Back to the basics.
Which, I must say, takes away all of the pressure. I mean, if no one is reading it I can say pretty much anything I want and no one will be there to judge me. If a blogger writes a swear on an unread blog– is it really a swear?
FUCK!!
There, are you offended?There is so much to talk about, so much going on in society today. Yet the only thing on my mind is pop culture trash. I mean, we are in the middle of what is, perhaps, the most important presidential election campaign in our history and all I can think about is how Britney is doing in the insane asylum. I figured it out the other day. I made myself a promise that for every half hour or so of crap tv– E! or whatever– that I watch I must watch double the amount of something like CNN or BBC world news. It was going really well for a very long time. Then work got wicked busy and I got kind of stressed out and I couldn’t take the real world anymore. I had to watch E! and I couldn’t watch anything else. It was like, real world overload. So I understand how people care more about Britney then who will be our next president. It is easier. It isn’t stressful and she doesn’t have any type of impact on the economy or death or anything.
None of which makes it ok. But, sometimes, a bit of unreality is what we need. It is just when it becomes the end all be all of what we pay attention to that it becomes a problem.
So, for me, back to a 1:2 ratio of E! to CNN/BBC. Because really, all the death and destruction is a whole lot easier to take when it comes from someone speaking with a british accent.
So…yeah. What else? Work? Yes, I suppose I should do some. FUn. But yeah, good to be back I guess.
Cheers.
