Well, Thanksgiving has come upon us once again. I apologize for not posting any blogs for a while, but school and such prevented me from not doing anything.

For those of you who have been reading this blog since the beginning, I posted a blog like this last year.

Once again, I'll devote this blog to say what I'm thankful for this year, although my list of things I'm thankful for has some change from last year, but similar themes still exist.

For instance, I'm thankful for my brothers of DPO. My first full year of the frat has been good, we've had ups and downs, but we're still together and still going strong. We also had our annual Thanksgiving Eve Party last night, but it was at our usual spot at Shamrocks rather than Caramel Lounge of last year. I'll have to say that this party went a hell of a lot better, as there was more space and just as many people. I had a much better time than last year, and there were no lines to get in after going out to get air, as there was more than once exit in the place.

I'm also thankful for my friends. I have made plenty of new ones this year and they're all glad to have me in their life, as well as I am with them. This is getting a little cheesy, but oh well.

What I'm really thankful for is my girlfriend. Sam & I have been together for 7 months now and I don't regret a moment of it. I was one of those people who never believed that love existed, but then Sam & I became a couple, and I've found that love is real.

As opposed to last year, I'm thankful that I'm not working an opening shift for Black Friday tomorrow. Since KB is gone, I no longer have to be at work at 4:30 in the goddamn morning. I can sleep in now! When my manager showed my this week's schedule and I saw that I was working from 2-8 tomorrow, I literally said to her "I love you."

And once again, I'm not thankful for ABC's Scheduling of "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving." They're still not playing it on Thanksgiving, but they did move its showing a day later than last year, on Tuesday as opposed to Monday. I do, however, fear the day when the special will suffer the same scheduling fate as "Charlie Brown Christmas," which, after reading last year's Thanksgiving post, aired on the 28th of November!  Fprtunately, I have yet to hear when this special will air, and with the Writer's Strike still going on, I'll assume that it'll actually air in December this year to make up for holes in programming.

Finally, sadly, I had no trucks jacknife in front of my house this year, so no more free cases of soda.

And that's it for me for now. That tryptophan's starting to kick in now, so I hope I don't fall asleep while typing this. I'm going to pop in Garfield's Thanksgiving Special in my DVD player and see if the humor can be amplified from my buzz.

Not to make any promises, but I hope that after my major work for school ends, I'll be posting Christmas-themed blogs like I did last year. Also, My Top 50 Animated Villains Blog will be coming soon, and hope to get it posted before the end of the year.
