Another Turkey day has come and gone. To some people Thanksgiving is about eating, and to some its about the football. Then again to some its about being with family, to me its about all of that but more than anything its about giving thanks to those things and people who give me things to be thankful for. First and foremost I am extremely thankful for my family. It wasn't too long ago I couldn't stand them, everything they did annoyed me. Not because they did anything wrong, but because I wasn't ready to accept them for their greatness. My sister Tiffany is a wonderful woman and brings a smile to everyone she sees, especially that Biyotch Bredek..................for the record, those are some crazy biyotches!!!! My little baby brother Brian isn't so little anymore, full grown and living in Hawaii. Making a stand and getting away from Volcano to find out who he is, for that I respect him and love him. My parents are pretty typical, Dad and mom argue with the best of them. However, they love each other and at the end of the night you can always tell how they care for each other (by the way she puts a blanket on his snoring ass and turns the TV off). I have a great family and I love them to death, so for them I am thankful.
I am extremely thankful for my friends, I know this is going to be hard because I am going to forget someone so in advance I apologize if its you. My homie Mike who might as well be my twin brother the way we think alike and have the same sick sense of humor. The similarities we have had in our lives are downright sickening at times and I know if I ever needed anything he would be there for me as I would for him. My buddy Steve is so much like me its sick, we have a lot of the same views and ideas about life. We used to fight and bicker but we used it to strengthen our brotherhood. I love my cousin Katie like a sister, I would do anything for her and will always be here for her, as I know she would for me. My main man Lydell who I have known for almost 9 years is a great friend, it started along time ago when he used to tell our boss at target he couldn't go get carts from outside in Dec because he was African and they were a tropical people............(I literally cried from laughing when he said that). He has moved all over the place in the last 8 years or so and we have remained friends throughout and I am thankful for the bond we have created. My man Kev Vegas, when I met him what a square, but I rounded the edges and he toned me down some and now look at us. We have been through so much it would put most people to sleep, but I love him and will always be the riley to his huey!!!! I have so many memories and thoughts to be thankful for from so many friends like Ben "real deal" Bruneel, gone are the days of the Stockton slo pitch league but I will remember them forever. Along with the great times at Stan St. with good ol Jim Prohs, Ben is a true friend. My buddy Nate who came to stay on the couch for a couple weeks like 4 years ago, still haven't got rid of him. He has his quirks and makes his share of mistakes but don't we all, and when it comes down to it. He is a great friend, one that I would like to give a noogie until he made better decisions but a good friend!!!!!
I have a ton more friends like Rob, and Tony, and Jeffe Smith who I have been friends with for a long time and am thankful for the impact they have had on my life. Not to mention the special girls in my life like Annie, Lindsay, Carrie, Nikki who in their own way make me a better person. I love you all and cherish what you have all brought to my life, and in this holiday season I am thankful for our relationships.

Terrell Owens.................i know what you are thinking.........Jerk, Pompus Ass, Selfish, Worst teammate of all time, and guess what you are right. This is hard for me because I was one of the biggest T.O. fans and constantly defended him. I specifically remember defending him when my friends Rob and Steve would tell me he was a joke. I liked Terrible since he was a rookie and i watched him smash the Carolina Panthers circa Kerry Collins era. I liked the Spike on the star, and i loved the cheerleader dance, and was a huge fan of the Sharpie incident. My reasoning you ask? because when he was on the field he brought it. No question, this man just brought it hard and solid everytime. I loved him catching an 8 yard slant and gaining 30 yards running across the field and stiff arming some of the best defenders in the league like they were pushing away Timmay or Jimmy. For the most part none of his antics ever cost the team, and when he did, he kinda had a point. He got irritated with Jeff Garcia because he didnt get the ball, but he was a top notch receiver and i think that a lot of times Coach Steve Mariucci purposely called plays away from owens. Many 49er fans saw the same things i saw, and when the 49ers starting losing because of it, then T.O. started to lash out.
This is when it became hard to defend him, because his antics started to have an effect on the team. It wasnt long after that T.O. was moved to Balitimore (we thought) and then on to Philly. The eagles and their fans loved T.O. They cheered him, I cheered him, he was my favorite player. He dominated and was explosive, he looked like two T.O.'s. But then it happened again and worse, he started attacking people and organizations and everyone got fed up again. I do feel conflicted because he was my favorite player for a long time but it is time to let go. I officially declare Terrible Terrell Owens is a bad teammate and a headcase. But next year when he is on a different team scoring touchdowns and acting like he is truly happy this time, and i jump back on the bandwagon, dont hate me, just try to understand
