We're Not Sorry For Killing Ourselves

So there's this guy that's subscribed to this blog that said he likes reading it, and after a particularly lengthy stretch of not-blogging, asked me if I was letting him down.

Not that that's a bad thing to say, because that encouraged me to write more often, but sometimes when I don't post all the time, that moment plays through my head, and I feel really bad. So yeah. Thanks I guess? Don't feel bad.

It's kinda late. Like eleven o'clock late. I don't typically consider that late, but there is, of course, required events in the morning, so that makes things more fun...

This post might be a little less optimistic than some of the others, but remember what I said: "If I'm not being optimistic, I'm at the very least realistic." So this is just gonna be pretty straightforward.

We've screwed the earth over big time.

Almost one-hundred scientists from like forty different countries came to the conclusion that unless something changes with the way we all live, we've got about 20 years left. That being said, we do have those twenty years to make some changes. Will we though?

Forget what I said about the optimist/realist thing.

*prepares self for some unusual pessimistic thoughts*

I honestly don't think this world has got those twenty years. Everybody in the world is too focused on global domination or taxes or tariffs or Trump or the disappointing last season of Game of Thrones or Taylor Swifts new album or KPop and their weird ways or Billie Eilish for some odd reason or whether or not dairy is bad for you or if vaccines cause autism or if dogs are color-blind or if a lady should/shouldn't make a wedding cake for some gay people or when Notre Dame will be fully repaired or the wall at the border or blah blah blah...........

Those things are all pretty temporary I would say. We could survive without all of that for the most part. You know whats not temporary?

OUR FRICKIN EXISTENCE

Do what you've gotta do to do your part. Buy a bamboo toothbrush instead of a plastic one. Use paper instead of plastic at the store. Turn off the lights when you leave the room. Don't use straws. Maybe don't throw your trash out the window onto the side of the road. Simple stuff.

Eventually there's gonna be a single action that'll "break the camel's back", and you never know which one it'll be, so get at it. Start doing things.

The money donated to rebuild Notre Dame after their fire could've cleaned up the giant floating trash island in the ocean that you always see pictures of. I get that Notre Dame is super artsy and cool and stuff, but you know whats artsier and cooler?

OUR FRICKIN EXISTENCE

THE ANIMALS FRICKIN EXISTENCE

THE WORLDS FRICKIN EXISTENCE

We're killing ourselves and we're not even sorry about it.

*cools down to realist/optimist mode*

That being said, there's a chance we'll make it through. I mean, we all joined together and wiped out Nazi Germany in a little over five years. We took out Polio pretty quick. We're kinda good at procrastinating our well-being as a planet. Let's hope that we don't mess this up.

I want to grow old with somebody, have a family, experience life's happiest moments, etc.

If any of you screw this up, my dead body will crawl over to your dead body after this all ends, and make you a dead^2 body.
