Adieu

Hrm, so my brother came downstairs a mere 2 minutes ago to inform me that Christopher Reeve, a.k.a Superman, has passed away. I always felt for the guy; what an unfortunate situation he was in. May his soul rest in peace.

On a lighter note, Thanksgiving dinner was really good. And when I say really good, I mean "so much turkey and good food until you feel like you can't breathe" type of good. =) Thanks to Kev and his family for inviting me over for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a real pleasure meeting Oma and Esther. Eccentric, but very interesting individuals.

I guess I haven't really delved into the what I'm really thankful for. I've been so blessed. I was thinking about this quite a bit during mass yesterday. I can't say I was all there and listening during the homily, but all the same, I was praying and saying my thank you's to God. Through all the grief and anger that family causes me (you know, the usual stupid family bickering between the mother and I, the brother and I, the sister and I, etc. LOL!), I'm still thankful to have them. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I certainly wouldn't be who I am today. It's sort of bittersweet, I guess? All the same, when I sit down and think about it all, I know they do what they do out of love...even when it seems to be otherwise. Second on my list, I most definitely have to be thankful for my friends. Over the past year or so, I've made many acquaintances, built new friendships, and forged new bonds with people. It really has been an eye-opener...an amazing experience...in getting to know these individuals. To those who have advanced to bigger and better things, it has been my pleasure, and I wish you all the best in the future. To the people that I still keep in touch with, whether we grow apart slowly, grow old together as friends, or go through our normal cycle of up's and down's, you're all still very dear to me. You know who you are. Know that I cared, still care, and will continue to. I especially miss my highschool gang. I do keep in touch with them on and off, moreso with certain individuals than others. It's hard, I suppose, to keep up with the craziness of life and find time to regularly keep in touch. All the same, I try, and I know they try...and it's nice to know that they still do care. Remember, there's no one to blame and no finger-pointing. Especially not at Thanksgiving. =P Last, but certainly not least, I can only say that I've been incredibly happy throughout September, and I ultimately hope that we keep this up. To think that a mere 10 months ago, to me DK was the seemingly crazy dude at the club...and now look. At my angriest times, at my saddest times, at my happiest...you've been through it all. September has definitely not been an easy month. With the way things had been going, I was treading in shallow water. And, well, the rest is history. History that will definitely be remembered, mind you...but history all the same. I'm smiling, and so thankful. =) ^ (infinity) Let the good times roll; the crazier the better!
