Man, Im not sure whats going on anymore. Ive been a musician for a good chunk of my life, and I,ve had my fair share of pharmaceuticals. But I feel like Im in the twilight zone. Reasons?
-Snoop Dog/Olympics
-Flavor Flav/Olympics
-Kamala just suddenly became black?
-Matt Gaetz showing up at the RNC convention looking like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead.
-I dont love America enough because I didnt release a second, third, or fourth version of me on the country.
- People frantically looking for a reason to justify their hate against trans folk have decided that a cis-female is now trans
-People looking to hate anyone not like them have decided that a tribute to Dionysus was actually the last supper
-If I, a white male, vote for a female Im apparently transitioning
-People are wearing feminine hygiene products on their ears, diapers, and t-shirts that read real men wear diapers
Between work, wife, home, and a problematic issue with the demon rum
.every once in awhile I poke up my head, look around, and feel like this kid:
LOL!
IS THIS REAL LIFE? Yaaaaaaarrrggggh!

(462 posts)I read a lot of fantasy and science fiction, but if the last 8 years were written down as a book, I would have been unable to suspend my disbelief. Who would have thought a scum sucking real estate fraud magnate could become president of the United states, and then change America so much in 4 years.
That all happened prior to the mouth surgery above! LOL!
Im just talking about the last two weeks!

(5,611 posts)that 'Idiocracy' is really an instructional video;
that Borowitz (and The Onion, and the Babylon Bee) are legitimate news outlets;
that Fox, Newsmax, WorldNetDaily, and RightSideBroadcasting are ALSO legitimate news outlets;
that tRump won the 2020 election;
that 34 felony convictions don't really mean anything, but a never-ending stream of baseless accusations is totally disqualifying;
etc.
If these folks are allowed to venture anywhere near the levers of power again, we're fucked. (Most of them probably shouldn't even be allowed to take a normal tour of the White House or Congress.)

(5,929 posts)It's a form of self-preservation and weeding out undesirables in order to advance the species. Unfortunately, the advancing species isn't the intelligent, empathetic version.

(525 posts)I had two teeth pulled a month and half ago and another one just two weeks ago and bone grafts done. The dear hubby says that stuff I took made me act just like this kid. Two teeny weeny pills knocked the hell out of me the first time and one and a half the second time. I didnt know they made stuff like that. Damn.

I haven't noticed you on here much lately, but have often enjoyed your posts. Still got the awesome car? Hope you are well - aside from the confusion you so well described that we are all grappling with.

(2,837 posts)I was also driving that in May and got some nice souvenir pics - but your car is so gorgeous - that musta been fun!
Just so you don't think I am cool or anything - I was there by accident during a bunch of visits to things and people in eastern US - drove 4K miles and this Dragon Tail was a very fun and unexpected delight
