Golden leaves looked brown to me
The world had less color without you
Shapes in the sky looked plain to my eyes
The world had less color without you
I know plenty of people with eyes closed
They don't see you like I do
Darling, I do

People are scum. I just spent 5 hours helping my 87 yo mom contact banks and credit card companies to recoup money. She called a number she found on google for customer service to cancel Youtube TV and instead called some scammer that convinced her to download an info sharing app onto her iphone. Yup, he emptied her bank accounts and bought numerous online gift cards. I deleted the app but who knows what else they retrieved.
Pardon me while I throw myself under the coming snow plow.
The most damaging lie we tell ourselves and each other is, "I grew up with (fill in the blank) and I turned out just fine," when in fact we didn't.
A little more introspection. And less bravado., please.
When you cycle the abuse to the next generation, you are not just fine, you become the abuser.
Don't just check yourself before you wreck yourself.. check yourself before you utterly wreck someone else.
And if you can't or won't do that, become a hermit.
Yes, I got triggered yesterday.
Man who has for decades failed to pay contracted workers, fraudulently stated the value of his assets, and filed bankruptcy six times bemoans the fact he cannot get an underwriter to secure his $454 Million dollar bond.

Hey but that GoFundMe is alive and kicking with 24,000 donors.
Sometimes I think I should have been born in another time, but then as I look at the sheer perfection of my tuna sandwich made from a can of Star Kist, a tablespoon of Hellmann's mayonnaise, and white wheat bread, my mouth starts salivating in joy, and I realize, no... I am living in exactly the right time.
What's so funny 'bout peace, love, and understanding?
