The time flies now. Faster, ever faster. It's a blur, now.
Marriages crash and burn. Families divide against themselves. Hearts harden and break, other hearts heal. New families and tribes are forged. Mom is now a fully autonomous, weapons grade sea hag. I avoid her. Fresh scars heal over and are forgotten or ignored. Life goes on.
For me… it has been a mediocre year. I largely detour around the stupids, and pass on the drama, mayhem and chaos they offer. Mediocre is good! But the 'check engine' lights are coming on, and the realities of old age are setting in for me the way they settle on everyone else. To be honest I thought either Darwin or Murphy would have gotten me by now... but by the grace of God alone I am still here... and I must give thanks. For now my Maker still deems me to be “worth me room on this earth.”
From where I sit… 2026 can go either way. But we won’t find out which way it goes by looking backward. Saddle up boys! Got all your mags? Are they topped up? Keep ya pistols a little loose in the holsters, lads. What about your flask and cigars? Keep those flak jackets on! The holidays draw to a close, and real life beckons. Again.
Resolve to escape the madness this year, and let us face our other adversities together, with good cheer and stout hearts! And may the next year be the best that we can have.
😉👍
Happy New Year

Happy New Year Filthie! Thanks for grinding out another year on the blog. Have a great 2026 with those dogs!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Glen. Good message, points, advice for the the New Year. I wasn't gonna, but since you went to the trouble of getting that out there, I might as well do it.
ReplyDeleteThanks fer yer Blog, time, efforts.
HEAR, HEAR, Glen! Indeed, avoid the blather; the ones who scream and yell about the problems but are woefully short on solutions. Believe what your own eyes see and what the Holy Spirit tells you.
ReplyDeleteKeep your powder dry, your larder deep, and your Bible open! God bless you this new year, Glen!
I've been leaning towards old Black Flag albums. Metal rocks! Happy new year from Michigan. Kent
ReplyDeleteYes Glen this melancholy wuss music has me worried. I must insist you find "Berserker" by Black Flag on oytube and play full volume. God gave us rage to Overcome the sadness. It's what separates us from women and fags. Kent
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Mr. Glen Filthie! Don't burn down your backyard! Nobody builds fires around here this time of year. We are in a desert. A grass fire would take off like Obama at a weenie festival.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Mr. Filthie! Great advice! Life is what you make it, with God's grace! Mine could be better, but could be a whole lot worse. So I'm very thankful for what I have.
