And now for the Thanksgiving update with Brian Bass. On Wednesday I had an unexpected holiday(I didn't do any work at all). I went to my step-brothers house on Thursday for Thanksgiving. My nieces and nephew are growing up fast. They are still cute though. I then ate 2 Turkey legs and rolls. The one thing my mom knows how to cook is meat. I suppose that is why I like to cook meat. Anyways the turkey was very juicy and tasted good. I was never a fan of white meat though. Dark meat you don't have to put salt on to make it taste good, white meat requires salt. I then watched the Cowboys lose. It was a good game they just were unable to capitalize on Denver's mistakes. Then I jammed with my 8 year old nephew Dillon. He has been playing the drums since he was 2 and is really good. I can see that he will be in a band when he is older. It was a pretty relaxing Thanksgiving, nothing eventful or out of the ordinary. On Friday I went to a jam place in Irving and jammed with some musician friends. The Jam place charges $10 and you get to play on all of their equipment so you don't have to bring your own, except for a guitar. Other musicians sit in and jam with you as well. I heard some "that guitarist is good" comments. Saturday I went and saw the new Harry Potter movie. It was better than the last two. It needed just a little more editing but it was still pretty good. They didn't spend enough time on the ending comparative to the rest of the movie though. On Sunday I did the church/lunch/homeless/dinner thing with some people from my Sunday School. This time we got a donation of 300 double cheeseburgers from McDonalds. We even had another Sunday School class helping us. They were from the Singles II group. Singles II is the more desperate of the Sunday School classes. The age ranges from 30 to 40. If I wanted to get married quickly I would join such a class, but no way, I just wanna have fun. So I was setup as a bouncer to make sure people didn't cut in line, since we had about 10 girls doing the serving. We got rid of all of the burgers and the homeless were still coming. Luckily we had 600 cupcakes so at least they got something. It is weird in talking with some of the newbie's. It affects you when you first see humans living in such conditions. After a while you get used to it cause you see it all the time. But for the newbies they learn to be thankful for what they have. After a while you start to resent what you have, then you accept it as undeserved blessings and it strengthens your faith. There is a psychology to it all. Anyway, something funny, I saw the family guy last night and it was hilarious. After this Thanksgiving I think I will joining the NAAFP. The National Association for the Advancement of Fat People. The problem is, at the meetings, we keep breaking our chairs.
