Sunday Drinkin'

 

S'up Fuckers.

Sunday.

Drinkin' in the driveway, retreating to the garage when the rain drops fall a little too hard. 

It's been a weekend, good times, family and love and all that jazz. 

But a Polk needs a recharge and sometimes one day off don't cut it...but it is what I have. 

So despite a ledger of work, inside and outside the house, I binged watched 5 episodes of Mad Men, it's our thing right now, don't @ me, it's in its time and place and Holy shit watching it again 13 years later brings a whole bunch of new revelations about it and the changes in me to the table. Whenever I hear contemporary white dudes wish they could be in that timeline because it was "easier", I know I once felt that way, but I grew the fuck up and saw the world for what it was. Privilege doesn't mean you didn't have struggles, it just means your gender, sexuality or race wasn't one of them. Get over your bullshit, it's a tired trope boys, nobody cares. 

This got ranty, I mean, it went where it went and I'm okay with that too, I am who I am. I sit here with a beer in hand thinking about ways to make it a more equitable world, a more fair and honest place for good people to get their justice and peace. I know I'm lucky as fuck, I stumbled into a life I didn't know was possible and I wake up every day and look around in wonder that no one has come.by to escort me out. But I know my brothers and sisters don't all get that same feeling and until they do, I'll stick around to fight the good fight and to lend whatever credence this little profile can give to the causes of righteousness and honesty and equality every damn day.

Be fucking better, make this blue planet a little more level for everyone and do your part to see it through the eyes of those who haven't had the advantages given easily through birth or luck. You can make a change and a difference...

Let's go!
