Front row seats to the end of the world…


I guess you can say that I’m too old for this shit.  We have an incompetent president and staff (who are systematically destroying every policy put in place by the previous administration), an opposing party that isn’t any better and a country that just doesn’t seem to give shit about fixing anything, they just want to bitch about how they were wronged by the other side….I don’t have a side I just look at the qualifications or the individual or the merit of the argument in question… Checking social media only makes me angry these days… I almost wish I could build an anachronistic town that is permanently stuck in the early 90’s…Life seemed so much simpler then.  The music was better for sure.  Anyway, I don’t want to get too negative right now…

I’m trying to get myself back into blogging…mostly so I have something to look back on a remember what life was like when I was younger (maybe try and capture the mood, spirit and events of my life in way that will accurately tell the story years from now when I look back)…I still go back regularly and read old post from 10+ years ago when I was still fairly active in blogging.  Blogging for the fun of writing seems to have gone out of style now…most blogs are political rants.

Favorite entertainment medium right now is podcast.  I love putting on one of my regulars when I get in bed for the night…something about the familiar voice that I find comforting.  Two favorites are Never Not Funny by Jimmy Pardo and The Chick McGee show.  I think Pardo has it down a little better (and makes regular updates) but Chick’s views on life resonate with me…

I feel like I don’t really live any more….not sure exactly when I died though…I still love music (bluegrass in particular of late), but I don’t have the desire to attend a concert or festival…Most of that stems from not having someone to go with.  Patty and I don’t really have the same taste in music.  At 44 I find it almost impossible to meet people I can be friends with who have enough similar interest.  I’m glad I’m with Patty, but I really wish I didn’t live in the Midwest…it’s depressing here. 

I need a hobby…I’ve never really gotten into anything.  I tend to lose interest once I learn the basics.  I think I might try astronomy though…I’ve always loved looking at the stars….maybe that will get me back into camping as well (they two seem to go hand in hand to me). 

Okay so this is day one of trying again…Not my best post over, not my worst. 

More later
