People are doing horrible unthinkable things to other people in the Ukraine and Israel and Palestine and Africa and America and… just about everywhere. As children, if we had done or said some of those horrible things - like taking peoples stuff and calling people names and throwing things at others because of how they looked or dressed what they believed – it would have gotten us spanked and put on a timeout. Toys would have been taken away. Dessert would have been taken away. Free time to play with friends would have been taken away and my lesson would have been learned. And I would never have done whatever the offending thing was again.
For someone like me with a tendency to get stuck in the darkness and drown in the muck of hate, this is not an easy time to pretend that everything is okay. It’s not. Mean people suck and I wish I could punch them all in the nose. Husband and I had a list of things to do this weekend to start the basement phase on the house. But we got up on Saturday, looked at the news and took ourselves back to bed to pretend everything was hunky dory. It’s easier to do that under the covers on a rainy Saturday watching Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee while doing an online puzzle. Productive? Nope. Necessary? Hell, yeah. When I woke up this morning, everything was not all better. Mean people are still doing stupid mean awful things to other people. Sadly, it is not at all like a Bruce Willis movie or twenty-four hours of Kiefer Sutherland’s TV life; there doesn’t seem to be a single barefoot man out there trying to save the world with nothing but some duck tape and a gravely whisper. We are all going to have to pull our shit together, put on our big boy pants and stop being wieners. "Grow the eff up and act like the grown-ups you should be." Do you hear me heads of state and presidents of countries? Russia, so they don’t want to play with you? Take your ball and just go home. Stop making the Ukraine participate if they don't want to. And stop breaking other people’s toys! Seriously! Someone has gotten hurt and that is not okay! Israel and Palestine. Just STOP IT!!! You keep this up; there won’t be any land to play with. Stay in your own corners and shut up about who is right. You’re both wrong. And stupid. Americans who are preaching the lord and saving a child in Africa with a penny a day and then actively pushing starving terrified children back across the stupid line, shame on you. How can you sleep at night knowing you’re sending them back to die? Yes, I know they are on “in your yard.” That sucks. I get it. But fix the problem there or shut up and figure out how to make it better here. Don’t just shove it out the door and call yourselves human beings. You’re not. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGG! As Corky St. Clair would say: “Well, then, I just HATE you… and I hate your… ass… FACE!” Here are pictures of the baby deer that have been hanging around our yard. They are finally old enough to have overnight sleep overs without mommy deer. This is why I’m not in bed under the covers crying. Look around you and find your version of baby deer. Otherwise, nothing is going to get done around here while the bedding industry rakes it in.
