It's amazing how fast time is going. Looking over the posting date of my last post I hadn't realized so much time had elapsed before coming up with a new idea. Sorry to my handful of fans. Liberals act like if they were in charge tragedies like the recent newsroom shooting in Maryland wouldn't have happened. Then I'm reading some hyperventilating political/social commentators extrapolating from one weird individual living in his own self-contained weird mental universe that there's some kind of male rage/war against Women. Well as one conservative blogger here said some time ago back in the day re Newtown sometimes bizarre and tragic things happen and there's almost nothing we could have done about it, nothing that could have prevented it so the whole gun control debate becomes a kind of cosmetic discussion imo. Then there's this thing about some revenge porn law that seems to have gotten stuck in the New York State Legislature that won't pass and folks are blaming Google. I'm no attorney but isn't it already illegal to post say nude pictures of myself without my consent on the Web not that you'd want to see? In our zeal to pass new laws based on the latest tragic social circumstance we should first check what's already on the books that maybe need to be better enforced. If you're having sex maybe don't leave the smartphone out? Here's the problem: reality itself is weird and bizarre and tragic things happen, sometimes rarely and in the case of guns for some reason in cycles. There are bizarre and odd individuals walking amongst us right now. All I can say and offer is don't make eye contact:)

The bogging down effect of social conservatism

The post-50 years
It must be in keeping with the aging trend but I find myself sleeping less. I fall asleep ok but I find myself prematurely waking and most of the time not really getting back to sleep. An alternative Alex Jones theory of tinnitus: maybe we can simply hear things other folks can't hear. While others may enjoy their joblessness it has a weird effect on me. It brings to the fore any depressive issues that may exist and when you're past the half-century mark you think alot more about your own mortality. Life really is short and tortoises live alot longer than man. Also when you get older you start taking the issue of hell more seriously, at least I do but I was raised Catholic and it never really leaves you. I've blogged about this before, I actually don't like work but I also don't like being out of work if that makes any sense.
