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

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here ,  read part 6 here ,  read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
