Do I appear shallow? I'm not sick anymore. Is it bad that I don't want to blog about what's going on in the world right now? Would I rather give an unenthusiastic shout out to the 4th of July and blog about the world's ugliest dog? It's not that I don't care. I just don't have much of an opinion on things except what most people think. London bombings: that sucks, hope it doesn't happen again. In a nutshell. Second London attack: dudes, f*** off and leave them alone. In a nutshell. Bush's nominee for Supreme Court: hope he's not toooooo conservative. In a nutshell.
What does that mean? Am I too selfish? Wrapped up in my own stupid little world? Perhaps I am just not that interested in world goings-on in general. Particularly politics. I sort of "tuned in" after September 11th, becoming pseudo-interested, and its been interesting, without a doubt and I do enjoy conversations about it and reading the actual thoughtful opinions of others on blogs and in the news. But it takes a lot of energy to research and ponder on issues and politics and religion and how everyone in the world relates to one another on those topics. I need to focus on something else. I've found myself diverting from my normal actions and principles lately, doing things I know I shouldn't do. Saying things I know I shouldn't say. It's like the invisible barrier that has kept me in check for so long has cracked and junk is oozing out. That's not me. It's so negative. Yet part of me is tired of "being in check". It's hard to be righteous and good and thinking of everyone else all the time.

Perhaps for me pondering comes naturally. But for myself, I find that, whatever energy it does take, I am not able to stop reflecting on these things. It is a churning tide of its own, a thing that must always be revisited in order to make sense of the world...
