I’ve owned this blog for a while now. But I just recently threw up a twitter account. Suddenly, I feel the need to write more important blog posts. I feel more self-conscious about sharing my thoughts and life experiences.
Blogging anonymously is a one-way street. I don’t get very many comments, and not many people read this site. I’m okay with that. It’s easier and faster for me to blog than journal, so here I am. But joining Twitter and engaging in any amount of conversation puts me into the two-way mode. And knowing that people can unfollow me on Twitter because they think my posts are lame is a real concern. Hey, I’d like to say that I don’t care what people think. But that’s not the honest truth.

There’s a particular type of person I can’t bear to debate with. I’m thinking of one guy in particular who represents this type in my mind. I hate arguing with him, because he has no valid points. He has no logic. He just has objections and assumptions.
We debated Sarah Palin’s resume today. He threw out assumptions based on a sentence or two he heard her speak only minutes prior. He gives credit where credit has not been earned. He calls me “pessimistic” because I propose a reality he doesn’t want to exist. In other words, he’s full of hot air.

Obama delivered an empassioned speech tonight. I teared up a couple times. It wasn’t just what he said. It wasn’t just how he said it. It was the knowing in my heart that this was history in the making. This is the best man for the job. This is the right man at the right time, and that can only mean trouble.
The last person to talk like this was John F. Kennedy. We all know what happened. Can we get qualified secret service agents around Obama? Seriously, I fear for his life. Not today. Not tomorrow. But an idealist of this caliber does not live long without some sort of serious threat. He endangers all that is selfish, pigheaded capitalism. Somewhere, someone is angry with Obama for throwing a wrench in his plan.

I have acknowledged yet again that I have a problem. Not JUST a problem. A disease. Okay, I’m kidding, but as often as I feel compelled to buy a domain that popped into my head, you’d think I was fighting alcoholism.
I have at least 20 domains I’m not even using yet. It’s similar to my used book phase. I bought several hundred used books over a period of a year. I only read maybe twenty of them. But I bought them because they were “important pieces” of my collection, whether poetry, philosophy, novel, or novella. That was four years ago. I still haven’t read those books. In fact, it’s safe to say that I will NEVER read those books unless the Internet implodes and I can’t get to a store.
