Thanksgiving Blogfest, Ninja Alex Style!
Today is Jeffrey at World of the Scribe’s Early Bird Thanksgiving Blogfest! Please visit his site for the full list of participants. And because Jeffrey is cool!
There are many things I am thankful for:
The hotness that is Kate Beckinsale. (Does that surprise you?)
The people who make quality movies and TV shows and place them on NetFlix and Hulu.
My awesome iPad!
The creators of Star Trek, without whom my Stardate NaNo updates on Twitter would not be possible.
My cool Ninja blogging abilities.
That the oboe is not standard hard rock music equipment. (Wouldn’t that be odd?)
The Supermutants of Fallout 3: New Vegas and the sniper rifle that takes them out!
And now some things for which I am truly grateful:
My awesome blogging buddies. (Who keep coming back for this nonsense!)
My wife and family.
My relationship with God.
My job. (The one that allows me to blog, write, and watch movies all day.)
A good sense of humor.
The gift of music.
And the creative spark that runs through me!
What are YOU grateful for?
Have an awesome Thanksgiving my USA friends!
My leaky roof...because it means I have a roof and it is raining!
ReplyDeleteGail, that is true!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are certainly thankful for a lot. I wanted to ask, where did you train for you awesome ninja blogging skills? I'd like to get me some of those.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful I have a job that allows me to write part-time at least. I'm an instructor, so basically, I get paid to stand in front of a bunch of folks and BS all day.
Family and friends like you...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I'm thankful that I have blogging buddies like you who don't take things for granted!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY THANKSGIVING Alex!! :)
Hi Alex, I am grateful for my wonderful parents, siblings and amazing friends. I am also thankful to God for all the lovely writing friends he has given me (including you). Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI think you've said it all Alex even about Kate Beckinsale.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day.
Yvonne.
The hotness that is Kate Beckinsale has visited my site today and left a picture for you.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for being Daniel Craig's No.1 Squeeze and for being Mrs. Denzil Washington.
ReplyDelete:-)
Take care

I'm thankful you steer us away from bad movies :)
ReplyDeleteHave a good holiday, Alex!

Alex- I grateful someone else did a short list. After Jeffrey's beautiful post I felt like a dork.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Alex and family!
OMG I'm playing New Vegas right now! Well, not RIGHT NOW, but I just started last night. I've loved all the Fallout games, and so far this one is no exception.
ReplyDeleteA lot of other stuff you said is cool, but I had to jump on that because it got me excited.
Happy Holidays Alex!
I'm thankful for family, friends, blogging buds, trees, books, and smiles.
ReplyDeleteI agree with many of the ones on your list. But the oboe? I've always had a quirky fondness for the sound of the oboe. Hmmm-maybe more groups should add one to their line-up.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Thanksgiving!

I'm grateful for yet another entertaining post from Alex J. Cavanaugh. Oh yeah, and that you didn't kill me with your ninja blogging skills. That I know of.

NotesAlongTheWay
Love your list- I'm grateful the oboe isn't a hard rock instrument either ;p Happy Thanksgiving!! I'm thankful I got my first draft done, and my hubsies gets to be home all day with us tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for my family. They're totally awesome and have supported me in my writing endeavor.
ReplyDeleteLove Both your lists! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so thankful for my family, friends (in both the physical & virtual worlds), my job and 'my' kids at school, my books and my weird & wacky brain :)
You know, I really wouldn't feel comfortable cutting into and eating any part of that turkey....it's just wrong!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for the hotness that is Kate Beckinsale, too. She distracts my husband while I'm appreciating the hotness that is Gerard Butler and/or (the bearded) Edward Norton! =P
I love that God loves me enough to put up with me and that He's given me family and friends (including the bloggie ones) who do the same.
Have a Great Thanksgiving and be safe!
Robin, I'll check it on tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteL'Aussie, did I miss you? I'm sorry!
Carol, I will!
Dempsey. now that sounds good! All of it. Although your definition of breakfast in bed may differ than mine...
Abby, good for you! And the oboe would just be too odd.
Words Crafter, that is only fair! Amen and have a great Thanksgiving!
I am grateful that my blogoversary on the 28th had culminated yesterday...and thanks to those awesome buddies who kept coming celebrating with me....I wish you could drop by too Alex, though I have absent in ur place for quite a time now... :-)
ReplyDeleteFirstly, the turkey photo is absolutely hilarious! :) Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for every single good thing that has happened in my life!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! Your iPad must give you your ninja blogging skills. I must get one!
ReplyDeleteThe oboe should be allowed to have its chance to shine. That and the bassoon. That instrument is rockin'.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
I've seen so many Thanksgiving posts this week, and they always charm me because it's amazing to step back and think about what you're truly grateful for - especially when you worry constantly about stuff that isn't going so well, like I do :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI'm still jealous about the iPad
Amity, you know I'm always happy to visit your blog!
ReplyDeleteNebular, that covers it! Damn, I could've made my post really short...
Reid, I highly recommend it!
Jamie, if In Flames starts using an oboe, I'm turning in my headbanger card.
Sangu, considering most of what we worry about never happens, then why worry?
Babygirl, ask Santa for one!
Hi I can't send you Kate Beckinsale but I can send you an award, it's on my latest blog.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
There's only one Kate ... and her last name starts with W >:D

4. Black metal
5. Freedom of speech
6. Our fire place (today it's damn cold)
7. Newton's 2nd law
8. High price on crude oil
