Quarantine day 35

-





I thought I was going to start today being positive and shit. But apparently that wasn't meant to be. I made the mistake of posting something on FB regarding the calls to poison control following tRump's disinfectant comments, and someone, who I thought was a friend, showed their true colors in support of tRump. 
It turned into a whole thing. My blood pressure went up, and I ended up unfriending him. Another one bites the dust.

Steve and I want to stay off of social media because it's so frustrating, but since we are a couple of the smart ones and self-quarantining, there's not much else to do.

Perhaps the day was going to be stressful anyway, because today the initial quarantine rules are being lifted. Hair salons and gyms and movie theaters are opening, even though many professionals say it's too early. Yeah, I want to go sit in a movie theater for two hours with a bunch of other people.
No, thanks. we will probably refrain from going to the movies for quite a while. It's a shame, because there are a few new releases coming out that we were looking forward to. But we'll have to wait, and watch them at home when DVDs come out.

Even though the lockdown rules are slowly being lifted, Steve and I will remain indoors and relatively safe from anyone else, and see what happens. As Miss Celie says in The Color Purple, "I just gonna sit back and see what colors Miss Shug put on the wall next."

Medical professionals are fearing a second wave of the virus. I fear that they are absolutely right. With all the protests and people not wearing masks and not following social distance guidelines, a second wave--one most likely worse--is going to happen.

Stay safe. Stay inside. 💓

We've started a new year. We've started a new opportunity to be a better person. A happier person. It's no secret that I'm one of the worst bloggers around. Why? Because no one reads it. And that had been a difficult thing for me to handle for years. So I feel I don't need to try.  2018 was a bad year. No only because there's a new problem with the cunt in the White House every day, but with people in general. People have gotten more violent and uncaring. As a society, it is clear that we are declining.  It's been extremely difficult attempting to stay positive over the last 12+ months. But that is going to change. I am going to fight for positivity. No more depression. No more doubting myself or my writing. If people don't want to read my blog, big fucking deal! I don't care anymore. The time for change is now! No more thoughts of suicide (yes, there have been days). No more self-depreciation. I will do whatever I can to be successful

Freedom of Speech?

  It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. It’s been a while since I’ve done any type of writing. I don’t even have a website anymore. I wasn’t planning on writing anything, probably eve again, but lately, things have been changing.  The “Supreme” Court has been making very dangerous changes to the laws in our country. Particularly six of the judges. Six CONSERVATIVE judges, who are forcing us to go back to the 1950’s! Their latest stunt is allowing businesses to discriminate against LGBT+ people if they don’t want to serve them, because it’s against their religion. They’re claiming it falls under the First Amendment: freedom of speech.  Oh, yeah, we’ll, here’s some freedom of speech for you: Fuck them!!! Fuck all Republicans!!! Fuck Donald tRump and his illiterate cult. Fuck all the ignorant morons who claim being “woke” is bad.  Here’s, some freedom of speech: I wish I was able to tell the cunt that walks in wearing a MAGA terrorist hat that their not welcome in our place of busines

Finished another one

After an almost seven month break from writing, yesterday I finished another book. It is the first installment of a new new trilogy called My Leprechaun . The first book is titled The End of the Rainbow . I'm excited about this series, but I'm also filled with angst. Finishing a book and getting it ready to put out into the world and see what it does is usually an exciting time. There's always that chance that this book will be the one that puts my name on the map. In pure blog openness,  that's what I had hoped for when I released Reunion last October. It was my first ghost story, and I thought it would make a huge splash. But it didn't. I fought for months just to get a few reviews.  The excitement fizzled and faded. And something inside me turned off. That was the start of my break from writing.  I was sure I was done working so hard for nothing in return. But there was this story that I had wanted to tell for years. I had almost finished the first draft months
