Not so patriotic

-



Yesterday was the Fourth of July, but I was feeling far from patriotic. I have to say that I am so disappointed in America right now. I'm ashamed of this country. 
I'm ashamed because of all the things that are going on right now.

To start, look who a majority voted into the most important office in the country three and a half years ago. A fucking clown! Someone who is working with Russia to kill our service members. Someone who has been found guilty of crime after crime and indiscretion after indiscretion, yet nothing happens to him.

Let's talk about the pandemic? Yes, it's world wide, but it's the worst in America. Why? The idiot in the White House. He was calling it a hoax for the first two months when actions were supposed to taken.
Now, it's only getting worse.

Okay, about the pandemic and Americans . . . There was a lockdown to start with, but then all the idiots were starting to protest because their "rights" were being taken away because they were supposed to shelter at home.
Then they started bringing guns to capitols and threatening governors. 
Then things began to open up, but people were asked to wear masks and social distance.
But apparently that was too much for their simple minds to handle, too. People are protesting about wearing masks because we live in America and have rights.

They're too ignorant to understand that it to help one another get through this pandemic.

So, yesterday, as Americans celebrated this wonderful country, full of people who were ignoring the virus and dong what they want. 

Oh, yeah, I'm proud to be an American. Not anymore.

    💜I am so sorry, Pol. Your country is a great country despite all that. A great country where great people like you, Steve and my friend Dyanne and Phil and many more were born. I am so glad you exist in the world. Thank you. Please stay safe💜.

    I felt the same way. In my 54 years, yesterday was the first day I didn't wear red, white, & blue. I didn't pop, or even watch, a single firework. Our "president" and his buffoon followers have made living here unenjoyable. I've never wanted to move to Costa Rica as bad as I do right now, and that's saying a LOT, because it's what I've longed for for 5 years. I'm sad to find out that so many people I had as friends (operative word: "had") are bigoted, racist, homophobics who don't give two shits about the safety and well-being of those around them. I'm anti-Trump, Pro Choice, Pro LGBTQ, Anti Confederate war flag, Pro mask wearing, Pro BLM. While I have many friends who are of the same mindset, others were not, and they were draining me. Buh Bye. I'm not even sad about it.

    to clarify, I don't wear red, white, and blue EVERY day. I meant to say it was the first Independence Day I didn't wear it. haha!

Just a quick hello-

-
As I sit here waiting to begin my work day, I wanted to just say a quick hello. As you can tell by the lack of a picture, I'm on my iPad, my new best friend. I never thought I would love the iPad as much as I do, but I do. I'm sill learning all the ins and outs, but I'm getting there. Things have been pretty much going in a steady forward motion for me. Steve is finally felling better, which always eases my mind tremendously. Book sales have been great. Work has been not as horrible as it usually is, so that's a nice change. And Buster, well, he's still his cute adorable self. The weather here in Austin has begun to slowly feel more like Texas weather; that is to say, it's getting hot as shit. I told myself, this year I would try and not get as stressed about the weather as I did last summer. I just have to keep it in my head that there is nothing I can do about it, and my time here gets shorter and shorter with each day that passes. Oh how I can't w...

Just full of giddiness!

Not sure if it's really all that manly to be full of giddiness, but I don't know of any other way to describe it.  One of the rules of blogging, especially for a writer, is not to bore your readers with the same old subject over and over.  But Luthor is a major part of my life right now, and things are beginning to change because of it. And the title of this blog is the daily ups and downs of  an up and coming writer, and over the past few years there have too many downs.  I am on the way up, and I'm gonna shout it from the top of a mountain (from the top of Pike's Peak, eventually). I just got done preparing a couple of packages for some people who have purchased signed copies of Luthor .  And as I was doing it, I was so happy. Actually over the past few weeks I have been so happy.  Sales have been great.  People have been talking to me about the book and telling me about the emotions it took them through and how if effected them.  Ea...

The light at the end of the tunnel-

(I'm doing this entry on my iPad, so I'm not able to add a picture.  Just imagine a cool shot of Colorado, please. ) As most of you know, our big goal is to get the hell out of Austin and up to the mountains of Colorado. Obviously we have to wait a couple of years until I retire with the City of Austin, The other day I got some good news: That goal got 6/7 months closer. I will be able to buy my sick time and move my date up! Nice! So by roughly September of 2014 I will be retiring! It seems weird to say those words. People tell me, "You can't retire, you're too young." The hell, I can't! You're never too young to retire, if you're able.  It's my reward for sticking with a job I didn't like most of the time for 23 years! Some also ask, "What are you going to do? You'll get bored." The hell I will! They forget: I'm a writer. I actually never thought I would retire with the City, because I always thought my caree...
