Pat O'Brien Gives Thanks

What I'm Especially Thankful For This Thanksgiving:

1. Suri

2. Oxycotin mixed with cocaine. I call it a Chainsaw Daydream and it's best done between the hours of 1am and 4am on Sunday mornings. Great way to start the work week.

3. It's been a rough year for me as you all might know. Lately, I've been doing things that really give me inner peace. This "me time" as I affectionately call it is a welcome reprieve from all the critical and popular adulation I receive on a near daily basis. Some of my earliest memories are of my mother teaching me the ancient Chinese art of calligraphy. I have rediscovered it this year and it's like I have never left. At times I can feel mum's warm embrace in the oblique bend of a "J".

4. gloBronze: I swear by this bronzer. Apply six times a day or as needed and believe me, I need it more than six times a day. Without it I'd just be a well-groomed moustache attached to a lumpy bag of flour.

5. SKA: This popular 90's genre has been the perfect soundtrack to my various stabs at recovery and subsequent relapses. I recommend any Mustard Plug CD you can get your dirty little hands on.

Be safe these holdidays.

Love Papa O'Brien
