Dateline 12-19-2017
/Here we go with another day of nonsense. Not that any particular nonsense is going on here in this room, as I am still busy working away on my ambitious dream to be able to support myself as a writer, I'm more talking the overall nonsense of modern life that I am growing more and more disinterested in being a part of, making the fantasy to earn enough to be able to afford to go off the grid and live out the rest of my days writing in some location where I can just tune out the rest of the world.
It was bad enough, years ago, when I started to see that the sky was starting to fall while the rest of society saw my type as crazy and over worrying about nothing at all. Now that all of our fears are starting to come to fruition and everyone else seems to be losing their minds, you'd think that I'd find comfort in having more people on my team but no, these newbies are too crazy and very unfocused in their ways.
It seems like these people want to believe the all of these issues just randomly started with the election of Trump instead of the slow boiling of frogs that I've been feeling for most of my life. One of the interesting things that's come from watching every episode of Saturday Night Live is the fact that the show is as old as I am creating a timeline that parallels my life.
As I watch each of these old episodes that satire the news from the day, I can start to see when and why I developed my distrust and fears. That's not to say that the show created said distrust and fear of world events that led me to question who's really in charge but it's been a really interesting way to revisit history to get a reminder of the order of events.
I wish I was articulate enough to share these findings but in this current state of the world, it would just be pointless if I could since it would only add to the noise of armchair experts who now seem to expect you to agree with 100% to avoid being an ignorant jerk, which I don't expect from anyone since I don't even agree with my own beliefs with that much confidence.
Sorry to start the day on this note, I just woke this morning frustrated because once again, the internet was out and after resetting the modem the first thing I got was the news filled with contradicting stories depending on the source, instead of easing into the day through visiting the more frivolous sites that I usually go to via my phone as I ease myself out of bed.
With that, it's now time to go on and start my day, which if it ends up a repeat of yesterday, I will be a happy man, since it was a pretty productive day. As always I'll check in tomorrow with another update as to what I ended up getting into. Until then, it's now that time to say good day and good luck to you and all of your projects.
Talk to you soon.
Sincerely,
The Wicker Breaker
