im just saying dumbledore would have canceled all exams

Quarantine dragging on

I took this whole quarantine serious and it’s still going on and probably not easing up anytime soon. Had I know what was coming I would have gone to visit, eaten at that restaurant or done something else that I can’t do now. Really though if you want something you make it happen. I tried and it was too late and now I am just left with what I said or didn’t say. By May, I want to do everything I couldn’t . Ah, 2021 be as wonderful as everyone hopes you will be.

Waited and waited …

CURRENT MOOD:

I think it’s time we blow this scene.

Get everybody and the stuff together.

Okay three, two, one, let’s jam!

Do you ever feel like you manifested this?

Like, intellectually I understand more or less the process of… capitalism and poor decisions and whatnot that led us here.  But do you ever feel that way?

1999, I was sitting in a college classroom debating… something.  I don’t remember.  All I remember is some smarmy jock-type guy setting my hair on fire with his ignorance, and losing my temper at him, saying something like he felt that way because he had no perspective, that all our parents and grandparents remembered where they were when Pearl Harbor and D-Day happened, when JFK was shot, when we landed on the moon, when the draft was announced for Vietnam, and “What does our generation remember?  When the OJ Simpson verdict came down?”

(I was in high school, but I was home sick, laying on the couch.  The “special report” cut into, IIRC, one of the Beastmaster movies.  Something of that ilk, anyway.  At my school, someone was running down the hall screaming “NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY!” but I wouldn’t know that ‘til later.)

(I remember 9/11, watching the towers come down over and over and over again, thinking about that class and thinking to myself I did this even though I knew rationally I hadn’t.)
