Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving. A special day where families come together to stuff their fucking faces. Isn't it interesting how primal we still are? One of our biggest holiday's of the year is nothing more than "the big eating day." That's all it is. It's supposed to be an American traditional day commemorating everything one is thankful for. But in the end, it's all about eating.

Unfortunately, I'm not as primal as most people. I don't give a shit about the food, really. The only thing I like is seeing the family. I still think this holiday is a fine example of how very primal and instinctual we still are.

I was thinking about what I'm thankful for. To contrast the list, I will also make a list of things I am not thankful for.

Thankful

  • Xanax, which keeps me a happy and docile boy
  • Computers, my extremely unhealthy addiction
  • Well Fargo Acceptance, who gave me a car loan
  • Good Tippers, who are probably what I'm most thankful for
  • Bowling, great stress relief and a decent price
  • Walmart's prices and variety
  • Bank errors that give me 102 bucks for nothing

    Not Thankful

  • Doctors who monthly hold your mental health hostage with absurd $55 charges for 5 minutes of their time
  • Bit Torrent soon to be dead
  • The 13% interest rate on my fucking car loan and the cocksuckers at Hyundai who are trying to dick me out of my warranty
  • Ignorant cunts who don't realize I drive their dinner to them using my car and my gas
  • Obnoxious drunks at the bowling alley
  • Walmart's stupid fucking employees who ask to check my fucking receipt after I spend 80 fucking dollars
  • $33 overdraft charges for going over my balance by 32 cents

    So, that's my list. I could have made it much longer, but there's the short version. Have a nice Thanksgiving. And that's what it's called, by the way. You fucking faggots. It's not "Turkey Day" and It's not "Gobble Day." It's fucking Thanksgiving. I fucking hate that term more than any. "Have a nice Turkey Day!" Fuck you, you ignorant soccer mom cunt. I hope you get cancer of the ovaries.

    "By the President of the United States of America.

    A Proclamation.

    The year that is drawing towards its close, has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields
    and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to
    forget the source from which they come, others have been added, which are of so
    extraordinary a nature, that they cannot fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is
    habitually insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil
    war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign States to
    invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has
    been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed
    everywhere except in the theatre of military conflict; while that theatre has been greatly
    contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth
    and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defence, have not
    arrested the plough, the shuttle or the ship; the axe has enlarged the borders of our
    settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded
    even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased, notwithstanding
    the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege and the battle-field; and the country,
    rejoicing in the consiousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect
    continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor
    hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most
    High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered
    mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and
    gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People. I
    do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who
    are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last
    Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father
    who dwelleth in the Heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the
    ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with
    humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender
    care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners or sufferers in the lamentable
    civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of
    the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be
    consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity and
    Union.

    In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States
    to be affixed.

    Done at the City of Washington, this Third day of October, in the year of our Lord one
    thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the Independence of the Unites States the
    Eighty-eighth.

    By the President: Abraham Lincoln

    William H. Seward,
    Secretary of State"

    I'm suprised we can still celebrate thanksgiving day with all this seperation of religion and state. It originated by Lincoln wanting to set aside a day to give thanks to "God." That would never be accepted today.
