Tonight I am going to do what I always do. I’m going to put on my headphones that I oft cover with a turkey bag for a good swim. I’m going lace up my fake Jordans. Then I’m going to run four kilometers.
I slap this sign marking Providence Hospital and then I turn around, where this Pandemic allegedly began. This sign is kind of famous right now.
I am going to slap the sh☆t out of it tonight.
The first school shut down, was my old school Jackson High School where I almost got in trouble for telling my Senior class that my chosen occupation was an American Folk Hero.
When Mrs. Cossey completely lost her sh☆t saying I wasn’t taking the assignment seriously, I shut her down by firing back,
“An American Folk Hero is a legitimate occupation and there is a shortage in America today!” Then I made my case.
I ask you this. Are we going to be awesome? Are we going to pull together and get through this together? Are we going to let Italy upstage us as they sing on their balconies?
Well probably. That was really really cool.
“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”Read the rest of Dylan Thomas’ poem right here, and I’ll have an announcement tomorrow morning.

Give some toilet paper to your neighbor of you’re holding an BE BRAVE.
Every old person I know has told me,
“If I die, I die, I lived my life, and I am grateful this isn’t coming for the kids.”
BE BRAVE. And let’s actually be friends.
If I die. I die. I lived a good life. I would rather you live; it’s better you live than I.
But fight against the dying light and live like you mean it. And when this over, I hope you are never the same. For if so, this was all for nothing.
