Man, I’m not sure what’s going on anymore. I’ve been a musician for a good chunk of my life, and I,ve had my fair share of pharmaceuticals. But I feel like I’m 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 don’t love America enough because I didn’t 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 I’m 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!

And I’ve never done any pharmaceuticals on a recreational basis.

(12,000 posts)I have done some LSD and some shrooms, but never extensively. But I can’t help but feel like I’m in an lsd flashback with what’s going on.

(470 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!
I’m just talking about the last two weeks!

(66,044 posts)I'm very disappointed to learn how many of my fellow Americans are complete assholes. Trump is one sick dude. His millions of followers are a shock.

(12,000 posts)I forgot the “mayor pete isn’t gay. He just claims to be for political expedience” bit!
Once again, is this real life? Yaaaaarrrrrggfggghhhhh!

Another old white guy here, hoping we get out of the rabbit hole in November.

(5,664 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.)

(2,195 posts)I’m becoming convinced that my life took a wrong turn somewhere into an alternate reality. Events of the last couple weeks serve as evidence reinforcing that conclusion.

(5,954 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.

(815 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 didn’t 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.

(12,000 posts)Yeah I still gots The Blue Meanie. Only thing keeping me sane these days! LOL!
A few pics from the Lotus vs The Dragon Rally in TN back in May. 40+ Lotus! What a blast!

(2,840 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

(12,000 posts)Those turns at speeds most cars can’t handle….good god!
Hope you had as much fun as me!
And sincerely, thanks for the kind words. She is my pride and joy (I’m childless and therefore contribute nothing to society).
