A Truly Sad Day

This Sunday was Father’s Day. You didn’t hear anything of it from me because I am estranged from my father. He is still living, but the eighteen years of bad blood stand between us; I was willing to forgive him for how I hated him, but he saw no reason to apologize for how he treated me. So while everyone else was lauding the accomplishments of fatherhood, I was left in silence, with the fear over my head that in the 0.01% chance that I have kids, I might become like my father to them in more than just appearance and role.

Now today, my consternation has turned to sadness. First report of the morning was of the passing of my beloved grandfather.

I ask that those of you who care send me your condolences; and those who don’t oblige me with your silence.

See what your followers think of you.

“…Addressing the fact that most Americans are far more familiar with the atrocities of Hitler than they are with Stalin’s ruthless regime, which resulted in up to 60 million deaths, Glenn asked Edvins to explain any similarities between the Nazis and the Soviet Union.

“They are brothers, because they are both socialists. That is a very important thing, that both Nazis and Communists are socialists,” answered Edvins. “Both believed that capitalism as a system was finished and they wanted to create new societies — and create new societies by eliminating certain groups within society which they considered to be parasites.”…”

Millenials. The retarded generation.

Ugh. My generation has been doomed by spoiled nitwits.

Frodo: carried around an object of extremely dark power for several months that worked to corrupt his mind and erode his trust, causing him to feel despair and hopelessness, even weakening his body to the point where he couldn’t even stand anymore, enduring all of this so he could protect middle earth and save it from the most dangerous being to ever walk the land

You guys, somehow: idk I just feel like he complained too much :/ like maybe stop acting like a little bitch and just shut up :/
