Rearing Its Ugly Head

If you watch the clips on Youtube, Rumble, TikTok or some other platform with videos you will see a blurb under some of them that says 'So and So destroyed'.  Or it might even say 'So and So' annihilated.  If you then watch the clip, you will see two people sort of debating.  If you want to call it that and one of them might get a good quip in.  The other might in turn, have a lame answer or no answer at all.  But after the clip finishes, you might have noticed that the 'So and So' who was destroyed is still there and in one piece too.  You might also notice them showing up in another clip where their new opponent might be getting destroyed or annihilated or they might be getting destroyed or annihilated all over again.  But then as that clip comes to an end, everyone is still in one piece.

Now just for the record.  Destroyed: 1) to ruin the structure, organic existence or condition of.  2) to ruin as if tearing to shreds.  Annihilated: 1) to cause to cease to exist : to do away with entirely so that nothing remains.

Yet as we previously noted these destroyed and annihilated people are still there and in one piece too.  And sometimes these are people we don't like too much.  Talk about being disappointed.

And Puff Daddy, P. Diddy whose real name is Sean Combs who we all thought was some genius music mogul, rapper artist and big time entrepreneur, is just a run of the mill, garden variety Sadist.  If we are to believe just a modicum of the allegations that have been leveled against him.  Maybe like his illustrious predecessor the Marquis De Sade, Puffy Daddy will do his best work in prison.  So maybe not all is lost.  But we, like a whole lot of people, really thought he was somebody.  Talk about disappointment.

And the Major League Baseball season opened.  By the end of the season only two teams will win a League Championship and only one will win the World Series.  So most fans will wind up gnashing their teeth.  As they say, Baseball will break your heart.  It is part of its endearing charm.  But right now every fan can dream.  Their team wins it all.  The final out clutched firmly in one of their heroes glove.  The players dousing each other with Champagne and the victory parade down the main through fare of their City.  Everyone can just about see it, taste it, touch it.  Let's leave it like that.  We want to end this article on a positive note.
