Too long

It's been way too long since I've posted. Sorry. There have been many times I thought, "I should blog something about that", but honestly it's just been too much. Way too much, to sort through and find something that made sense in my head to put in writing.

In light of shootings and war and natural disasters, my meaningless ramblings seemed trivial. I know that I set this up for family to hear about the kids and so on, but every day it seemed like something else in the world that made what I have to say and share seem stupid and idiotic.

But, like everyone, I guess it's time to put things behind me. Everyone else seems to have moved on. Oh, there's still a news story now and then, but for the most part they're back to talking about Brittney in rehab and Paris in jail. So all is right(?) with the world again.

So why am I still angry? Why do I want to find the NBC execs who decided to air that "manifesto" so soon after the shootings at VT and punch them in the face? Why do I want to go to Capitol Hill and collectively bash Congress' and the Presidents heads together and tell them to get along and fix this war thing already? Why does the fact that our Governer is running for President just turn my stomach and make me want to vomit right in his stupid cowboy hat?

There, I vented it. I still don't feel any better, but at least maybe someone out there can sympathize with what I'm saying. You want to do something, you at least want to say something, but anything "normal" people like us say or do doesn't make a lick of difference, so all we can do is go back to our life and hobbies and personal issues and pray for those who can make a difference.
