Thanksgiving

This post really only applies to those in the US, but feel free to read it no matter where you are.

I've noticed that for most of my life, they've been advertising Christmas since right after Halloween, but recently, they've even started advertising before that. That's right, we're SKIPPING HOLIDAYS to get to one that, at least to most Americans, is THE HOLIDAY WHERE YOU GET STUFF. Sure, Christmas is the holiday of giving, but not to Americans. No, we (excluding those of us who don't celebrate it and those who celebrate it correctly) brag as children that "I got this and this and this and this and this REALLY EXPENSIVE thing!", not about "I gave such and such something they needed" or "I donated the money I was going to spend on gifts to a homeless shelter". While that's bad enough, we're skipping a holiday that, in my opinion, should be more important (than the holiday that most of us think of, not the religious one, for those who celebrate Christmas correctly. It's Jesus's chronologically incorrect birthday party, not the holiday you buy crap and get more from some fat dude in an ugly suit). We're skipping a holiday for GIVING THANKS for what we have. No, we go straight from GIVE ME CANDY! to GIVE ME TOYS! Now, we're even skipping the candy. No, that's crap. Even worse, people are celebrating Halloween the wrong day because "it's a pagan holiday", which is TRUE, but it's not the satanic one they claim it is...just because you celebrate it the day before and call it something else doesn't mean it's a different holiday. Sorry.

Okay, no more ranting. I apologize if I offended anyone. It was more to make people think before they make stupid decisions like skipping holidays or calling them something else. It's just that this part of the year pisses me off, especially when I'm not in the best of moods anyway...

Well, I'll add to this post so it doesn't end on THAT bad of a note. So, keeping with the theme of notes, here's a song with a few of those.

Black Eyed Peas - Missing You

I can't stand another night
Stand another night
Without you

Since you've been away
Everything don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
'Cause I'm missing your (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)

I'm missing your (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)

Yo. Yo. Yo.
Everyday-Everyday that you gone
I'm singing that sad song
If loving you is wrong
Then-Then I must be wrong
Even-Even when I'm gone (don't go away)
Our-Our love is strong (don't go away)
You the one I want (don't go away)
You're my nuh- You're my nuh- You're my number one
Yeah, our love ain't goin' out of fashion
I need your love, your passion
But love is everlasting, -lastin' (-lastin', lastin')
(-Lastin', -lastin', -lastin')

Since you've been away
Everything don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
'Cause I'm missing your (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)

I'm missing your (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)

When I'm out on the road (I'm missin' you)
Rockin' them shows (Missin' you)
Up in Monaco (I'm missin' you)
Making gold
When I'm AC plus (I'm missin' you)
And glamorous (Miss kissin' you)
But I miss your touch (I'm missin' you - oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, I miss your touch
I spend all my time (Missin' you)
With you in mind (Missin' you)
My mind's on you
'Cause all I am is missing you (I'm missin' you - missin' you)
(I'm missin' you)
(I'm missin' you)

Since you've been away
Everything don't seem like they used to be
Between you and me
'Cause I'm missing your (ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)

I'm missing your (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)
I'm missing your love (love-love-love)

Without you, girl I don't know what to do without you

Girl, I ain't never had nothin' like this
When I'm all sprung caught up like this
Maybe it's your face, girl
Maybe it's your lips
Maybe it's the way you shake them hips
Baby it's the way you do what you do
That got me all love struck on you
I'll be just like an umbrella
The way I'm all over you
I know the other voice be callin' you
But they just want a piece
I want all of you
Take my time just spoilin' you
'Cause I know I'm in love with you (with you - with you)

Please, baby, don't go
I'm needin' you now

I'm missin' you - Oh oh oh
I'm missin' you - Oh oh oh
I'm missin' you - Oh oh oh
I'm missin' you - Missin' you
I'm missin' you - I'm missin' you

Hey!
I miss your love, girl (love-love-love)
I miss - I miss your love
I miss your love, girl (love-love-love)
I miss - I miss your love

Hey!
I miss your love, girl (love-love-love)
I miss - I miss your love
I miss your love, girl (love-love-love)
I miss - I miss your love...love...love
