Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everybody’s bellies are as full as mine and you got your fill of wonderful football brutality.

In the upcoming week to Thanksgiving, I talked to many of my friends and family about my excitement for the wonderful celebration of gluttony and pigskin that occurs on this most joyous day of the year. Yet it seems that many people have lost the understanding as to why we celebrate this most sacred day in this young country of ours. People have simply strayed away from the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving is a time for friends and family to come together as one, not coworkers, or politicians, or Wal-mart employees. We come together to celebrate one thing: Man’s dominance over turkey.

Turkeys have long been known as nature’s most retarded meat. They’re like the chickens weird cousins. The kind you only want to see once a year or when you’re really in a fix (ie turkey sandwich). Turkey is not a common meat someone eats all the time. Why? Because they require a delicate balance of other ingredients to make it a sustainable meal: mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie, and football. Have you ever had turkey without these ingredients? Have you eaten a turkey sandwich and thought to yourself, “Wow, that was so good, I need to go watch the Cowboys game with a 6-pack of Shiner and pass out sometime in the middle of the 3rd quarter so I can imagine them having a winning season.” No, you haven’t. Ever. Except for Thanksgiving.

If turkey was a nutritional source of energy, it would obviously be available in fast food form. There are no Kentucky Fried Turkeys. There are no McTurkeys. There are no Turkey Bells. Thus, turkey is obviously not meant for American consumption as it is not apart of a well thought out, balanced, health conscious, fast-food diet. However, such hippies as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson pushed equality on everyone, not only humans, but animals alike. Franklin used to barge into town halls with his long flowing hair and stained Grateful Dead t-shirt, and proclaim how the turkey was a majestic and wonderful bird. Even more so than the American bald eagle, which as we all now, is just not true. But eventually, people gave into eating turkey once a year to get him and his drum circle buddies to keep quiet. True blooded americans were so pissed with the idea of having to give in to hippie ways, they would grab a pig and tackle each other over it, to wash away the hippie impurity. Thus, the invention of football. The ladies follow in tradition by doing what all women do best, extraneous shopping.

I hope this is an eye-opener for everyone. Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

I recently put together another metal which everyone should bump. Miley Cyrus contacted me, personally, (not really) and told me to spice up her Party In The U.S.A. Here is the product:

Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it.

PEACE

Well, I got a few things recorded for a summer band but I still got a lot to do. Between school work and spending hours on the FIFA website, I got an intro to the album done. Here’s a preview for the folks back home:
