The Fall of the American Empire, Part I

“Why do people say 'grow some balls'? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”

-Betty White

-Socrates

In our last moments of 2021 as a global community, given the Pacific on the side of California is the final greeting to the New Year, I wanted to simply ramble about a couple of things informally.  Please excuse the grammatical errors.  I typically come to polish my writings up shortly after.  In the case I don't, sorry for the mess.  

Ok, long story short, we're fucking up.  Not "they" are fucking up over "there" or even "here".  No WE are!  If we share 99.9% of our collective DNA, why are we being little bitches to one another?  To go even more microcosm, why are we even doing that kind of shit amongst our own family?  It's bullshit, if you ask me.  Don't like what I'm saying, I have a solution for you.  Heed the famous words of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, "Get your own show!" 

I won't be reading what you have to say, because I don't care to.  If you consider me "close minded", then so be it.  It's my blog and I can write whatever I damn well want!  That being said, let's talk about something less petty.

We are in a state of emergency.  The Earth has long ago decided that humans are the problem to the ecosystem.  Those that don't sincerely believe this must have reincarnated into an ostrich and have buried their heads in the sand or up their ass.  Take it out and look the fuck around!  We are fucking up and now we are about to be extinct, unless we make amends to our home Earth.  It's not just in words, but in actions.  Much of our distress lies in our beef with each other.  

With American politics a worldwide joke, a possible WWIII afoot and the pandemic continuing its surge, it's no wonder our gracious host Earth wants to kick us out like a bad roommate that never fucking washes the dishes, is highly opinionated, and feels entitled to stay.  I don't know about you, but maybe seeking to understand others even before being understood might not be a bad idea, yeah?  This might be beyond the scope of this blog entry and may be discussed later.  

In the meantime, let's celebrate New Years as civilized as possible.  Yes, it is a tall order, I know.  I may add stuff to this blog.  You are welcome to check back later for that, should it happen.  

AMOR FATI

Thank you and good night.
