Politics and Religion. It's like 28 Days Later.

Have you ever seen the movie "28 Days Later"?  It's basically a zombie flick, but instead of people actually being dead and rising up to feast of the brains of the living, it's a virus that enrages people to ... well ... want to feast on the brains of the living.

That's how I view the discussion of politics and religion, and since I value the gray matter than I have, I'm going to try as hard as I can to not discuss either topic.  Now this is more difficult than you can imagine, because these are two things that make me the most irate.  They're also two things that make others irate, and since I have hopes that someday someone might actually read this, I want to avoid the irrational name calling battles that usually accompany these topics.

I'm not saying that I won't touch them entirely, but I may generalize now and again.  Oh who am I kidding?  This will eventually turn into a blood bath, but I at least want to have my Zombie Escape Plan thought out before it does.

Defragging my Brain

 I recently joined Facebook, and I know that I'm late to the party.  It made me realize that the Wall Post system of Facebook, and Twitter for that matter, don't offer me the chance that I need to get so many randomly generated thoughts, out of my head.  I've found that I need a way to defrag once in awhile, and do it in more than 140 characters.

That being said, I felt that maybe a blog was the way to go.  I've never blogged before, so this is going to be a rough ride to start with and it will hopefully smooth out over time once I figure out how to format this thing and make it look it's best.  I make no promises that my grammar and/or punctuation will be perfect or even near perfect.  I'll use words in the wrong context, and make mistakes, so don't expect much.  Think of this as throwing pasta against the wall to see what sticks.  My posts will stick, but they won't look pretty.

I don't know if anyone will ever read it, but it gives me a way to "talk" to myself without the awkward looks from strangers.  Let's hope this works.  I'm going to try and post at least once a week, and maybe more frequently as my brain needs that defragging, but I make no promises.
