Not My Best Moment, I Told Someone To Go To Hell

Last night I told someone to go to hell. Yep, you read that right. I told someone on Facebook who is an acquaintance of a friend of mine to go to hell. My reason was that she was not being nice. Her unwavering devotion to the current President of the United States she was saying some very mean and nasty things about Joe Biden. I realize that people say mean things about The President too but that is for another post.

Needless to say, it was not my best moment, but I was sticking up for my friend and the debate had me a little emotionally charged.

Being human means that you are going to make mistakes and do things that you shouldn’t. I know I disappointed and surprised some people.

This makes me feel like a hypocrite for being a believer and not showing kindness and love to my neighbor. Believe me this makes me feel embarrassed. My friends I need to do better.

It’s Not Hard To Say

White supremacy sucks. It’s not very hard to say. Just saying.

A Quick Thought On The First Debate #Debates2020

Last night was the first Biden-Trump debate in the 2020 election. It was a horrible mess. I couldn’t make it through it all. The President was not presidential and came across as a bully and showed us once again who he really is. Vice President Biden had a couple of miscues, but he held his own against the onslaught of Trump’s constant interruptions. Trump also has a problem with racism and lies among other things which should be enough in any other time to have him voted out.

This debate if you want to call it that was an embarrassment for the United States. It’s terribly sad that a grown man cannot seem to abide by the rules that moderator Chris Wallace tried to enforce. Man, I hope this could lead to the cancellation of the last two debates. We don’t need another night of abusive behavior from the so-called leader of the free world.

I hope we don’t have to go through that again. As a CNN anchor said it was a “shit show”.

Happy National Coffee Day! #nationalcoffeeday #coffee

Happy National Coffee Day to all my friends who can’t make it through the day without a cup or three. Enjoy your favorite brew. For me it’s Tim Hortons.

Living Past and Present

The past can offer some comfort when the present delivers chaos and vice versa.

2021 Terms and Conditions

Before I agree to 2021, I need to see some Terms and Conditions. Don’t we all. Who knows what next year will hold? That is going to take a lot of hope for a brighter tomorrow.
