Fortune Favors the Bold

Well for the first time since this whole ordeal has started I can finally say that everything is 100% a go. I have purchased the plane ticket and now all that's left is to show up to the airport on time. My main worry at this point in the game is getting my dog there safely and in and out of whatever quarantine period he may have to be subjected to. I'm hoping that is service dog status will at least abbreviate the time he is in quarantine. I just hate that word "quarantine". Its not like Coop would be bringing anything to the country that isn't already floating around there, but I guess rules are rules.
So October 8th is the departure date and I am very excited. I'm excited to get the hell away from people and their tweets, I'm excited to get away from the commercials where politicians bash each other to get ahead, I'm excited to get away from the newest 5 buck meal deal. I'm currently living in a country where a football player gets fined for getting upset that someone spit on him and called him a racially insulting word. So he gets called the N-word and fined??
I'm excited to get out of a country where we have TV shows about how this fella can eat a 10 pound pizza and at the same time we have starving families living in a goddamn cardboard box. Everywhere I turn its cancer, obesity, depression, and if its not that, its all about how to "beat" those three things. People, your thoughts become things, if you think about those things, no matter if you are trying to "beat" it, you are still thinking about it. You still have cancer, obesity, depression or whatever issue on your mind and that's going to be what kills you. We live in a country where there is a depression pill that you are supposed to take to boost up the depression pill you are already taking. Does anyone but me find that absolutely ridicules?? Yes, I'm sure that in China those issues don't just disappear, but I'm sure as hell not going to be able to understand what they are saying so ignorance is bliss baby.
Talk to you in the airport.
