Although I already had my Thanksgiving about a month ago and I’ve been spending these recent days studying and preparing for a final exam, I wish the best for all my fellow bloggers and friends south of the border, and hope that you’ve had a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend.

Video of the week

I know that this has already been making the rounds, but it’s a good one. 🙂

Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interest, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle.

Ludwig von Mises

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, guys.

  3. Thanks for the mention! Did you do any Black Friday shopping :)?

    I love that video- those characters are so cute! Did you see the iPhone vs HTC desire one?

    lol “aren’t the taxes higher than a year ago? isn’t tuition higher than a year ago?”

    • I did, but online only. Too many crazy people out there to risk a physical trip to a store in all that shopping madness. 😉 I haven’t seen the other video yet, but I can just imagine it. I’ll go check that out!

    • Thanks for stopping by! I just read your post about what to be thankful for, and I enjoyed it. There is definitely much to be thankful for and to look forward to.

    • Thanks for the good wishes, Forest. Hope you’ve been enjoying the sun and nice weather over there. It’s almost consistently below freezing over here. 🙂

    • Too much, yet I’ve been neglecting the books a bit. I have tons of reading to catch up on… hecks, there are many movies and shows I haven’t watched yet. There’s too much…! 😛

  11. Thank you for including me! Good Luck with your exam. I am so glad I am done with the school. I would spend holidays studying wich sucked. 🙂

    • Haha. Sometimes I’m glad I’m done, but I don’t know… there are aspects of it that I like. Maybe I’ll keep finding a reason to go back until I get so old that I really can’t fit in with the students anymore… haha.
