Confession of a Political Junky





Photobucket

Okay....I lied. The reason I never have any time to post lately is because I have become utterly consumed with politics.

I spend time reading different pundent articles and I am constantly surfing the net trying to find positive information with respect to my candidate of choice.(which is scarce)

My moods rise and fall depending on the news cycle and I have concluded;

This is OUT OF CONTROL.

So what am I going to do about this? Here is my list;

1) No more cable news 24/7. In other words, the TV stays off so that I'll not be tempted to wonder over and space out on the newest news cycle. I swear they write news like soap operas now a days..I'm hooked!

2) No more endless surfing the net trying to find more more more about politics.


3) No more weekend marathons watching election returns. STOP THE MADNESS!

4) No more political discussions with my mother or my aunt. Surly we can find something else to talk about?

5) No more poll watching. I'm putting down on living for the next poll...NO MORE POLLS!


Today I have been about 50% successful. The Huffington Post tries to lure me, but I quickly closed the page. The TV is off....

NO MORE POLITICS....or I shall go seek some therapy....Holly get a life!

I understand. It's become very distressing. I just turned my TV off too. Told myself I wasn't going to listen to it all day long, over and over.

I'm interested - but not obsessed. Thank God! I have enough obsessions!

I care though, and I think I'm very disappointed.
