I must admit that my interest in things political has been on the wane as of late. I suspect it’s got to do with this moving thing. But I do find myself with time on my hands, and much as I wipe them off (the time remains) and I don’t seem to want to use it by ranting about the continuing antics of Mitt-wit and other GOPer personages.
For those of you who aren’t WordPressers, we have this notification thing, which once you comment, sends you all the other comments to that post. In that I notice that some of my bloggy friends garner kazillions of comments. At least it appears to me who has never had my dream fulfilled of a real forum of discussion.
I say oh well. I know not what is the magic formula. Perhaps it’s my personality, or lack of same, or the shortness of my hair, or the model of the car I drive. I mean, the world is slightly off kilter when the PioneerWoman gets 40,ooo plus readers to devour her latest words on mascara.
Which all comes to mean that I am not sure if I’m reaching a natural turning point wherein I become that hopelessly self-centered blogger of trivia. And some of them, as I point out are hugely successful. And I read their blogs and enjoy them immensely. Perhaps I’m, just *gasp* BORING!!
Well perhaps I am.
That’s an indictment isn’t it?
Could anything be worse?
Cancer ridden? Bigamist? Immoral trollop?
Not as bad as being boring.
I know I have suffered more from boredom in the last weeks than I could have imagined. I guess to be bored is to be boring.
In any event, (whatever that means) I feel strangely unable to think of anything witty, or brilliant to say.
Do I have writer’s block?
Dorothy Parker would know. I could ask her, except she’s dead.
Well, I have to head off to the laundromat. Oh I wish I could regale you with tales of that experience. At 62, I really figured those days were behind me I tell ya.
And then off to pick up the debit cards from the bank, pay the Verizon bill, stop by the post office for mail, and about three or four other exciting things. Boy don’t you envy me? I envy me. Perhaps that is the problem. I’m self-absorbed. Or absorbent. Or absorbing, or I’m simply into abs.
Go figure.
I definitely don’t think you’re boring! I think that with all the crap that goes on in the political realm, we’ve just grown weary. I’m to the point that I don’t even want to have an opinion about it anymore because it’s all just a big load of hooey anymore. I just haven’t see any one candidate out there that gives a rat’s hiney about the people of this nation, unless they have a gargantuan portfolio. We just had an election up here that also included a proposition on making it illegal to discriminate against gay, lesbian, and transgender people in relation to housing and jobs. The turn-out was enormous and many polling place ran out of ballots. Many people were turned away without being allowed to cast their vote. Officials later determined the results ratified even though 40 percent of the precincts ran out of ballots. That should never happen. Prop 5 failed by 58%, not surprisingly. Did I mention that Alaska is a Red state? Yeah, welcome to my world. So, I’ve given up on voicing my political opinions while living here lest risking exploding that vein in my head. I do still vote. That won’t change.
Try Googling our esteemed congressman Don Young and his meanderings. He’s a hoot. Even more entertaining is the fact that he has been elected twenty times for the privalege of representing the people of this fine state. In the dictionary his image is pictured next to the word “buffoon.”
I can’t wait to move back to New Mexico. I know that there is a Republican governor right now, but at least you can have an intelligent conversation with most people there even though you may have conflicting opinions.
Soon you’ll be moving in and you’ll wish for bordom!
Oh it’s just sickening everywhere isn’t it? I think I have other things on my mind right now, and I’m not patient enough to deal with it. But it doesn’t seem to matter where you go, the same things happen. No politician is interested in anything other than re-election and that seems to start the minute they are elected. I’m sure I’ll get back into it when we finally get settled. We are sure busy running around lining things up. Thanks for the encouragement.
I am bored by them. I, however, am not boring. Nor are you.
We are islands of perfection, each and every one of us. I guess. lol…best to ya!
I’m just preoccupied right now with our infestation of fleas. Yuck. Big time chemical spraying in the morning, so we have to leave the house for four hours. And for today, I am wearing my New Balance shoes with white socks, soaked in Deep Woods Off.
Oh I do know you troubles with fleas. Had to do the same thing myself once. And yes, before I walked in the meadow, I had to spray my entire body down with OFF. Yuck. More in the post today.
