The Connor Chronicles Volume CXVII

Facebook asks me “What’s on your mind?”…..hmmmm…okay, here ya go.

I’m tired.  I’m tired of a world of Smart Phones and Dumb People.

I’m tired.  I’m tired of people worrying more about doing what is politically correct, than doing what is right.

I’m tired.  I’m tired of people taking a single blurb on their smart phone or fully left or fully right media outlet and preaching it like its fact….ummm…that’s part of what makes you a dumb person.

I’m tired.  I’m tired of people echoing other people’s opinions instead of forming their own.  This too is what makes you a dumb person.

I’m tired of writing I’m tired.

I’m tired of Republicans.  I’m tired of Democrats.  I’m tired of the Tea Party.  I’m tired of Liberals.  Are there any American’s left?

I’m tired of cries of racism…but not as tired as I am of actual racism.  Which means I am completely exhausted by Al Sharpton.

But even while being so damn tired, I do know I have things to be Thankful for (you didn’t think I was going to skip a year of listing things I’m thankful for did you?)

I’m thankful for the Crème Brule Donut I just ate as part of Festivus Day 2 here at work.  Seriously…who thought of this?  I need to give them a hug!  However, I did air a grievance during Fesitvus Day 2….Why doesn’t Happy Hour at the office start at 4pm on Friday’s in December?

As I have been every year…I’m thankful for Bacon!

I’m thankful for Live Music…speaking of which did you know there is Live Music at Donovan’s every Friday & Saturday?

I’m thankful for short skirts and high heels…although they make my feet hurt.

But Thanksgiving is gone, and Christmas is fast approaching.  Here are some gifts that I hope are given this Christmas.

The Complete West Wing Series on DVD to President Obama.

A copy of “Humility:  The Forgotten Virtue” for Kanye West.

A retirement package for Chris Berman and / or Mike Francessa.

A Red Ryder BB Gun for any kid that want’s one.

A Merry Christmas for each and every one of you.

Okay, enough Christmas Gifts!  Let’s move onto New Year’s Resolutions shall we.

I will try to be less angry (if people try to be less dumb).

I will try to be more patient (if people try to be less dumb).

I will try to be less condescending (if people try to be less dumb).

I will try to be less critical of dumb people (if people try to be less dumb).

How about we all try to do just this one thing…instead of Facebook asking what’s on our minds, how about we all put down the phone and ask each other.  I promise, this will make us all less dumb.

As always, until next time, stay safe, later,
Dan
