Shortest Rant Ever

Shortest Rant Ever

A annnn! l THeRe fore Lad’ : AmI was going to write a rant today. It was going to be a blistering diatribe about something that was really pissing me off.

But as I opened the Pages file to get started, I realized that I was breaking my own cardinal rule.

Why? Because I didn't have any idea what I was going to say. This had a lot to do with the fact that last night I saw a great ball game, had some delicious ginger cookies and a full night’s sleep.

I woke up this morning with nothing in particular on my mind. Nothing in all the stuff that would normally piss me off that jumped out at me screaming “Write about me, doofus!”

This has a lot to do with the fact that I am weaning myself off writing about American politics, on the advice of my very smart sister, who told me I would eventually go crazy trying to make sense out of all that.

So here I am. A ranter in search of something to be pissed off about.

Don’t worry though. This is just a temporary aberration. Something will come along. Something always does.

In the meantime, I’m going to take a ride to Giant Tiger and cop some more of those ginger cookies. They are obviously doing wonders for my disposition.

Have a great weekend everybody. And I apologize for being so fucking happy.

I'M A CANADIAN AND AMERICANS ARE NOT My sister, who reads a lot more about US history than | do, told me that | need to stop judging what goes on in America by Canadian standards. Because Canada is a social democracy and most Americans believe that's just SUISTTRveV ol saying that we're communists Regardless of the difference in ideologies, | hold firm to my opinion that you folks have fucked up bigly by electing Trump to be your fearless leader. This has nothing to do with understanding American politics or the American way of life, but everything to do with the fact that he is a nasty little racist, sexist turd with deep problems between his ears who could very easily end up ruining your beautiful country. | wish you all the best, and hope you can rid yourself of this cancer soon.

Well this week there has been a dearth of domald trumpism so i guess that is good reason why no rant. Save them up for a rsally good target.

Lyon Brave. There's nothing wrong with writing about it. I think that for me, it's getting old. I've been going at this for two years now and he's still there screwing up the country.

Nicole Chardenet. You're probably right. Ranting about insanity kinda makes you feel insane yourself. But also, I'm trying to back off and let this asshold dig his own grave. Sooner or later he's gonna make himself an easy target because he's gonna start pissing off the wrong people.

Sorry, John Rylance. I have never had writer's block. I have had days where I didn't feel like writing. Like today. Today I just wasn't particularly pissed off about anythng. That is not to say that I am mostly pissed off about almost everythng all the time.

Writers block how painful I blame the ginger biscuits. They seem to have had an effect on your normal verbal diarrhoea. Enjoy the weekend, something or someone will get the juices going again.
