a time of year to reflect on what makes us grateful; not to mention a time of year to gorge on food….

this year, i’m forgoing the family feast; it’s just too much considering it’s just me and my mom – i was gonna go over to amy’s for a bite, but i think all my recent travel is catching up with me and i’m a bit out of it…

but regardless of if i eat turkey and pie or not (mmmmm pie), there are a few things i am thankful for:

• my health – my itp appears to be in total remission & the hemophilia hasn’t affected me in any major way in quite a long time.
• parker – yea, i know it’s super gay to love a cat, but seriously – she rocks my world.
• my friends: stacey, scott, cb, amy, bill, ax & jerry, wendy, jen, ray & jeremy, greg, stephanie & shelly and hammer – words really can’t express what your friendship means to me and while we may not talk as much as we’d like, your always in my heart.
• my job; it’s so rare these days to have a job that you love, combined with working for a company you truly respect.
• my mom.
• the fact we finally have a democratic run house and senate
• being american
• being gay
• the blog-o-sphere…. (amazing men and woman who pour there hearts out for all to read/share)
• music & the people who write it…. prince, kate bush, peter gabriel, siouxsie, lloyd cole, madonna, johnette napolitano – the soundtrack to my life and the thing that makes me happiest
• daniel craig as the new bond – woof.
• trevor at steady tattoo for giving me a kick ass tattoo
• buddha for showing me the path and for guiding me back to the path when i loose my way

music heard:

never say never / romeo void

gapu / yothu yindi
