Thanksgiving!

Today is Thanksgiving.

A day that is usually filled with pure nothingness and eating
ALL DAY! I usually regret it the next day, but my exercise will serve as running
through the many stores tomorrow for all the black Friday sales.

This year has been a trying year though.
I have a lot to be thankful for, because many people are going without during the holidays because of this horrible state that the economy is in.

I am thankful for...

• Being alive. Life is precious and I am truly happy that I have been allowed to grace this earth with my wonderful presence for 22 years.
• Being in good health. I have no major life threatening illnesses, I have not been hospitalized, so I've been doing pretty good.
• Family. Although, there are the ups and downs, I am appreciative that I have some sort of family structure that is there for me and lends out the support that they can. This year while working at the school, I feel for the children I see that are doing it on their own because they have parents and family that have neglected to be a vital piece in their lives.
• Friends. I love my friends so much. My best friend is my heart. I am learning to forgive. I have met new friends of whom I adore.
• Having a job. Many people are without. The kids aren't that bad are they!
• Having a house, food to eat, and a car to drive. These are things that some people consider luxury but I can afford and have been blessed with these things.

Be thankful for something today because there are many who are going without something that you have been blessed with.

Besos :*

TMI Tuesday!

1. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
Mashed potatoes. My grandma makes them the absolute best!
2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?
Hmm...I don't know. The T-Pain vocal is getting OVERKILL.
3. You seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy crap, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it?
I would use it to put towards those knee boots I've been eying for a month or to get my new hair cut.
4. What is your favorite curse word?
Fuck, for various reasons ;)
5. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?
Probably when I was about 12 yrs old. back at my old house. Childhood was so much better than this adulthood thing.
Bonus (as in optional):You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What's it gonna be?
I would like the super power to read people's minds to see what they are thinking, so that in turn I could possibly change my behavior to suit their thoughts.

Thoughts Through Song

Kanye West: Love Lockdown


I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So ya never know, never never know
Never know enough, til it's over love
Til we lose control, system overload
Screaming no no no, no no
I ain't loving you, the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but can't escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don't have to know
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got something to lose, so I gotta move
I can't keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when I'm on my own
Somewhere far from home, In the danger zone
How many times did it take til I finally got through
You lose, you lose
I ain't loving you, the way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to go
No more wasting time, we can't wait for life
Which is wasting time, wheres the finish line
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
You keep ya love locked down, you lose
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
I met no one new, I got no one new
No I said I'm through, but got love for you
But I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it going, keep the loving going
Keep it on a roll, only god knows
Am I into you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
I ain't loving you, the way I wanted to
Way I got to go, I don't need you
I been on this road, too many times before
I ain't loving you, the way I wanted to
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, you lose
So keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, ya love locked down
If you keep ya love locked down, ya love locked down
Keeping ya love locked down, you lose
