Pumping Irony

It’s been years and years since I’ve liked this holiday in the slightest, mostly because of getting sick from eating too many olives and chocolate-covered raisins as a kid one Thanksgiving. But still, being thankful for various people and aspects in your life is a good notion. I wasn’t planning on writing anything like this at all when I clicked the link to my blog, but here is a quickie off-the-cuff (you have no idea how off-the-cuff this is!) list of what I am thankful for in 2009.

• My family and friends. I may not get to see you often in person (my mother raked me over the coals that I have to work both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year — same as every year, mom! — and haven’t been home in over 2 years) but I love you all very much!
• My girlfriend, (anonymous code name: L) who never ceases to be amazing and inspirational on so many levels. Love you, sweetie!
• In light of the high unemployment rate in the US, I am thankful that I have a decent-paying job at all, because many people unfortunately do not.
• My new subwoofer and I are thankful that the condo directly underneath mine is currently vacant! We’ve been enjoying that fact; oh yes we have!

Anyway, I wished all my friends, readers, fellow bloggers and tweeters a Happy Thanksgiving, but I wanted to have it here as well. Hope all of you had a great holiday and that you all have something to be thankful for this year.
