Why have I selected shots aimed firmly at the ground this week? Well, I am always fascinated about what randomness you stumble upon as you go about your daily & nightly business. They say you can learn a lot about the society you live in from the rubbish people throw out. Really have no idea who ‘they’ are in this instance but as my random findings include sex, drugs, gloves and takeout paraphernalia I would say ‘they’ are pretty bang on.
But I am also averting your gaze downwards because we just need to keep our heads down and get through this…and we will get through this. But in terms of how you play it is entirely up to you. Don’t buckle for others, don’t succumb to peer pressure, we all have to make our own decisions based on our own conclusions. As I have I said previously the days of consensus are over. It’s a shame as that is what is desperately required but it’s clearly not happening so we might as well admit and work around it.
We all know that the only real chance we have to reign this mofo in is to stay the fuck away from each other but whether you feel able to do that or not will be up to you. Being apart from each other is clearly not good for our mental health and that might be more important for you to preserve than your physical health so we all need to do whatever we need to do to survive this.
You wanna wear a mask in bed, barricade yourself in your house, move to the moon, or if you would rather say fuck it and hug and kiss everyone you come into contact with and party like its 2019, whatever, it’s on you. All I will say, having contracted the virus in March and am still suffering from it 9 months later, you really don’t want this thing if you can avoid it. It ain’t ‘just like the flu’ and it ain’t a hoax. Trust me on this.
This is my last post of the year. And yup, its been a weird one alright. Is next year gonna be better? Its a pretty low bar to beat let’s be honest so let’s go with yes. I would at this stage normally wish you all a happy xmas and all that but as it is likely to be cancelled I will just quote the late great Douglas Adams:
“So long and thanks for all the fish…” And see you in 2021!
