I've seen enough, and I haven't even been looking at News all day

Here I am halfway down the Latest page and a quick look at Home...and I'm sick again.

wow, it's really happening, isn't it?

All these "false starts"...Y2K, 2012, Twin Towers, etcetc... THIS is how it goes down...

The only thing now is for the Planet to finish us off first

I wont even watch Rachel and I am really trying to avoid socials as much as humanly possible. Which isnt hard considering I'm doing school and rebuilding my webpage.

It's too much to take it all in at once, you know.

My eyes are open, I'll hope to do the right thing for me and mine, breathe in and out, and try to live to another day.
