The Coming Holiday

Well it's been a fairly busy last two weeks in my life. Work picked up pretty nicely aside from this week. Fifteen hours is pretty unheard of to me in the business of the holiday season. Oh well though, gives me time to relax and catch up with my hobbies and life.

These holidays are coming up a lot faster than I could have imagined. Just to think that Thanksgiving is Thursday is pretty surreal. As of the last five or six years my holidays have been pretty absent. After the falling out of my mother's side of the family we haven't really done much at all in celebration. I wish there didn't have to be any kind of family drama bullshit in any ones lives. It's just so unnecessary, so simple to just leave out. Then again I suppose the more you know about someone the more bad you can say about them, and who supposedly knows you better than your family.

This year I spend my Thanksgiving with my lover's family. It'll be nice, it'll feel like home. Thanksgiving hasn't ever really been a major celebration in my life, we'd gather and eat, it was always fairly awkward, and always uncomfortable. Celebrating with my mother's side of the family wasn't very desirable. There are only a couple of them that I can really stand, the others are crazy, trashy, or just malicious. Her family should make me feel like I'm having a nice Thanksgiving. They're very family oriented and nice. It'll be nice.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. It's been a vast improvement over the last two. I'm thankful for love, for happiness, for comfort, for my life. It's been a long grind so far and that's not changing too soon, but at least I know it's gotten better and it keeps getting better.

A New Day

Where the hell have I been? Busy? Distracted? I swear it's just a thing of forgetfulness, writing just doesn't sit high on my priority list. I can't tell you why, I suppose I just try to shove more things into my day.

It's been a good life lately though, things are looking up more and more every day. My job is going really well. I don't think that I've ever had a job in which respect is so clear and positivity is so damn reinforced. It feels good to be complimented, to be recognized for my achievements. Even if it's just a simple congradulations, it still makes all the difference. People underestimate the power of kindness.

I feel more and more that I'm at the point where my life turns into the future. No more waiting, no more frustration. I still wish that woman would call me back about that 4runner. I want it bad. I need it worse.

I'm happy that our government is going in a better direction. It'll take a bit of time for our nation to reunite and drop the whole pride thing, but people seem to be very happy with the new changes. I really think that people need to get over the gay marriage issue, I mean if you think our constitution should be changed to make you feel more comfortable in your PERSONAL beliefs, then why don't we get rid of divorce laws, premarital affairs, and out entire judicial system. I just don't know who gets the right to rape another of human rights, I could have sworn we got rid of that with the abolishment of slavery, but that's just me.
