2016 shall go down in INFAMY, as far as I'm concerned.
2016 was the year that decided: "y'know...I'on e'en care! I'm fend to be TRILL!!"
And, in true TRILL fashion - 2016 came and showed it's bright red hind end quarters! We can't even ask for a "do-over"...
Do I understand that there are still 2 months, 60 some odd days to go before it's over?
Yes.
Do I understand that BECAUSE it's not over, it's gonna keep on with the effery?
UNFORTUNATELY, Yes.
Right through here, however, I give the same amount of care that 2016 gave me: 0 F's and D's.
It's not even about the PERSONAL ish that I had to deal with this year, that made it unbearable.
It was the stuff happening errywhere else that was keeping me in my feeling this year!!! Can I take a Ambien and sleep the rest of 2016 away?
Anyways, here's my list....
WHAT I WILL NOT MISS!!
-Orange. Satan. ('nuf ced.)
-Political Advertisements rehashing the grabbing of female genitalia (nope, bye!)
-White Privilege, White tears, White washing.... (oooh, I need y'all to hit the bricks!!!)
-All the damb obits this year!!! Muhammad Ali, David Bowie, Maurice White, Daryl Coley, Phife Dawg "The 5 ft. Assassin", Alan "Severus Snape" Rickman, Gary Shandling, Natalie Cole, Anton "Chekov" Yelchin, Gene Wilder, Patty Duke, Elie Wiesel, Tommy "You Ain't GOT no job" Ford, Bill "Radio Raheem" Nunn, Vanity, Nancy Reagan, Harper Lee, Glenn Frey....there's more, but I'm not going there!
-Y'ALL...we ain't even get a chance to say goodbye to PRINCE, they just buried him with no drama and pomp and circumstance (W.T.F. - I wanted my doves and Purple casket!!)
