Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope you guys are all having a good day but I know inevitably you aren’t all having a good time. I get it. Part of why I am having a good one is because I am sitting in my own house full of turkey and stuffing and just watching Football and playing video games. Or I will be when I am done typing. Sometimes that’s the best decision you can make but I am older than I once was and I know sometimes it’s not a choice you get. Some of you have no options and you are stuck with people you might rather not be with. I have been there and you have my deepest sympathy. It can be really hard and really miserable and it’s a crime that family, the thing that should bring you comfort and respite from a world that is all too cruel sometimes provides the exact opposite from someone of this. Just remember if you were strong enough to live to this point you are strong enough to handle this as well. This too shall pass. As always, I will pass along my best advice possible, which is that in your very hand you hold the depth and breadth of human knowledge and art. Get your earbuds or headphones and go on a walk. You can usually get away with a walk to buy yourself some much needed time away from the chaos and I believe rock and roll can save us all. It has for me before. Today I listened to most of the Monk’s Black Monk Time and from there went to Chvches new EP because it was recorded at a famous German studio so going from a protopunk album by a German Garage Rock band to then Hansa Session seemed obvious in my brain. I probably didn’t even need to explain that. From there I listened to some Wham! for the obvious reason that they too are English. Obvious. Anyway, I chose upbeat stuff today because it keeps me walking faster and it’s fun to sorta dance walk, catch yourself, be glad no one you know could have seen you, then continue on. My basic point is I did this today just for fun but there have been times it was my life line. Use it if you need to and know that you are not alone. There are lots of us who understand out there. You’ll get through this weekend and one day you won’t even need to deal with it. I have a lot to be thankful for this year and my life is doing pretty well at the moment, so thank you for those of you who are a part of said life, you mean the world to me. I am posting Lauren Mayberry because she’s frankly the best looking one of the people I listened to today. I know George Michael is going to have his supporters and I still remember Stephanie’s poster of his butt on her bedroom wall but he was never my type. Today I want to fuck Lauren Mayberry
