I am thankful for the brand new house I was able to purchase this year in April. Then for finding out later that month how my wife was cheating on me and wanted a divorce. I am thankful it was a good friend of mine with whom she was now with. The August 15th court date where we were able to finally legally divorced. I am thankful for this being the start of my first holiday season in 9 years without my high school sweetheart by my side. Most of all... I am thankful that since late April when she left, we have been splitting the mortgage for this house and she is not even living here.

Love you all,
Liam
And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....
Most of all , my family and every single day. As someone who will always be a recovering alcoholic and who once stood on the wrong side of a bridge railing contemplating suicide, every day,days I'd have missed , is precious.
I'm thankful to Pearl Jam and all the great folks I've met on the road for brightening my outlook and picking me up when I'm down. Finally , if a brilliant cd compilation , a brilliant video compilation , and five concerts attended is an off year , gimme more of that.

I'm thankful for my wife for being such a wonderful, beautiful and understanding person. My daughter, who just turned two yesterday, for filling our house with laughter, happiness and keeping me young. Lastly I'm thankful for my son, who was born in September, for being a healthy, strong baby and completing our family. Cheers to everyone else!

I am thankful for all the amazing people on this board! To everyone here who has ever given me a DVD boot, a Christmas single (when mine got lost in the mail) a guitar pick, a poster trade, or just good vibes. I wanna say thanks! And talk about friendly. I went to Ben Harper last Thursday night and this guy looks at me and asks "hows it going"? and we struk up a conversation. He said he recognized my face. Yup, he was from this board and he had seen me at a few shows. Pearl Jam fans are some of the best people in the world. THANKS!

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, same time next year i´d probably say i´m thankful for my newborn baby as my girlfriend is due in march next year.
But Pearl jam wise i´d have to say Copenhagen. Went there with the love of my life to see the best band in the world play live right in front of me.
Follow the angled light.
Follow the strangest tribe.
