There Comes A Point Where Self Preservation Kicks In
Posted on April 20, 2021

I think I’m there.

I noticed it a few days ago.

Open up the phone to check the news the other day while I was savoring my first cup of coffee and cigarette and start checking Emails, the news etc.

I seem to have collected several news feeds on my Email I noticed.

Almost all of them had headlines concerning the antics of the Democrats or else the antics of the Republicans in response to the antics of the Democrats.

The same thing this morning just a few minutes ago.

I glanced at several as I was scrolling through and it just hit me.

I Don’t Give A [bleep].

It’s all bullshit designed to keep me preoccupied.

Every [bleep] bit of it.

Kabuki Theater Writ Large.

The Republicans are gonna do this, the Republicans are gonna do that.

Horse [bleep], the Republicans aren’t going to do anything other than roll over on their backs and piss all over their bellies just like they have been doing for 50 [bleep] years.

The Democrats are going to continue their march towards full blown Communism and Totalarianism, just like they have been doing for the last 50 [bleep] years.

And ya know what?

I just don’t [bleep] care anymore.

Enough.

Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete, ignore, ignore, ignore.

It’s too far gone to save at this point and an especially acrimonious national divorce is going to be the final play in my personal lifetime.

Acrimonious as in bloody and violent.

That’s what they want and that’s what they are gonna get.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes aye?

The Grand Prize in this game is going to be a Gold plated Booby Prize no matter what happens.

I have too many other things to do that are immensely more pressing and urgent than to waste my time paying attention to this bullshit.

These people get paid to play this game, I don’t.

Now if you will excuse me I am going to set this little box of instant infuriation down and go out into the garage.

[bleep] ’em all.

I f'n love it!

Totally media fatigue for me too.

Ditto the gov. There are no Democrats or Republicans.

It's them and us.

After 11/3 my goal became to stop reading much in the way of "news". Started focusing on stuff I enjoy and have some degree of control over. My mood improved a bunch. Last week my back went out on me so I spent 2 days straight reading all the news feeds. My back improved but my ill mood came back full steam.

Note to self: learn to knit.... or save a few novels to read for the next time I need to ride Mr. Heating Pad again.


Please don't feed the trolls!

No news for me other than business/finance. Skip doom/gloom articles. I’ll keep on working, thinking and living my way until they force me to to otherwise. Then it will be an easy decision to make.
