I just was watching Leno on The Tonight Show, and he had a great point...Thanksgiving, the holiday designed for "giving thanks" for all we have, all we love, trust, cherish and need, is followed directly by the biggest shopping day of the year.

Hmm. So we're SO thankful for all that we have in our lives, that the very next day we go out and buy all new stuff? Screw the old stuff, we need NEW stuff, lets go, it's on sale!

Weird.

Namasté.

I'm A 2nd Uncle

Well, technically this is my 2nd COUSIN, but that sounds lame. I'm the 2nd Uncle. That's all there is to it. Her name is Kaidyn O'Keefe Dolezal. Cute isn't she?

Happy Turkey Day

Well, it's Thanksgiving again, so Happy Thanksgiving. I still find this holiday such a strange one for its historical roots. Holiday's celebrated with roots so very soaked in blood are interesting, but nevertheless, now is the time to be thankful.

So, here is an important, albeit short, list of what I am thankful for. I hope you all have an Amazing Thanksgiving time with your families/friends/loved ones. Thank YOU for sticking with my blog, even when I fail to update it regularly. Without further ado, Tyler Knott's Thankful Things:

My Family. You guys have always been there for me, through thick and thin, and Daddy-O, since you're stuck in Venezuela this year, we'll make up for your lack once you get home. Thanks guys for always trusting that things would work out for me.
Sarah Joelle. There's not enough room on this website to tell you how thankful I am for you. I don't know how it happened, or even why, but I'm so glad we wandered our way into each others lives. We've been together almost 16 months now, and I can't wait to see what the next 16 have in store for us. I Love You Sarah.
Health. At this current moment, I can honestly say, and I don't think I'm wrong, that every one close to me, every loved one or friend, is currently healthy and void of any bad diseases, conditions, or ailments. Even my friend Matt, who I haven't talked to for Far too long, is on the trail of recovery for his fight against cancer. Yay.
Life. Life, is a silly, unexplainable, confusing, frustrating, and intensely Perfect thing. Thank You Life, for constantly reminding me that I am alive, and just how amazing that fact really is.

There you go. 4 short, but awesome things I am thankful for. Everyone else should try, I think it's good to actually physically say/write/explain what you are thankful for this year, makes it all the more real. Have a great holiday!

HUH?

Ok, I just watched MTV True Life, that series of documentaries that they run, you know the drill...True Life: I'm In Love, True Life: I'm A Drug Addict, whatever. Today's was quite possibly the most disturbing that I've ever seen, and I'm probably going to piss a few people off explaining why...True Life: I'm A Professional Gamer. HUH!?

The hour long show followed "professional" video game players. These people get paid to travel, and enter "professional" video game TOURNAMENTS. Hahaha. I don't even know what to say. Who needs college, who needs a job, just go play games. The funniest thing to me, was when people were saying they had a long week of "training" coming up; training, meaning sitting on a couch, playing a video game, drinking Red Bull, and that's it.

Now, sorry if I've offended any "professional gamers" out there, but the craziest thing to me, was that there is an entire league of young women's gamers, that play this war game where you run around killing people, shooting them, and slitting their throats. These girls were normal looking teenage girls, and I don't know, maybe it's my bias, but it blows my mind...I guess I always pictured the "pro's" being skinny, pale kids with little 17-year-old facial hair, arms that look like toothpicks, and thumbs that look like the head of a hammer. At least all the guys in the show didn't let me down, and looked exactly that way.

Was TV Ever Good?

Hey, remember when TV used to be good? Cause I don't, and now I'm wondering if it was ever good at all. The only shows I will admit to liking, and watching frequently all live on 4 channels: Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Animal Planet, and the History Channel. Sometimes, SOMETIMES other shows will leak in on other networks, but for the most part, I live on those 4.

Flipping around today, I noticed that every show, on every channel, has been played before. Re-runs of re-runs are re-running right now, and it is getting old. When it Isn't a re-run, on the weeknights, shows like Desperate Housewives are more popular than Britney Spears' baby photos, and I don't get why. Every episode someone else dies, murders, has an affair, marries, runs over, overdoses, commits a felony, or SOMETHING. What street is this happening on, in What parallel universe? In my neighborhood, it's a scandal if someone paints their house a weird color, or puts a fence up higher than the neighborhood code; not murders their sister's former husbands lover's gardener.

So I guess what I'm asking is, was TV ever good, or has it always been this bad and I'm just now noticing? I think I'm just going to start reading a lot, lot more than I already do, and turning the TV off a heck of a lot more.

Safeway Shouldn't Be BUSY

Man, since when is Safeway as busy as Los Angeles during rush hour?? Seriously, what I once thought was an affliction that only plagued the blue and yellow halls of Wal-Mart and Salvation Army on 50% Off Friday has now sneakily found its way into the once quiet and, dare I say, hallowed halls of my beloved Safeway.

Since when has Saturday at 3:15 been "rush hour" in a grocery store? Since when has the Express Line had a not so Express line of 50 people, each with way more 9 Items Only? Since when have OTHER people figured out MY secret of renting a movie with your groceries, thus enabling you to skip the checkout line and check out at the video desk?! AHHHH.

Safeway, despite your cool upgrades, your wood floors and organic food section; your new deli signs and your mood lighting above the wine bottles, you are failing me. The last two times I was there, I was denied peppered turkey because your employee was too lazy to walk to the back, and today, I was denied chicken breasts and jo-jo's because you were "OUT!" How can this be?

Get your stuff together Safeway, my patience is wearing thin and Albertsons is just a tiny tiny drive further. Plus, they rock the 10 for $10 at an attractive frequency. You have my allegiance for now, but stop testing me.

Eh.

It's come to my attention recently, that I do not blog enough. True? Yes. Why? That is a different story. Why don't I post as much...hmm...well for starters, my life is boring lately. Very Very boring.

I've been house-sitting for the last little while and as such, it's been me and my dog Gertie holding down the fort. When I say it's just been the two of us, I literally mean JUST the two of us. I'm in Helena right now, I get up, I work, I work out, I work more, I play some music, I listen to some music, I work a bit more, then I sleep. Somewhere in there I also eat, and take Gertie for a long walk. Folks, that is ALL I do. Socially I am a hermit, and I'm not sure really why that is, but that is the way it is.

So, for those who keep with this site, Thank You, as I've said a million times before, I'll try to be better; I have a feeling this site will turn into a Tyler Rant Page, where I rant about various things, I see that in the near future. For those that rely on this site for their main source of distraction during tedious work days, I apologize, I will try harder to entertain you. Hope all of you are well, Happy Thanksgiving soon.

Namastè.

Weeds Focus Deer Hiding Behind

Weeds Focus Deer Hiding Behind, originally uploaded by TylerKnott.

It's good to shoot things I see everyday, in different ways. It's not easy, but it is do-able. This little guy sat there and wouldn't budge even when I was about 8 feet away. Much different than the Dad Deer, those suckers chase me.
