Stuff of Dreams

It has been way too long since I have found a moment to write.  Things started happening fast.  We are moving back to Tulsa.   A week ago, I thought the timeline was more like we’d be moving in a month, then it suddenly, literally in one day, became a week.  

In between moving and doing homework, I haven’t had a lot of time.  I have written many blog entries in my head, mostly about current issues, but then they are irrelevant within a few days as the world moves on to other, more pressing events and I find I’m no longer inspired and move on to the next story-in-my-head.

For instance, when the shootings in Tucson, AZ happened a few weeks ago, I had so much to say.   I actually started a rough draft.  Then, there was all that political fallout afterwards which got me worked up even more, so I discarded the first rough draft and started a second one, with more of a political bent.  Then the pundits on the Internet and television pretty much said everything I wanted to say and a thousand things more until I found I had waited too long.  That inspired ship had sailed, so I discarded that rough draft, too.

I am trying to stay politically sensible and mostly neutral on this blog.  People I actually know read this and I do not want to offend or hurt anyone.  My views may actually surprise some people, especially people I privately speak to about my views.  There’s a lot more to them and, someday, I do want to have a separate blog about those things.  Surprisingly to me, those views are extremely neutral by design and really shouldn't reasonably offend anyone.  The only people I judge and exclude, I suppose, are the aggressively mean.  If you are mean or support those who are mean, then you probably won’t like what I think.  That being said, I can’t think of anyone I know who would be excluded, regardless of his or her party affiliation.  Yeah, I know that sounds boring, so I’ll try to jazz it up, probably with humor and I could always take a cue from L. Ron Hubbard and add space aliens or dinosaurs.

Hey, maybe my fairly newfound political views could be so awesome I could make a cult out of them and make a lot of money when it got bigger than Scientology?  I could have mansions and yachts and gold and diamonds and…stuff, lots of stuff.

(Pausing for a moment to imagine stuff, lots of stuff.)

I will try to write more.  To those reading, thank you very much, I appreciate it.  You will be highly placed in my future cult and get lots of stuff, especially electronics.  Now, I must pack the stuff I own now, to move to where I will buy most of my future stuff.
