i finally got rid of all those \u201cmagazines that i plan on reading soon\u201d today. i broke down and actually moved the stack from a dining room chair to the desk in the office to the floor under the desk in the office to a stack by the garage door to the recycle bin in the garage. i have also come to the realization that i order way too many magazines. i can\u2019t possibly bear to know what oprah\u2019s best things are or how i can flatten my abs in only 2 minutes a day or that warren buffet is buying stock (ok, i can\u2019t get rid of the sports illustrated for fear of missing out on the swimsuit issue and instyle because i absolutely must know what the hot new purses are). my daily newspaper has dwindled to an all in one section piece of poo poo. where you ask do i find out all the trivialities and news that is apparently not fit to print anymore? i do read a lot on the internet. i also find that a lot of blogs are way more thought provoking (and honest) than most of the major news outlets AND i almost want to boycott the news anyway. it does nothing for my peace of mind and i\u2019m starting to actually get that it\u2019s all b.s anyway. you\u2019re asking yourself \u201cwhere\u2019s the comeback come in?\u201d sometimes you have to clean out some old stuff to make way for the new stuff even if the new stuff is ca-ca. this way you can process it and get rid of it faster. yes, i will still watch msnbc (morning joe is funny as hell) frequently AND i peruse the morning paper because i do check out the weather and sports occassionally (plus the guy that delivers the paper is really nice). BUT i am putting all others on notice\u2026one of my girlfriend\u2019s favorite things to say when we watch the morning news over coffee is \u201cnon-news story!\u201d she usually declares that right in the middle of an obvious filler story that often involves the rabbits that are eating the tomatoes out of someone\u2019s garden or a home owners\u2019 association got mad at someone for having an american flag hanging too far off of their house\u2026blah blah blah<\/p>\n
let\u2019s hear it\u2026am i alone here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
