QUITTING and NOT

 Blogging and Posting

This morning I wondered why.  The screen's an empty canvas, a lump of clay, a bolt of cloth, a blank page--a creative outlet.  And though I'm thinking about possible readers or viewers, I'm doing it for myself essentially, doing it because something wants to manifest.  It's the same with photography - Sometimes the picture leads, sometimes the thought leads to a picture, and one thing leads to another so I'm not quitting yet. I'm still entertaining myself.

International, National and Local News

A trio guaranteed to bring you down even when the sun shines, so I'm retiring from the 'need-to-know' syndrome and quitting my daily plunge into the abyss.

"Way Down We Go"

However, I don't believe "we get what we deserve" - we get what we get for reasons we can only speculate about...blame the roads taken and chance. As to the current political moment; no one deserves it,
not even 'Godzilla'

(2 minutes forty seconds that felt like twenty minutes)

"Exercise is good for people, as everyone knows. But scientists have surprisingly little understanding of its cellular impacts and how those might vary by activity and the age of the exerciser."

NEGATIVITY

Feeling low but posting just to keep my two cents in.

Still ill though better than yesterday. News is depressing when not infuriating.

The Neighborhood feels alien and haunted.

'Tis NOT jolly presently, and I can't seem to bring myself to get that Holidaze post up because every picture reminds me of where I would rather be.

This too will pass.
