Netflix. Pinterest. Bing or Google images of pretty pics. The news sucks. It bombards us every day.
I've been watching the news too much lately and all it does is upset me, so my solution is don't watch the news for awhile.
I remember when I was on a Hawaiian vacation back in 03', how wonderful. No news at all. Just Sun and surf and listening to the wife bitch at me about getting up and going for walks. It was Heaven. I didn't feel like taking an axe-handle to the television every 15 minutes. A calm feeling creeped into my subconscious and I was at perfect ease.
I want to get that feeling back somehow. I guess not watching the news is a good start. Who needs to watch all of this mess about how we're such a racist country. How we've had not weeks, not months, not years, not decades, but centuries of racism. I don't want to hear that garbage anymore and feel like pumping rounds into Comrad Deblasio's fat face. I want to be cool. I want to just watch "Harry Potter" or throw in "Hobo With A Shotgun" an all-time classic.
I suggest the same for everyone else, because this place really sucks lately. The insanity is going full tilt 24/7.
But when spring hits...go in your yard. It's already sprung here. My zucchini is 3 inches tall and the cauliflower just poked their heads up today from the earth. Still waiting for the green onions to appear. Tomorrow, I am off to buy some corn and garlic. I have the pots all ready for 'em.
