So, the good news is...

We're all fucked. That's right, I said it. We. Are. All. Fucked. Why you ask? Well, eventually, we're all going to die. That's why.

So, the good news is, at least at this moment, as you read these words, you are alive. So that's something. Shall we call it, good news? I think so.

Okay, what you've stumbled upon is one fools attempt to illuminate issues going on in and around our world that I find important and more importantly, are shitty situations. The good news is, I am going to then try and find a comparable opposite to said shitty situation and do my best to provide you, the reader, with some sort of good news to follow up that shitty business with. Ideally the bad taste in your mouth can be, if not washed out, at least replaced with something a bit more palatable. Maybe even delicious from time to time? That's the hopes at least.

You see, I'm a damn optimist by design (intelligent design?), what I mean is that for the life of me I cannot help but see the bright side of damn near every situation. I'm working on being more cynical though, so buckle your seat belts and join me for a ride into my dark side! Sincerely though, this world we are all a part of is pretty fucked. If you don't agree with that or aren't able to admit that to yourself, well, you've come to the right place my friend, I'm here to open your fucking eyes!

So, let's see... Where to begin? Well, how about the fact that just the other day two amazing things happened on the Donald Duck, I mean Donald Trump campaign trail. First, good ol' Sarah Palin endorsed him and boy oh boy was that a doozy of a speech she made! I wasn't quite able to make out all of the words she was rambling off but I gathered the gist of what she was saying was, "We're all fucked!". The other amazing thing Mr. Duck, dammit! I mean Mr Trump declared was something to the effect of that he could shoot somebody and it wouldn't hurt his campaign in the least. Again, it was something to that effect but all I really gathered from that declaration was him announcing to the human beings of the United States of America (and the world at large) was "We're all fucked!". The good news is, eventually, we are all fucked. With Donald Trump at the steering wheel though, we may all get there sooner rather than later.

At the beginning I said I would find something comparable on the opposite side of the spectrum to share, "the good news is..." after all, is the title of this fucking blog. So, now I suppose I actually have to figure out something good to share...

Oh, I know! This day in 1700 was the day that the Pacific Northwest had it's giant 8 to 9 pointer on the richter scale that caused the huge tsunamis all over the Pacific. We've recently learned that the region is likely well over due for another magnitude 8 or 9 on the richter scale quake and it would devastate the whole of the Pacific Northwest from as far south as Sacramento all the way up to above Victoria, British Columbia. It could come at any time. I don't suppose that is good news as it goes but that was the other thing I was thinking of. I guess I have no good news to report as it goes. I saw a youtube video of that 1700 tsunami that maybe I can put in here, though!

Alright folks. I'm going to just leave this as it is. As good as any place to start with for "The Good News Is...", wouldn't you say?

Any way you slice it, it looks like eventually, we're all fucked...
