I don't know how this blog knows it's me, but I just logged on from work by only clicking "sign in". I didn't type in anything, but by god, this is Earwig2 alright!
Anyway, not to bring the conversation back down to a sophomoric level after C.'s right-on rant about the lack of leadership in this seemingly godforsaken country, but I'm starting to wonder if the only way to get through these terrible times is to drink and/or otherwise elevate your mind. Meditation might be a healthier means or doing so. But for now, I think I'll drink. I'm afraid that the course of the nation and the world has already been set. I can protest war; I can stand in front of a Salvation Army kettle and ring a bell at x-mas; I can write letters to my senator about genocide in the Sudan; I can avoid driving through mud puddles and splashing old people and invalids on the sidewalk. But what does it all matter? We have a short time on this planet, and it may be a lot shorter than we think. So why not have a little fun? All I really want to do is watch movies, listen to music, have some beer, cook some food, read books, do crosswords, blog a little, and occasionally get laid. And right now, it takes all of my efforts to make that last thing happen. I don't have a lot of energy left for caring about things.
