I know this isn't going to be easy to listen to 2021 but we need to have a talk. I know you've give me almost 100% of all you have but its not enough anymore. Things might have gotten off on the wrong foot for us last January but I gave you a second chance, and a third and fourth. The truth is I'm just not into you anymore. I am moving on. I respect you enough to tell you how I feel before I ghost you and ignore that you ever came into my life.
I can't get the image out of my mind when the QAnon Shaman and his pals stormed the US Capitol Building to kick off the year. They are still talking about it on the news so it was probably a big deal. You gave us images of troops on the streets of Washington DC and a celebration for a guy named Brandon being sworn in as POTUS. I should have left you then 2021 but I went on hoping for the best. Everybody warned me about you but I ignored them.
You were a year that provided us all many picture and stories about cargo ships. They were full of our fun stuff like legos and socks and all the other things we need to live and build all the other stuff we need to have. We were in a panic for our stuff. What will we do? But I'll never forget the ship of all ships. The Ever Given. Stuck sideways in the Suez Canal. We all watched as a lone forklift was tugging this giant ship to no avail. We were all a tither that our prices at the pump would sky rocket because the wind blew hard through the canal that day. I will never forgive you.
Still you allowed the pandemic to rage on. Thanks for providing the time for the fights and divisions to carry on without ceasing. What would life be without the endless debates and lashing out at each other over Covid? I know, Happy! The blame, the finger pointing, the angst. You are the worst 2021. It should be no surprise I am leaving you. You don't deserve me anymore.
At least Captain Kirk got to outer space for once in his life. Who will ever forget all-time sack leader Michael Strahan going into space? What a day for humanity. Watching three billionaires have a space race has been great. Things are changing fast. Get those rockets ready so we can send the homeless to Mars. I'm sure they will like it there. Good job guys keep it up.
2021 so many things happened that just get forgotten. Ninety-eight people perished in a Condo collapse in Florida. Violent crime rages in our cities and I don't know where you drive but it's dangerous on the roads. Setting records. All these good stories are pumped endlessly by a media who've lost trust and credibility in the eyes of most people with a fully functioning brain. Times are changing 2021. It's time you pack your bags.
I'll never forget the 2021 Summer Olympics. Oh snap, I've already forgotten them.
We had laughs 2021. Sure there were good times. It's not all bad. But let's face it, all the blame is on you deservedly. You made the way for the good and the bad. I wouldn't have given time to the disappointing events of the year but I am not the one in charge. But don't feel bad 2021 you're not the first and I sure you're not the last. I like change, in a few months I'll call you and we can have a few laughs and talk. We've been through a lot together after all.
Before we part forever 2021, it's been interesting nonetheless. I will soften over time because I am the forgiving type. I hope you don't get dusty in the history books. I got a peak at 2022 and it's looking promising. I'm feeling lucky 2021. Without you weighing me down the sky is the limit. I hope we will always be friends. Check out my 2022 highlights video next December and you'll see what a year is supposed to look like.
Excellent!
I am a realistic guy, usually leaning towards optimistic thoughts. That considered, I'm glad I'm here in Mexico for as long as I'm allowed; watching things in the U.S. get ugly in 2022.
Insurrection Day, if I dare call it that, was an indicator. Wow, has that been blown way out of proportion, compared to destruction caused during the year by certain party followers.
The show is just getting ramped up. Since congress found fb's fact checkers to be nothing more than opinionated leftists with an agenda, and then fb going "Meta," I've noticed that anything of substance has given way to bs fluff and anti-Republican rhetoric, and messages I've written have been intercepted by a computer, not delivered to addressee, yet received a, "HI, how are you?" reply, when I know said person would have reciprocated with substantial dialog, of considerable volume beyond four words.
I think there is a "Revenge of the Nerds" situation going on, where all the "Fringers" as I call them, have joined forces.
More on that another time..., thinking of a morning snorkel session about now, catch the critters as they wake up with the sun. Have a great day!
