Yes, this Thursday we will be celebrating my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving and then slowly sink into the depressive hell that is Christmas season.
Thanksgiving, to me, is one of the few holidays that has kept it's integrity despite the poisonous commercialization that has captured and killed Christmas and Valentines day.
As a matter of fact, Thanksgiving is miraculous in that it's foundations are the most problematic and un-morally sound of our holidays with Columbus Day perhaps leading the "fucked up holidays we choose to blindly celebrate" list.
Now, if you don't know what I mean, please take a second to revisit all those pleasant kindergarten memories of natives and pilgrims eating turkey and corn together happily and then watch the video link below.

"Hello Savages!" HaHaHa
That is the truest representation of America's Pilgrim and Native relationship outside of some boring scholarly texts you could pick up at your local library. And I encourage teachers to share this video with their students. We need to stop lying to our children. They already know the world isn't all unicorns and rainbows and that some people are just plain mean for no reason; they are called bullies. So stop feeding our children that crap about the pilgrims being nice people.
As for Black Friday... the stores can go to hell. With what money am I gonna buy your discounted shit with?
Nope, I'm going to spend Thursday being thankful that I can drink a beer, watch the game, stuff my belly with a 9 months worth of food baby, and sleep until Monday.
What else is there to be thankful for? ... Maybe that Bush is out of Office. Thank God for that!
Would you like a small pox blanket?
