I can't seem to get away from this stuff. Watching or listening to the news is one way for me to keep informed while I'm 'cranking things out' (writing), on the other hand, I could just go through my books and get information from that but, since I don't have a requirement to do these things, I'm all over the place. Since things are linear within cause and effect, I really have to be in a environment where I can focus on my research, but since this is usually impossible, I fall back onto internet access and the radio. Undisciplined? Unfocused? Okay. I'll take that.
So I did what a normal person would do and let my brains conjure up some stuff about the barriers that we rely on, the obsession with on-line content and since I was listening to the radio, my immediate frustration with NPR. Obviously the main topic being the nearing of default day. Then I started thinking about some of our founding fathers. I can't blame them enough for this but, if they were to come back, there is nothing they could do.
It wouldn't be enough that they were the founders. If they weren't already pissed off to approach the white house and end up getting gunned down, there would be weeks of unrest among the population.
They would be put through a investigation that will last for months, while being locked up for being crazy -- we just might never see them again. Then if for some miracle, their identities were proven and they said something about the current situation, it would just get wrapped up in another spin cycle and everything would go back to shit all over again.
What a fun distraction huh?
About The blOg
We've got some new followers on here which is awesome, so thanks for visiting. I haven't put an about section on here yet but we're working on that. Starting soon, either this week or next, we will be posting a weekly download file that has all of the articles and artwork from this blog. It's going to be like a publication, that will eventually involve other writers/contributors to it. It's all part of the process to network all of these ideas, so you can amuse yourself with some reading over the weekend. Nothing major, just having some fun, right now.
If anyone wants to get involved with this, email me or leave a comment on this page.
Also, the podcast is delayed once again, until I get all the technical shit cleared up. I'm hoping before the end of the month.
