Tomorrow at 12:01 midnight I begin my self imposed 72 media blackout.
TV, Newpapers, Social Media- everywhere that will be covering the start of this shit show will be off limits.
The media wants eyeballs and clicks over the coming days as they will bounce from thing to thing going on in politics and get us all panicked.
I encourage everyone to sit back and enjoy life for 3 days and don't get swept up in the massive tsunami of bullshit coming our way.
Read a book, watch a movie, work on a puzzle, catch up on your tv shows,spend time with you kids and grandchildren, or anything else that keeps you away from the blizzard that starts tomrrow.
See you all Thursday
