Thanks

Its that time where the leaves are all orange and red, in some cases brown, and we all think of spiced apple cider, turkeys, and that one cousin, you know who I’m talking about. But above all, we think about things we are thankful for. May it be the gentle fall breeze or the cop that didn't noticed you were completely shitfaced; its these little things that make life just a wee bit better.

So this turkey day I've decided that I’m thankful for a lot of things that have happened over the past year and its time for me to thank them, in list format.

Thank you digital camera, for documenting memories that I will cherish, regret, and ultimately use as blackmail material. You have documented highs such as my graduation, and lows such as that one night, with all the liquor, and sex toys. Although I ultimately did replace my old one with a newer, sexier one, they all serve the same purpose, and I am thankful.

Thank you RAMZ Hall, not only for spelling your name in all caps and with an EXTREME Z at the end, but also for the fact that you are above my next thanks.

Thank you Qdoba and Five Guys, your fragrant cooking fills up my nostrils everytime I exit my building. May it be the awesome bacon smell in the morning, or the sultry spiced chicken in the evening, you seem to fit all my emotions. I go to you to fill a void, usually a food void, but a void nonetheless. Its as if, you guys complete me.

Thank you 40s on the porch, without you I would have 15 less facebook friends. You introduced my to some people I am glad I met, and some I am glad I know to now avoid. Although you don't always treat me well and have me regretting you the next day, you are always a good reason to have friends on a porch. Also, you are a pefect cap on my Thursday night. Which leads me to …

Thank you Monday and Thursday night television. Prison Break, Heroes, Studio 60, Ugly Betty, Grey’s anatomy, and the now defunct Six Degrees all bring me over 6 hours of quality programming each week. You give me reasons to hang out with friends, and a reason to avoid others. You guys are great conversation starters and always deliver. If its new or old I still watch you guys.

Thank you Halloween. You provided me a solid week of parties and a grand finale that will not be forgotten anytime soon, as soon as I can remember it. You helped me find my way as a bartender, and gave me a reason to dress in a plastic coat and ash. You also showed me the confidence and uber masculinity I have in myself to shotgun a beer using only my canines. Although you sent me to class drunk, just to make a fool of myself, I still like you. You may only come around once a year, but you’re hella’ awesome.

Thank you Facebook. You allow me to stalk people without feeling creepy.

Thank you Nintendo. Thank you for releasing the DS and the Wii, bringing gaming back to its simplistic, “all about fun” roots and for burning a major hole in my wallet.

Thank you alcohol. What can I say, stay classy.

Thank you Utah. It was great visiting you, and I hope to visit you again. You had some great sides like Sundance and Bryce canyon. Also your hoodoos are very sexy.

I know I’m forgetting some things, but its so hard to thank all of you. Some quick things I’d like to thank are: that cozy feeling when you just wake up, hot chocolate, cancelled classes, extensions on deadlines, pulling strings, beach, warmth, sun, snow, music, movies, and of course you, the reader, because all four of you are just so freaking awesome I just want to roll you up and dunk you into my coffee. Then maybe cover up the bodies and frame another man for the deed. Because you know, can’t exactly leave a trail.
