Thirty Days Of Dougie III – Day 4: Giving Thanks!
November 25, 2013

The intentions were good, but already, this project is beginning to fall behind. Today is Monday and this particular piece should have been written on Sunday… and I’ve still got Monday’s to do and by the time I finish that, it’s going to be Tuesday morning and I’ll have that one to do as well.

Oh vey!

Let’s just keep it short and simple for today. No “magic box” to reach into. Instead, since we’re only a few days away from Thanksgiving, I’m going to talk about some of the things that I’m thankful for.

My family… both blood family and the one’s that have come into my life and have become family in my eyes. I’m a loner by nature and I have a hard time relating to people sometimes. I don’t let people get too close and drive them away if they do manage to get past the walls. It’s not a happy way to live, but after so many betrayals, heartbreaks, lies, backstabs and losing too many people, it’s just how I am. It’s how life made me and how I survive. So for those that I consider family, I may not always say it or show it very well, but please know that you are very special to me and mean a great deal to me.

My cat… She’s amazing and my one true friend who doesn’t judge or let me down at some point. Goldy is my fuzzy little fur baby.

Writing… It’s my outlet and way to communicate to the world, exorcising my demons in the the process. I am a writer. It is who and what I am and what makes me real.

And damn, RAW so far has been fairly interesting. I DVR’ed it and I’ve been watching as I write this and to be honest, I’d rather watch the wrestling than write. Crazy, isn’t it?
I’d rather see someone else besides John Cena and Randy Orton attempting to unify the WWE and World Championship titles (like maybe CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler for example), but the idea is long overdue and it’ll be nice to just have 1 champion again.

What was I talking about? The things I’m thankful for. Oh yeah, I’m so not into this anymore. *sighs*. Let me think of a few more things.

Humor… I like to laugh and even though it’s usually at the wrong things, it’s humor that helps me endure and survive the rough and bad times. If I can’t laugh, I’d probably cry and believe me, you would never want to see me cry. It isn’t a pretty sight.

Muppets… Something about the Muppets just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Animal, Count Von Count and Oscar the Grouch are my favorites.

Music… It connects to the soul and bleeds out feelings and emotions. It keeps me grounded while allowing me to go anywhere and everywhere. I love all kinds of music, but my mood has to be right too.

Chris… You are my heart, my soul and the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love you… then, now and forever.

And I think that’s all for now.
