For all of our American friends, happy Thanksgiving!
Today is one of the days that we reflect on all that we have and remember that we should be thankful for everything our life has been gracious enough to give us. Each and every one of us is truly lucky, even if we sometimes don't really realize it, and this day is set up to remind us of that. Thanksgiving is also a day of reconnecting with family and friends, or making the best of things when you cannot get together with your family by being here with this family, us, the Furious Angels.
Remember, even if it may seem like you have nothing to be thankful for, remember that you have many things that others all around the world do not have: a network of closely-knit friends who deeply care for each other, two or three meals a day, running water, a safe environment, a disease-resistant body, and every freedom that you could possibly dream of.
Most people in the world don't have water that they can magically get from a faucet, or food that is nutritious enough to sustain a body, or medicine to combat many diseases and sicknesses that seem trivial to us. I never meant this to be a sop story, but, honestly, each and every one of us is lucky, even if we don't realize it.
Be sure to take a minute today to ponder everything in your life that you've been blessed with. Each and every one of us is truly lucky, even if we don't realize it.
Now, go eat as much as you possibly can; I expect to see at least 5 people drunk in Teamspeak tonight! w0000t.

Ok, I limit myself to one smartass comment on this day, and I figured you guys would be a more receptive audience than my family. :)
Hope everyone has a good one.

Geesh, that's harsh

I'm sure the Native American's thought that whole process was pretty harsh too.
