Thank U

Thanksgiving. Now we're supposed to think about why we are grateful. And then devour a giant turkey and tons of pumpkin pie. I'm grateful for having you, my family and friends, new and old, who cares about me. I'm grateful for the opportunity to pursuit happiness, to get an education, to travel the world. I'm grateful for the result of the genetic roulette, so that I was born with 46 chromosomes and turned out healthy (physically at least :-P).

When thinking, there is usually one factor involved: Alanis Morissette. So I made a tribute to her by adding my own lyrics to one of her songs, and as always, it's basically random thoughts put together and maybe you can find some sense in the white space between the lines...

Thank U

How bout getting off of these perfectionistics
How bout stopping drinking when I'm fed up
How bout them ignorant by flashing blackouts
How bout that ever yes-saying mantra

Thank you fairy tale
Thank you day-dream
Thank you disgrace, embarrassment
Thank you irony
Thank you criticism
Thank you thank you science.

How bout me not begging you for approval
How bout me enjoying the freedom for once
How bout how good it feels to fuck without caring
How bout bleeding it all out at one time

The moment I stopped worrying was
The moment I finally saw things clearly
The moment I quit searching it was
The moment when I found peace

How bout no longer being hid in shadows
How bout remembering my integrity
How bout stopping the quest in search for Prince Charming
How bout not equating love with hurting

Thank you fairy tale
Thank you morning sun
Thank you disgrace, embarrassment
Thank you atheism
Thank you irony
Thank you thank you science...
