Having had a blog elsewhere before this one, I feel reluctant to rehash old topics. The week was such a blur for me, entrenched as I was with multiple projects at work, that I wasn’t sure what I should cover as a topic here for this week.
I did decide not to touch the subject of religion, though I could go off on how a friend of mine, an open minded Wiccan, wished a passerby a happy Halloween and got dressed down for having the gallstones to mention the holiday in the presence of a Christian. I figured the poor person belongs to a sect that practices “I love everybody, as long as they’re just like me,” and feel they have bigger problems than rejecting a holiday that has been degraded to an adult excuse to have their children obtain candy for them one night a year.
I also decided against politics, because with elections coming up, I’m not really sure if voting for anybody is a good idea. As long as the persons in positions of political authority are human beings, we will always have to deal with human faults like corruption, mishandling of funding and scandal. It’s times like these that I wish Martians would invade Earth; maybe they would make better leaders.
Naturally I’m disappointed by the lack of Halloween tradition this year; the number of visitors to my doorstep was down to less than a bagful. Even with Daylight Saving moved back a week, either curfew, fear of not knowing which houses had “bad people” living in them or, possibly, the concerns over the obesity epidemic, had most of the little costumed darlings staying at home this year.
Maybe I’ll just wait until next week and rant about this whole Daylight Saving thing.
