  Thankful For Many Things

Today is the American holiday for Thanksgiving. Canadians celebrated their Thanksgiving holiday last month. I have many reasons to be thankful and will only list the most dear to me because I could make it a very long list.

My greatest blessing is my family. I was born into a supportive and financially stable family. Why I received this blessing is beyond me, as I well know I could have been born into a family without these advantages. If I dwelled on this it would drive me crazy. Many families within mere miles of my home do not posses the same opportunities as I do. Even though I struggle with the same problems of everyday life that we all face, I know that no matter wether I succeed or fail, at the end of my day my wife and two children will give me their unconditional love and support. When my wife says " Hugh, we can get through this together", my outlook improves no matter how bleak the situation. When I come home from work depressed after a particularly hard shift, I am surprisingly uplifted by an unexpected hug or kiss from my children who gave it to me for no particular reason at all but because they love their dad. What a great feeling!!!! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Most of us are blessed to live in a free society where we have the opportunity to shape our own futures. These opportunities are stated in the U.S. Constituion, " Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". While many of us take these words for granted, they are enforced and upheld not by the President, or Congress, or Judicial system, but the brave young men and women in our military and the brave veterans who preceeded us. For these young people sacrificing their lives for me, I am truely grateful!!

Even though my government mislead the nation as to the reasons for going to war, I feel that the soldier's sacrifice to protect my country are immeasurable. Our way of life was threatened on September11, 2001. Taking the war against terrorism into the homeland of those who would do us harm, has prevented further attacks on the North American Continent.

While my viewpoint is controversial and political, and possibly not the appropriate forum, I must be thankful for those putting their life on the line. When I hear of new casualties to our troops, I know that some family here has lost a son or daughter. I imagine myself losing one of my kids, and how I would feel. While this war is wrong in many ways, I must respect the bravery and fortitude of the U.S. military. Thank you for protecting my freedom and my way of life, and allowing me to gather with my family in peace, while sacrificing your time away from your own family.

On a lighter note, I am thankful for the Hipbase for being the great source of info on my favorite band. I am also thankful that our community has remained a forum for all points of view, and everyone has been given the opportunity to express their thoughts without the fear of spiteful criticism that I have witnessed on other sites. :thumb:

Please post anything that you feel thankful for, and feel free to disagree with me in a respectful manner.

Grooveless asked me too check my old copy of ARA 1993 landsDowne Park to see if it was the original quality recording....AND IT WAS....
It would seem someone converted the show along time ago and made low quality files.
My shoiw though in Mp3 form is 192 not 96 or whatever the shitty copy was turned into and sound crystal clear no watery compressed KRAP

If you want a copy of the show ask grooveless for a trade!!!!!

Hey everyone -

Today I will be listening to The Hip's unforgettable performance in Buffalo NY that took place on this date in 1996. It was my second Hip show, and the first in which I was completely indoctrinated into the magic of all things Hip. At my first Hip show, all I had was DFN and TATH. Five months later, I had it all and this show was one of the best evenings of my life.

Setlist:
-------
Gift Shop
Twist My Arm
Grace, Too
Springtime In Vienna
Fully Completely
Ahead By A Century
Butts Wigglin
The Luxury
700 Ft. Ceiling
Courage
Hiccups
Daredevil
Put It Off
New Orleans Is Sinking
Don't Wake Daddy
Wheat Kings
Little Bones
Nautical Disaster
Fire In The Hole

ENCORE #1
--------------
Greasy Jungle
At The Hundredth Meridian

ENCORE #2
--------------
Escape Is At Hand.....
Blow At High Dough


I think just for the hell of it, I'll post quotes from this show as the songs come on. Gord was in top form that night.

Nickelback is coming to Cornwall. Anybody know why? Are they just trying to make history with the amount of cities they play in on this current tour? I just don't understand why they would play in a small town such as this.

I really dislike their music. When a Nickelback song comes on the radio, I cringe. I can't stand Chad Kroeger. Should my radio station play "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" one more time, I will start listening to a pop station. And yes I bought a ticket to the concert, they're only $39.00.

Was anyone else watching the Senators play the Thrashers tonight? Neither was I , but I just happened to flick through and caught "Blow at High Dough" playing on the loud speaker. I suppose I wouldn't have thought much of it, but they were playing in Atlanta! The crowd was dancing along with a couple security guards. Anymore fuel for that fire, the Hip would be the next 'Loverboy' in the U.S.
