Ungrateful

Every year Americans give thanks for the same old cliche bullshit. This Thanksgiving I’ve decided to take a different approach by  listing a few things I’m not thankful for…

Number 1:  Food. I’m sure this is taboo to say, but it’s true. I could use a little starvation, and I know there are people out there who need food more than I do. Why can’t my portion to go to them?

Number 2:  Family, especially my mother who goes to great lengths to ensure that she makes my life as miserable as she has made her own.

Number 3:  Friendships, particularly in the workplace because inevitably they translate into regular lunches out.

Number 4:  Fat. It may have once served an evolutionary purpose, but now it only serves to hinder my ass from fitting into size 2 jeans.

Number 5: Fleas. I tried to do a good thing by rescuing some homeless kittens and it came back to bite me in the ass. Literally.

For those of you who may read this and think that I’m an ungrateful, unpatriotic bitch, you may have something there. Of course, you can go shove a turkey thigh up your ass if you don’t like it. To the rest of you, have a happy thanksgiving and try not to get fat.

Agreed; thanksgiving has too much food and alcohol which results in family violence and shame. However I am still thankful for some things… I am thankful for the internet as it allows me to connect with others who share the same sentiment.

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I have gone so long without penciling in forced time to read your blog. Here Here to your list.

Is Skinny Dog also affected by the fleas!?

Whoa. Where did your blog come from? I just stumbled upon it. Fantab! Super post.

I am not thankful for the multiple social parties of the holiday season that all center around partaking in food and drink (or faking it) in order to not be rude.
