My friend Kyle, founder of Jam Magazine, showed up at my bar job last night with this autographed picture. It looks like Jill Ann Spaulding, Playboy model, was on valium when she signed it. She did spell "Gooch" right, however. Thanks Kyle... you're the best!

What I'm Thankful For
By: John Gallucci, age: 30
Date: 11/26/04

I'm thankful for Viagra enhanced sex...
...but not for the Viagra enhanced hangover.

I'm thankful for my part time bouncing gig at the local pub...
...and for girls who dig bouncers (for some reason).

I'm thankful for my Sirius satellite radio system...
...and for not having to listen to the shitty fucking DJs the Portland market yakked up.

I'm thankful for Lindsay Lohan...

...and hand lotion.

I'm thankful for Jack Daniels...
...and Diet Coke.

I'm thankful for my friend's hot tub room...
...and for girls without bathing suits.

I'm thankful for the battery backup that saved this blog from getting lost.

I'm thankful for all of my ex-girlfriends who have somehow managed to still hang out with me.

I'm thankful for my Nextel phone...
...and the friends to whom it connects me.

I'm thankful for all of my clients at my job...
...and the fact that they don't know this site exists.

I'm thankful for Chang's Mongolian Grill...
...only because I'm about to eat there in half-an-hour.

I'm thankful for bartenders that don't cut me off...
...but not for the goddamned hangovers.

I'm thankful for my futon...
...actually, I hate that fucking thing.

[to be continued]...

I'm thankful for ellipses...

13-Year Old Charged With Abducting Exotic Dancer

That's pretty diabolical for a thirteen-year-old. Get this kid a fucking Playstation 2.

Word. Working at Skyland Wednesday night, Thanksgiving Eve, and Friday and Saturday as well.

Huge shoutout to my friend Marty, who celebrates his xxth birthday today.
