Roll this’un out in style

No predictions, not from me this year. I think its safe to say that all the cues are saying this’un’s gunna be a rough one, wyrd one, ugly one, what have you one. No need to delve into all that: far too easy to create self-fulfilling prophecies.

The Boring Old Man has his ducks in a row to “Reverse the Bad”.

Ox is joyridin’ time machines apparently.

My only complaint about the upcoming year: The bad we see forthcoming is not due to anytihng other than simple Selfish GREED of individuals/Narciccists. People that are so full of themselves and have taken nefarious paths, paths that lead ever deeper into darkness, that they can’t won’t try to own up/reverse course. These bad actors know that to do so would bring down JUSTICE and that is something they just can’t face in this lifetime. That justice is coming, and the longer it takes the more severe it will be, and not neccesarily by the hands of those done wrong, but in the hands of the Author of this particular plane.

As I was saying to a fellow Emp at the J.O. B.; “It may not make you a popular person, but it will make you one that everyone trusts: just tell the truth, or say nothing at all.” The people alluded to in the prior paragraph have built empires of lies and the lies are failing as more and more microscopes of inquiry are applied. Unfortunately for the rest of us, those lies are tied deeply into the foundations of everything else. The foundations we were told we could build our lives on.

And as my linked article from yesterday points out, there are many that have built entire world lines around lies, obfuscations, and pure fancy. Those are the ones that prop this fantasy realm up even as it collapses around their ears, all while they blame those of us that see its all illusion and just want the bullshit to stop so we can get on with the REAL build back.

The lines are drawn. The chasm widens. The fun has not yet begun.

But thats where we are. Where we are going? Down river most definitely. They always flow in one direction (mostly,,, but lets not get nit-picky) Time flows ‘thataway’ and thats what this river is doin’. Maybe this river is about to go through some Class6 canyons. Maybe its about to dump us into a tidal race surrounded by cliff faces and deep rocks.

I’m fair certain its not going to lead us into calm open waters with a following wind. Fact, I can say that betting that way is a sure fired loss.

I’m rollin’ the year out on water, the same way I rolled this’un in. Tomorrow, I will be rolling the new one in (metaphorically and actual) on water. I considered taking camp gear and ‘ringing in the New Year’ while sitting next to a campfire on some remote spot only reached by foot or boat.

The only thing other thing that remains the same in my world: I will ring this year in the way I have the last 14; Solo. I don’t go out and party or congregate. I will spend my time with friends next weekend as we don’t all run in the same circles and get our little circle together slightly off centered after fact. I rather prefer it that way. Quietly, sober, reflective,,, Seems a much better way to look forward, and lord knows, we have many reasons to not want to look back.

Looking forward though,,,, I wish you all the best in a world gone mad, may your houses be solid when the houses of the UN-Holy start to fall (they are failing, but not falling, YET) When things look bleakest, look to the streets, look for those kats that carry on when all is lost, look to them as your mentors, Perfect little murder machines that face down bears and lions,,,, Let them be our ‘spirit guides’ in our world gone mad.
