Year 4, Day 345

What's Up. Today's song is I Don't Wanna Go To Bed by Simple Plan featuring Nelly.

There was a terror attack in Quebec recently where some white supremacist nut decided to shoot up a mosque. This is a big deal because Canada doesn’t have a lot of shooting historically. We've had six spree killings and 33 events classified as massacres (including multiple stabbings) since the 1600's. Sure we have our fill of crazy ass serial killers (twelve which is still less than the States), but that’s different than psychopaths attacking groups of people. But right now there is so much instability in the world (yes, America I’m blaming your politics currently) that the hate is spreading into my country. This dude who went off in Quebec is an avid Trump supporter and has been listening to the hateful rhetoric this so called leader has been spewing. I heard a comment recently asking why countries should care so much about who America has as their president...which infuriated me. Why should we care? Because he stands as your country’s representation to the rest of the world, and right now he’s representing that America is full of racist dickbags. I will say though that before I could go on a full out rant about that comment someone else said something so succinct and true that it paused my anger. “If our allies are worried, that should worry us.” Words to live by because as an ally I’m terrified about what attack is going to happen next because there sure as hell will be more.

Peace.

Hiya. Today's song is Go Big Or Go Home by American Authors.

I’m going back through my Supernatural episodes again. I had been trying to before to see if any of them has glitches or sound issues, but gave up halfway through. As much as I love the show it gets a little hard to pay close attention when you’ve watched every episode at least five times already. If you’ve seen something you tend to veer away from it and let it become background noise while you do something else, but then that makes it hard if not impossible to figure out which episodes are the ones with the problem. I’ve found about ten so far and I’m into season three now. I’ve just hit the Mystery Spot episode which I know runs perfectly…. But it’s too good not to watch. What can I say, I’m a fan.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 343

Hey everyone. So today's song is Sound of Your Heart by Shawn Hook.

I know I showed you another of his songs not even a week ago. That's my bad I messed up and didn't realize his stuff was so close together. But both songs are ones I had bookmarked for you and we're getting to the end of this year's blog. So let's all just pretend that this is something new and exciting, okay? Okay.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 342

Hi. Today's song is Your New Boyfriend by The Orion Experience.

Have you guys ever seen the game Would You Rather? I mean would you rather has pretty much always been around, but now it's in a game form for people to enjoy and collect a consensus on a large group of people. I love watching people answer because everyone thinks about the questions differently. It's easy to do since the options are pretty open ended and don't have a lot of caveats to say definitively what each option would be like. I was hanging out with Sammy and Will last night so I had them answer a couple of the questions and it was intense. They like to argue so much! The link for the game is here so you guys can check it out yourself, but be warned: it can start some shit. Good luck!

Peace.

Year 4, Day 341

Morning. Today I give you Rock Your Body by Justin Timberlake.

Netflix ruined the Archie comics. I'm so beyond upset about how much they butchered this wholesome thing. Yeah sure I know creative license and all that, you need to switch it up a bit for the new people but switching it up is totally different than what has been done. Honestly. Making Archie sleep with the teacher?! Moose is apparently closeted even though him and Midge were perfect for each other? Betty is petty rather than nice and Veronica is immediately out for Betty's best interest instead of being a stone cold bitch. AND ARCHIE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE BETTY. All of that sounds bad, but what's worse is that my favorite character was always Jughead, so I kept watching the episode with a glimmer of hope praying they at least would be kind to my guy, but no. He isn't Jughead. Jughead was an endearing idiot who was on everybody's side, but they made him the brooding know it all blogger with contempt. Which is fine, I love those kinds of characters normally but that isn't Jughead. Also casting a childhood star ruined it for me. I know Cole hasn't been around for years so that classifies him a the same kind of B-actor the rest are, but I can't unsee him in his past roles. He is not a Jughead. What sucks is everyone is going to lap this up while I mourn the loss of sunny Riverdale.

Peace.

Year 4, Day 340

Hello. Today's song is Drag Me Down by One Direction.

So my grandpa was approached by his doctor about being one of the first ones to switch to home dialysis when it's approved in the province. It sounds great. He's happy, I was happy but... that happiness immediately switched to anxiety when the words "I would need someone to help me with the needle" came out of his mouth. There's a reason I didn't take nursing like 75% of my graduating class. I hate needles with a passion. So does my grandma and my sister. We are a squeamish family. He jokingly guilt tripped my grandma, dangling holidays on the carrot, but I myself already feel guilty for how much I don't want to do it. I love my grandpa and I know I should volunteer but needles!! I don't know what to do. I need someone else's opinion. Help me?

Peace.

Year 4, Day 339

Hi Guys. So today's song is Me and My Broken Heart by Rixton.

As this blog year is starting to come to a close I'm playing happy music. Some are even my favorites from the year including this one. It's included in my songs for a bad day playlist. That makes it sound bad, but the playlist is for when I'm feeling down and is filled with songs meant to change my mood to something more optimal for dealing with people in the world. I love this song and have already convinced one person to download it so now I'm trying with you.

Peace.
