It’s 3 AM and I’m awake.  As i sit here looking at my computer screen trying to figure out what I’m gonna blog about nothing really comes to mind.  I could start ranting/raving about the fact that DOMA was over turned and proposition eight is finally been repealed; however, I figured that with the many political posts all over the Internet, everybody else has that topic pretty much covered.

Let’s not get started about Paula Deen and how she’s being vilified by the press and also her ex sponsors.

The interesting thing is the fact that the only reason I know about all these events as I was in the states for about one week. I got to enjoy United States television news once again and realized why I love living in Europe so much.  I can avoid being invaded by the garbage that is being output by our national new services.

I can just sit here and enjoy reading the news on my computer and ignore the stupid stories of some people feel must be reported. It’s a wonderful feeling like a warm security blanket.  This week I set a challenge for myself to not log on Facebook for the rest of the week. On my phone I will be using Facebook messenger just to keep in touch with the wife and kids since they are on vacation in the states.  The reason for this is I find myself logging on and staying on Facebook and reading other peoples post and not putting anything online.  I figured that if I have nothing really important to post on Facebook, why log into it.   We’ll see how this challenge works.
