Well, I’m going to go ahead and call this “experiment” blogging of mine a mostly failed endeavor. I’ve thought to myself, “maybe I should throw out a blog post…”, but just as quickly, myself responded back with “pfft! What for?”. Instead, I would just continue on with whatever it was I was doing at the time, and made the choice to not write anything for 10 months. Plenty has happened since last year’s cancelled St. Patrick’s Day Parade: skyrocketing COVID-19 infections, topped by deaths in the hundreds of thousands (including a staff member at my own school); weeks and months of isolation with pretty much only family to keep company with; an absolute $%#&-show of a U.S. presidential election season, followed by cries of stolen election, fraudulent voting practices, refusal of election results… a damn riot at the US capitol building led by followers of the outgoing administration! Honestly, the whole thing with the 2020 election has been covered so much by everyone else that at this point I’d be exhuming the dead horse to beat it some more, despite the fact that the inauguration of the next president hasn’t even occurred yet. I think that everyone is pretty much in agreement that this last presidential election will be referenced numerous times in the future, and will surely be spoken of in the history books decades from now. A couple more months and we’ll officially have been under the thumb of COVID-19 for a year now. However, we have 2 pharmaceutical companies who have received FDA approval for their vaccines, and there might be more being developed. Schools nationwide have gone over to a virtual teaching/learning model, which has been crazy from a personal & professional standpoint.
The holiday season came and went, we’ve moved into a new year. It’s to be determined if we’ve moved into a positive change, however. Our country is divided and is in pain. The world is in chaos. Truth has both been brought to light and at the same time is being covered in shadows. Maybe I’ll be more inclined to do some writing this year. Guess we’ll see.
