Let’s take a shot or two.

No, I’m not talking about liquor. I’m talking about that wonderful vaccine that is being pushed upon us. I had covid last year around Thanksgiving. Of course, the one holiday where you want to taste everything on your plate, i had no taste or smell. For those that haven’t had it, losing your smell and taste if freaking crazy, you literally have it one day, wake up the next and nothing.

After I had Covid, the vaccine was being talked about. I said how the hell can you come up with a vaccine that damn quick? We have HIV for 40 years and no true medical breakthroughs to help stop or get rid of it. But in less than a year, you expect me to believe they have a vaccine?

Well, the vaccine came out and its two shots and your protected. Yeah, still not getting it. My thoughts were since I already had covid, shouldn’t my antibodies protect me from getting it again? I saw a few people who got the vaccine end up in the hospital, have crazy side effects, or ended up dying. Yeah, I really want that shit.

Then we have this goofy ass President who said we shouldn’t trust the vaccine until it is approved while running (or staying in his basement) for President. To now making it mandatory to have for businesses and the military. Who’s not part of that mandatory shot… Biden’s administration. Yeah, makes sense.

Speaking of goofy ass’s is our worthless piece of shit Governor, Pritzker. He mandated that medical and healthcare employees must get the shot. Wouldn’t you know it, I work in healthcare. Now I kept saying I wasn’t going to get the shot, for the simple fact that the government was telling me i have to get it. Anyways, I ended up getting the Johnson and Johnson shot only because I thought about my 2 year old daughter and that I need to keep this job. It kinda felt like the anthrax shots I got in the service.

P1-You’re not vaccinated, what about my safety?? P2-Wait, aren’t you vaccinated already? P1-Well yeah but now they say I can still carry covid and spread it to others. P2-Really? So the vaccine doesn’t work? P1-Yeah it works! P2-But you can still get it and spread it? P1-You’re being racist!!! P2-oook.

Folks, if you don’t want the shot, don’t get the shot. Simple. Our government and this administration is for shit. JsSayin

A letter to my unborn child.

Dear ***********

Your mother is in the living room sleeping on the couch because you are making it too uncomfortable for her to sleep on the bed, guess you can say you are already being difficult. I on the other hand, am sitting here in the bedroom thinking how much my life is going to change when you finally come into this world.  I’ve stated before that I started a new chapter in the book of life when I started to date your mother, but you little girl, are going to be a whole new book.  A book that I never thought I would have in my hands.

I sit here wondering what you are going to look like.  We’ve seen ultrasound pictures, but those are just pixels on a piece of paper.  Will you have my eyes?  Will you have your moms’ lips?  Hopefully you have her hair, although your mom has already said she hopes you don’t.

When your mother said she was pregnant, I knew that my life was no longer about me, it was about you.  People have told me that I am going to spoil you, and they’re probably right, but I’m also going to be hard on you.   I’m going to be hard on you because my job is to be your father, not your friend.  You won’t understand that for probably the first 20 years of your life, but you will.

You’re coming into this world with a mom who is going to love and care for you tremendously. I know this because she already does the same with your brother and sister.  Your mom is very chill…as long as you listen. So, my advice to you is to do what your told. Cause honestly, I don’t want to hear your mom yell.

As for the other people in the family, they will love you in their own way. I’m sure your brother and sister will pick on you just as I picked on your aunts.  And I know your grandparents are going to spoil the heck out of you and it’s going to upset me when I tell them no to something and they’ll do it anyways.  But that’s ok, it their job as grandparents.

As for me, your dad.  Well…  I’m going to cheer you on as you take your first steps. I’m going to cheer you on as you ride your bike for the first time without your training wheels.  I’m going to cheer you on when you get stage fright in the school play.  I’m going to cheer you on as you walk to get your diploma.

I’m going to support you when you do a goofy volcano for a science project. I’m going to support you when you choose what career you are going to go to college for. I’m going to support you when you tell me you are in love with your boyfriend…. or girlfriend.

I’m going to love you the moment our eyes meet in the delivery room.  I’m going to love you when you draw on the wall.  I’m going to love you when you don’t get an “A” in math. I’m going to love you when you tell me you hate me as you slam your bedroom door. I’m going to love you when you start to date a boy that I disapprove of.  I know all of this because I love you more than anything in the world right now and we haven’t even met.

Love,

Dad
