It’s still a wonderful world.

Well, wasn’t that a fun few days.  Yes, I know what happened in the U.S. election. Yes, I know who our next President is.  Yes,  I still stand as a proud Libertarian.  What am I going to do about this?

I am going to live my life.  Racism, injustice, Nazi graffiti, and everything else that comes with it existed long before this election even started and will continue to exist long after I am gone from this earth. Did any of that stop me from becoming the multilingual world traveling doctor and outdoor adventurer that I am today? (Hint: it didn’t. Not even by a long shot.)

I cannot wait to see my friends in Denver tonight and cannot wait to get on a plane to Texas to see Black Sabbath this Saturday.  I have been going to too many big rock concerts in stadiums and arenas lately, and I hope that I can attend smaller club/theatre shows in the next year which have a more intimate vibe with bands/performers.

I know that I live in a volatile environment, but I’ve known this ever since I was five years old. I will continue to have one eye over my shoulder as usual, but I won’t allow it to be an impediment. Life is a thing, and I’ll continue to do my thing the way I know how to do it best.
