Nothing

Dear Readers,

For the last two months, I've had nothing to say. What can I say? I guess you could call it writer's block. But that entails that I've have this stream of "writing" that was blocked. Maybe... who knows? Maybe there was nothing to be blocked. The well was just dry. Even tonight, I have nothing to write about now. So stop reading. I have nothing to say.

Most of my thoughts are very simple. I wonder why I like the smile and hello of the girl working behind the counter at my gym. I wonder if people full of sh-t like global warming deniers will be ever called out in this lifetime. I wonder what it says about America and our educational system that Rush Limbaugh is the most popular radio broadcaster and that Howard Stern is the second most popular radio guy. (Unfortunately, my fact-checker has left me- unsurprisingly considering I haven't written in two months- so the veracity of this blog should be questioned.)

I wonder if people will start buying electric cars and how that will work out for everyone involved: car makers, urban air breathers, electric companies, oil producing countries. I wonder how, when we can produce and iPad2 or an iPhone4 or an Android or fly into space, (the latter, something we've been doing for 40 years), but we can't give global warming more of a fight (by seriously reducing our CO2 emissions). I realize we are going to get there (reducing our CO2 emissions). It just seems we are taking the slow and cautious approach.

I can envision a world, in which a lot more people drive electric cars.

But, I hope they don't break down all the time. That would suck. If you run out of gas, someone can just put more gas in your tank, so you can make it to the nearest gas station. When you run out of electricity, what do you do? Get towed to the nearest (electric) outlet?

Even with issues bound to happen, I hope electric cars (just like the Israelites that came before them) become as numerous as the Toyota Pri (at least the Toyota Pri in California). Not just to decrease the atmosphere's capacity to store heat, but also and maybe more importantly for the air we breathe.

I love it, because some people doubt global warming, or hate people, or hate people that understand the science of global warming, some people are actually for polluting the air. I can't believe there are people, Dick Cheney, I'm think of you that say, that air you breathe, it isn't dirty enough, not enough inner city kids are getting asthma.

Exactly, how do they (global warming deniers know global warming is a sham? I am including global warming agnostics in my h-te list. The ones that say, yes the world is warming, but I'm not sure it's caused by us, human beings. Not all people can really handle the world as is, so they filter out thoughts that don't confirm their world view.

I understand that life in America can be hard. There are a lot of different TV shows on at one time, and my DVR only can record four of them (at once). Really I understand, the real issue is that there just aren't that many middle class jobs left in our economy anymore. You have to work real hard to become wealthy, even if you just wanted middle class. Otherwise it's being a high school math teacher or working at McDonald's. It's either that, or we could have socialism, pick your misery!

I think people will look back at this time period, and think what f--==g id--ts this guys were. Caring so much about stupid computer tablets, which allow them to play games as the world they live in both politically and environmentally was heading towards the brink. Hey, at least we/they enjoyed ourselves until the very end. Playing games on our little computers, while the real world's issues were a bit more challenging to be called a game or warrant our attention.

My last thought. eh, you don't want to hear it. The thought was here (literally), just not good enough, even for this blog. I got nothing more to say.

Signing off (probably for March),
