It's hard to post...

When you have nothing to do.

Strange part of human nature. When you're bored, even the most basic task seems Herculean. Oh man, I have nothing to do today....I have to put on PANTS! What?

Now that I'm in grad school and working, and have very little free time, suddenly the urge to do something constructive with that time has returned. When I was bored out of my mind with nothing to use my time, I couldn't get myself to accomplish much of anything. Writing seemed to be out of the question, because it required concentration I had no ability to muster.

A few thoughts on:

Politics--I don't know how, but I've become more cynical and have begun politics even more. When Bush was in office, I was cynical (along with millions of others) about how stupid our society was to put him in office. Now that Obama has taken power and become a whore to the Republican party, I've lost all hope that we will ever have a president who cares about the poor. I don't even want to think about it anymore.

Sports--Now that the Yankees have won the World Series and restored order to the universe, can't complain. Maybe a little bit about their offseason moves, which weren't as bad as some people have surmised but certainly not the perfect course of action. Oh well.

I did take an obscene amount of joy in Favre blowing a game with an awful cross-body pass. I kind of like both teams in the Super Bowl, but I'll root for the Saints. They need it more.

Entertainment--I'm glad that absolutely nobody seems to be backing up Jay Leno in this NBC fiasco. Leno isn't funny, never was, but senior citizens love him so he gets ratings. Maybe Conan wasn't right for the Tonight Show, though. His humor is actually funny, and Leno had destroyed the franchise to the point where it wasn't a job you'd actually want. Go to FOX at 11:30 so there will be two options for the timeslot for viewers with a sense of humor.


A few things in my head for possible blog entries, to come...
