Hi everyone, except for Pam Bondi, RFK Jr, other members of the Free-Dumb Caucus, and a rather vindictive bar manager in Pasco County, Florida. Apparently, you must think I'm the worst person on Earth. Trust me, there are a lot of hombres and mujeres MUCH worse than I'll ever be. And on a somewhat related note, to the guy I call the TEMU Fred Durst, fuck you.
Anyway, it is now July, which means Hurricane season is just ramping up. We've already had two named storms (which didn't amount to much) and we have a possible third right over the Gulf Coast of Florida as I write. No, I'm not referring to the perpetual Tropical Depression that's my love life, but a blob of storms that will cause rain, rain, and more rain for the remainder of this week. According to some forecasters, it may develop into a tropical system, but for now I'm not worried. Heck, if it cancels the "Battle of Spring Hill" this year, all the better. I'd rather watch fireworks at home on my computer. That said, Happy Independence Day.
Now, as to why I haven't been active on here lately. The last blog I wrote I deleted because I didn't want to potentially face repercussions that the aforementioned bar manager might try to pin on me. Let's just say that a potential reset of an episode of the Jerry Springer Show could have potentially happened, and nobody wants that. Heck, I kinda blame that show for playing a part of the downfall of American civilization over the past thirty years. Even though I have friends that have been on that show. I also have a friend who was a Jeopardy! champion, so there is that. But I digress. The reason I haven't been active lately because I didn't want to be Negative Nate on this blog and piss and moan about everything and anything. Yes, it has been a difficult couple of months, but life goes on. But I didn't want this blog to be a typical 90's rock song: rather depressing. So, I stayed away for the most part.
Another reason is that the main source of motivation was kind of taken away from me. If you remember what I did write in my deleted post, you might know why. Love is my biggest motivator, and I felt it was swiped from me. Plus, the geopolitical situation was tenuous to say the least. One week, Iran and Israel are at war with another, the next week, a hastily pieced together cease-fire is put into place thanks to Mango Mussolini. I think the real reason the cease fire was installed wasn't told to us by the press, but for now the cease fire is holding. I guess all of WWE's employees that were in Saudi have left there by now, so I think Iran and Israel will be like Itchy and Scratchy again in no time.
Something else I've noticed the last couple of days that the frequency is a little off kilter. Yesterday was my sister Carmel's birthday, and we went out to a local Longhorn Steakhouse to celebrate. Usually the food there is amazing, but yesterday it wasn't that good, except for the ice cream. I didn't even finish my baked potato, and I NEVER leave my plate other than clean when I eat. The steak wasn't cooked correctly and full of gristle. Not like Longhorn at all. Maybe we should have gone to that new Olive Garden further up Cortez Blvd.
Then this morning me and my sisters found out that the last living sibling of our father died on April 15. I don't know if that's why the last two months plus have been substandard as compared to February and March, when I was incredibly happy and for good reason. But after hearing about it, the frequency kind of turned around a bit. The sun came out, the clouds cleared, and I'm back to writing again.
Oh, one more thing before I go, because I get the sense that something didn't happen, I thought I'd post this photo as a "F You" to TEMU Fred Durst.
To paraphrase a line from John Mellencamp, "I saw her first."
Yes, I might be a little off kilter myself.
Until next time
Bonyscribe.
OH, BY THE WAY...I'm back on Twitter! (I still refuse to call it X, just like I refuse to call the Gulf of Mexico that other name)
