Another day gone and the relative number of fucks I give grows dangerously low. I wonder if I will be left with anything resembling a filter at the end of all this?
Nothing we can do for now, except try to stay positive and ignore the stress, desperation and fear that is circumnavigating the general public. I am doing my best to ignore these negative states of mind, however it has become difficult as they are beginning to have physical manifestations including:
- eczema of the scalp
- hair loss
- acne
- tooth pain and sensitivity (from overnight grinding of the teeth)
The behavioral manifestations are not much better, as they include:
- unstable mood/abrupt and random bursts of sobbing
- an overwhelming to begin drinking in the shower at 2/3pm each day
- bouts of sitting in silence contemplating the universe and the meaning of life, if there even is one.
I am not dramatic.
BUT I AM NOT HERE TO GET YOU DOWN! I’m here to tell you that even though things are a little tough right now, you can still have a nice booty.
Which is why I am inviting you to follow along with my…
