So here I am, sitting at my desk listening to the silent hum of my desktop computer spinning. Over to the left, my HP laptop is playing it's screensaver....silently as it sits there poised at the ready. Infront of me, is my other laptop glaring at me while I listen to the grand theme to the Final Fantasy Remix....an orchestraic performance soothing to my ears and fantastic to my mind. And my fingers are churning and typing out words upon words as streams of thoughts and stories weave a tale in my mind while poetic words are etched onto my digital canvas forevermore. I suppose if I was to write out every grand thought and imagination from my mind, I would undoubtly have enough sheets of paper to fill a stadium....or two. Of course, the question is, how much of that would be entertaining......or even legible in that matter. I've had a few inquiries from some of my readers that ask, "Why not start a blog since you're already posting your random thoughts?" And my answer? Frankly, I don't want a blog. Afterall, it's limited. A blog is more geared towards "small" snippets of thoughts or quick communication amongst blog readers. But what I do, it's different. If you haven't noticed from most of my other articles, I usually have some type of "underlining" message or theme. As well, some of my work even tells a story of sort...in a round about way. Above all, I prefer to call my work "articles" rather than having to call them "blog entries". Besides, I'm a webdesigner, a stereotypical blogger uses templates since they aren't really webdesigners, unlike I.....(patting myself on the back here). My motto is, if I must create anything to be displayed on the internet, I'll creat it from scratch....and that's typically using nothing more than "Notepad".

Can you believe it? It's already November! Wow how time really does fly. 2006 is right around the corner. I don't know about you guys (and girls), but I'm hoping to see some flying cars, walking robots and vacations on the moon before I kick the bucket. I mean, weren't there alot of movies back in the days that "hinted" at the early 2000's to be the years where reality meets fiction? No? Huh, must be my imagination kicking in again. God, I'd give my left nut to be able to navigate a flying car just so I can drive...or rather "fly" strait down upon a city only to pull up really quick a split second before I crash into the streets below! WAHOO! Talk about a rush! Oooooo, my head's already spinning! I'll tell you what, before I kill over with old age, I'm gonna make sure to check off some of the things on my "to-do" list. One of them is the flying car thing.....although, I'm having doubts I'll get to that point. Oh well. I suppose I'm just gonna have to move on to the next line down......WAHOO! STREAKING IN THE WHITEHOUSE, HERE I COME!!! Oh, and of course, jumping off the Golden Gate bridge. Hmmm, that one I might just have to scratch off. I've heard there's some mean looking sharks in that water.

Well, here we are, Thanksgiving at last! This is my favorite holiday! Why is it you ask? Well, it should be pretty obvious right!? I LOOOOVE FOOD!! And with Thanksgiving, I can pig out like there will be no tomorrow! WAHOO!! All that turkey, all that stuffing and cranberries, and beer, and pumkin pies, and assorted goodies and yummies! WAHOO!!! The bad part, there's not enough "rest time" after such a great holiday as this. Take for instance, I could have sworn last year my buddy had to roll me to the bathroom to take a piss cuz I was so full from stuffing my face, I couldn't even move. I must have weighed atleast 3 times my normal weight. I think this is the only time of the year that I can actually look down and can't see ol' hank-the-shank cuz of my oversized belly....(full of turkey and beer). Well, this year I've got a plan, yep! I will have to no longer worry about not being able to see ol' hank-the-shank, or being tumbled to the bathroom. I won't even have to worry about buying a new scale to replace the one that couldn't handle my over-the-limit girth. Yep folks, I'm coming prepared. I went out and bought a corset just for this time of the year! Now.....if I can only figure out how it works.

Besides all that great food, there's something else about Thanksgiving that makes it absolutely wonderful. It's the season where all friends and loved ones get together to have the ultimate meal, the "last supper" if you will, of the year. As some of you may already know, I myself really don't have a family that I can call my own......mother has passed away, father won't speak to me anymore and my siblings just don't care. But this is not the time to think of such depressing topics. Rather, it's the time to celebrate with bodies that are still there, that still do care. And for me, these people are my closest of friends, my adopted grandparents, their children....whom I call my cousins and aunts. This is the time of year that I can say to the person standing next to me at the dinner table, "brother, I may not be of blood, or a distant cousin, or a lost sibling, but you know what, I love you as if you were. Let us sit down, hold hands and pray to the God above to thank him for all the blessings of the past and for all the ones yet to come". Yes, it is truly the the season to give thanks. And what am I thankful for? Well.........for being able to walk this world knowing that I am being loved.
