The news lately has saddened me. No big surprise there. Both locally and nationally it seems there are just some really bad people doing really bad things. I know, I know...I said I don't watch the news. And I guess that's surprising too; I've not actually sat down and watched a news show, I'm just getting these stories from here, yonder and there. The scrolling bar at the bottom of CNN when I pass it (it's almost hypnotic! Usually I do end up getting sucked in, especially for the entertainment portion) or when I'm trying to catch the local weather report I see and hear things that I don't want to see and or hear.

Someone just came in here who gave me a whiff of school cafeteria sloppy joe. You know that aroma don't you? Interesting...

Anyway. Just floating by lately, trying to figure out my Next Big Thing. I'ma major drama queen and I thrive on drama. I need to be doing something, planning something, stirring the pot and getting my panties wadded and all that jazz. Nuttin. Things have slowed down lately and I guess that's okay. I shouldn't need so much "stuff" going on to get my motor running. How many metaphorical references can I squeeze into this paragraph? We'll see. I need to start working on living in the moment again, enjoying the here and now. Because soon the here and now will be the there and yesterday.

There's my philosophical bent for today. Now give me more cowbell!
