Sat Mar 20:
Today is International Happiness Day or International Day of Happiness. You can check out happiness.com (i think) or just search Google. I hope you are happy. Shit doesn’t have to be perfect or go your way for you to love yourself and your life. The theme for this year is “Be Kind, Stay Calm and Wise.”
Cowards are beating up Elderly Asians in the US, and hate speech targeting Asians is happening here too. Those giant jackasses better not be Black. I’ve never understood how people who’ve experienced the pain of being hated, can hate others. When I used to watch the evening news with me mum, if a crime story started, she’d be hoping the perp wasn’t Black. “We’re already vilified; we don’t need any more bad press.” Something like that she’d say.
What’s it gonna take to bring out the best in us! If not a pandemic, then what! Remember that M. Knight movie where people were committing suicide. The Happening, maybe. A change-wind will sweep the planet and eradicate all hateful people. If the wind can’t blow the hate out of their entire being, then they will walk until they find a large enough body of water to drown in because all they will do is teach other people, including little ones, to hate. That should be our next extinction-level event. Ok – let’s talk about something else before I start crying.
It’s about that time for me to turn off my news notifications again, maybe permanently this time – I can’t deal. The only reason I even started paying attention to the news in the last few years was cause I figured having some knowledge of current affairs will make it easy for me to talk to folks at work/work events.
I went to the mall, and I had mango bubble tea from Real Fruit. Dee wanted to have a BBQ, but it’s still a bit chilly out. My island rating is now 4/5 stars – K.K. is gonna come soon and perform. Wouldn’t it be nice if all the running around and digging and chopping I did on RainbowSun translated to real-life exercise. Oh yeah!
Did you dance today?
You should read Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. It’s a quick read!
The trick was to know that his true nature lived, as perfect as an unwritten number, everywhere at once across space and time … Keep working on love.”
From Jonathan Livingston Seagull
