I used to wake up and turn on the news or cyber trip through the gossip heads to find out what everyone was supposed to think about today. Now I hesitate. I think about how I want to feel for the next six hours and I do something different instead. I want to know some of it but there is way too much stuff I don’t want or need to think about.

I am a huge proponent of information being the skeleton of my beliefs but the gauntlet of empty adolescent blaming, and name calling has become far too much to navigate. I would rather watch scripted shows about murderous deceitful power struggles. They seem to have much more truth in them than this “Lame of Thrones”.
