Well, I’m definitely not thankful for my knack for coming up with the dumbest blog entry titles ever. And for that, I apologize. This blog entry isn’t for apologies, though. This blog entry is reserved for the things I am thankful for. I know we don’t really do Thanksgiving here in the Philippines, but I’m a citizen of the Internet and we do whatever the hell we want on the Internet. If you’re not down with that, I have 3 words for you:

As the animated gif suggests, I am a big fan of Conan O’Brien, so that’s why I’m thankful for Coco being back on TV. I’ve discussed my feelings and thoughts about his triumphant return to the small screen, so let’s move on.

I am thankful for a family that is understanding and patient. I am thankful that we are safe and relatively normal. We are far from perfect, but I’m pretty sure we are living a decent and sane life.

I am thankful for friends, though few and most are far away. I may not see them often, but they’re always there to bring me out of a rut or to rescue me from my days of depression. Usually, they do it at the last possible moment. Way to go, friends.

I am thankful for The Walking Dead. I have never been so excited to watch a weekly TV series since 24 and Lost. Although the first season is only 6 episodes long, I’m glad the 2nd season is already in the bag. Zombies will stay on the air for the foreseeable future. Yay!

BAM! YAY!

I am thankful for beer and pizza. For wine, women and song. For the beautiful ladies that walk the earth like Kate Beckinsale, Sam Pinto, Bianca Manalo, Kim Smith, Camilla Belle, Laura Ramsey and Taylor Swift. For everything that is delightful in the world.

Love the new ‘do, baby girl.

I am thankful for Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr, which is the source of all the images I used in this blog entry. Hell, I’m thankful for the entire Internet and every single thing you will find in there, even the things in its darkest recesses.

I am thankful for the Filipino’s unbreakable spirit. I am thankful for our land, our heritage, our entertaining political landscape and our weird, weird ways. I am thankful that we care enough for our country that even a proposal for a new tourism campaign inspired us to bring out our torches and pitchforks. It all started with good intentions, but apparently, that’s not good enough for us Filipinos.

What a train wreck, amirite?!

I am thankful that I am still alive even after all my alcohol-based shenanigans. I’m adamant that my reckless days are over. I am thankful that I have so much confidence in myself.

Finally, I am thankful for comics. No, not graphic novels. Not insightful and sometimes pretentious black and white indie stuff. COMICS. Comics with drama, violence, comedy, T&A, heroics and villainy. It is my main source of entertainment and escape. I can romanticize comics some more but I believe you have better things to do right now. As for me, I’m going to read some comics. Thank you for reading.
