Whiskey and Writing

I’m finding that people are finding things controversial that didn’t used to be considered that way. In either conducting my own research into politics, or just the daily nightmare of the national media, people try to make things controversial to get people to come over to their side. People themselves either don’t want to do any research into the simplest of topics, or are quick to label everything as “hate speech” so their opponents will have to be shut up. Frankly, we’re supposed to be the freest country in the world, and we can’t even come to terms to calmly and simply have open debate. I’ve never attended rallies, or anything like that, other than the arguments you might get in with family, or people online, I’m not in the political process that much but I’m working on something that should be fairly accepted by both sides of the aisle. I’ve been working on it for awhile, so I hope it does well. I think this is a sign too, people are being agitated, and taking to politics in way...

There’s something to be said for saying busy. There’s a lot of crazy stuff going on in the world these day, and staying busy is a nice way to make sure you don’t get swallowed up by the craziness. The trick however is to find things you enjoy doing. If you don’t enjoy doing whatever hobby, job, or activity it is you’re doing, you’re not going to finish what you’re doing. I started taking online classes, and doing a lot of writing. It honestly, works about 99 percent of the time, because you still have to be engaged in the world, but honestly a little distraction from time to time is good.
