I hate you
she's gorgeous even without make-up
1)My mother/family--she's battled a series of strokes and a serious blood infection to be home for Thanksgiving before her major surgery to hopefully get her back to some sort of normalcy. Also, the strengthening of my family's cohesiveness surprises even me since we've haven't been the closest family in the world...
2)The Job--Though it's work; I don't have a problem having it. In this day and age you cannot be thankful enough if you're employed.
3)A Beautiful Girlfriend--sometimes my choatic mind puts people in a bind, but she dutifully reassures the public that I will not do something that will be nefarious in nature. She's also the only Laker hater I don't mind submissing to.
4) Mi Casa Bonita--Finally putting the finishing touches on a house remodel that was a promise to my late dad. It was a dream of his to fix it up for us kids to have when he checked out, but never got around to it as his cancer took him in a rapid fashion on Valentine's Day 2004. I made a promise to him that I would uphold his goal and I hope he sees what I've done and says great job (hopefully, not yelling that I didn't use the spanish tiles for the roofing since they're massively expensive to repair/replace)
5) The Friends Are Here--Without a great support system, I don't know how I would've mustered enough courage to go through watching my mom battle back from her serious illnesses. Along with the girlfriend, they're probably the best set of individuals that often times form up as Voltron of friends to lend me a hand.
6) 80 Degrees in November--Though the perception of LA is varied, the one thing that is constant is--the weather. I have not frozen to death this November because, well, it was 82 degrees yesterday. Yeah, it would be nice to have seasons and all that jazz, but when you can wear shorts and s t-shirt to work and not worry about your lower extremities, you've got it made.
7) Numero 15--Though sports should really make up a small part of a person's life, I think this year's championship victory and jaunt down Figueroa for the celebratory gathering at the Coliseum was a moment that will always be fresh in my memory. If that happens to disappear, at least I have the sunburned pictures to remind me.
8) Modern Warfare 2--Don't know if my credibility drops here, but this game has been able to bring a widespread family unit together. I have gotten in matches with cousins and uncles across the U.S. that hadn't happened in a while. There's something to bonding with your cousin in Milwaukee while calling in a AC130.
9) What You Know About That?-- Learning more and more about my Thai side of the family. This includes honing my culinary skills and branching out from the American-centric cooking I have been accustomed to. So, hopefully I'll be able to make some killer pad thai.
10) Life--Though this should probably be higher up in the list, I didn't want to come off any more Lifetime sounding than I already have. However, it is something to be said that we're able to post this and not worry about being censored like so many do in Communist China. The ability to squabble and tease about our favorite sports team is just part of a bigger system in which we get to explore and do many things.
- My family and loved ones
- Good health for the people I care about and myself
- Happiness
- The ability to live the lifestyle that I do
- NBA basketball / Lakers
- Boobs
And even though it may not be one of the most important things in my life, I'm thankful for the freedom allowed on this website and for the hospitality Kori shows to all of us non-Spur fans.
P.S. 15 rings es
That's itshe's gorgeous even without make-up
Run
Run and hide.
I am thankful for
1. Not getting sucked into a relationship with a crazy 10 yr female friend of mine who got pregnant by another guy, married him and cut me off all in the span of 12 weeks.
2. Surviving this freaking horrible economy
3. Selling my company and taking a new job next year.
4. Rockets not sucking this year
5. Great friends who I can depend on
6. Bringing my company into profitability
7. Paying off my taxes
8. Did I mention surviving this freaking horrible economy?
9. Seeing the sun come up tomorrow and that there will be better days ahead.
10. God who watches over all of us.
1) My family: As I've gotten older, I have come to realize what matters most. We've had some trials and ups and downs the last few years, and they have been there for me when I've needed them the most.
2) My job. It doesn't pay the best, but I have one, I'm not required to wear a name tag, and I've actually learned and accrued job skills I didn't have when I walked through the door nearly 2 years ago. Also, I've been assured by my job that I have iron-clad job security.
3) My girlfriend. We've been dating for a little over a month, so things are still in the puppy dog stage. But she sure has made my life happier since she's been in it.
4) Having all basic necessities. I don't own a lot of luxury goods or whatever, but I don't lack for anything I need, and I'm not buried under a mountain of debt and unpaid bills.
5) Friends. Not much needs to be said. It's good to have people that care about you.
6) The Mavericks. I got into sports from watching the Mavs go all the way to the WCF in 1988, and it's always offered me a pleasant diversion and escapist fare from real-life crap
7) Chocolate Angel Food Cake from Central Market. That is good. I can eat an entire cake in one sitting.
8) The 80 hours of vacation time I pick up on January 1st and the trip to Seattle I'm planning with my girlfriend.
9) Having a Tuesday night pickup game for most of the last year. Even got to meet a few Spurstalk regulars that way.
10) The NBA forum on Spurstalk. Best bball messageboard on the net.
I believe he is speaking on the duration of how long he's known the friend; not the age of the girl in question...
I am thankful for
1. Being able to have a personal relationship with God and the blessings in my life, all of which stem from him.
2. My beautiful wife. She has been the biggest blessing to me in so many ways.
3. My beautiful son/daughter to be, he/she is due in March and is our first child. I can't wait to be a daddy and to help raise them into a world changer
4. My extended family. I love my small family and my extended family (yes even my in laws!!). I also have a beautiful adopted niece from Africa. She was found in a dried up river bed at night by a drunk guy, then was taken to the care centre. My sister arrived to work at the care centre on the same day my niece arrived there. Needless to say, her life is another miracle and i feel honoured to be be able to have a big impact in her life.
5. The simple things such as a roof over my head and food on my table. Also being able to get a good education and good healthcare. So many people around the world go without, and we have no right to complain.
6. The heart that God has given me for Africa and those in need. I was born to make a difference and that is what i intend to do!
7. A great Church that serves our surrounding community and makes a difference in our city.
8. Great friends who will be lifelong buddies!
9.All the future blessings that will happen and i am thankful for the tough times we also face, because that is what makes us stronger.
10. The Nuggets winning the 2009-2010 NBA Championship
You should change your name to Nuggets_LuvI am thankful for
