It’s December now. Christmas is coming up and I’m a few weeks into my new job. I like it fine, but the holiday shifts (9am-7pm) 5 or 6 days a week are really rough. They’re rough on my mental health as well as my physical. I spend all day on the phone, the majority of ..read more

The pandemic has done weird things to people and battered or broke relationships of all sorts. I know I for one have lost touch with family members and friends, and in a strange way, I am glad for it. I don’t even know what month we’re technically on. It’s gotten to the point where the ..read more

I’ve been avoiding writing here because everything is just so bleak. Covid-19 has killed 237k+ people in the United States, and Americans are still complaining about having to wear a mask and not being able to go out to dinner when cases are soaring.. again.

This country disgusts me. So do the majority of it’s citizens. I don’t even know where to begin to be completely honest, there’s so much trash right now I just can’t process half of it. I’m disgusted and appalled at family as well as friends, and if I distance myself any more than I already ..read more

Police killed another Black man in Minneapolis, Minnesota. George Floyd. They murdered him on video for all the world to watch. They murdered him with the expectation that they would get away with it. I refuse to post the video as Black people should not have to watch death over and over again. The people ..read more

This would have been the 5th presidential election I would’ve voted in. That’s right. I’m not sure I’m going to vote this November. Now, I know every single Liberal reading this just felt their heart rate speed up and eyes bulge out a bit. Fair warning: I don’t give a shit. There was more than ..read more

Things have changed so much in the last year and more importantly, things will never be the same. I thought about it for a while, and decided that it seemed right to archive my previous posts. While a lot of them were still relevant, they seemed so.. distant, and I just wanted a fresh start ..read more

January. The beginning of the cold months without the sparkly lights and ornaments. Just cold, slush, rain, snow and a growing ache in joints that you’ve abused far too often over the years. It’s the season of boots, warm jackets, coffee and a general disdain for the wind that seems to always be howling in ..read more

Media in America (and of course around the world) has always been biased. Sure there are some sources that are more towards the middle, but you can usually put a media network on either the left or the right. This is nothing new, regardless of this administration or Obama’s. Fox News was literally created to ..read more
