As in, my ass.
Work is kicking it today.
Can I just retire already? (never mind I have like 20 years to go…)
How is there so much work when school isn’t in session? (cuz of the damn Covid think…)
I gotta stop answering my own questions.

Research shows, Piss and Moan is good for you.
Angry? Cynical? Pessimist? Grumpy? Ill-tempered?
All good for you, according to research.
Since we’re so into science these days and scientists know all, and should be trusted at all times, so you know this is quality stuff. How could they possibly be wrong? Well, honestly, they’re not. They know their stuff!
So, Bobby McFerrin, you can take your “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” and shove it! According to research, that crap is bad for your health and is more likely to kill you.
Need some help getting into the Piss and Moan mood? I have a few helpful hints to get you there, because I am also an expert in this area.
Try these responses to common, courtesy phrases:
They say: “Good morning!” / Your response: “What’s good about it?”
They say: “Have a nice day!” / Your response: “Don’t tell me what to do.”
Try these thoughts as you go out in public:
Good grief, people are really stupid.
You know, if half these people died right now I wouldn’t miss them.
Based on today’s display of humanity, would pre-historic times really have been that bad?
Try these thoughts about family:
They say: “We’re coming over.” / Your response: “Do you really have to?”
When, for all that is holy, can I stop parenting for 20 minutes?
How are these losers really my kids?
I’m not really genetically related to these people, am I?
You say: “Can you all just leave now?” / They say: “But, we haven’t been here that long.”
See how easy that is? Piss and Moan more. It has been validated and scientifically proven to be good for you.
You’re welcome.

Noon, and all I wanna do is sit down.
Technically, I have been sitting all morning while I work.
But I mean like actually sit down and relax. Actually, you probably already know what I meant without me having to say it. I think we would all just like to sit down and put our feet up.
It’s July 17, 2020, and we are now officially more than halfway through the year.
That’s not real comforting to know that when it feels like we have been through three years in the last six months. Right?
The next six months is shaking out to be another 4 years worth of issues. How fun will that be?
Anyone else just…tired?
Tired physically, emotionally, and of anything and everything?
Well, this is something, and it is on point!
I couldn’t have said it better myself, so I had to share something that someone said better than me. Unfortunately, those who believe “it’s just a mask” have been swayed for too easily.
Ben Franklin was right, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty or Safety.”

The focus is off and that’s the problem.
This whole Covid-19 thing has gotten the reporting all backwards.
At first, when this all came about, the reporting was all about how many people died each day. It was reported by county and by state.
Now, it isn’t necessarily how many people have died but how many people have been tested and have come back positive. From what I understand, a positive result doesn’t necessarily mean that they have a currently active case but just that they have had it at some point in the past (maybe I am misinformed…). Obviously, testing is now more prevalent than it was at the beginning, so of course there will be more people testing positive.
Anyway, just because someone has tested positive doesn’t mean it is a death sentence as we know the mortality rate is extremely low. So, other than fear-mongering, why keep reporting positive cases?
We don’t report how many people get the flu or the common cold on a daily basis, even though large numbers of people still die from them each year.
We don’t report daily car crashes, even though people die from those.
We don’t report daily abortions, even though babies dies daily from that.
We don’t report daily new cases of cancer, though people die from that as well.
Heart disease? Nope. Heart attacks? No. Suicide attempts? Not.
Doesn’t exposure and lack of death create a herd immunity?
So, what’s the big deal if more people are testing positive? The number of deaths (percentage wise) doesn’t seem to have spiked on an exponential climb. If the mortality rate has remained relatively the same, then is there really that much of a cause of concern?
Maybe I am missing something. Or maybe I haven’t.

Why is this song so popular?
Sure it has a great beat. Sure it a some catchy phrases in it. BUT, it wasn’t until I looked up the lyrics that I really understood what the song was about. It’s really kind of disgusting and shouldn’t be popular. It should actually make people angry, and there apparently isn’t any. Where is the outrage over this stuff?
Violence? Check. N-word? Check. Gangsta persona? Check.
“Rockstar” by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch is perpetuating exactly what is wrong in rap music. That music translates to what plays out in the communities that listen to it. Glorifying exactly what went on in major cities all over the country.
Over the holiday weekend, more violence. Could this song be a contributor? Hard to say for sure, obviously, but you can bet there are people out there listening to it and romanticizing the violence and behavior it talks about.
Why do radio stations place this stuff? Why aren’t people holding them accountable for playing music that glorifies violence, murder, drugs, gangsters, etc.? Better yet, why aren’t artists holding other artists accountable for writing about and singing about this stuff?
Perhaps the artists and their music really isn’t about building up a community, or a culture, so much as it is about exploiting it. Perhaps the artists don’t really care about the message that has been played over and over in the media. Just as long as they get theirs and can take it to the bank, right?
That’s irresponsible. That’s hypocrisy. That’s exploitation.
So, are we going to continue to pretend that the protests that happened over the last several weeks had no demonstrable effect on the increase of cases now?
Do they really think that the demonstrations they encouraged, or at the very least didn’t discourage, did’t contribute to what we are seeing now?
Doesn’t the virus have a two week(ish) incubation period?
I don’t think we can overlook the fact that the trend was headed downward until the protests took place. States and economies were already open and the trend was still going down.
But as soon as we see uncontrolled protests and riots, a spike? C’mon! Any rational person can put two and two together. Don’t need to be special smart for this. It’s plain as can see.
Unless, of course, you are blinded by your agenda.

Anyone tired of this face condom thing yet?
Scoff? That’s not what it is…you say…
If I understand the science (that is still all over the place on actual effectiveness) I am being told, then that’s exactly what wearing a mask essentially is – a face condom.
So, according to widely spread, not supportable, social media statistics, if two people wear masks there is a 1.5% chance of a healthy person contracting Covid-19 from a sick person. Now, the CDC won’t confirm those numbers because they have no idea of the accuracy, but the claim is always followed up with “it’s just good to be safe and watch out for others.”
OK, so the CDC won’t give stats on this particular issue.
Interestingly, they also don’t give stats (at least I can’t find any) on their website about the effectiveness of condom use. It can be found in other places though. 98% is the number.
That means (roughly) that condoms and masks work (mostly) with the same effectiveness (if you believe the mainstream narrative) from keeping someone from getting something they don’t want.
Thus, 2020 is the Year of the Face Condom.
You’re welcome.

I shoulda just called in sick today.
That’s not really the right attitude to have, but work sucks today.
I can think of hundreds of other things I’d rather be doing, or hundreds of other places I’d rather be.
Having a hard time dealing with it.
Just not motivated to exert myself in employment today.
My brain already hurts and I’m tired.
Shoulda. Shoulda done a lot of things. Shoulda, shoulda…

My idiot governor has now “mandated” the use of masks statewide.
I hate the idea. Many, many, many people hate the idea.
The science is all over the place and if there was no need to do it previously (remember, they told us not to…because they were afraid there would be a shortage but now any old piece of fabric supposedly works) than what is the need now?
Power.
Government officials feel their power slipping away. In this state’s case, its likely an ego stroking for the governor too.
So, here we go.
To mask, or not to mask? That is the question.
To sheep or not to sheep? Also a question.
