Control: Everything Is Terrible…

Ranting!

More ranting!

I, Dalton Lewis, am in a mood.

People are stupid.

They aren’t getting the vaccine and then they are dying!

I don’t understand.

Why don’t they get the vaccine?

They are dying.

1,500 Americans or so died yesterday of the super psycho death virus because they didn’t get the vaccine. I don’t understand.

I sort of understand that Black Americans have been burned by vaccines and doctors before, but I don’t think this is that situation. I think this vaccine is safe and effective. I don’t think that there is any evidence that this vaccine is a repeat of that racist catastrophe.

They die in droves. The numbers of Covid-19 deaths are staggering. Thousands of people die every day, and all of these deaths are easily preventable. The vaccines have been available for long enough now that people don’t need to die from this. I’m sorry. This is now a preventable death. I don’t understand.

What other idiocy is out there?

Oh, yes, there’s another idiot out there.

It’s me!

I’m that idiot.

I ate a burger and cheese curds yesterday and then followed it up with popcorn at a movie theater. I can’t be surprised that I’m 300 pounds, can I? It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. I’m going on my walk later today and I’m pretending it’s something other than a band-aid to cover up a gashing wound.

I walk. I walk and don’t run because my body is so destroyed that I can’t run. I can only walk. My knee hurts too badly when I try to run- and then there’s the fact that I can’t keep going for a significant amount of time before being exhausted.

For years I have worked out two or three days a week. I have done pretty well at trying to get healthier and then have failed and struggled and been a disaster the following week. I don’t know what to do. I can’t lose weight. It seems impossible. What should I do? I don’t know. I don’t know how to lose weight.

I’m that idiot.

What should I do? What should we do?

I should eat better. I should eat healthier and workout even more than I already do. I should get a better app to measure my steps. I should workout until I start to lose weight.

What should the unvaccinated do? They should get vaccinated. They should get the two shots and then survive the super psycho death virus. This isn’t complicated, people. Take the shots. Survive the Covid-19. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.

What else is wrong with society?

I don’t know. I just know that the one percent probably aren’t dying from this. They are getting vaccinated and sitting in their mansions, drinking expensive wine and thanking their butlers for organizing their book collection again. They live the life that we wish that we lived. I’m not in the one percent, not even close. I’m in the ninety-nine percent with the rest of us weirdos and castoffs and losers. I’m that guy.

What should we do?

I don’t know. I can’t figure it out. I can’t figure out how to make it as a writer and become a legend.

If someone has advice let me know. In the meantime I have a workout to do and a novella to finish.

Thanks, and take care, friends.
