I Am NOT Angry!!!!

• I have started a few blogs over the course of the years, none of which I have maintained much interest in over time. This one might end up in the same 'Discard' heap on the internet, forever circulating through the ether long after my expiry date. Or perhaps, once I am gone, my soul will join all those bits and bytes, a sort of digital reincarnation. 

But I digress. I started this blog in order to rant and rave about issues, mostly political, that I preferred not to impose on my friends, either in person or on social media sites. While I will always love a good argument, arguing with friends about political brick walls really accomplishes nothing other than creating animosity over the stupidity of both sides the story. 

In reality, as time has passed, I have also come to realize that I have focussed way too much negative energy on getting angry about things, as opposed to channelling that effort into making changes, adding to the positive flow of thought and action. Creating good stuff, good karma, happy thoughts, or whatever it is that keeps us threading our way between Skylla and Charybdis. In addition, there is so much more to comment on than bloody politics. 

While a group of baboons is indeed called a troop, I much prefer Frosty Wooldridge's oft repeated assertion that it is called a CONGRESS, even if I mostly disagree with his politics and his assertion is actually an urban myth of sorts.....

Indeed, I have come to a major cross-roads in life. Many stories have led me here, both my own and others. Some of my own stories I have examined in great detail, wondering how much is real and how much I have tweaked in order to support my thesis of who I am. That is the truth, though, isn't it? We bend and shape the facts in our life stories to make them fit our vision of ourselves, to 'spice' them up a bit so that the mundane chronology doesn't bore others to death, let alone put our own selves to sleep....which I could actually use these days, so perhaps I shall bore myself to sleep with some reality.
