It Is What It Is

Sometimes the phrase “it is what it is” is kind of an excuse but sometimes its reality. For me life is what it is and until things change its what I have to live with. Life isn’t always happy unicorns and narwhals.

I Am Mad As Hell #resist

8 Comments

Serious shit is going on and we need serious people to act. I am trying to be one of those persons.

Hurricanes, pandemic, racism, homophobia, homegrown terrorism, unemployment are dominating the headlines and it seems so very overwhelming. I am mad that there are some folks are not taking any of this seriously. This is a national and global community issue. We can also say there are people who are having a hard time paying rent, keeping the lights on and food in the pantry.

There is much pain to be felt and some aren’t even acknowledging anything is going on. I can honestly say things are not going in a positive direction and its OK to admit that. Being realistic is good if things are going to get better.

All I can say is that Donald Trump is a jackass who is empowered by evil. He does evil. He is not truly serious about leading. He just wants the title. Screw him. His supporters should repent for supporting him. He has to go for the worlds sake. He’s not for life he’s dealing in death and the evil of greed.

Right now I am righteously mad as hell and that is more than OK.

The Negative Web

4 Comments

Negativity permeates the web in a lot of places. A fellow blogger asked how their followers deal with it. I said I try to inject some positivity wherever I can. Kindness can go a long way. However its ok to be realistic and avoid fake positivity. Faking it isn’t good for anyone. Genuine feelings should be the rule rather than the exception. I have learned this the hard way over the years. Being kind is good, being kind to yourself is necessary, being realistic well that is helpful to everyone. Learn how to not get caught up in the negative Web. You might not get out of its trap.
