I'm a cypher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. Also, my name is Kev and I own this here website.
I started to write this post on Thanksgiving Day, but I wasn’t feeling very inspired. Even though I had much to be thankful for, I was too melancholy at the time to put any of it into words. A week later, I’m up for completing it. This list is as random as I can get, so enjoy.
I am thankful…
…that God loves me.
…for four-day weekends (i.e. four straight days with no alarm clock). If every week had a four-day weekend, the work week would be incredibly easy.
…Keanu Reeves didn’t have a movie of note this year. What’s that? He’s starring in a remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still? Oh crap.
…my brother bought the first four seasons of House on DVD. When you’re bored and melancholy during a four-day weekend, House’s biting sarcasm really lifts your spirits.
…that the Atlanta Falcons are actually good this year. This helped lessen the blow of the Braves sucking this year. On a related note, the Yankees and Mets both missing the playoffs helped, too.
…it’s finally getting cold here in my neck of the woods. I love jacket weather. I love jackets. I’d wear a jacket every day of the year if not for the fact I would die of heat exhaustion in July.
…I got to know a pretty awesome girl this summer.
…Scott Weiland finally came out with a second solo album (ten years after his first). I’m very thankful it was a double album. I am not thankful for Best Buy, who still hasn’t shipped me the album even though I ordered it two weeks ago.
…that my family and friends are all happy and healthy.
…Saxby Chambliss bested Jim Martin for the Senate.
…dinner rolls are a Thanksgiving staple in our house. I make mini-turkey sandwiches out of them. They’re delicious.
…Paris Hilton has finally gone bye-bye. What’s that? She has her own reality show on MTV? Oh crap.
…Katy Perry can’t sing because it increases the chances her inexplicable popularity will be short lived.
…I went another 365 days without accidentally eating tuna. Tuna is evil.
…the insanely boring, unnecessary meeting I just endured didn’t completely zap my sanity.
What were all of YOU thankful for this Thanksgiving? Please leave a comment or two or ten and share your thoughts with the class.
FYI: Next week, I’m writing my long delayed July 4th blog post.

I love House. Eerily similar to chapters of my own life and just like me: All mouth, all the time, but underneath the crust and barnacles someone more human than most. House with breasts and without an addiction problem. All that sarcasm is actually cathartic, and it doesn’t hurt that that much bold-faced truth actually moves you forward instead of 3 steps back, 14 steps sideways, down 6 flights of stairs, and finally just sitting down and kowtowing (like gooey-brained Barney-the-Dinosaur libtard dingleberries seem compelled to do).
PS: I am suffering blog ennui… so I’ve just been stalking all y’all – sporadically. Worse, I remembered why I don’t like WordPress and will probably slink back off to Blogger (that’s why I took my URL link out here) – after my newest “arch-nemesis” has hopefully forgotten about me or at least grows up a little. BUT… I see my name’s dropped off your list of top commentators, so I need to get on the stick. THAT deficiency is the result of a particularly ugly flare and entirely expected (probably also explains the lack of desire to blog, huh?), said flares like looking at the world from the center of the 7th circle of Hell, so I know you’ll forgive me. After all, your life’s so much more sparkly and tingly now that I’ve left the shadows of trolling and bestowing my wit here (where there’s actually more than 4 people who read than my own blog!), and I’m like an addictive drug that you just can’t get enough of (heh, that’s why you went searching for my URL!!!!).
ROFL. Anyhow, big hugs to ya, and I’ll be sure to stalk you some more – SOON.

Ha ha, Angie cracks me up.
I like coats and jackets too. I have to be very careful about looking at them in the store or I will spend half of each paycheck just on coats.
Get crackin’ on the 4th of July post. I’ve been wondering and wondering about it but was too polite to say anything.

I love jacket weather too, Kev! Although for me it’s more likely to be a lightweight cardigan. Our daily highs are still hovering around 60-65. Great weather.
But I must differ with you on tuna! I like tuna. I eat it at least twice a year.
Goooooooooo Saxby Chambliss! I am so happy about that. And how about our Jim DeMint, forcing the evil leftists in Washington to put “In God We Trust” on the display of the Senate rostrum in the new D.C. Visitor Center? The commie pinko libs wanted to leave it off … idiots.
Of course, the whole reason we have a new Visitor Center (at a pretty-penny cost to the already-beleaguered common taxpayer is that Harry Reid can’t stand the smell of the great unwashed masses streaming through the capitol rotunda. Hey … aren’t those OUR BUILDINGS? I’ll walk through there any time I please, Mr. Reid. And you’ll like the way I smell but I’ll have to hold my nose when I get downwind of you.
How did I get off on that tangent????????????

You’d love it here in mid-Michigan, Kev (you know, just outside Saginaw, home of the infamous eBay house?)…. Yesterday DH said it was 15 degrees. We went into Wal-Mart and came back out to find the locks on the van doors frozen.
