Numb

Numb to the world.Passive.Not really arsed about people's opinions this way or that about their politics.I really gave up on the debates that get saners into a fluster.I like being numbed by the BP and personal experiences while people get touchy.I let it go.Concentrate on the real inside.The simple saying "Hi" on the street.The wanting to fit in locally.With real life and love.World issues suck.What is it this week..Global warming ? Climate change ? Linsey Lohan Spears Hilton ?

Be Numb ? It even sounds nice.

Numb ?

Hiya Pluck...I like your ideas and in fact, I often do that on world events, because my feeling is, why get all worked up over something you can't really effect. I make it a practice not to watch the news, especially the 24 hour news channels. I'm pretty apathetic about politics because I think they are all liars, crooks, and owned by big companies or special interest groups. Probably a sour outlook, but, whaddaya do? Can that count as numb?

I enjoy swearing at the newsreaders.
( They are NUMB but get paid for it )

Not the ladies obviously.I don't want to offend them !

ROFL! If I had to listen to Bill O'Reilly for very long at all, I would shoot my television, and I don't even have a gun. (I could always borrow my hubby's pistol - he's a cop, ya know!)

Yr right and I wouldn't criticise you.
It's not apathy like the apathy of the world 'at large'.
It's the weariness and experience of BP.Knowing the simple things that are trodden on for the sake of greed etc.I'm not apathetic at all.
If people say " Don't you care ? ! "
I say yeah. " I care too fucking much ".
I'd rather shop for a present or talk to the butcher or sit outside the supermarket and have a smoke with some pleasant strangers.
" If I had a hammer..I'd hammer in the.. "..I'd get arrested !

That's why I like watching Jon Stewart do his thing with the news, or Colbert. brilliant.

i like Jon Stewart too.I love the way they satirise yet get serious at the end too.Always some guy selling a book or something.

I like Jon's scribbling and 'just this side of' smugness.Or smugness.

I saw him ages ago on Larry Sanders Show.I loved that show.
Plus he was on the Flaming Lips screen footage when they play live " She Don't Use elly"

Most in England only seen The Daily Show.
He must have been going ages.


I'm numb to him now !

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
