Well, so much has already happened in 2021, like 2020 just ended. Some good and some bad, but really wow. I am just really hoping that it will not turn out to be another 2020, to be honest. I remember at the beginning of the pandemic that experts said that we might not be rid of it as fast as everyone thought, and while at the time it made sense, it’s still sad to think about how a lot of the US hasn’t learned jack shit about this.
So, if you are in the United States I think you know what today is, and I really hope you have already voted by now. This post was going to go up a few hours ago, but the cable company thought it was a good time to take down the cable and internet for maintenance on election day. I’m not sure what part of makes sense but yeah. I did have another blog plan, but considering what today is I thought it will be good for later because let’s face my hometown will be just as trashy tomorrow as today, if not more so.
In a way, this is can be called a followed up to my last blog, but it really wasn’t meant to be one. I was inspired by watching a documentary, go figure. It was called After Parkland and it was on Hulu, and like the other documentary, I also cried a lot.
I’ve been watching a lot of different documentaries lately, and they really make you think. A lot of them have been about crime, but a good bit has been about social issues and the government. They have been very interesting to say the very least. My generation Millenials and in an extension Gen Z have been through a lot throughout our lifetime.
One of the first things I remember learning in church when I was a child was that one should never pledge their allegiance to anything but God or the lord. Yet, the same people would pledge and show allegiance to the flag, the country, and different political figures. I remember being very bothered by this as a child because the same people telling me in the church not to do this, was the same telling me to do it. Why was one thing okay but the other not?
