Thinking deeply…

We’ve arrived.  Or have we?

A new year which, like most turns of the yearly calendar, brings the hope of change, especially if we’re looking back on the negatives of the previous twelve months.

Sadly, lives are still being impacted by the conveyor belt of virus variants that roll along.  In some twisted way, the entire situation reminds me of that I Love Lucy episode in the candy factory.  Funny then but, now, as our government has about as much control where this ongoing pandemic is concerned as Lucy and Ethel did managing the chocolate…it borders on being pathetic.

People both vaxxed and boosted are getting slammed with the Omicron variant.  But (gotta focus on the “buts” here) being vaccinated makes getting infected sooooo much less worse!  Correct?  Well, let me throw this out, boys and girls…antibodies!!  Why hasn’t antibody testing been put in the forefront of the medical field before people line up for booster after booster?  I’m curious to learn if those getting through an initial bout of COVID-19 have a higher level of antibodies than those who have had multiple injections and…have COVID survivors fallen victim to the parade of variants that keep emerging?  Deep thoughts here and I’m anxious to hear some feedback.  Someone, anyone?  Ferris Bueller?

A reminder here that, since this is MY space on the global network highway, I maintain the right to speak my mind.  I focus on a great deal of sarcasm to help override any deep thoughts which might make my writing less interesting.  And, of course, anyone reading what I share can simply move on, taking my “thanks for stopping by!” 

That being stated, I’m moving on to a few things which have irked the hell out of me, no, make that…pissed me off!  I’ll start with the hierarchy of our country, President Howdy Doody and his second, Vice President Minnie HaHa.  Names have been changed to bombard the guilty.

At the height of his campaign, President Doody claimed that “he would bring an end to the virus” as he threw snowballs into the fires of Hell.  Now, the man advises everyone to “learn to live with it.”  The thought process (make that thought-less) of this man ranges from maddening to terrifying and drops down to piteous.  But, hey, ya’ll disliked The Donald, and I respect your opinions, but…holy crap…how are you sleeping at night with President Doody driving the bus?

On a much angrier note, Vice President HaHa had the audacity to compare the January 6, 2021 Capitol Riots to the historical, monumental and tragic events of Pearl Harbor and 9/11.  This woman epitomizes the cruelest of jokes where political representation is concerned and should get the Nobel Idiot Prize for her constant displays of illiteracy and ignorance. 

So, here we are.  January 2022.  Yes, we’ve arrived, and it will be a crap shoot, probably well into November of this year before we can look back on any positive change.

Once again, these are my deep thoughts and I’m sticking to every damn one of them!
