un-clogging

With all that has been going on, that’s what we need: un-clogging.

It’s Friday. Folks are into “Happy Friday”, “Happy Hour” etc…

But it’s not at this time. The funny thing about Ukraine is that US is more worried e.g. will inflation get worse, how about BA2.0 (new Omicron variant) and Wall Street is rattled.

That’s all. Or else, it’s just a normal long weekend, commemorating past Presidents.

We’re all going to join them; deadth by assassination or from resignation.

My first American presidents were Gerald Ford (owed him a debt of gratitude), then Carter etc..after that, they all seemed to be younger e.g. G.W. Bush, Obama….then bang! Biden, on world stage with Putin and Jinping.

At least, Biden doesn’t receive any love letters (tucked away somewhere among the 150 boxes in Palm Beach ) from N Korea Dr Evil.

Don’t mean to be funny or anything. Just the way things are. Big guns and bigger guns. Taking the world hostages… for 6 million dollars ransom. or 6 billion (having been away in a deep freeze).

We all spend our allowance on G.I. Joe’s and toy guns. Except now they are real. And they kill.

After all, too many people live way past their prime (thanks to all those vaccines) and productive years.

Gotta have a way to get rid of them e.g. climate change, war and famine.

Back in cave-days, we at least co-operated (against bigger Dinosaurs). The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Not now. Since we have
extra life for and extra means to connect, but it doesn’t translate into better cooperation.

Everyone is out to make money via social media on us.

We are all “employed” to do ghost work (non-compensated). And we are so naive and gullible to keep doing it ( how do we convert Likes into tangibles like bit coins!).

All the while, complaining why inflation is eating up at our slice of pizza. And how much the likelihood of war and eruption in Ukraine will affect us. Of course, it will and has dragged stocks down. Back during WWII, it’s the Japanese American on the West coast that got locked up due to war eruption abroad. So what happens somewhere else affects the here/now directly.

Just wake up (when the booze weans and wears off after Happy Hour). See for yourself.

We “can’t handle the truth”.

All those ideal and abstract notions like truth, justice, peace and love. They are and remain so: abstract and ideal notions, to be strived for, but never obtained. Nice try.

Now pat ourselves on the back. Happy Friday. It is what it is.

Life. The only real thing, not Coke. Everything else? illusions to be un-clogged.
