Thanks giving to who???

Have you noticed that I have been rather poetic lately? Yeah, me too....I don't know why....I guess I am beginning to really get in touch with my raw emotions... I love it when I do that!

Life has been mundane lately to say the least...things are operately smoothly on the outside as the usual inner workings of analytical me continue to function on the inside. I have a feeling that this is something like the calm before the storm...as I prepare to return to Iowa for two and a half weeks and make a decision that will ultimately effect my future in a profound way....it's more than one decision though...it's a series of decisions that work together to influence the way that my life will occur for, well, the rest of my life....
But I guess, sparing the drama here, that all decisions are such...I am giving more weight to this one though...

Thanksgiving has come and gone for yet another year. I took awhile today to reflect on what that means in my life....another year, another day gone by....and where am I now? Also, what the hell is the point of thanksgiving?? Does anyone really give thanks? And if so, to whom are they giving thanks? Is it being given to the right people?

I watched the parade for awhile and wondered: What's the point? What the hell is this supposed to symbolize but an extreme waste of money? Are we gaining anything socially significant from this parading around of cartoon characters??

Think about that and get back to me on it, will ya?
