I think that what I am most grateful for during this time of forced and artificial thanksgiving is myself: Horseface Steve. I'm grateful for all of the things that have been given to me, especially material blessings. For, as we all know, the path to true happiness passes down the electronics aisle at your local bankrupt retailer, skirts the Auto Mall, and ends at a big house in a nice suburb with good schools and attractive streetscaping. If you don't have all of these things, or at least a clear path to purchase or steal them, you are in a world of hurt.
I'm also grateful for those members of my family and friends that can do things for me: Horseface Steve. I'm not quite as grateful for people that don't make my material world more comfortable, and everyone else pisses me off. I'm not going to touch the topic of doing something for someone else with a ten foot pole. That's right off the table.
Finally, I'm grateful that I have been able to live a successful and gratifying life with no need to connect to a God, Higher Power, or Great Spirit of the Universe. Praying and meditating are joy-killers and unproductive. Spiritual principals take the focus off of me: Horseface Steve; and are consequently not worth my time.
On to Christmas.
