Look in my eyes. It's you and me. It always has been.
For the past five or six years, I have been sharing my silly thoughts with you any time I leave the country. I write a blog in an acceptably sloppy style from the perspective of a traveling or touring American. More specifically, I share my ridiculous thoughts as a regular guy from Albuquerque. I always say that when I go somewhere, I take Albuquerque with me.
That may sound familiar to you.
I have a weird and vulnerable dilemma. My statistics for this blog are pretty respectable. Last summer I had to change the address for the blog, I lost the archives, and my stats were still respectable. Do you know what I mean when I say respectable? I mean rock star. My dilemma is: should I continue to write this blog when I'm not on the road? Is it interesting to read about a guy from Albuquerque in Albuquerque? What if I lose my rock star stats? How many questions will I ask in this paragraph?
Juli wants me to keep writing it in America. That right there is enough for me to give it a shot. So here it goes. Let's have a shot together.
The US is going to have an election in a week or so. Look at you, all worried about it. I think it's pretty normal for people to worry that they are surrounded by idiots. It's like, "I know what to do, but no one else is as smart as I am," or maybe even, "We know what to do, but people aren't as smart in other parts of the country." I am here to tell you that you are not surrounded by idiots. Idiots are out there, but Americans will never, ever elect Donald Trump. You are surrounded by beauty and life. Most of the people around you are kind and have something interesting to say. Strangers seem scary and strangers are afraid of you.
I'm not about to dive into deep philosophy or try to solve social problems with my nonsense thoughts. I just want to remind you of some things you already know. We can all do better, we can all be better, we are all afraid of each other and ourselves. We will be better.
I just came back from the future and there are three things to know: Americans don't elect Trump, in fact "Trump" becomes a word that is a synonym for failure. You should take good care of the people you love. You should be kind to the people you don't love.
I only went one year into the future, so I can't report on flying cars. The only thing I can tell you about that is: not yet.
I am an American in America. Albuquerque in Albuquerque. I'm going to hang out here for a bit.
Wanna come?
