What's Going On?

I need to start paying better attention to current events.

Part of my aversion is that it is just so dang depressing to follow what’s going on in the news. Of course that is not a valid excuse to keep myself in the dark. But to be fair, I usually have some vague understanding of what is going on in the world, but rarely enough to have an intelligent and thoughtful conversation about it.  Honestly it’s just plain important writer to pay attention to current events. It’s provides fodder for ones work. But beyond that being aware of what’s going on in the world is part of being a mature and educated grown up type person.

So that’s my mission. I’m going to start paying just a little more attention to the world around me. Taking the time everyday to read some headlines, or tune into some news.  The hope is I will be better for it!
