Second Shot – Countdown to Immunity

Quarantine has been tough. I basically haven’t left the house for a year and a half. I’ve had a lot of time to think.
That’s not usually a good thing for me.
But I’ve also had a chance for reflection. Introspection is an art, and looking inward isn’t always easy to do. It’s necessary. Sure. But enough is e-fucking-nough.

COVID-19 Vaccines – Countdown to Immunity

I got my 2nd shot last week, and I am completely looking forward to freedom.

But it’s got me wondering…
What happens after you’re immune, and you get exposed to the Coronavirus? Say you breath in a big batch of spikey deathblobs. Do they stay inside you? Lurking. Waiting for your body to let your defenses down? Or does your body attack. Send out the hungry phagocytes and macrophages to gobble up all those yummy virus nuggets… or whatever.
I think it might be the last one. But don’t believe me. I’m a musician, not a damn Doctor.

Flashback 2018 – Did I Say That?

It’s about the future, not the fear.

‘Life’s unexpected turns and twists are what make being human interesting. Don’t fear the unknown…plan for the future the best you can, and then run forward into it, with open eyes, mind and heart.’ ~jg

I don’t remember sharing this thought two years ago, but according to Facebook I did. It sounds like something I’d say, so I guess I believe it. I’m also a little too lazy to actually scroll back to check.

Anyway, it seems even more appropriate now, as we’re trying to vaccinate our way out of The 2020 Pandemic. COVID-19 has proven to be an unexpected twist like no other, an abrupt turn of events that literally brought our lives to a standstill. You can’t plan for these things. Or live in fear of the next one. You can only hope to survive. To stay safe and healthy. So you can run forward into another new day after this one, with hope for the future, however unexpected it may become.

I hope everyone stays safe and well. Wear a mask, even if you’ve gotten the shots. Wash your hands. Be kind. ~jg

Dear Georgia

It’s up to you. It really is.

The Senate race in your state means EVERYTHING to Georgia, and to all Americans who are suffering during this pandemic. The Republican Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, has blocked every good thing that the People’s House has tried to do for this country in our time of great need. But your two Senate seats can change that. Those two seats can mean the difference between getting a $2000 check each month, and not getting anything more from our government to help the country through this pandemic. It can mean EVERYTHING to people who are on their literal last dollar.

And GEORGIA gets to decide. Will our country get help, or will Moscow Mitch and a small minority of rich white assholes in the Republican Party deny everyone else the help they truly need.
You get to decide, Georgia. History will remember your choice. Please vote to help America…and not just the rich white pricks who giggle at the words ‘trickle down’ over cocktails at the club.

Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom. If you agree, please feel free to share, along with your own two cents. ~jg

3000 dead in one day from coronavirus, more than died on 9/11

On 9/11, 2977 people tragically died. For 19 years we have all mourned the tragic loss of so many.
Today, over 3000 succumbed to Coronavirus in America. A 9/11 is happening every single day, but instead of outrage, people are refusing to wear masks and threatening people who wear them with violence.
What the everloving fuck is wrong with these people? ~jg

Nothing is OK, Mr. Trump

Seriously. 120,000 Americans are dead. That’s how many the experts predicted would be dead in AUGUST if we did NOTHING at all…but today is only June 23rd!!!

25,000 Americans are being diagnosed with COVID-19 EACH DAY. 40+ Million Americans Are Unemployed. The economy is on the verge of breaking. Completely. We’re supposed to believe that the Stock Market going UP means everything is OK?!!

But it’s NOT OK. Not OK at ALL. Nothing is OK.

Mr. Trump, you are NOT doing a good job at ANY of this, and yet you are acting like the pandemic is over, the economy is great, and you don’t care about anything anymore…except your reelection.

You are censoring and silencing government scientists, denying the extreme health crisis exists, while watching as 1000s of Americans DIE…and for some fucking reason you are CELEBRATING your VICTORY?!?! This is NOT a VICTORY, asshole. You are FAILING HARD and people’s lives are being lost due to your ignorance.

What the ever-loving fuck is WRONG with you?!?!?
