Okay, It's Official...
2025 officially sucks and is not getting off to a good start at all. Lots of people dying yesterday, including my next door neighbor. Not the one who had a heart attack, the one who moved in three months ago, young man, early 20s, in a rehab program. The young Black man who lived across the driveway from me earlier last year died ten days ago.
I was sitting here reading all the bad news about death and decline when I noticed a lot of activity outside. I knew that a new neighbor, another person altogether, is moving into a separate unit.
Not looking good there, 2025.

We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby
You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You will pay tomorrow
Save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no
Oh, save me
Save me from tomorrow
I don't want to sail with this ship of fools, no, no, no
I want to run and hide
Right now
Avarice and greed
Are gonna drive you over the endless sea
They will leave you drifting in the shallows
Or drowning in the oceans of history
Traveling the world, you're in search of no good
But I'm sure you'll build your Sodom, like you knew you would
Using all the good people for your galley slaves
As your little boat struggles through the warning waves
But you don't pay
You will pay tomorrow

Finishing my thought above, I heard a lot of activity in the driveway so I got up to look out and see what was up. I saw the whole driveway and parking area filled with vehicles, some of which I recognized but what made me go outside was that I saw the coroner standing out there talking to some guy while my site manager was standing off by herself leaning on my vehicle not looking happy. I asked her about the parade and she came over and informed me that my neighbor passed last night.
Didn't really know him, met him once. Asked him to be more responsible about his dog. I don't know what happened to him but whatever it was, it took him with it.
about canceling 2025 …he might be right….
Big hugs, 2na…
Here’s my “Final Song” that’s kinda appropriate for all. By…Tony Dekker. It is mine.
Final Song
When my race on this earth is run
When I take one final trip
When I fly into the horizon
When my body has lost its grip
Won’t you think of me in a good light?
Won’t you think of me with a smile?
Won’t you think of me by the water?
Won’t you think of me once in a while?
When the spell is finally broken
And the magic has long gone
When I drift into the other side
When I’ve sung my final song
Won’t you think of me in a good light?
Won’t you think of me with a smile?
Won’t you think of me by the water?
Won’t you think of me once in a while?
When my head rejects my body
When my arms don’t know my legs
And my fingers aren’t doing any good no more
And my mouth spits only dregs
Won’t you think of me in a good light?
Won’t you think of me with a smile?
Won’t you think of me by the water?
Won’t you think of me once in a while?
And they are getting a little longer each time. I have plenty to do right now so I have plenty of distraction.
As I have been known to say, this kind of stuff is why I smoke pot and go to therapy every week.
((((((Hugs)))))
Move away from that cursed place before it's too late! 
I found out about an hour ago that a friend of ours was found dead in her home this morning. Her coworkers became concerned when she didn't go to work. She was in her early forties. 
My condolences. Yeah, it's getting off to a rough start for sure.
