User blog:Spikewitwicky/June 19th, 2017 - Spike's Journal Entry



Apparently, I pissed off the new president. One of his Tweets today said: Liberal idiot Spike Witwicky thinks that I am a terrible president! Like I really care what he thinks! Loser" A few years ago, this would have sent me into a panic with Crosscut. But today, I just find that stuff amusing. Maybe it's because it's THIS president and not the last one, whose opinion I genuinely cared about, and who offered genuinely thoughtful guidance.

And apparently, the new president's followers unleased a healthy Tweet storm on me. One said " i hate spike witwicky. wear a condom you rat bastard." Another was more upfront: "die bitch."

It's Twitter. It's that time-honored "opinions are like assholes" remark. So, I'm not paying this too much mind. It'll blow over in a few days. I got another fathers day with my dad. That was all that mattered. He was lucid. We all had dinner, including Buster and Jess. Dad has good days and bad, but I'm lucky enough to have seen Megan get to a point where she can form permanent memories, and she'll at least have some concrete memories of her grandfather. This year, his gifts were more aligned to comfort - fewer tools, and more stuff like pajamas and slippers.
