So, it's been a little while since I posted. I've got several entries in the works that I will be sharing over the next few weeks and months. Life's been a little busy over here what with settling into a new home, a new town, a new job, etc. But it's been a fun time figuring everything out!
Tonight is the first Presidential debate of this campaign season and I'm sure that as a good voter, I should be watching it. I mean, it's only taking over almost every channel on television. Several media outlets and social networking sites will be offering play-by-play commentary and fact checking because neither candidate would stretch or misrepresent the truth...right?
But....I just can't. I just can't sit and listen and watch two people belittle, screech, squawk, interrupt, talk over, and degrade one another, their parties, their positions, and their pasts for a solid two hours. There has already been so much negativity and grand standing leading up to tonight that I just don't think I can take it. Tomorrow, I'll be the good little voter again. I'll read the re-caps and see what points each candidate got in, where they stand on the issues, and all of the other things I feel like I need to know to make an educated decision in a little over 40 days. To be able to confidently cast my ballot, which is a right that I respect and treasure. But for tonight, I'm just not. Instead, I'm going to read my Bible study. I'm gonna watch a little Pioneer Woman. I might even grade a few papers. I'm going to enjoy the rest of my evening. I just won't be tuned in to a certain live televised event. If you are, I'm glad for you. I'll even welcome your input in catching me up on what I missed! I just can't take the negative tonight.
