Summer of Thy Discontent

Jay Inslee made it MANDITORY in our state to wear a mask when out in public.  I totally don't agree with our governor's decision.  This Covid-19 lock-down needs to end.  IF you fear the sickness that much, stay home.  God knows I don't want the elderly to suffer.  But for Pete's sake we're in the HEAT of summer and I have to wear a mask in the CONSTRUCTION YARD I'm working at!!

Too much.  2020 IS the summer of thy discontent:

Still can't go to the movies.  

Still can't go to the mall and get clothes.

Can't go to church.

Starbucks doesn't even have seating in Bonney Lake yet. 

No sporting events to watch.  (NASCAR and boxing don't count) I'm talking Major League Baseball, and the NBA. 

Do you dishonor America, or honor America when THE NATIONAL ANTHEM is playing?!!

Speaking of sports, in football with all the Black Lives Matter bending of the knee in the NFL, I'm out.  The Left's political movement ruin everything.  Now I don't even wanna watch the NFL even if it does come back.  The summer of thy discontent will spill on to fall in this regard.

Black lives matter.  A sentence you can't disagree with--because they do!  Black lives matter, there I said it.  And not only did I say it, but I meant it.  And I think the rest of America in onboard with that sentiment too.  The civil rights movement has been won.  The good guys won, and now people ALL ethnicities have equal access to the American dream.  Not only do black lives mater, but ALL lives matter.  Matter to God, and they should matter to you too.  A movement that looked legit with the police brutality death of George Floyd, is starting to looks like a catalyst for anarchy.  Just this past Saturday a group of Black Lives Matter mob members invaded a Target in Washington D.C., and started threatening people if their demands weren't met. 

Hey, what happened to George Floyd should have never happened to anyone, black, Asian, or otherwise.  It seems to me the farther we get past that tragic event the REAL motivations behind the Black Lives Matter are becoming more and more evident.  The Black Lives Matter Movement's end-goal isn't racial equality--it's overthrowing capitalism and the rule of law in the United States!  The Black Lives Matter Movement isn't seeking racial peace and harmony it is sowing fear, violence and mistrust in the United States of America.    

I don't want a civil war in America, but you can't help but wonder; as the radical Left gets crazier and crazier.  I hear a lot of chatter from celebrities on Twitter and many of them spew crazy rhetoric.  And what's so sad is that their bent on tearing a system down that made them all rich.  Last week one my tweets on Twitter got flagged.  Needlessly so.  All I did was tweet to Sean Hannity that one of the occupiers in Seattle's autonomous zone was asking white people to find a random black person and give them $10.  Is that extortion?  I'm not sure I commented that this guy was like a retard running a church tithe offering -- and Twitter made me delete the tweet.  Is that fair?  I didn't think so.  They had an appeals process, but it never happened.  Leaving me with no choice but to delete that Tweet. 

Thankfully, Dan Bongino and group started Parler; a free-speech alternative to Twitter.  I've been on Parler for almost a week now, and I can say it's not as good as either Facebook or Twitter; but at least they don't censor you over there.   Mostly good people over there on Parler too.  Today, I meet some jerks who were spouting Leftist nonsense and trying to cause a ruse.  But Parler has mostly good people in it.  Godly men and women who love this country.  A far cry from the Leftist overlords at Twitter and Facebook.

 

Getting closer to finishing an improved draft of LOVE AT GREAT COST; book III in the Legend in Thars series.  Been a long time coming on that...  When that's done I'm going to re-read and fine tune all three manuscripts and add chapter beginning artwork to them all. 

Besides that I'm also plotting up two new spec scripts.  One will be a sequel to SO BACK & GET HER, the other is a big creature sci-fi in the vein of GAMERA in the world of PLANET OF THE APES (1968).   Really looking forward to penning up both of these.  Hope to have them both done by the end of year -- unless a civil war breaks out, or the U.S. economy crashes; which is a real possibility thanks to Nanci Pelosi and the AWFUL Democratic mayors who letting are great nation go to shit!

Keep hearing the polls say Joe Biden is ahead in the presidential polls.  Omygawd, can people really be THAT stupid!  Joe Biden is a dope!!  Right now Joe Biden is hiding in his basement hoping he doesn't have to face the press because he can't even make out complete sentences anymore!!  

Lotta factors out of my control in the summer of my discontent.  But as long as I have power and my computer, I will be writing.  Maybe if I'd been born in a easier era I'd be further along in my career.  But cancel culture is real, and some IDIOTS have bought into it.  Toppling statues is just an outward sign of IDIOTS who prefer slavery over a free market system that has constructs which allows people to get rich.  

You have been LIED to by the Democratic Party.  This whole time they said Donald Trump was a dictator when all along their poor governance leads to a totalitarian society, a dictatorship.  Anyway, I LOVE Hollywood.  I LOVE the movies.  But I will NEVER vote Democrat without some serious reforms to who and what they stand for.

2020 symbol of the Democrat Party:

No matter how bleak the summer of thy discontent gets remember to fight the good fight. 

Put Jesus first.  Let the rest sort itself out.  If you read the bible, you know how the story ends... 

Jesus wins!   

North of 5115

Passed another milestone this last Wednesday, I turned 51 years old!  That means I've only got 9 years until I'm 60!  Kinda makes me wish I could turn those numbers around and be 15 again.  Yeah, back in the year of 1984 when David Lee Roth was going ballistic with songs like like "Jump" and "Panama" off their 1984 album.  Ahhh that 1984 bugger.  Today we're inching and inching closer to that Orvellian novel, 1984.  Hope we never get there, more to come on that.

Now when I was 15 I was very unpopular.  My high school years weren't kind to me.  Was pretty much a loner.  Ignored by all the girls...  Not much has changed in 36 years!  Man, I'm getting old.  ALL the numbers I throw around: 51, 36; are large ones.  But that's what happens the longer you stick around the miles, the numbers pile up, and you have no choice but to wax nostalgic for the good ol' days!

Wish my zest for life was there, but it really ins't.  The only time I seem to be happy anymore is when I playback one of my scripts in Final Draft.  Especially my last three: SO GO BACK & GET HER, THE COMMUNE: III, and WHEN THE MOTORCYCLE CALLS.  Always lifts my spirits hearing those scripts played back using Final Drafts audio playback feature.  Put so much humor in all of them.  And they look cool too.  So I guess when life sucks, at least I have that to fall back on.  I'm an interesting person.  I guess if you have to be a loner, at least be interesting.  I'm that.  Just wish more people saw it that way.  I don't like being alone all the time, and do wish I had more friends.    

In June of 1984, back when I turned 15, Billboard stated that Cindy Lauper's "Time after Time" was the the #1 song.  Omygawd is that ever an awful song!   Billboard states that the overall top song for 1984 was Prince's "When Doves Cry", which is another SHIT song.  Was looking at the Billboard charts for this week in 2020 I found that the #1 song is "Rockstar" by DaBaby.  NEVER heard that song before so I took a minute a minute to listen to some of it...  It's gawdawful rap.  HARD PASS.  The music scene is a mess these days.  Wayyy to much wrap, not enough serious artists who are making good music.  Looking back over 1984 as a whole I did find some music I liked: "Jump" by Van Halen was fun, "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springstein was good, and "You Might Think" by the Cars is EXCELLENT.  And don't forget -- 

... which kinda captures this year in more ways than one.  

Back in 1984 some of the top movies were: THE TERMINATOR, GHOSTBUSTERS, SPLASH, THE KARATE KID, INDIANA JONES & THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, BEVERLY HILLS COP, GREMLINS, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, REVENGE OF THE NERDS, ROMANCING THE STONE, RED DAWN, FOOTLOOSE.  Wow, nice crop!  1984 was a good year for movies.  2020?  Forget it.  The Corona Virus over-reaction has killed the movie season for 2020, which really got off to a whimper with the complete loss that THE RISE OF SKYWALKER was.  What a bitter disappointment that last movie in the Star Wars franchise was.  But then again it did set us up for what was to come in March, when everything went to pot.

The one nice thing about how bad today's music and movies are, is that IF you're a content creator (which I am) it's easier than ever to focus on your art and make beautiful things independent of the outside world and cancel culture.  These days even Taylor Swift has been swept up into that hoopla, as just the other day she was saying that Tennessee has some statues that she doesn't approve of and wants taken down.  RIDICULOUS!  But what are you gunna do, she's trying to appease the crazies on the left.  Hopefully someday she'll wise up to that. 

As for me, I need to tone down my drinking of beer, and start exercising again.  Get my mind right.  Get my body right.  Being 51 isn't the end of the world, I've still got some good years left (I hope), and going back to being 15 doesn't look that good either.  So why not live in my story worlds and enjoy life.  Focus on the things that bring me joy, which lately has been listening to "The Buck Sexton Show".  Buck is a radio host, who gives a mostly conservative opinion on politics in America today.  I just like how his mind works and his stick.  Maybe someday soon I'll get politically active.  I never thought I was smart enough to lead, but maybe I can lend my support to a worthy conservative candidate.  Can't ever see myself getting behind a Democrat, which has dissolved into the party of chaos and lawless anarchy.

Best find in 2020 so far?  That's easy: The Buck Sexton Show

Really hoping America rises from the shadows of this disease.  Right now it seams like the Democrats are overplaying our response to it.  We need to get back to business, open small businesses up again, and support our police.  Sure what happened to George Floyd was a tragedy.  But it doesn't justify burning buildings and putting small business owners out of business.  Seems to me there are people exploiting this, to bring chaos to the streets of America.  Totally wrong.  I'll NEVER be on-board with rioting and looting.  Hope this sad era in our nation's history ends soon.  Looking forward to the Trump rallies coming up.  They are always uplifting events.  Shows of good will towards American and American business.  I do love our country, and am ready to see better days ahead, and I progress on through my 50s.  

"Hi, my name is Anthony Fauci and I wan't you to stay locked up in your house until I say it's time to come out."

Wrong!  It's time to get out of this malaise, and get back to being the best nation on the face of the Earth!

Trump rallies are fun.  Trump rallies are PRO-AMERICAN.  USA!  USA!!  USA!!!
