So This Happened Yesterday

Ben’s fine; just a burn on his arm from the airbag. His new knee is fine. The other driver is fine. Fucking I-10!

We’re expecting the insurance company to call this a total loss. He’s already got a deposit down on a replacement vehicle. Just waiting for everything to sort itself out now.

I’m Getting Tired of Doing This

I’m going to take a break from this here blog thingie for a while. I don’t know if it’s going to be a few days or a few weeks or until I get so bored I have to start posting again, but right now I’m just burnt out.

I originally started blogging in 2005 as a way of expressing my frustration at what was happening in the country with the Bush administration. Who could’ve possibly foreseen the hellscape that was going to manifest slightly more than a decade later, the effects of which we’re still wading through.

Obviously I’ve still used this medium to express my frustration with the direction the country is going, but it seems that every. damn. day. there is some outrage perpetrated by the right that’s more horrific than the day before…and I just can’t. There aren’t enough memes in the world to express what I’m feeling right now.

I still firmly believe that Democracy is going to win in this battle, but it’s not going to come through without a few broken bones and a black eye.

And that’s all I’m going to say for now.

Of course, watch me turn around and repost something cool I found online tomorrow…

Stay tuned.
