let's celebrate that awesome indian holiday! yeah! indians love us!

Hey, so I'm going to post things that I am grateful for. I'm aware that this has been done to death, and then I thought I could be clever and post things that I'm ungrateful for, but that would obviously be even more cliché, so I leave you with this.

- Drew Naymick - the only MSU basketball player to grace our front porch on Bailey. I'm pretty sure he's been at MSU since The Reagan Presidency, but he will always be the guy that is somehow more awkward than Goran Cruton. And he's not Paul Davis!

- Portland artists like Dolorean, The Thermals, Menomena, Richmond Fontaine, Sleater-Kinney etc. etc.

- Boobs

- Hair of the Dog Blue Dot IPA

- The crazed hobos that get on the Max at Skidmore Fountain

- Happy Hour

- The waitresses that will either hate or love you for staying 5 hours after happy hour

- Hipster chicks of Portland

- The emails from hcopp and funk at work

- The people of the United States that panned that new Beatles movie, and thus, restoring a small sliver of confidence I have in this country.

- The ultra liberal religious/political conversations after movie night with people with the name "Spider".

- Indoor Soccer

- Sweater Puppies
