So, how was everyone’s (and by everyone, I mean all the ‘mericans out there) Thanksgiving
holiday? Enough “family together time” for you? I had about twelve hours too much. It’s not that I don’t like my family. Or even love them. It’s just that the whole “so, Rifleman (actually, my mom calls me by my given name) when are you going to settle down with a nice girl in a nice house with a nice lawn and a nice car and a nice job and nice kids?” has started to get pretty fucking old. As it has for the last eight or so years.
And everytime I see my mother, it’s the same thing. I think she wants to be Jewish. But she’s not. She’s Catholic. And she knows how to use the ol’ Catholic guilt to her advantage. Her latest thing is “you’ll be thirty years old next month, you don’t want to die alone”. Which is true. I will be thirty years old next month. More on that later.
And, yeah, I don’t really want to die alone, but the thing is, I’m not planning on dying anytime soon. And if I do, I do. I won’t know afterwards, eh?
Sometimes, I wonder if she still thinks for some reason I’m still a virgin and is just afraid that I’m going to be some pathetic thirty-year-old virgin. Well, Mom, for the record, I’m not. By a long shot. And haven’t been for over a decade. And, granted, it’s been a while since I’ve talked to the canoe driver or made the beast with two backs, but it’s still been less than a year. And that doesn’t seem all that pathetic. Or maybe it is. Of course, I’ve kind of given up for a bit.
But I’m ready to get back into the game. And so I shall.
As for Thanksgiving, I think it should be replaced by a holiday called “Wanksgiving”. Use your imagination. After all, I’ve been using my imagination with all the wanks I’ve been giving. Myself.
As for my thirtieth…
I’ve decided that this will be the last year I celebrate my birthday. Until next year. And as for a celebration, I’m really hoping that everyone who’s promised to help me ring in my third depressing decade will actually do it. December 17th. (Two days after my real birthday). Somewhere in Dallas or Fort Worth. Details to be determined.
And I promise to start writing blogs that actually make sense and are actually funny.
As soon as I get laid.
Oh, and yesterday’s Lame Ass Joke posting by ‘Shank was SSW’s 400 post. Yay!
