I feel you Karen about the Stardew Valley concert. I have seen where there is a jazz concert to the music of Cowboy Beebop which is touring NC next week and I know that jazz slaps! When you go to the concert Karen, please banter us on this feed as well as the Nerd Off.
I didn’t cry this time when Dump was elected like I did the first time but I am worried. I’m worried but disengaged if that makes sense. Of course I care that a lot of his policies will affect me and my family but I’m kinda resigned to the bullshit this time around. All I can do is keep voting when the time comes if we even have that chance and focusing on my family and mental health and doing the things that make me happy. I’m focusing on learning how to crochet and learning a new language to keep me occupied.
As for the new Kendrick album I gotta say I have been a casual listener of his music but there are a few songs on his latest album that has had me in a chokehold since the release. Luther and Squabble up have been on a continuous loop these past couple days. All the old school samples is making my heart happy. He’s got another banger. This has definitely been his year.
I didn’t realize I was in the same pattern as Karen… binging a show round the clock, knocking back dozens of episodes, and then having The Cry. Today marks 7 years that my mom has been gone, and once cry-time started, it just ALL came out. Everything that’s been built up… the stages of grief, personal and political, you gotta go through it to get through it.
my show has not been Anime Issaka though, it’s been Criminal Minds. It’s just been a comforting copaganda show that is bringing me peace seeing the bad guys getting caught and feeling like there’s a balance. I’m on season 9 now.
I think Justin may have been on to something when he said he took the day off after the election. In addition the general life stuff, I felt so heavy the day after. In my heart, I saw this coming but I so wanted things to be different. My anger stems from people just lacking plain, damn common sense. This man is a liar, piss pore business man, and a bigot. Wtf
Listened to a political analyst talk about the election results. He said that if the economy stays the same and doesn’t get worse, were going to see Republicans stay in control… and probably flip some Democratic strongholds. He said people won’t move unless it’s really hurting them personally. I can see that being true. I’ve noticed more people are saying Trump’s policies won’t affect them directly.
They say it possibly to make themselves feel somehow ok, and I understand it.
You can live on alert all the time. It will kill you and it will help no one.
Thanks, Karen, for speaking about crying over the election results recently. I voted no in the poll, but I think I’m probably going to have to have a good cry over it soon.
I was also really super sad and it was important to feel it. I was sad that terrible people can be as bad as they want to and getting a reward. About all the racism.
And all the other stuff I don’t need to tell you about.
Now it’s better, I realized that I am allowed to distance myself from it all. Concentrating myself on being nice in my life to others. And knowing that everything in life has an end. Even the worst dictator has an expiration date.
Anger, rage, grief, ahhhh … I too I’m in a much better place now. First step was listening to TBGWT & knowing that I wasn’t alone in feeling how I felt, 2nd was recording an episode on the election where a lot of our rage could be felt, the 3rd was my 6 year old hustling me last week. Got me real good, I knew it was time to get through the fire and get back at Rod for disrespect of middle names (proud of the kid too). So I went to Apia’s country for some good beverage. Truth be told, I can’t dwell for too long hopelessness, it awakens the Kraken of the River Nun. Nobody wants that, let’s all have some of that
MUSTAAAAAAAAAAARD!
I laughed out loudly when Rod said:
We ALL know the grandfathers theme, it slaps!
Turn that shit up!
