The End (of Summer)

This time of year always gives me a melancholy feeling.

Summer happens to be one of my favorite seasons, despite the heat and the bugs. Far back as my childhood, Summer was more than a season-it was a feeling of freedom, the shackles of the past being lifted and a brief time to stretch before the school year started and those shackles went back on again.

That feeling got tempered as I entered adulthood. Once school stopped being a thing, summer days just became normal days. But the feeling of freedom I associated with it never left me. I would take time off of work to go on vacations in the summer, mostly to comic book and anime conventions, and upon returning, I would get the feeling of the shackles coming back on.

As I get older and my body becomes less able to do things, I begin to look back to those days as a kid, when summer was a thing to look forward to. I miss those summer days, hanging with friends, going to movies and such. They weren’t as lovely as memory makes them, but that’s nostalgia for you. I hope those who read this know what I am talking about.

Till next time, and enjoy whatever is left of your summer!

What’s your go-to comfort food?

Who knew putting meat, cheese and tomato sauce on a flat wheel of bread would be a banger of an idea?

When you have a bad day. When you’re hungry but don’t wanna cook. When you’re stressed and full of anxiety for no reason, or because the neighbors dog was being an asshole to you for no reason other than you exist near it. Pizza is there for you(me).

Pizza understands days can be bad. Pizza comes to your door fully cooked. Pizza can comfort you when you are anxious and stressed, and doesn’t judge you unlike the neighbors dog.

Some of my favorite memories are when I was having pizza. After a long night at work, a late night pizza and a guilty pleasure movie make a great pairing. It doesn’t hurt that I live in a part of the country where pizza places are around every corner. Just gotta know the good ones!

EVERYTHING!!!!

What are you most worried about for the future?

Western society is ruled by sociopaths and greedy elites.

Everyone is falling for the con known as AI, which isn’t actually intelligent but steals from actual human artists and writers to make its “product”

People are encouraging our youths to trust this AI, which isn’t actually eroding their ability to think and discern truth.

Our military is full of kill crazy monsters who are usually racist and go on to play soldier in antigovernment militias that are basically Nazi hate groups.

Our economy only works for the upper echelons of society, and so does the law. Most of our cops are in the same Nazi militias as our soldiers and are even more violent.

Did I mention the groups that run our government? They’re a bunch of old men and young sociopaths who will never have to suffer the results of their actions. And despite claims of there being multiple “parties”, they love each other more than they love their respective nations.

What worries me about the future?

What I just gave was the long answer.

But here’s the short answer: EVERYTHING!!!

My imperfections make me who I am

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

I’m fat, and love pizza too much.

I’m disabled-mentally and physically, but I manage despite it.

I got a bad foot, bad back and thinning hair on my head.

I wasn’t born to a rich or famous family. In fact, I don’t have much of a family-we don’t do togetherness.

And despite all this, I would not want to trade my life for any other. I am not content with where I am, I am not happy, but I am at peace with who I am and all that entails.

I may never be a successful person, but I will settle for being a good one.

Are We Really Gonna Let Them Do Us Like This?

Our “dear leader” is ruling like a mad king, outlawing speech he doesn’t like, gaming the system so only he and his inner circle have money to spend, and anyone who goes “but why?” is shipped to a concentration camp.

This isn’t what life was supposed to be. When my generation left school (sometime after the towers fell, so things already were shit,) we were told that “things will get better, just wait and see”.

Well, we waited. We saw. Nothing got better. We were promised a bill of goods, dear government. But all of you seem too interested in becoming clones of Hitler to care about the little people. And I mean ALL OF YOU.

We watched the role of “dear leader” go from George W Bush (torturing monster) to Obama (lying, drone killing con artist) to Trump (walking tumor tyrant) to Biden (senile monster) and back to Trump. If these are what qualifies as a “leader” in America, maybe America should just let itself be conquered. Would we even see a difference? I mean, cops are already allowed to kill with impunity-how would a foreign occupation be any worse?

Sorry if the statement above sounds extreme. But are we really gonna let our own government do us like this? Really?!

Ugh. Till next time.

What’s the point anymore?

Do you vote in political elections?

I used to vote in elections with pride.

“Look at me!” I’d think. “I’m doing civics!! I’m helping my country!”

Now though? What’s the friggin’ point.

Let me explain…

It’s become obvious that both parties don’t work for us. Republicans work for the worst society on Earth, while democrats… also work for the worst society on Earth but they hide behind identity politics and messaging they don’t deliver on.

They’re both corrupt, they’re both bought and paid for by oligarchs, neither one wants to help anyone but themselves and their donors.

And if we wanna go even more nihilistic, democrats always decide after they throw what should have been an easy win that they’re just gonna be more like republicans. Who the fuck asked them to be more like republicans?!!? It feels like they just hate their voters and their base and want nothing to do with being “the left”.

And if by some miracle of god a third party were to make gains? The two evil parties would just have their wins erased, then imprison/kill/both their leaders. What’s the point of voting for anyone when our nation is so clearly bought and paid for?

So what’s the answer? Well, the obvious answer is to do away with this rotten government. The best way to do it is to stop voting for either shit party. Voting is giving them your okay to keep drifting rightward. Remember when genocide was a red line? That ended in 2024 when people decided democrats were worth genociding over.

There is no good in a society that decides genocide is the “lesser evil”. End of story

No Need for Kickstarter, Tenchi!!

I am taking the time to notify any and all of you who grew up in Toonami back in the day about this campaign! Details below:

White People Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Say “Woke”

If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?

If there was a word that I would ban (but only for a certain group, which generally use it so it works) I would ban white people from saying “Woke” so damn much!

Most white people abuse the word. They use it to complain, to blame, as a buzzword for things they hate. They’ve bastardized and flanderized the word!

For some, “woke” is when a gay person is in a video game and they don’t like it. For others, it’s another way to say the “N” word without being punched out for it. It means neither of those things, but the majority wouldn’t know it, which is how bad white folk have abused the word.

And you know the worst part? I can recognize this even though I’M WHITE!! I am excluding myself from using the word and I am okay with it. I’ve seen too many of my people whine about woke. I will not join the cacophony of sneering ignorant jerks.

Only people who know what “woke” means should be able to say it. I said what I meant.

NEVER OBEY

Don’t wait to disobey the villains in power

When the freedom of all is at stake.

Do not be silent when they come for your neighbor-

Shout and fight for them.

Scream loud as you can-

“They are attacking us!!”

And fight back violently against the evil in your face.

Do not make yourself a friend of the snake,

For the snake will bite you when he wants to anyway.

Do not wait to disobey, as if there aren’t tyrants in power now.

Do not obey at all. Make a scene. Make yourself the hero you are waiting for.
