Doing better this Thanksgiving over last year.

Bro's not in jail, just the hospital, so he's doing better, too.Maybe he can get some sort of useful rehab?

Getting together with Momster and Wilt for a midday TG buffet. Good deal. She doesn't cook, and I don't have to do dishes.

Random Scotto Factoid: I left home during Thanksgiving when I was 17. Weird to think that was over half my life ago.

If my father had lived, Saturday would've been his 60th birthday.

Happy Thanksgiving, Burroughs style: mp3

Weirdest recurring theme with yesterday's quiz/meme. Answers to question #2. Everyone replying would let me hug 'em, but 4 different people (behind masked comments) stated that they'd prefer if I didn't hug 'em while on the potty. Not a huge concern, really.

The above sentence sung in "ransom mode".

"Thank U"

how bout getting off these antibiotics
how bout stopping eating when I'm full up
how bout them transparent dangling carrots
how bout that ever elusive kudo

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

how bout me not blaming you for everything
how bout me enjoying the moment for once
how bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
how bout grieving it all one at a time

thank you india
thank you terror
thank you disillusionment
thank you frailty
thank you consequence
thank you thank you silence

the moment I let go of it was the moment
I got more than I could handle
the moment I jumped off of it
was the moment I touched down

how bout no longer being masochistic
how bout remembering your divinity
how bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
how bout not equating death with stopping

thank you india
thank you providence
thank you disillusionment
thank you nothingness
thank you clarity
thank you thank you silence
