Six Months In a Leaky Boat

Six months since my last post? Unacceptable.

The world has changed in six months. There is a leaking oil pipe under the sea, spewing billions of dollars worth of oil into the environment, causing billions of dollars worth of damage. There is unrest in the Middle East, there is unrest in Arizona with the racist bills on the ballot there. And there is unrest right here in my apartment as I've not chosen an accent color.

*sigh*

What I mean to say is that there is so much going on in the world that its difficult to grasp even a fraction of it. From the crash and burn in the financial sector and the public's bail out of Billionaires, to the folks who are losing their livelihood because BP's reckless heed to the call "Drill baby, Drill!"

All of it boggles my mind and warps my perception of what is in front of me. And that is, at the moment, 4 white walls.
