Dear Thanksgiving,
Hello friends from beautiful and blustery Northern
California less than 24 hours before the annual feast that is known as
Thanksgiving is upon us. We have many things to be grateful for on this day of
reflection of thanks, good tidings and family and I would like to share some of
what this rice farmer is thankful for this year……
1.
My friends. Every time someone asks me the one
thing I could not live without this will be always my answer. (I know some of
you are thinking that answer would be booze, rice and beautiful women but don’t
worry they will all make the list at some point).
2.
Family. I don’t really mention them much here
but yes I do have a mother, father, two brothers, two nieces and one nephew. I
may not say it but I do love each and every one of you.
3.
My peeps who read this blog. Whether it be on
Facebook or the blog site itself the responses I get back be it comments left,
texts, phone calls or in person conversation are what keeps me continually
trying to write something thought provoking or smile inducing for you each
week. (Well that and the thought of Hollywood finally acknowledging my genius
and giving me that much needed break! If I need to lick sledgehammers sign me
up)
4.
Cosby. Besides constantly stealing the spotlight
from me and thus regulating me to his personal driver on his climb to fame he
more importantly puts a smile on my face every day.
5.
Kim Kardashian. Without you cupcake monster and
your constant love of all things baked or your knack for making irrelevant rappers
famous with the push of a button or just the general way you carry yourself and
how we look at so called “celebrities” currently. If it wasn't for you I would
have to work that much harder to find a topic to share each week.
6.
Chico. Being one of the fortunate few who get to
call it home after graduating makes me the envy of many of friends who have had
to pack their belongings and leave after walking across the podium. It is a
town that fails to be affected by inflation or the cost of living. $40 gets you
inebriated, a slice a pie and a ride home still here. It gets you a glass of
water in the city minus the ice.
7.
Canada. EH.
8.
The rice
industry. Since the NFL had no room for a 5’9” safety with suspect speed rice became
my passion as my chosen profession. I have worked in all aspects of the
industry and it has allowed me to meet numerous lifelong friends across the
nation and do things and meet people that would never have been possible otherwise.
(Cuban’s and mojito’s with the Ambassador anybody?)
9.
Texas. From Weatherford to Dallas to San Antonio
to Austin to Houston to Victoria and all the beer joints and BBQ pits in-between.
I will be seeing y’all soon.
10.
Tito’s. I love vodka……This is pretty self-explanatory.
11.
Fireball. I really don’t love you but you somehow
seem to get me to hang out with you on the reg.
12.
Merica. I could have said this at the start and
covered all my bases.
PS. Happy hump day peeps along with cocktails and dreams on
this Thanksgiving holiday and remember….Don’t trust anyone who can bite there
ice cream without flinching, it’s just not natural. Gobble Gobble.
