Welcome

Dear Reader,

I know what you’re thinking, “Another blog???” I know, I know.   It sucks that so many people have internet access and a keyboard these days!  It sucks that we all have something to say!  

I just can’t help myself.  I need a place to write between projects.  I feel like I have so much to say.  We came into this world screaming.  How can we just turn away from the many injustices, indignities, all the things that just piss you off?   I do admit I have to actively disconnect from the news because I get angry.  I get so enraged when I hear about religion shaping the government, homosexuals not granted equal civil rights, or Lady Gaga receiving 20 million hits on youtube while Christopher Hitchens lay dying in his Washington D.C. apartment and hardly anyone gives a shit!  It seems the world has become over-saturated and the only reactions one can evoke are from the sensational.  That bothers me.  

Actually, a lot of things bother me, but I know it's because I care. I do everything I can to not become negative or cynical, although I have been accused of that on many occasions, but I’m not.   Really.  Truly cynical and bitter people despise me because they can’t stand the fact that I actually believe things can be better.  I know I can't really change anyone else except myself and how everything affects me.  So, I won't stop caring. If and when I do, the worms will have at me- but never ever before then. 

So, follow me and the stuff that bothers me, comment generously and debate me if you feel the need.

You have a keyboard and internet access, don’t you?

For Man’s sake, engage!
