Title: W-T-F happened?
Topic: Wasnβt Covid in our rear window…#GuessNOT
Why is everyone testing positive NOW!? I thought we were heading outta this βthing?β I thought the stands were going to be filled with something OTHER than “flat-Stanleys?” I thought we were heading to the ball parks and arenas and concert venues again. I thought we were heading back to some Broadway shows? I thought I was sending my kids off to college to meet real people and professors. You want me to wait ANOTHER YEAR?!!
I guess, much like YOU, I THOUGHT a lot of things were happening, or about to happen at least. But, like, you, I was wrong. Again. Or, was I right, and some of the stupidity around me was wrong? Hmm… Either way, weβre all sharing the same space, the same air, water, and, unfortunately, the same collective results.
You mean the Bezos Bros. didn’t invite you and your bro to get outta Dodge and into space too? Me neither. Maybe next time, Jeffrey. In the meantime, I just wanna watch my damn football team this month. I wanna see my favorite players and coach enter Canton in a few days. We wonβt spend too much time on them, but they are mine, and Iβve waited long enough to see them (since 2020). And, Iβve remained masked and distant and silent, and….if I donβt get my way, Iβm gonna have to be duct-taped to my office chair (not unlike some of these rabid air travelers). People, we need to relax and agree that if we donβt follow the same protocols, we will remain in this lunatic space until we run out of—water…What? Now, weβre running out of THAT too? Youβre #KillinMe !
Cβmon man!
Oh well, I’m done venting…see you in the fall…hopefully…Iβll be the #DryOneΒ Β
