As the longest year in memory comes to a close, let’s look
back on some notable moments.
Just kidding!
Let’s put this bastard in the rear view mirror and step on
the gas!
Let’s look at the future and what I’m looking forward to in
the 2.0.1.9.
The first thing that I can’t wait for is the Democrat
takeover of the House of Representatives. While we will still have the Worse
President in American History in office (for however much longer), we will have
a hopefully strong new class of Democrats, featuring not only the most women
ever but some great new women of color with progressive values. I am hoping for
not only an impeachment attempt on the Orange Simp but also bills put forth
that will clean up some of the messes that have been started in the previous
two years. Things like a better healthcare plan than the ACA (single-payer
maybe?), immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the Dreamers, an
end to the horrors of the incarcerating asylum seekers and other immigrants,
prison reform, action on climate change and gun control. Granted, I’m being
overly optimistic, but a girl can dream.
On the pop culture front, I want to see Captain Marvel and
then see how she figures in the wrap up of “Avengers: Infinity War” with “Avengers:
End Game.” I’m guessing that Peter Parker is going to be okay because the
sequel to “Spiderman: Homecoming” comes out next fall. However, since it’s
called “Spiderman: Far From Home” he might not be completely out of the woods.
Even though I’m a scaredy cat, I’m excited for Jordan
Peele’s new movie, “Us.” The trailer looked incredible and based on “Get Out,”
it should be pretty good. “John Wick 3” will be out too and I want to see
fine-as-aged-wine Keanu Reeves kicking ass. . I
Next year is the last season of Game of Thrones and I’m a
little sad to see it come to an end. On the other hand, going out on top
instead of waiting to jump the shark is the way to do it, so salute to GoT.
British superstar Sade had two songs featured in movies, A
Wrinkle in Time and Widows, in 2018 so I’m hoping that she will drop a CD and
go on tour in 2019. Sade is the musical equivalent to Halley’s Comet, so
finally catching her live is a goal for me.
Well, we’re only a few hours away now so here’s to everyone
having a wonderful New Year!
