But, honestly if Obama couldn't do shit, I just don't see Trump doing anything. So I think we'll be fine. That's the thing I think people forget is that the President doesn't have as much power as people think, he's not a king, there's checks and balances. One thing the President does do though is set the tone for the culture and unfortunately Trump has emboldened many racists and other ne'er do wells to feel like they can as nasty as they wanna be. |

Yep, this is true. But it's also been happening. And honestly, I'm at the point where I wanna see the decent people of the world just start discriminating against racists. Upcharge them $50 a gallon of gas. Be late with giving them anything. Don't restore power to their house for an extra hour or day. Give them cops without GPS or sleep. You know, just make their life hell. |

I too fear what 2016 could lead to. 2017 could just be the even worse sequel to 2016. I am going to flip off 2016 just before midnight in my time zone. This is my fear, but I can't help but be an optimist because here's the thing, the future's hard to predict, you may think something seems guaranteed only to be surprised. I'm not expecting 2017 to be amazing, but what I am hoping is that it will become clear that we're gonna be ok, we've living in genuinely uncertain times at the moment, easily the most uncertain since after the Great Recession and 9/11, but my hope is that like those instances life will go on, that this isn't the prologue to some post-apocalyptic movie or whatever. Yeah. One thing I need to do is shut down any drama. I have a bad habit of feeding the drama beast and it has caused a lot of misery in my life. Overreacting to things usually doesn't help fix anything. |

Truly an excellent advice, and one I will try to follow this year. 2016 has been a very crappy year for me, so all I can do is to work hard to make 2017 at least decent. And happy new year to everybody! |

I was working yesterday (and today) and was invited to a supper at the last minute by friends I rarely get to see. I was so damn exhausted that I just went home and slept instead. If I'm wishing for any change in my personal life, it's that my health improves.
Also, world peace, etc. etc.
