maybe its because i like to keep up on breaking news and current events, but it seems like 2016 has just been a shitty year.
Celebrity deaths, terrorist attacks/police killings seemingly atleast once or twice a week.
Part of me just wants to un plug and tune it all out for the rest of the year and get lost in a hobby or a video game or something.

Yep. I just saw a headline saying our new and not-voted in Prime Minister would be 'ready to push the button' on a nuclear bombing which could potentially kill 100,000.
Facepalm. Fucking morons.

no, lighting, like volunteering for local theater lighting.
Ive worked events and concerts setting up for lighting, but i need more experience behind the board to get a real job. Also building cool leds in my garage, and setting up lights in my garage to control with my pc, a raspberry pi or a dmx control board if i can afford one to practice programming lights.

My hobby is watching the world burn. it's been a good week.
It's not like i wish for bad things to happen but when it does, the ensuing shit fest that is logic vs. PC is Grade A entertainment.
Also watching War in real time is a pretty new phenomena for me.

The media wants people to be depressed because if more people are depressed Big Pharma makes more money and as a result so does the media

I don't watch the news, but guess what? Everyone else seems intent on telling me about shit I don't care about and in no way affects my life...
That's the news and recent events for yu, turning the world into a media obsessed zombfest which then eats it's own brains as the result of cellphone overload. Bang.

I noticed as I was on the way to work, for the first time yesterday, an ENTIRE busy street in London in the evening staring at their phones. There's always a % of people these days, but never before have I witnessed an entire street doing it. On a beautiful summers evening no less. Fucking surreal.
If someone out there has the firm intention of keeping us all distracted, they're doing a fucking fine job of it.

I've been in these situations on the train to the city, I'll say this...
I was very creeped out that no one spoke to each other, I thought for a moment it would be like this forever.

I understand her frustration, if it doesn't affect you in any way other than instilling fear then it will deteriorate your health and mental stability.
I want to walk down a city street and not worry about being 'blown up', so I do. But when someone mentions an attack I automatically feel betrayed by their own fear.

Yeah, I've basically tuned out at this point. Bernie gave me hope, now he's out of the running and it's boiled down to cuntface, lousy toupee, and the scads of terror attacks that probably have something to do with them. Fuck them. Fuck the election. Fuck this country. Fuck all this race war shit. Fuck the way we all turn into a bunch of belligerent asswipes every year we have to vote for a puppet in chief. I hate everything.

I love that, satan is here. I haven't met him personally but I think his presence is in magnetic waves, negative waves.

Why does 666 get multiplied by 3 instead of by 6? This whole thing stinks to high he--
