Chapter 39 - Chapter 019. "Old as shit."

Hey, Kid!

Hey, Folks!

How have you all been?

Good, I hope!

It's been about a week's time, yeah?

Mayhap a bit more, mayhap a bit less.

I hope that nothing stressful or wild has occurred that can't be fixed or undone.

Humanity seems to be in another place of war and conflict as you read this, and I can't understand why.

It is obviously not for my peasant mind to comprehend, but I have a heart and a moral core that knows that killing will never solve the problems that we have as a species.

I can't understand why our different skin tones are not celebrated instead of demonized.

But alas, I am a Black man in America, so there are many things that are far beyond what I would ever understand anyway, given the constant hatred and weird treatment that I get in my own country...

I can't understand why we can't just live and let live, even if we don't agree.

I can't understand why we can't love and let love.

Hatred and racism can only be defeated by love and acceptance.

I love all shapes, sizes, and cultures of all women and the people they represent.

I am not one to judge, nor do I care to be judged when it comes to who and how I love.

I wish more people could see other people as JUST as human as they are...

Besides, when the clouds split open and the giants tumble down to earth to consume us all, all we will be to them is a bunch of different flavors! LMFAO!

Mayhap we Black folk will be like Grapes?

Little scattering melon-flavored mouthfuls!

We might be even like... chicken or beef-flavored.

Hmm.

Causations can be potatoes, and other more or less interesting vegetables.

Asians are obviously going to be like rice.

The staple of all great meals.

Europeans can be juiced into all types of sauces, I'm sure!

The other staple of all great meals.

Hispanic and Latin folk can be ground up into fine little bits and used as the seasonings and spices that make us all taste just a little better!

Who would be the bread-like items!?

WHO?!?!?

SEE?

We all would fit and mix together well in a big old giant's pot.

We all would look quite appealing on his... her... their plate!

And lastly, we all would come out of that same giant's ass and end up as little pieces of shit at the end of the great journey.

Let's not take life too seriously, Kid.

That goes twice as much for you, Folks.

I hope this gave you a good laugh.

Or pissed you off.

Either way, GOTCHA BITCH!

*In my best Dave Chappelle voice*

Let's go see what the past was like, shall we?

Oh, and go look up that Dave Chappelle meme, it's hilarious.

Enjoy!

May 23rd, 2022.

Dear You.

Good morning.

Or, evening?

Night?

As long as you can read this, I suppose it doesn't matter.

Part of what I write to you is to keep record too, you know?

One day (God's will), I will be old as shit.

I won't recall so well.

We can go over these stories together, lol.

I can't wait till you come into the world.

I hope it is sooner than later...

Conversely, the world is in a strange place right now.

-Dad.

-----

Hmm.

I suppose the world will always be a strange place, but it is a good bit stranger and more violent than it was back in 2022.

Sheesh.

Humanity has both grown and declined in so many ways that it blows my mind, and I have only been on this rock for just over 37 years.

I love it here...

As... strange as it is.

I am alive.

I get to write to you, Kid.

I get to tell you all my weird little stories.

I get to breathe and eat and do and experience.

I have a job.

A place to call home.

A cool, bean-headed little cat.

An Xbox, lol.

I do my best to enjoy my simple life and be grateful for what I have, versus pinning after what I WANT.

Life is far too short and far too random.

I am happy just to be here.

I am happy to have had the chance to exist.

I hope that you get that chance as well, Kid.

I think the world could use a bit more light.

I could also use you, you know?

We have to read these together someday.

Mayhap YOU are not even MY child.

Mayhap I am meant to be a Stepfather?

Hmm.

I will take what I can get, and I will love you just as well.

I just pray that in either case, you are NOT extraordinarily tasty like me.

I am sure the giants will be down to feast upon our brittle little bones any day now!

Any day now.

Any day.

Any of them!

I will see you back here for the next one if we are all alive come next week!

I wish I could promise you all that I would definitely survive the attack of the giants, but I don't like making a liar of myself! 

Lol.

See you soon, Kid.

You all as well, Folks.

Safe travels, yeah?

And as always:

Stay safe.

Stay healthy.

Stay vigilant.

And stay away from anything that seems suspiciously larger than it should be.

-Bluu.
