Everything Happens At Once- A Tale of Expiration

It's a lovely time of year. Winter is coming to an end, and there are exciting holidays like Valentine's Day, Half-Price Chocolate Day, and St. Patrick's Day. It's a time of change, a time of new life. Robins perch in the trees, ants tromp through the house... Wait, what. Hand me that can of Raid, would you?

Anyway, it's a time of many things. So much can happen. Including the possibility of... every blasted thing happening at once. At least, it was this year. Grab some popcorn to eat, or some rotten fruit to throw, because it's a wild ride.

It's the Neverending Story...

The Key to Never Going Anywhere

Back when I was a teen, one day my mother and I were planning to go out somewhere. I think we were going shopping, I don't recall exactly.

Anyway, there was a major hindrance to our plan: we couldn't find the car keys. They had vanished, and we couldn't find them anywhere. Mom and I were combing the house, trying to locate the missing objects, for what seemed like ages.

Library Book Sale

Some time ago, I made a blog post about things you might find at a second-hand store, like tap shoes and drum sets. Today, I'll be showcasing interesting, weird, and random things I've seen in book sales at my local library.

 

Yes, my library actually had this.

The 2020s- A Recap of Horrors

So, 2026. It's the weirdest time, it's the worst of times. It's a time of misery, a time of complaining. A time of horror, a time of "What on God's green earth is this???"

Really, this whole decade has been crummy. We started off 2020 with a weird virus, a quarantine that disrupted the entire flow of the universe, a random war, and a number of other crazy things. Even now, several years later, it still feels like we're looking at the after-effects of that quarantine. It changed the way society functions, the way people think and behave... On some level, I feel like we've become increasingly divided, increasingly isolated, and just... Sometimes I say we have an anti-social society. Then, of course, we have all the places that closed down because of the disaster that was 2020, many of them smaller businesses.

And it's not just that. We've had a lot of other turmoil. It seems like there's always something horrible to be reported in the news. Sometimes I see things online and just think, "How is this real. This can't possibly be real." All I can say is that I am not proud to be an American. If anything, I'm ashamed. Heck, these days, sometimes I don't want to be a human being at all. What if I was an amoeba, blindly squelching through life, unthinking, unaware of the world around me. Seems a lot simpler.

 

Wee hee hee, I'm a microscopic blob!

Horrifying Foods

I watched a video where a guy tried some odd foods, and aside from the toast sandwich, they were all awful. There was a bizarre recipe involving cranberry sauce, fruit-flavored gelatin, and mayonnaise, which he described as looking like dog food. And you know, it kind of did. Upon trying the nightmarish thing, he found it so unspeakably disgusting that he rushed off-camera, presumably to make retching noises.

Anyway, I thought I'd make a blog post about foods that sound unappealing. Whether it's crazy videos, odd images floating around on social media, or things we see at the supermarket, we come across some strange or unappealing foods sometimes.
