Holy mackerel.
The Blog-O-Meter flipped one million today. When did I start this thing? 2014? Many thousands of those hits were probably porn, spam, and Russian bots... but at least a few have to be legit, HAR HAR HAR!!!
When I started this blog it was as a virtual rubber room where I could come in, put on my straight jacket and some restful elevator music ... and decompress. My career was going well and we were financially on track... but that was it. I was still drinking too much back then because other than my career... my life was in flames. My daughter was going off the rails. My in-laws were in our affairs and refused to back out. My marriage was starting to crack at the seams.
Things started to give. My daughter ran away to join the circus of homosexuals and SJWs and cultural fascists in BC and I haven’t seen her since. My in laws were in the middle of that too, stirring up the pot with sadistic glee. I parted ways with them too. I didn’t recognize them anymore, and I was fed up with their BS. A broken heart and mild insanity was preferable to putting up with virtue signalling lunatics like that.
Somehow my marriage survived though and is now better than ever. We had our 35th anniversary this year. We found a little church out in the country filled with nice folks that think the way we do. The wife is a big wheel there and they love her as much as I do. As for me... I’m 56 years old this year. And I am still as lost in life as I was when I was 16. The last 5 or 6 years have been a helluva ride. The politics and economics of the next 5 or 6 promise more turmoil and upsets. All I know is that my Maker placed me here for whatever reason, and I intend to stay here until I’m called home.
Thank you all for taking the time to share the road, your time and your company. It means more to me than you could ever know.
Cheers.
