Will he ever shut up?!?!

I don't know man...it's a long story. Most of which is anchored to my April 6th post. My habits and addictions (News, Political) keep/kept my head so involved in this world...I feel I was losing focus on the next. I'm still not where I want to be spiritually, but I'm a little closer than I had been over the past several years (at least I feel I'm pointed in the right direction...albeit that I'm not stepping that way).

Your inquiry is ironic/timely...as that same question has been on my mind a lot over the past 2 months. I've thought I would start posting again if I could stay focused on my life, family and spiritual matters...but I guess I'm afraid that I would backslide right back to where I was, because I would begin to vent on current issues and fall right back into it. I just really don't want to spend a lot of time surrounded by negative energy and thought.

Stuff is getting so ridiculous in our culture, I feel like I'm almost to the point that I'm just ready to write this world off and get on with the next. Don't misinterpret that as I'm depressed and thinking about something stupid...it's quite the contrary. This effort to be fat, dumb and happy has actually lessened my stress levels and improved my thoughts.

At any rate...I don't know. I want to write...I want to blog...I just don't want to be in the place I was a couple years ago. I want my focus to be God, family and contentment, I suppose if I were more confident in my will power, I could try again...but I've been there before, and I know what my tenancies are.

Maybe I'll post this e-mail and see how it sits.

P.S.- Do you know when we went to dinner last Tuesday, that was the first State of the Union address I've missed since Bush Sr.? I'll admit that as soon as I got home, I asked the wife if she TIVO'd it for me. But I'll also admit that when she said "No", I wasn't terribly upset. And it wasn't an indication of frustration with Bush, I still stand by him...more so an indication that, along with the "Fat" and "Happy" part of that saying...I'm also getting closer to achieving the "Dumb". Ahhh...sweet freedom.
