I Need a Lobotomy :D  
I haven’t written because life is boring – I guess that’s good right? Better than over the top drama or horrible news. Those seem to be the two that bring me here.

I keep wanting to write, but then I get distracted with this or that (mostly that), and then don’t find myself here. I really do want to be better about writing.

I’ve been reading a lot of crap in the news (seriously, the news ‘profession’ has died—just saying). I am seriously starting to believe that whatever chemicals they put meat and milk are somehow turning everyone into psychotic killers, lunatics or increasing their plain dumb ass-ness. I’ve never read so many of the ‘same’ stories, happening in totally different parts of the world, at the same time. Something is in the air, water … something. I don’t get it.

That, or “social media news” as I like to call this new way of reporting … is really bored and just scraping up these stories, and then they share each other’s crap. It’s all just CRAP. Tell us about the reality of what is going on in the Middle East, Asia, etc. Don’t give me these stories of stupid people doing stupid things – this is not news. People … Stupid since the Cave Man Days. Nothing new there.

I had a health scare last week. I’ll spare the boring details and just say it was a serious wake-up call for me. I’m viewing things differently, and changing bad habits of mine. I don’t know how long this fear will stay in me, but I hope it’s a really long time. It’s been a week and I am already feeling better.

I still have the stress though – stress about dad, stress about work, stress about school, stress about friends, and as stupid as it sounds, stress about video games. They’re usually my escape (and still are), but lately I have just been one Huge Ball of Grouch. Everything everyone does either sends me directly to anger, or I get very annoyed with them for a long time. I don’t like it. I think it’s all the stress, and then I come online to wind down, and people are asking me to work for them because they’re too lazy to farm the crap themselves, or level the professions themselves (Yes, talking WoW here). It just all sends me to Looneyville.

So yeah, that’s my life these days. Stressing like crazy, raging like crazy, and just over all one Ball of Mood Swings.

The great news though? We actually are getting out of dodge this summer for a family vacation. It’s been like 8 years since all of us have gone away together in the summer. I managed to find a cottage on a lake in Cape Cod and it was actually really well priced for a full week there. I was shocked (it was like fate), especially this late into June. I confirmed with the lady and the check is in the mail! So, I am really excited about that. It’s five weeks away though and I dunno if I can survive that long for vacation ROFL! I know, I’ll be fine.

Anywho … that’s life, right? I hope everyone’s having a great week so far! <3

I think people are just addicted to short, violent snippets of news. Regular news is thrown to the side and I constantly am getting "new updates" for things that happened a long time ago. It's stressful and pretty much ridiculous.

I'm glad you're going out for a vacation! That sounds amazing!

Amazing the the media portrays things anymore. It is sad and disturbing at the same time.

Wonderful that you're going on vacation with the whole family. Take lots and lots of photos for great memories. Maybe make a shutterfly photo book when you're done?

Well...
>> I’ve been reading a lot of crap in the news (seriously, the news ‘profession’ has died—just saying). <<

It hasn't died, but it has changed and moved. Much of professional journalism has been taken over by propaganda. Much of the actual news is therefore now handled by activists, storytellers, and other people who may or may not be making money at it but are various levels of serious about dispensing information. So finding accurate news requires searching widely and learning which venues or individuals are fairly reliable.

The mass media sells what will sell, which is sensationalism. Murder rates down, column inches up basically. Social media potentially could bypass this but is still prone to people using the Internet for pictures of cats (which I am guilty of myself).

I have not written much eaither. Due to the fact that the same as you. I am boring right now. The most exciting thing that I am doing is starting another 1000 peice puzzle and reading two books - Lord of the flies - and Kingdom Keepers 3 - (kingdom keepers is a series).
I have also been watching a lot of news the news that I come across a lot is just a lot of crazy shit. Mostly of which is shootings which I find in my news feed from Abc news or The today show or whatever. I just can't believe what I am seeing in the news. They really need to come up with something new.
I as well have been having a lot of changes in life so i have not been able to get them all written down yet cause i don't know how to write them down.
however my medications have change and they might change on the 30th of july. so we shall see what happens. Ugh. But I am glad your doing well.
