The Weight of Reality

This weekend I kept the posts here light and airy. I felt I had to do that for you and for me. Sometimes the news and world events seem just too difficult to deal with on a daily basis.

Between the multitudes of deaths in Iraq, the attempt by Fox News to make President Clinton appear to be a crazy man and the news confirming that the war in Iraq has been a recruiting tool for terrorism, there isn’t much to feel good about.

I awoke early this morning and my mental processes wouldn’t let me go back to sleep. My brain wanted to make me think about the things I mentioned above. Sometimes my brain and its mental processes are not my best friend. It demands that I deal with reality even when I don't want to and think that I can't.

I know I'll deal with these realities as I always do, but damn, it sure would be nice to get a break and have some good news to think about, just for a change.
