Thankful for Thanksgiving Memes

Twin memes on a US based Thanksgiving holiday:



What am I thankful for:

• that I will get to see my parents, and all my siblings in the same place for the first time this year.
• full family employment
• that I have a 5 day weekend for this Thanksgiving weekend
• that i was able to make a donation to Metropolitan Ministries Food Bank in Tampa which really needs help
• 2 for 1 Pomegranates at Publix
• The fact that I can type serious and stupid shit here and someone may actually read it
• my wife and my kids, all of whom I love
  the hope for so many things provided by the election of Barack Obama
• the interwebs power to connect so many people
• Sarah Palin staying on as Governor of Alaska
• Alec Baldwin's caricature character on 30 Rock

Not so thankful for:

• the state of the economy
• being made to think about my turkey dinner wearing a bikini
• bias on so many levels still rampant
• the eventual return of $4 a gallon gas
• daily commutes in excess of 90 miles
• predicted unemployment exceeding 7.5%
• shifting health care costs to employees
• dishonesty in so many corporations
• stupid people any time and anywhere
• so many flavor choices for Mountain Dew
• the Starbucks at the corner of Hillsborough & Sheldon in Tampa, which is the worst Starbucks ever
• my lost Blackberry
• Michael Vick getting a suspended sentence
• Alec Baldwin
• Sarah Palin staying on as Governor of Alaska
• More Brad and Angelina, (also more Katie and Tom, and really any news about celeb couples marrying, divorcing, sexing, pregging or anything..
• Alec Baldwin's caricature self in real life
• all the misguided violence, death, injury and misery taking place around Mumbai

Best wishes for all whether today is a holiday or just a normal business Thursday for all my non-US based friends and contacts!
