Happy Thanksgiving!
(Photo: ©2005 Debbie Van Story) Happy Thanksgiving! Today we spend our family dinner celebration over at my Dad and Stepmother's house with our extended family, including Johnny who appeared on CFR last week. As I said on SRL yesterday, I plan to go to town with the food. No turkey! I eat all that protein based crap daily anyway. I'm talking about stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy and pie! That's about it. All carbs and sugar today. As for giving thanks, I have a lot to be grateful for. My wife, my health, a new record, my family, my friends, one month shy of 4 years off the drugs... And of course, you guys! Thank you all for making this digital place such a special part of my life.
After, we do our family's thing, Carmen and I like to do our own, "Friends of the Friendless" party up at our place. We have these two lesbian friends who are incredible cooks and they will be here cooking up a storm while Carm and I are over at Dad's. We then have our friends who have no plans today, come over and eat until they cannot move. I will be among those who cannot move. We then throw in some classic terrible movies like Glitter, Showgirls or A Night in Heaven and fade into a sugar and carbohydrate induced coma. All of our skins kind of melt off and fuse together to create some kind of massive single breathing organism that takes up the entire living room. You could even call it a science experiment.
Later in the evening I plan to fire up SRL. I am thinking around 8:00pm or 9:00pm. I will of course post to confirm.

I must've posted my comment JUST as this new post was going up, cuz it got lost in cyberspace. Argh!
Let me try to remember... I wanted to wish everyone a very HAPPY THANGSGIVING. You guys are awesome.
And I wanted to thank you, Dave, for sharing your many talents with us and letting us into your world. You presence truly makes the world a more colorful and beautiful and fascinating place, and makes me grateful to be alive in 2005.
Enjoy your carbs, your friends/family, your bad movies, etc. (You sould like my kind of people! lol. I guess that's why I'm here in the first place...)
I won't be online much this weekend, as we have lots of activity at the old homestead, so I hope you guys all have fun hosting and listening to CFR and SRL.
All the best!
Love,

Sounds like our day here! I never end up going anywhere because I feed all the strays after "turkey bowl"in the park. ( MY COWBOYS better whoop some ass dammit)! All in all, everybody has their own special traditions and good times and that's all that matters... Be safe and thankful all!

Fuck yeah! Just another thing to be thankful for. SRL on Thanksgiving. We are blessed! Dave I hope you and Carmen have a great day. Sounds like you will, and Happy Turkey Day to all of you in 6767.com land which has become such a fun part of my day that it too makes the list as something to be thankful for. Gotta run and get the Turkey in the Deep Fryer so I can then settle in and watch my Cowboys...
Junebug, I agree the Boys better "whoop some ass" !!!

Happy Thanksgiving all. Lots to be thankful for on this end of the fiber too. My part of the dinner just came out of the over - garbage bread pudding -anything sweet or chocolate goes in. I'll be back for SRL.

To all the Dave, Carm and the 6767 Fam:
Love. Everyone thinks I’m kidding when I say I love you. But I do. I can’t help myself. You are beautiful, you are my hero. I truly do love you. I’m talking about from the very bottom of my heart “I love you�. We need to be nicer to each other, we need to talk to each other more. We need to feel like its okay to ask each other for support every now and again. Because we are friends. We really need to know everyone we exist with in this beautiful community and be there for each other. Sending positive vibes to each and every one of you

Dave, Carmen, and the whole familia:
My life is blessed all the more by having each one of you in it. I am thankful for the friends I've made here and enjoy being a part of this family. May God bless each one of you in a special way today.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Dave, Carmen, your family, and every USA born and bred 6767 family member.
As all my family is overseas and it's just my sister and me here, we went hiking this morning and we're going to visit a friend in Venice Beach whose family is on the other side in New York City.
No meat for us though, we're all vegetarians. It's all about a big salad with candied walnuts, beans, cranberries, etc etc. Maybe some pasta as well. Can't forget the wine!
Off I go to wash the dye out of my hair.
(as if anyone wanted to know that!)
-Peace-

UK tv sucks! I just sat through an hour and a half of the AMAs and they cut Dave & Carmen!!! There was no Cyndi Lauper either!
Someone explain it to me - they cut Dave & Carmen but they SHOW Lindsey Lohan????
I suffered Lil Bow Wow and Lindsey Lohan for nothing??????!!!!????
I'm just going to go off into a corner now and cry ...... *sniff*

Yes "God BLess us , everyone."-Tiny Tim, A Christmas Carol. Oh ya I stopped believing in God, so nevermind. Habit I guess.
This is how it went... Ashley Simpson, her father and her weirdo sister, after taking as many lyrics as they could, and handing them out/selling them for what they could get, crept into my house and completely fucked up my life. I was sleeping and Joe Simpson and Some ass named Ryan et themselves into my house, I am guessing they found the hidden key my dumbass father left outside. I woke up just in time to have a fucking syringe of bleach shoved into my chest, causeing me to convulse and almost fucking die. Someone came in after they were gone, I don't know who.
All I want to know is why the fuck someone tried to kill me??? I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO ANYONE. Sometime after that I remember waking up all groggy and fuzzy and completely doped up to people in my room, and some guy making me try and sign something saying I wouldn't sue him. I don't do drugs.I don't go around hurting people and I have no clue as to why they would do this.
I lost my memory for a long time, and I had a fucking nervous breakdown because of all this shit. To this day I still have chest pains. I flunked out of University because I couldn't remember shit even when I studied. All this happens and they get rich off of song lyrics I wrote and preying on innocent people?!! Thanks for fucking wrecking my entire life!!!!
Do you think it has been easy to hear all of my words, my poetry comming out in hit singles??!! I completely got fucked over by them and for what?? The fact that a 14 year old Ashley Simpson was fucking Dave Grohl and who knows else??Dude I don't care who Dave Grohl or Dave Navarro fucks, for real.
Considering I wrote are you happy now?, and almost all of 'Xtinas' last cd, I know you were involved, you might be sober you you have never made amends.
I just want you to know I don't forgive any of you. I just hope there is someone out there that will believe me that Joe Simpson needs to be beat down like the bitch he is.

That post sounds like you'll either have a great thamksgiving, and/or have started writing scripts for japanese cartoons!
It's all good either way, and thanks for making the 6767 environment interesting!

Hey to Dave and the whole 6767 family!
This is such an awesome community we have online here, so I'd personally like to thank everyone here for making this whole thing such a wonderful experience. I wish everyone here a happy thanksgiving and hope it was wonderful for each of you. And much thanks of course to Dave for...well, where to begin? The community, the inspiration, the occasional words of wisdom and humour, and for just being an amazing human being.
So cheers to all of you!
Gobble gobble, happy thanksgiving! :)
Peace!

Hmmm, a spike of bleach in the chest? The only thing positive about that is that it reduces the chance of Hep or HIV...theres something to give thanks for today.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Dave-its good to see the gratefulness. A lot of people here are grateful for this site, and I am one. I like reading the quirky posts.
I found out today my bro got serius for me, so Ill be able to make the move to satellite. Ahh Christmas is around the corner, Im hoping Ill be able to come up with the money for an amp modeler. I bought one a month ago but had to return it for financial reasons. It snowed in CT today.
Forever grateful,
Boot n down
Anyone catch a nice triptophan nod today after their dinner? Not a bad thing, you still got your cash, dignity, and not a single burn hole in your thanksgiving bests!

oh ya Iwrote the fucking lyrics to Green Days, GD presents American idiot, and Bad Religions, the Empire strikes back, so whatever fuck you.
