Thankfulness...

So, I was looking through my old blogs and realized that I pretty much use it for a sounding board when I'm pissed about a major life event.

That's a bad thing.

Considering I realize how blessed I am and how truly great life can be, I think it's time for me to actually write something like that. Major life event: Thanksgiving 2012. I missed all opportunities to pray with others because I was running on CPT. (That's Colored People Time for those who don't know, and it means to run late.) Therefore, I took some time to pray by myself, and realized that I need to mention a few things that I'm thankful for, and some people.

First and foremost, I am thankful for my family. Anyone who know Moms knows she is a nut, and that usually continues with the time I spend with her. We have developed a special relationship that is fantastic, and I'm grateful for that. My brother is awesome, my sister is still my baby sister, and Steppops is a trip. My grandparents are still the best people I know, and I can't be thankful for them enough. Then I have a whole OTHER side to the family! Dad, stepmoms, some stepsiblings, and they're great too. If I could just teach my Dad to use REGULAR time, not military time, and stop stealing everything I put on my plate and all my drinks, then I would consider him housebroken. I know this whole paragraph is cliche, but whatever. It's my blog and I can write whatever I want. Ha. Ha.

I am thankful for a great job with a very understanding person at the helm. And I'm not brown-nosing, because he won't even read this. Guaranteed.

To my favorite banger-that-rides-a-bike: you keep me intelligent, sane, and on my toes. Thankful for that and so much more, but we're men and I'm not gonna talk about it. Loyalty is hard to find, and I'm glad it's mutual. You, sir, will always have my friendship.

To the rhythm-making professor: Read above, apply to you.

To the good Doctor: I will sit at that crappy place with you and drink that crappy coffee almost anytime. Almost. Because that's what we do.

To my favorite pastor: Words cannot express how much you truly mean to me, and how I thank God every day for bringing you into my life. I hope that as life goes on, I can learn to be as generous, kind, intelligent, and warm as you are to everyone you know, and I love you. Or, as you like to say, "I got nuttin' but love for you!"

To my favorite snowstorm: You don't know this, and you'll more-than-likely never read it, but there is something that needs to be said. You reminded me that there are drop-dead gorgeous women in this world that have a good heat. You are the very definition of the word "kind," and I consider myself blessed to know you.

Hey codsack: Lersh Be Furnds. And I am so very thankful we are. I look forward to continuing to grow closer as friends and for being there when you need me, as you are for me.

To the entire chapter of Eastern Carolina Untzheadz - Damn, I absolutely love being friends with you guys, and we can have a kiki anytime. I'm thankful that no matter what, when we get together, it's always fun, silly, great, and meaningful all at the same time. (This includes the following DJ's - Johnny Drago, J-Love, Hottie, Cancel, and BrickHouse.)

And to all of my cousins: I have an individual relationship with each one of you, and I am thankful for it. I love you all with everything I can, and even though we don't get to spend that much time together, know that I cherish every moment we do spend. And I mean this for each of you.

There are a few other people that belong here, but I have told them this so many times that I honestly feel it goes without saying. They know I'm thankful for them, and I got stuff to do.

Oh, and in no particular order, I'm also thankful for Netflix, Redbox, my car, BPM and Electric Area, Walgreens, deodorant, my bird Ferry, badonkadonks, all the teachers in the spanish department at Coastal, college in general, coffee, smartphones, women with cute butts, and so many more things.

See? I can talk about nice things!
