I really have nothing tonight.

I am winding up my weekend (I work in a casino, remember?).  I still glossed over shared Facebook headlines, attempting to evaluate their worth from their original sources (not the members who posted them), and continued to be angry at our current lot; I watched a Robert Reich report.  However, for the most part this weekend, I had to separate myself.

I have been so livid and vocal about the whole thing for so long now, as I've said before, it has consumed me.  I almost don't know how to think about anything else anymore.  I feel guilty if I do.  I feel guilty for not really paying attention to anything for two days.  I feel like I'm forsaking my duty as a concerned (putting it extremely lightly) citizen.

For those of you who think you can pounce on my hypocrisy for lowering my vigilance, I have to admit that on one hand you'd be right to do so.  On the other hand, I assure you I have not completely relinquished my little role in this fight.  Once I can refresh and reset, I will have plenty to say.  I don't expect that to take long as he and his minions are constantly doing something to harm us all.  But right now, I need to remind myself who I am and, while there are plenty of things bigger than me, that my life and what I have in it are important, too.  I have to remember what I have rationally said about us all wanting the same things, that at our cores most of us are good people, and that I cannot go through life judging everyone based on whether they're on the left or the right.  If I can't stop that, I will ruin a lot of relationships; I am a better person than that, and so are we all.

So for today, that's it.  I am going to kiss my wife and children good night, get some good rest, and try to start a new week level-headed and ready to work.  Peace and love.
