In between all the insanity, which I do not recommend for anyone, I've been creating my own art, which has always been a hobby of mine going back to the very first day of my blogging experience.
As a matter of fact, as of tomorrow, I've been banging on this keyboard for exactly 21 years in total.
It was by accident that I started my own blog on the day Hunter Thompson died 21 years ago. I was depressed because of the football season. I was a secret Raider fan back then, but that was like 10 coaches and 15-20 QBs ago. Who can keep track? My son, who was a baby at the time, has grown up, maintained a 4.0 through high school, graduated from college, and is now deciding which law school to attend. The kid is awesome, and he wasn't even born the last time the Raiders went to the bowl.
My daughter, who was the source of numerous anecdotes over the years, is now married with a toddler. I'm not giving any further information to protect her from the sickos,
A lot of my old friends are gone, and none of them by natural causes, which is concerning to say the least. We can pull up the articles and go through that entire process, but why bother now? All that matters is that I escaped alive. What am I supposed to do?
Looking back a few years, it would seem the Grim Reaper obtained a list of my recent contacts and went through it like a hot knife in butter. Whatta fucking coincidence! Very strange, considering all the other security concerns I've highlighted since the divorce. Strange days indeed!
But I'm sure it's all in my mind, I'm paranoid. I keep screaming somebody tried to kill me, my boss died under mysterious circumstances, two of my former coworkers, as well as another parent from the taekwondo center, were murdered. Plus, there were a couple of more people I met who were on the 6 o'clock news, the victims of a random carjacking, both occupants shot and killed. Fuck me, it was like living in Tombstone.
I wonder what the common thread was?
Before you say it was me, I was out of the state when two of the killings happened.
So many coincidences, so many tragedies and near-tragedies. That was the day I decided it was a great idea to leave. I went into lockdown, who wouldn't? Big city, turn me loose and set me free.
It's been three years, and I've done my best to pick up the pieces and move forward without crying or asking anybody for anything, not even a kind word.
Ashleigh. Is the only person I trust, and she's a dog. We're cowboys in Wyoming now.
We need to go to the art store and get the appropriate materials for a little Bob Ross clinic. Those creations were generated by AI from photos to watercolors, giving me a color spectrum. We will see how it goes.
