Thanksgiving 2005

I would like to take this opportunity to give thanks. I cannot say that I am religious, nor do I believe in a god. I do, though, believe that people mold, shape and influence each other's lives in ways that we do not understand and cannot fathom. Everyone in my life has had some sort of effect, some more profound than others. I would like to thank my grandfather, for providing me with the best male role that anyone could ask for. I would like to thank my parents for giving me life. My family for giving me a strong moral base, though I haven't always followed it. I would like to thank my friends for providing color, support, love, companionship, acceptance and criticism- for without these things I would be less of a man. I would like to thank my dog and my cat for the blind love and allegiance that they give me. I would like to thank my dog's breeder, for taking a chance on me.

Even though at times I can be quite an ass, prone to outbursts and a bad temper, always remember that I love all of you, and that once you are family-you will always be family.

Semper Fidelis
