What Thanksgiving Means To Me.

I remember one Thanksgiving when I had to go to the emergency room after I had a little reaction to some stuff I had taken. They had Christmas music playing and all my friends were there, most of them trying to keep warm from the outside weather. My son even came down to pick me up. Apparently I had gotten sick from the mixing of some of my medicine with some chinese food I had acquired. This led to the doctors having to operate on me.
The next day they released me and stuck me with a ten thousand dollar bill. I was shocked. So, I asked my friend Jello to go with me, maybe buy me a couple of drinks. Because I was sad, and I didn’t have any money for some crack.
So, we go to this bar, And there are all these men in there dancing and talking. Then one of the men walks up to me and tries to conversate with me. It was at that moment that I knew we were in a gay bar. So, me and Jello leave. What we didn’t know is that a friend of my woman sees us going into there. And she goes back and tells my lady.
Now my lady thinks I’m gay. I tell her I’m not gay. It was just a mistake and me and Jello didn’t know that it was a gay bar. But my woman thinks me and Jello have a thing going on the side. Of course this is far from the truth. I could never mess with Jello. Or any other man for that fact. Sure, I’ve sucked some dick for some crack. But that’s different.
So, any way, I spend the entire night trying to convince her. And I’m tired, because the other day I had just had surgery. So, I leave. Now I’m out on the street. And all of a sudden a police car comes blowing up beside me. They say, Get down on the ground, nigga! So, I get on the ground. They say, You lool like this man we know. I tell the officers that I couldn’t be this person because I was just in a gay bar and had surgery the other day. They pick me up off the ground and tell me to stay out of trouble. So, I walk away.
I meet this other lady I’m fooling with. We go get some medicine. And she’s looking at me funny. I guess I would be too, looking at me funny, that is. Because I was happy and smiling. I was in a cheerful mood. See, a couple of days earlier, I had come into some money. And I knew I planned to celebrate with it. So, I had some money on me. And I knew what I was going to do with it.
Only thing is, while I was taking my other lady to the spot so we could celebrate, I witnessed some shady things going down. I saw two young cats breaking in this big time cats house. They were pulling out tvs and vcrs and jewelry. I asked if I could get a tv. And since it was the beginning of the holiday spirit, they gave me a 30 inch color television.
First, I think I could get some crack for this tv. But then I changed my mind, because I needed a place to sleep, and this tv was my ticket to getting it. So, I went back to my first lady’s house with the television, and some crack. And she let me back in. We watched Hawaii 5-0 and the Jefferson. We drank a little Crown Royal mixed with Coke, the beverage not the crack rock. Then we watched some more television. And we smoked some weed. Then we smoked some crack. And then we made love, all as the snow came down outside.
So I guess that’s what Thanksgiving means to me, being with family, the ones you love, and some special friends with food to eat, and some other stuff.
Happy Thanksgiving!
