Halloween 2018, I'm feeling Malachi Constant

Vas, I think they did have a supertyphoon around the same time but IDC I'm just gonna hang out on my front porch and creep the gently caress out of the neighbors by playing banjo every time someone walks past my house.

There are good reasons that it's the instrument of choice for toothless hillbillies everywhere. Four strings, Five fingers? we cool. Six strings, Five fingers? No. No. You go to hell and you die, guitar.

Press conference w/ local sheriff and PD chief now states total of 7 officers shot, they were there to serve a search warrant for child sex abuse and all the kids were home while all this was going on. Shooter hit three deputies who were initially serving warrant and fired on additional responders from second story window while they attempted to treat the first three.

Never.

No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we shall live forever or die by suicide.

I stopped speaking with my family after the election. We weren't on great terms at all already and they are all super super evangelists who all voted for Trump because he was 'God's anointed'. 2016 was enough for me to just write them off all the way.

I still send something for Christmas each year along with a donation receipt in their name to either Planned Parenthood or the ACLU because I'm a catty bitch. 2016 was a nice embossed card with the entirety of the "Grab them by the pussy" quote inside, 2017 was a tiny golden calf. Any ideas on a trolling gift for this year?

We used to have a small painting up at Christmas that was Santa claus kneeling in front of a cross. If I had artistic skills I'd probably have it with Santa in front of a burning cross or something. I feel like there's something better though...

My dad died sometime in 2016. Not literally, rather the man that raised me to respect women, tell the truth, and accept responsibility for my actions died sometime in 2016. He was killed by right-wing media and replaced with an angry husk who runs on spite and resentment who emotionally (and almost certainly physically) abuses my mother and has completely bought into the CHUD narrative. He called me a month or so back to tell me his cancer was back and I felt nothing. I feel bad saying it but it's the truth.

My dad drank the koolaid in the early 80s before I was born and took pride in having "Chickenhawk" as his CB radio handle back when he was trucking. My mom, who was the person your dad used to be, died for reals in 2016 and my dad has always been your newdad. He texted me last month for the first time in 2 years to ask if I wanted to buy his car and then again the next day to say he has kidney cancer. I still haven't replied. Stay strong brother, you are not alone.
