So it’s Thanksgiving again… And for some odd reason Chanukah arrives the day after. Sheesh..this holiday gets earlier every year. At this rate, I’m fully expecting to light the menorah in August. Fun, sun and latkes anyone? Anyway, since Thanksgiving is all about thanks, I thought I’d take a break from hating terrorists, being royally pissed about September 11th and fighting a deep desire to kick anyone in the shins who wears tight white jeans, to give thanks. Just for today I shall try to remove all the angst and mishegas from my soul and remember the things I really feel thankful for. So here goes.. I am thankful, that I live in Manhattan where I can scowl at strangers, grimace over nothing, kvetch over everything and talk to myself in great depth without even warranting a second glance by passersby. I am thankful, that I no longer live with my family or anyone remotely related to my family, (no offense to my clan, I love ya all, just not under the same roof or in the same state). I am thankful that I have a hot Cuban to while away the late night hours with, although La Cubana doesn’t seem to be around for the early hours or the mid hours or the not so late hours…or….never mind…I’m thankful…I’m thankful. I am thankful that I have rather large pouty lips. Eat your heart out Collagen mouths! I am thankful, that I don’t live in a Muslim country because surely I would have been stoned many, many years back and I don’t mean in a good way. I am thankful that for the moment I live alone and can bathe, expel gas, couch potato out and sing badly to U2 anytime I want to. I am thankful that HOPEFULLY, I am cute enough that I can stop living alone anytime I want to. I am thankful that my soul was not re-born into the body of a turkey. I am thankful that no one I ever dated looks like George Bush either in a male or female version…although…hmm..never mind. I am thankful that the great surviving spirit of New Yorkers and Americans came shining through like a giant blast of goodness and blew away all the death and the dust of one terrible day in September. I guess I’m just thankful to be here, right now, living my life and telling you folks all about it. Happy turkey-day..ya’all or tofu turkey day to some of you.
