Fall Frenzy 2023 has gone crazy compared to 2022. Let’s get into it.
I’ve taken to visual aids. Old school. No computer or AI generated images for yours truly. Below is a “map” of this year’s version of Fall Frenzy. Dominating all else is the Israel / Hamas war. These people are out of their minds! Talk about no way out and against all odds.
Thus, it is the large black circle that encompasses all the smaller circles which represent other issues that I deem important this fall. As before, the size of the circle designates its value. As usual, I’m in the center. Because my world revolves around me. Notwithstanding … .
Fall Frenzy 2023 – the map
The Issues
The Israel Hamas war. This is the worst. All out world war is the most likely consequence. Everybody loses. In the short term. In the long term – there will be winners, the survivors. In the short term. This is so depressing.
The republication of my book Election 2016: The Great Divide, the Great Debate. This is not going well. In fact, may not happen. This is a SNAFU. Again, seems I let my optimism get the best of me. I trusted people! Turns out – they were in it for their own gain. Not ours.
Bidenomics. Bad Joke Joe has lived up to his reputation as a person who can severely, in Barack Obama’s words, “fuck things up.” For almost everyone, every problem facing the US has gotten worse. And then, he lies about it. In my words, “piss on my leg and tells me it’s raining.”
Falling leaves. Pretty, sure. However, a sure sign winter is coming. And, “When winter comes the lone wolf dies (me) while the pack survives.”
College football. Again, are you not entertained by the Deion Sanders spectacle?
Coach Prime always wins
Because it looks like things have gone South for Prime. However, that’s never the case for the coach. Because he is a TRUE BELIEVER that God’s got this. The Saturday Night Live skit so nailed it!
MLB playoffs. The baseball playoffs are in trouble. Because there is a decline in watchers (down 15%) because the best teams, the expected winners, all lost. This means less revenue for everyone. However, this can’t be blamed on Biden. Maybe they’ll figure it out, but I doubt it. I’m “losing my religion” (optimism/confidence).
Halloween. Halloween was never something that I got excited about. Until 2005. I went to a party and met a girl. (See Overcast.) Ever since that fateful night – things have changed. Now, October 31 has a special meaning for me. 🙂
The Back Burner (i.e. simmering)
Russia Ukraine war. This WAR is probably getting jealous. Subsequently, uh-oh, look out! Jealousy is The Dangerous Passion.
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Because I was born on Thanksgiving (1949). Perhaps? Nevertheless, is it not the greatest? Sharing food, drink, and thanks with those you appreciate and love?
In Conclusion
This Fall Frenzy is like no other. Because the stakes are so high. What do you think? Do you think we’ll make it out alive? Let me know in the comments.
PS
In the map, the blank circles represent the unknown things that can impact the Fall Frenzy 2023 version.
Avoidant coping styles
Thanksgiving is a great time to practice your avoidant coping skills.
