State of the Doughbeast Address, End of 2017
7 years ago
2017 was hard on bloody everyone, but for me, being a step removed from the nation most stressed by the year, I still wasn't spared.
I did not find a job at all this year. I did some under the table work, but that means I'll be filling out my Tax Return this year with an income of ZERO, and what Revenue Canada will do with this info terrifies me. I'm afraid I'm gonna be led in proverbial chains to all those ineffective programs I saw in the past: The NINE MONTH, 40 hr/week class on writing my resume and taking interviews, the program that only cares if you're employed, not gainfully or reasonably, or some damn trades program (I am NOT skilled with my hands).
Moreover, the latter part of year, the major theme was Loved Ones Losing Loved Ones. Three different people I know lost someone close to them. I was a step too removed from the departed to feel a lot for them, but I still had to watch important people to me have their limits tested.
Lastly, I'm becoming a bit more angry. The L'appel du vide ("Call of the Void" the term for little morbid thoughts you have) has been very strong, even for tinier calls like hauling off on people verbally. I don't like this person developing in me at all...
I can only hope 2018 is better to us all. Sorry for the pity party.

Well, just because the last year was sucky doesnt mean it will happen again. If you ever need a helping paw I am here for you, man. Lets hope 2018 is a bigger opportunity for us to overcome any problem or to at least end it with a smile.
