I'm Back / No promises

Yes I am blogging. Return after return. Back by popular demand. And when I say popular demand, I mean myself telling me I should.

Todays Topics?
  • Politics
  • Religion
  • Relationships
  • Social Networking
  • Food
Sound like to much to cover? Consider me talented for the moment... So here is my best shot.

Politics

Scary right? Republican primary in full swing. Office politicians pointing fingers. Infighting, outfighting, real fighting, and policy fighting all running rampant. Everybody feels like they are on the short end of the stick and media from any angle fighting for their agenda...

What's to be said and done? Sit back and enjoy the circus. Hard not to be exasperated after it all. I am just thinking about it. So my way of dealing. Changing it from CNN to Colbert Report and The Daily Show, becoming upset and changing it to ESPN... then upset for another reason, going over to Travel Channel and feeling sorry I don't travel as much because Money is an object...

My "light-hearted" view on politics = A bad circus I paid for, and just can't get away from the elephant and horse droppings smell...

Religion

Although I know longer subscribe to any in specific these days, I was born and reared Catholic. What did that do for me? One word. Guilt.

It rules my life for better or worse. I "feel" I have to do or not do something... Even those things with NO moral/spiritual/religious implications and ramifications. The kicker. Somehow I feel like it was my idea all along until I realize. Guilt I was conditioned into did me in.

So is it an actual thought that was original? OR was it a conditioned response. I think the saying, "Only God Knows" would be applicable but... all I know GUILT has me in a bind at the moment. Now the only ways out, are harder than climbing Camelback Mountain after an all night bender on straight tequila.

Relationships

Non-existent in the romantic sense. Plentiful in the friendship sense. Hard to manage in every sense.What do I have resembles less and less something found at the Poetry section of Barnes & Noble and is more likely to be found in the puzzle section at a fading Toys R Us... Partly my fault. I mean, who goes to Toys R Us anymore?

Social Networking

Love-Hate relationship. It allows me to keep track of those people who are no longer in my immediate vicinity and vice versa. That being said, organic situations seem harder to come by. But virtually, everything is a riot. I have a grand time when I spend time with people organically still. But Facebook. Google+, this site, Twitter, and anything else that keeps us connected... thank you for changing life as we know it. I didn't request it, I sometimes enjoy it, immensely, but overall, something is still missing. That's my personal opinion, it may be a terrible tragedy, but so be it.

Food

My eyes hurt from staring at this. My brain is throbbing because I am neglecting my stomach for staring at this, so now I will go feed my face. You should do the same. If you read this, eat something. Anything. I will feel I benefited and/or hurt you. That's what I strove to do.

Not really
