Bye Bye 2019
6 years ago
(and don't let the door smack yer ass on the way out)
For me personally, or if I was a sports team, 2019 was a 'rebuilding year' after all the crap I contended with before that. My finances have stabilized and improved somewhat (They must be getting better - I've been buying more crap I don't need), I adopted a very nice and only slightly insane dog, and I got into Twitter after the Great Tumblr Dump of 2018. My home town was less fortunate, hit by more and larger tornadoes than usual, along with its first mass shooting, at least that I'm aware of. Hard to say if 2020 will be a step up or down for me or the rest of the world. I already know it will undoubtedly be a year-long political shitshow in my land, which will result in a horrible swirling vortex of butthurt for some group(s) of people regardless of the final outcome. Not much to do but try to enjoy the ride where possible, and hope for the best, or the least worst.
Happy New Year, folks.

2020, I have a feeling, will be a rebuilding year for everyone. This is, after all, the election year, and in a day and age when the Troll Party insists on treating EVERYTHING as a partisan issue, that's going to be hard to avoid.
That was actually how my year started. I was on the bus when the ball dropped and some drunken shit-bag who thought the rule against drinking in a moving vehicle didn't apply to him screamed at the first person who told him to get off (among other things) "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?!!"
*puts on rubber gloves and a splash guard* Alright 2020. We're ready.
May it bring fortune, good tidings and happy memories
