I am going to have to wrap up 2014 on a down note. I’m usually a great optimist, and I try to live in the moment but several situations have negated this possibility\u00a0for the start of the year.<\/p>\n
1) I lost a friend that I no longer communicated with over inane roommate\u00a0complications. \u00a0There was no obituary posted, I can’t figure out if they’ve had a memorial service and I feel a bit lost at sea about it.<\/p>\n
2) A family friend died on the same day.\u00a0Seriously 2014, why.<\/p>\n
3) We lost Robin Williams and Phillip Seymour Hoffman too soon. But I understand why. I understand. I just keep telling myself that to move on.<\/p>\n
4) Another airline lost and limited technology to track it down. We’re minutes from 2015 and we haven’t pulled our collective heads out of our asses to make advancements for the safety of human lives a priority. We’re apparently just meat, and we’ll continue to think of each other as just meat until the computers take over and turn us into batteries.<\/p>\n
5) Racism. What the fuck? \u00a0It’s 2015 and a woman younger than me with all that comes with that advantage\u00a0should be capable of open-minded thinking. But when her\u00a0child says her mother won’t let her use an iPad app because she might talk to black boys, I nearly had a heart attack.<\/p>\n
I’m going to do my best to stand tall, head up, and think good thoughts for the remainder of the year. 2015 can’t be\u00a0worse right?<\/p>\n
