let’s drown baby new year.
i think what also seemed to make the year drag on a little slower is that the news suckered me in. i started reading whole articles, and not just be the kinda of guy who reads headlines, and assume i got the ‘gist’ of it before forwarding it to my entire address book. that’s what clueless aunts are for. and there seemed to be a lot of news this year, focusing on the over arching theme of ‘aren’t people dicks?’. the answer is…. well, the loud ones sure are. i invite you to join me on my new years resolution, ‘no more reading the comments sections of anything’. except for my own comic. you guys are great. i feel pretty good about this little space i’ve carved out.
i realize now why half the internet is cats doing stupid crap. it’s to balance out the other half. so, maybe that’s the trick, focus on the right half. and maybe that’s the way we should approach 2017. and that’s as optimistic as i get.
so, have yourself a merry little christmas, or kwanza, or hanukkah, or whatever you do. festivus seems fun, and less deity based, you could try that. i don’t go in for any of it, but time off is time off. have a drink and a laugh, and i’ll see you in the new year!
It’s about to get her mom, Debbie Reynolds, too.
and then it did. ah well. interesting times.
Happy Chrismahaunnakwanzaadan! But yeah, internet comments on news stories tend to have more dicks than a gay nudist party. And I think you’re right that cat videos are so popular. A way to reclaim a spark of happiness when your computer catches fire from everything else.
i think that the silliness and mild laughs are a good balance to the heaviness, and the hate.
“I was drowning my sorrows, But my sorrows they’d learned to swim…”
The new year will learn to swim. And then we’ll have to figure out what to do about that. I just hope it won’t learn to swim with a knife in its teeth…
troubles with fricken lasers on their heads. haha. 2017 will be better. or, at least we’re numb to it at this point.
A wonderful philosophy, and one I fully intend to uphold with you! It’s Internet rule #1: Don’t feed the trolls. I hope you have a great year’s end. I just have to make it through family Christmas celebrations, my birthday, and New Year’s, then I am fully prepared to set the drinking aside completely! I doubt I’ll ever sleep again, but at least my liver will thank me. Oh, and 2016 almost snagged Carrie Fisher yesterday! Zsa Zsa doesn’t count. She died five years ago. Her husband has been keeping her body alive all these years while he fights her kids for her money.
not almost, as it turn out. rip carrie fisher. still, she went out on a high, got to see her movie, reprised her role, and outted harrison ford as kind of a lech.
and yeah, trolls should starve. but there’s alot of them out there.
