A hard days night...

Ok the title sounded good for the theme of the blog lately. I never was a fan of the Beatles, but the words fit.

Last night after posting I sat down with my crocheting and tried to watch several shows on 9-11 that I had been looking forward to. After 5 minutes I had to turn them off, and unfortunately shows about the happenings dominated cable last night. Those events were so terrible, and I had watched so much of it when it happened, I just couldn't bring myself to fully relive it. After I got home on 9-11 I became glued to cable news networks. I spent most of my free time watching Fox news, and MSNBC. I became obsessed with the whole thing, I ate, breathed, slept, and shit news for about 3 months following the events.

For the longest time I hardly watched the news at all, not even local news, except for the weather and sports. I just couldn't bring myself and my addictive personality to go down that road again. I was news burnt. I started watching Fox news originally because of the mainstream media's liberal bias, but after taking a step back I found Fox is just as guilty as skewing the news the other way. I just don't need somebody telling me either way how to feel about stuff. I think it's horrible how people try to manipulate the masses on both sides.

I have recently started watching some network news again. Of course there is always NPR as a decent source of news, a bit liberal, but not as bad as most. I will always have a bit of the old conservative still in me. I hate what I was, and what they are as a group, but somethings I still do believe in.

On a bright note I did find a great show on CPTV on the similarities of the 3 major western religions have for all their fighting. I have always known from my religious upbringing that the Jews and the Arabs are half brothers according to the bible. The both came from Abraham from different mothers. I did not know until last night how similar the Muslim and Jewish religions really are. Allot of the words they use are the same, they both have times of fasting for God, they both have a sort of legal look of how God wants us to act. Everything is very black and white with both, no gray. But yet still there are groups amongst both of them that wants nothing more than to wipe the other group off the face of the earth. With so much in common wouldn't it make sense to go after the real enemy, The Catholic Church and rich white Republicans? They are the source of all evil in the world. Think about it, you might find I am right.

After I finally fell asleep most of my energy was taken up with weird dreams of being back in High School, but as a chick this time. I was hanging out with a bunch of cute guys who seemed interested in me. It's nice for a change to dream about the old days, without having to do it as the old me. I guess it's just my little brain trying to compensate for time lost, and a past that never was. I also had a dream about a group of 20 somethings that had painted their whole bodies gold and blue, in some big mall I had never been in before that wanted me to hang out with them. They thought I was cool, no idea why, but they did for some reason. I can't explain this one, I just hope I don't have to have it again, once was enough on that one.

Gotta go, electrol tonight wore me out. Hopefully tonights dreams won't involve a swarm of electrified bees attacking me.

Love to all, and g'nite.
