Sorry, I don't really have any ideas for a better title, but at least it's direct and to the point.

It has not been a pleasant past few months. Money has been very, very tight, I was involved in a car accident (no injuries, but I'm going to be getting my car back from the shop soon), my grandpa (on my dad's side) died last month, and my dad's cancer has spread to his brain. I don't think I'm getting out of the 2020's without some kind of substance abuse problem.

Then there's the larger issues going on. I have a feeling that we're seeing the end of the United States. Trust in our government is virtually non-existent, the Republicans are full-on corrupt, and the Democrats are just incompetent and stupid. We have a comic book villain effectively running our nation right now, and the big orange cunt is making brazen threats against our allies that should have been shut down immediately after he made the threats but that's not happening because the majority of the people who could even be bothered to fucking vote decided they wanted the orange cunt. I wasn't exactly happy that I had to pick between Harris and Trump, but it was an easy enough choice considering what we've seen with Trump. I have a feeling I'm going to lose a lot of friends and family as things continue to get worse, and I don't even know what things will look like here in two years, nevermind four. I don't think our nation will even last two more years.

Sorry I don't have anything more hopeful to update all of you with. It's been a very long past several months and I haven't really had much in the way of updates aside from Dad's still sick, my country sucks, I'm drinking and getting stoned most of the time, and barely making ends meet.
