i don't hate americans. i really, really don't. in fact, i enjoy some of their company. i've had quite a bit of fun with some females during our american tour, and don't get me wrong, while the female gender is exotically merchant to my needs -- the males have also proven to be a fancy. but you know what i hate? american holidays. no this is not because i am on a power trip where i believe that australian holidays are better, but because some of the american holidays justify for some pretty great things. you get lots of days off from school, there are more presents involved, and sometimes you get to just stuff your face with food. which leads me to my coming rant about the following holiday american's get to experience: thanksgiving.
1. eat as much food as possible. the reason i say this is because i myself enjoy food to the greatest of all things, and would be pleased to hear grant that you stuffed your plate to the rim and devoured whatever was on there and though of me all the while. you should not let such a free holiday go to waste with petty diets, but instead embellish in the richness of free food. my favourite as of now is pumpkin pie and also anita enjoys mashed potatoes. i think the mere suggestion that she would adore you for doing it is enough to motivate you all.
2. don't be a bitch. spend time with your family. the one thing that i regret when i'm on the road is that i don't get to be with my mum half the time that i would be able to even if i had a normal lifestyle. she's dear to my heart, and also my daughter of course, the both of them remain without me when i have to be on the road and its tough shite when i miss them. i can't do anything about it. but if you're able to go home for the holidays, then do it. don't let some man and/or woman seduce you to comfort instead of heading to the lovely adobe of home. flick them the birdy and tell them up yours, because your mum has got some hot chocolate waiting for you.
3. help cook said food. pick up some pointers. i tried this once at a family dinner with one of my mum's exhusbands and i learned how to make the meanest macaroni and cheese on the planet. now jules and alfie know that when they are craving for some cheese not directly from a can or powdered substance, they can just holler toward the talest boy in soundwave and ask for a pick me up. griffin's way is the only way to go with macaroni and queso.
4. do the shopping the next day. i have never heard of anythign cheaper than the day after thanksgiving. you have discounts that make your mother cry. although it may be a bitch to get up so early in the morning, when you're at home celebrating i imagine that its a good feeling. you've got all your knicks and knacks and you don't have to worry about getting someone's present late anymore because you've got it right there. its all available. ALSO BUY ME THINGS. BUY ME EVERYTHING. BUY OUR CDS. BUY AN IPOD TO PUT OUR MUSIC INTO. BUY ANITA TOYS. BUY JULES SO COOL HEADPHONES. GET ALFIE AN ELECTRONIC DOG!!
5. ALSO DID I MENTION, EAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE?
and that would be all for today, although you must all know the good news that has put me in such a high spirit. anita is officially, anita julianne griffin and no longer going by the surname of her mother. she has finally lost the battle and i could not be happier in my life than i am now. i have two of the best bandmates in the world, and in the most amazing band because of them and its like feeling boundless, free of borders, and on top of the world.
