Just when I swear I am going to stop looking at the Facebook....thank you to Sheryl Wilson for posting this!!
Dear Diary 2020 Edition,
In ❄️ January, ๐ฅ Australia caught on fire. I don’t even know if that fire was put out, because we straight up almost went to war with Iran ๐ฎ๐ท . We might actually still be almost at war with them ๐ค. I don’t know, because ๐ฉ Jen Aniston and ๐จ๐ป Brad Pitt spoke to one another at an awards ๐ show and everyone flipped the crap out ๐ฒ, but then there was this thing happening in ๐ฆ ๐จ๐ณ China, then ๐ Prince Harry and Megan ✌๐ผ peaced out of the Royal family, and there was the whole impeachment trial ๐ฉ⚖️ , and then corona virus ๐ฆ showed up in the US ✔️“officially,” but then ๐ Kobe died ๐ญand UK ๐ฌ๐ง peaced out of the European Union.
In February, ๐ฝ Iowa crapped ๐ฉ itself with the caucus results and the president was acquitted and the ๐ฉ๐ผ๐ผSpeaker of the House took ten. Whole. years. to rip up a speech , but then The๐จ๐ฌ ๐WHO decided to give this virus a name COVID-19, which confused ๐คsome really important people ๐ in charge of, like, our lives, into thinking there were 18 other versions before it, but then Harvey Weinstein was found guilty๐จ๐ป⚖️, and ๐บ๐ธ Americans started asking if Corona beer ๐บ was safe to drink๐คฆ๐ป♀️, and everyone on Facebook became a doctor ๐จ⚕️ who just knew the ๐คflu like killed way more people than COVID 1 through 18.
In March, stuff hit the fan๐ฟ. Warren dropped out of the presidential race and Sanders was like Bernie or bust ๐ฅ, but then Italy ๐ฎ๐น shut its whole country down ๐ท, and then COVID Not 1 through 18 officially become what everyone already realized, a ๐ฑpandemic and then a nationwide state of emergency ๐was declared in US ๐บ๐ธ , but it didn’t really change anything, so everyone was confused or thought it was still just a flu ๐๐ป♀️, but then COVID Not 18 was like ya’ll not taking me seriously? ๐ก I’m gonna infect the one celebrity everyone loves and totally infected Tom Hanks๐จ๐ป, get y’all to close all of the schools so y’all can ๐๐ผ appreciate teachers ๐ฉ๐ซ for once (because you can’t teach them anything other than how to use a touch screen๐คฆ๐ป♀️ ) close down all of salons so you can’t get your ๐♂️ hair or your nails done๐
, everyone had to work from home and attend Zoom meetings in their underwear. The ๐ DOW took a crap ๐ฉ on itself, and most of us still don’t understand why the stock market is so important or even a thing ๐ค (I still don’t), We were then all introduced to ๐
Tiger King and the ONE thing we can all agree on this year , ๐๐ผCarol totally killed her husband⚰️ ..... whacked him! And then Netflix was like you’re welcome, and we all realized there was no way we were washing our hands enough in the first place because all of our hands are now dry and gross and were all searching for lotion now.
In ๐ง April, Bernie finally busted✌๐ผ himself out of the presidential race ๐ , but then NYC ๐ฝbecame the set of The Walking Dead ๐ and we learned that no one has face masks ๐ท, ventilators, or toilet paper, or THE FREAKING SWIFFER WET JET LIQUID , and by now our ๐ฆoutgrowth is showing, so there’s a shortage on ๐ฆ box hair dye and all of our hair dressers are like , ๐ฑ NO DONT DO IT!!! But, then Kim Jong-Un died, but then he came back to life … or did he? Who knows, because then the Pentagon released ๐ฅ videos of UFOs and nobody cared, and we were like man, it’s only April….
In ๐ May, the biblical end times kicked off , historical locust swarms, we learned of murder hornets ๐ and realized that 2020 was the start of the Hunger Games๐ however people forgot to let us know. people legit started to protest lockdown measures with ๐ซ AR-15s, ๐⚾️sports events were cancelled everywhere. But then people all over America finally reached a breaking point with race issues and violence. There were ๐ฃprotests in every city๐ ,which was confusing to some of us because people were definitely gathering in ๐ซcrowds of more than ๐๐ผ๐ค๐ผ10 and for sure closer than 6 foot away ⬅️➡️from each other . Those people must have forgotten about the ๐pandemic called COVID Not One Through 18. Media ๐บ ๐ struggled with how to ๐คฌfocus on two important things at once, people in general struggle to focus on more than one important thing. A dead whale ๐ was found in the middle of the Amazon rain forest ๐ณ after monkeys ๐ stole COVID 1 Through 19 from a lab ๐ฌ and ran off with them, and either in May or April (no one is keeping track of time now) that a giant asteroid ☄️ narrowly missed the Earth๐.
In ☀️ June, science and common sense just got thrown ๐คพ๐ผ straight out the window and somehow ๐ท wearing masks became a ๐political thing, but then everyone sort of remembered there was a pandemic, but then decided that not wearing a mask was somehow a ✝️God given right (still haven't found that part in the bible or even in the constitution). then ๐จ๐ฌscientists announced they found a mysterious undiscovered mass at the center of the earth, and everyone was like ๐
๐ฝ♂️๐
๐ป♀️๐งDON’T YOU DARE TOUCH IT, but then everyone took a pause to realize that people actually believed Gone With The Wind ๐จ was like non-fiction, but then it was also announced that there is a strange ๐ฐradio signal coming from somewhere in the universe ๐ that repeats itself every so many days ๐ , and everyone was like ๐ฝ DON’T YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO COMMUNICATE WITH IT‼️๐ซ but then America reopened ๐๐ผfrom the shut down that actually wasn’t even a shut down, and so far, things have gone spectacularly .... not that great ๐๐ผ. All of the Karen’s came out at once, and people started tearing down ๐จ statues. Everyone is on Facebook arguing ๐คผ♀️ that masks kill because no one knows how breathing works ๐๐ผ, but then Florida ๐ was like hold my beer ๐บ and let me show you how we’re number one ๐ฅ in all things, including new Not Corona Beer Coronavirus. Trump ๐ฑ๐ป♂️decides now is a good time to ask the Supreme Court ๐ to shut down ❌Obama Care because what better time to do so than in the middle of a pandemic ๐๐ป♀️ , but then we learned there was a massive dust cloud ☁️ coming straight at us ๐from the Sahara Desert ๐ซ , which is totally normal, but this is 2020, so the ๐ป ghost mummy thing is most likely in that dust cloud. We then ๐ learned of meth-gators ๐ , and I'm like that is so not on my flipping 2020 Bingo card ๐ก can we use it as the free space?? ๐คท๐ป Then we learned that the Congo's worst ever Ebola ๐จ outbreak is over ๐, and we were all like, there was an Ebola outbreak that was the worse ever? ๐ ....... and don’t forget we just discovered FLYING SNAKES! ๐, seriously! FLYING SNAKES!!!!
So here comes July…. at this point we are over it , just tell us what’s next .... ๐ฝ Aliens? ๐ฑZeus? ☄️ Asteroids? Artificial Intelligence becomes self aware? Can it just be something cool ๐ or fun for once? Maybe even a good laugh , like hahaha ๐ April Fools! We all actually wouldn't mind that joke at this point.
I have no idea who wrote this.
Also, why didn't I know about the whale in the Amazon? Or a few other things because I just can’t keep up anymore!
But I’m sharing it because as long as we make it through 2020, I really want this to pop back up in the memories a few years from now.
Thanks for posting this as it was great fun to read in a weird almost sad way. I needed the laugh!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better and that praying that in July, the volcanoes in Yellowstone don't erupt!
LOL!!! But what about the murder hornets???
ReplyDeleteHere is some Canadian info about murder hornets (don't read this while you are alone or outside)

This is so good. Even as an Aussie we can all relate.
ReplyDeleteFabulously funny!!
ReplyDeleteI saw this the other day, too, it's great!
ReplyDeleteThey forgot to mention the bubonic plague in squirrels (or prairie dogs) in Colorado!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I never knew a lot of those things like the whale either! There really is a comet in the sky at the moment and while it is a new discovery - why didn't we know about it before as suddenly ooh there it is - when it's been sneaking up for months! Goodness knows what germs that will drop on us! Perhaps it is actually Apollo's chariot.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great summation of 2020 so far!
ReplyDeleteThanks Coni!
ReplyDeleteAaaand she's back! Good to have you on board. Keep well.
ReplyDeleteThat was funny and scary at the same time. Giant asteroid??! Going to look that up... or maybe I should just stay blissfully unaware.
ReplyDeleteAnd today there's a big NASCAR race in Bristol, 30,000 desperate-for-fun-seekers allowed.... Sorry ahead of time if I offended race fans. We have a grandson who races.
ReplyDeleteOmg smiley face alien and it's ONLY July! Don't know if I should laugh or cry!
ReplyDeleteWow! A whale in the Amazon? Who knew? Not me! Thanks for a great read and for sharing it with us --- It's wonderful to have you feeling better and looking out for the insanity that is 2020!
ReplyDeleteHilarious!
ReplyDeleteMade my day. You have to agree this year has been the weirdest in US history. Who knows how it will be reported in the history books.
