This is hilarious. I donโt know who wrote it, or if their stellar use of emojis will shine through my copy and paste, but it made me belly laugh, and I'll take that anywhere I can get it during these ever so trying times.
Dear Diary 2020 Edition,
In January, Australia caught on fire. I donโt even know if that fire was put out, because we straight up almost went to war with Iran . We might actually still be almost at war with them . I donโt know, because Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt spoke to one another at an awards show and everyone flipped the crap out , but then there was this thing happening in China, then Prince Harry and Megan peaced out of the Royal family, and there was the whole impeachment trial โ , and then corona virus ๐ฆ showed up in the US โofficially,โ but then Kobe died and UK peaced out of the European Union.
In February, Iowa crapped itself with the caucus results and the president was acquitted and the โSpeaker of the House took ten. Whole. years. to rip up a speech , but then Theโ WHO decided to give this virus a name COVID-19, which confused some really important people in charge of, like, our lives, into thinking there were 18 other versions before it, but then Harvey Weinstein was found guiltyโ, and Americans started asking if Corona beer was safe to drinkโ, and everyone on Facebook became a doctor โ who just knew the flu like killed way more people than COVID 1 through 18.
In March, stuff hit the fan. Warren dropped out of the presidential race and Sanders was like Bernie or bust , but then Italy shut its whole country down , and then COVID Not 1 through 18 officially become what everyone already realized, a pandemic and then a nationwide state of emergency was declared in US , but it didnโt really change anything, so everyone was confused or thought it was still just a flu โ, but then COVID Not 18 was like yaโll not taking me seriously? Iโm gonna infect the one celebrity everyone loves and totally infected Tom Hanks, get yโall to close all of the schools so yโall can appreciate teachers โ for once (because you canโt teach them anything other than how to use a touch screenโ ) close down all of salons so you canโt get your โ hair or your nails done , everyone had to work from home and attend Zoom meetings in their underwear. The DOW took a crap on itself, and most of us still donโt understand why the stock market is so important or even a thing (I still donโt), We were then all introduced to Tiger King and the ONE thing we can all agree on this year , Carol totally killed her husband ..... whacked him! And then Netflix was like youโre welcome, and we all realized there was no way we were washing our hands enough in the first place because all of our hands are now dry and gross and were all searching for lotion now.
In ๐ง April, Bernie finally busted himself out of the presidential race , but then NYC became the set of The Walking Dead and we learned that no one has face masks , ventilators, or toilet paper, or THE FREAKING SWIFFER WET JET LIQUID , and by now our outgrowth is showing, so thereโs a shortage on box hair dye and all of our hair dressers are like , NO DONT DO IT!!! But, then Kim Jong-Un died, but then he came back to life โฆ or did he? Who knows, because then the Pentagon released videos of UFOs and nobody cared, and we were like man, itโs only Aprilโฆ.
In May, the biblical end times kicked off , historical locust swarms, we learned of murder hornets and realized that 2020 was the start of the Hunger Games however people forgot to let us know. people legit started to protest lockdown measures with AR-15s, โพ๏ธsports events were cancelled everywhere. But then people all over America finally reached a breaking point with race issues and violence. There were ๐ฃprotests in every city ,which was confusing to some of us because people were definitely gathering in crowds of more than 10 and for sure closer than 6 foot away from each other . Those people must have forgotten about the pandemic called COVID Not One Through 18. Media ๐ struggled with how to focus on two important things at once, people in general struggle to focus on more than one important thing. A dead whale was found in the middle of the Amazon rain forest after monkeys stole COVID 1 Through 19 from a lab and ran off with them, and either in May or April (no one is keeping track of time now) that a giant asteroid narrowly missed the Earth.
In June, science and common sense just got thrown straight out the window and somehow wearing masks became a ๐political thing, but then everyone sort of remembered there was a pandemic, but then decided that not wearing a mask was somehow a God given right (still haven't found that part in the bible or even in the constitution). then โscientists announced they found a mysterious undiscovered mass at the center of the earth, and everyone was like โโDONโT YOU DARE TOUCH IT, but then everyone took a pause to realize that people actually believed Gone With The Wind was like non-fiction, but then it was also announced that there is a strange ๐ฐradio signal coming from somewhere in the universe that repeats itself every so many days ๐ , and everyone was like DONโT YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH IT but then America reopened from the shut down that actually wasnโt even a shut down, and so far, things have gone spectacularly .... not that great . All of the Karenโs came out at once, and people started tearing down statues. Everyone is on Facebook arguing โ that masks kill because no one knows how breathing works , but then Florida ๐ was like hold my beer and let me show you how weโre number one in all things, including new Not Corona Beer Coronavirus. Trump โdecides now is a good time to ask the Supreme Court ๐ to shut down Obama Care because what better time to do so than in the middle of a pandemic โ , but then we learned there was a massive dust cloud coming straight at us from the Sahara Desert , which is totally normal, but this is 2020, so the ghost mummy thing is most likely in that dust cloud. We then learned of meth-gators , and I'm like that is so not on my flipping 2020 Bingo card can we use it as the free space?? Then we learned that the Congo's worst ever Ebola outbreak is over , and we were all like, there was an Ebola outbreak that was the worst ever? ....... and donโt forget we just discovered FLYING SNAKES! , seriously! FLYING SNAKES!!!!
So here comes Julyโฆ. at this point we are over it , just tell us whatโs next .... Aliens? Zeus? Asteroids? Artificial Intelligence becomes self aware? Can it just be something cool or fun for once? Maybe even a good laugh , like hahaha April Fools! We all actually wouldnโt mind that joke at this point.
And the year is only half over. Let's see what happens next. Hurricane season?The elections? What else can happen??
That answer is still among the mysterious unknown.
Well! If you put it THAT way! And the year's only half over.....
What's that saying? Laugh to keep from crying... that's where I'm apparently at currently.
@Amzungu We an't control what happens to us but we CAN control how we respond to it. And, if you take the long view...a lot of this really IS funny! Otherwise..we go bat-shit nuts! (That's a technical term, of course.)
