Thanks

       Thanksgiving is great, people talk about how thankful they are and they eat a shitload of food. What more can you ask for in a holiday? I'm thankful for a lot of things in my life, and I'm thankful for a lot of people in my life.
       Starting with family I am thankful for my sister. (Jen if you ever read this you can hold it over my head but i doubt you will.) I am truly thankful  for her though, as much as a bitch and complain and take on the overprotective big brother role i am proud of her. I'm also thankful for my mom and dad. For totally separate reasons... My mom is one of the smartest people i know and she has taught me the value of a good vocabulary and how much just reading a book can do for you. My dad is the reason i push myself in sports, I want to make him happy because i know how badly he wants me to excel. I am also thankful that my mom and dad are together and that my dad has given up drinking.
       I'm thankful for a lot of other family members also. All my aunts and uncles are amazing and i love them to death for different reasons. The same goes for my cousins. John, Jarrett, Maura, Joey, Emily, even Jack and Charlie. I love them all for various reasons. They have shaped me into who I am today and for that I am thankful.
       I also realize how blessed i am to have the friends I do. I guess I kind of have two sets of friends, the friends i hang out with on a daily basis and those who I talk to in school and never hang out with. Sure the two groups have different ideas of fun and different ideas of right and wrong, but I respect both equally. But my best friends are the onesI can have over my house to sleepover who run around in my basement playing NERF. I realize we probably sound like 2nd graders but it's what we do. I wouldn't trade those times for the world. While I'm at it i'd like to say I am thankful for inside jokes because they are the best kind of jokes.
       This blog is getting quite long so I will wrap it up by saying i am thankful for those people who make everyday a good day for me. The people who truly care and who take time out of their day to talk to me and just see how I am. Those are the best kind of people. Remember to tell the people you are thankful for that you love them.
