Waiting for The Other Shoe

I have this affliction where I can't get excited for happy news.  It seems I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  You know the shoe... the one that drops and makes all your happy go away and generally makes you look like a fool for ever being optimistic?  Yeah, that one.

Maybe it's a function of the era when I grew up.  Gen X'ers are not the most optimistic of people, as a general rule.  Or something.  Maybe it's yet another thing I can blame on my head injury.  It could also be due to some crushing disappointment somewhere along the way that I can't point to specifically.  :shrug:  

So, I'm reserving my glee until Big T actually gets sworn in.  Until then many things could actually derail it.  I don't expect the Dems to accept this defeat with grace.

We'll see.

  1. Watched her "consession" speech this afternoon. Wasn't exactly gracious but also not exactly throwing down the gauntlet either. I admit to some amount of glee at watching all the melt-downs. Oh, and some YouTube dude has accused Elon of "murdering" the legacy media. Uhm...no. They pretty much committed suicide. Also, good thing you don't trigger or I'd have to be using asterics and stuff in those words to make them more socially acceptable. Two and a half months. We'll just have to keep our eyes open for mischief.

    Hang in there and chin up!
