I am sitting here wondering of all the places I'd rather be, but why do we not think of the places we rather NOT be... Because we are a selfish lot thats why. We want what we dont/cant/never will have. Honestly. You are guilty of thinking, I'd rather be *blank.* Rarely do we think, I'd rather not be...
Unfortunately that's how we work. Mostly. Not always. This isn't a proven science. I'm not a professor nor do I play one on TV nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
I'd rather be near a beach. No electronics in site. Except my cell. So I can check in on Foursquare, get a badge, post in on facebook, and get jealous and congratulatory comments so that I will have fodder for Twitter and blogging later...
I'd rather be there, but then it will revert me back to here. So if I would rather be there.. and there will lead me back here... by correlation...
My head hurts...

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
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.
