There are some days when there just isn't anything to say. And some days when there's too much to say. Then there are days when both happen at the same time. If you hadn't guessed today is one of those days. In the "real" world; the day to day life that I live that includes work, and food and family and friends, nothing happened. It was just another day at work. I solved the daily puzzle. I went on a field trip to Vera Bradley at lunch. I came home. All fascinating tasks, don't you think?
But then in the bigger picture of the world; the one we all live in, the media is exploding with headlines and special reports. Edward Snowden and his many asylum requests, the San Francisco plane crash, a train explosion in Canada, Egypt in uprising, football players being charged with murder, wives of baseball players being charged with attempted murder. Every day there's a new story of someone hurt or some terrible event. So while I could write about those things too, it would almost be too much. The press is inundating us with thoughts and opinions of these events hourly, why should I do the same?
Yes the everyday "real" world lives we live can often be boring or mundane, but when you look at the bigger picture of what's going on out there, a little bit of the everyday grind isn't so bad - just a little uninteresting to write about.
