This, That, and The Other (2025 Edition)

Here we go again...

It’s 2025 and I suppose I should put some words into the cloud. Strange Days are here, have been here, are what we have been living in for over a decade now and this fractured reality seems to be on par for 2025.

Where to begin…

Jet packs… Let’s start with Jet packs.

It’s 2025 and Jet Packs are still not a viable mode of transportation. They last maybe 11 - 21 minutes, look like junk, and jet pack technology has stalled out because everyone is focused on the damn internet.

I get the feeling that I will never have my own personal jet pack.

Not EVERYTHING is about Politics

How about this one. I see it happening a lot. I post something that has absolutely nothing to do with politics and someone will comment by linking it back to politics. No… no… no… Not everything has a link to politics and current events. Trump and Elon are not the saviors of the universe. I assure you, while the next 4 years may be better than the last 4 years, politics will still be a disaster of monumental proportions regardless.

Point being: Not every post should be looked at through a political lens. In fact… most shouldn’t. Let’s stay on topic.

Technology; Destroyer of Communication

I feel like I talk to people on Substack and online more than people IRL now. Every time I text someone from IRL, it’s a tossup as to if they text back or not. Every time I call someone IRL, they very rarely pick up the phone. Leave a message and I’ll call you back… but they rarely call back. It’s strange. All of this technology and it has only pushed people further and further apart.

Nudedragons = Soundgarden - Chris Cornell + DEI = Fuck NO!!!

This makes my soul cry out in torment and pain:

It’s blasphemy, an insult to the memory of Chris Cornell, and it needs to be cleansed with FIRE!!! WITH FIRE!!!

Same as it Ever Was…

My mantra for 2025 and the foreseeable future is, “Same as it ever was.” This is because I don’t think much is going to change (Hey political people… I’m talking about it RIGHT THE FUCK HERE so you all have the green light to comment away). I’m going to call it now (and I hope I’m wrong but…), the income tax isn’t going to be abolished, neither with the Department of Education, and the deficit will continue to be an afterthought. Same as it ever was…

We even have a theme song:

It Ain’t all Dark Clouds and Dreary Rain…

I’m sure we’ll find some fun in this new year. There’s good reading to be had on Substack. Lots of writers to choose from. Lots of stories to lose yourself in. So all of you readers out there… If you are here on Substack, then you are in the right place.

Let’s show the world that reading and writing are still relevant!!!

Happy 2025 and all that jazz…
