It's the end of the world as we know it (2020 edition)

A different kind of parody this time.


[Verse 1]

That's best, it starts with a protest

in Hong Kong, the corona,

Australia's all aflame

Start of an impeachment, listen to the truth twist

Trump serves his own needs, he'll misserve all our needs

A stock market crash, dip, dive, drop, down

The lockdown makes us all frown with fear of no, one, no

Knee choked with plea, representing many more

And a police force that's worse and is protested

Right of right and coming in a hurry

With the proud boys breathing down your neck

Day by day, reporters baffled, Trumped, sickened, mislead

Look at that solar eclipse

Uh oh, an earthquake, deadly landslide, many floods

But NASA Mars rover, find some life.

Trump serves his own needs, listen how your ears bleed

Tell me when election night and tea party will say good night

His vitriolic, diabolic, slam fight, bright white

Feeling in a plight


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's the)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's the)

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel scared


[Verse 2]

Lebanon explosion, don't forget climate erosion

or B. Taylor, shout out, listen to your voice's clout

Lock them in uniform, woods burning, brexiting

Every debate escalate, most candidates deactivate

Light a candle, light a votive, call out, call out

Watch your Zooms crash, crashed, uh-oh

This means sourdough, overthrow dictator and steering clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I will vote


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared

(I feel scared) 


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Verse 3]

The other night I dreamt of friends, from digital drift divide boxes sit in a row, murder hornets

run Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Liz Warren

Nasal swab tests, adopt lots of plants, pets!

We're idiotic, quite chaotic, masked but no

Right? Right!


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Bridge]

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Chorus]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


[Outro]

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

(It's time I had some time alone)

And I feel scared


(Prompt by me)

Starting my parental journey, part 1

To be clear, I am not pregnant. Nor do I currently plan on being pregnant soon. However, I promised myself that if I was 30 and still single I'd start to explore my options for having a child either on my own or later in life with a partner. Well, 30 came and went, but 31 is still here so close enough I figure. My first step was to make an appointment to discuss options with a doctor because I could do all the research I wanted on the internet, but I knew it would overwhelm me. As I write this, I haven't had that appointment yet so no news there. Now I made this appointment in February (hey, I was still 30 then!) and it was originally scheduled for October (yes, an 8-month wait for an initial appointment), but last week the appointment got moved up to this week and things got moving! The timing feels right in a certain way. Two people I care about are having babies in the next month, someone else I love is expecting next year, and I also know multiple couples either trying or g

Starting my parental journey, part 2

You can read part 1 here . Yesterday I began the next step of my parental journey. Ironically, it was starting birth control. This medicine helps prepare my ovaries for the egg retrieval process. It was weird taking the pill to prepare for my fertility journey because you typically think of the pill as ensuring you don't get pregnant. Obviously, I'm not getting pregnant now, but I am getting ready for that eventual possibility. There have also been various bureaucratic issues that I've been dealing with. Mostly insurance stuff (as I'm sure comes as no surprise). But, thanks to a new benefit at work that started 1/1/24, my journey will be (mostly) covered. While, again, there were some bureaucratic hurdles that I had to overcome in order for this to all work out, I am immensely glad that it did work out. I am nervous though. In part I'm nervous about a lot of the practicalities of this step in my journey. For instance, I will have to inject myself with various medica
