I find myself so jacked up on emotions about what is going on in the world that I wish I could take a break from it all. On the other hand, keeping up with what’s going on seems to be prudent. Like many other people, we are trying to sort through the events of the day, and it is a lot. I don’t know, but I do know you can’t care about everything. I am contemplating a Facebook break, let’s see how that goes, maybe.

Something About Black History Month
February is Black History Month. It’s also strange that this important celebration falls on the shortest month of the year. People of African heritage have made significant contributions to the world, don’t forget that. Thank you to all whom we honor this month for making the world better for everyone. Some in power would want you to forget that bit of information.
Something About Internet Opinions
Hey, guess what???? The Internet is full of opinions and commentary. Like noses, we all have opinions about one thing or another. Some opinions are informed and helpful, while others are not. I don’t believe everyone feels the same way about everything. You look at what people are saying and it comes from a place of one’s experiences and values. No matter where you go on the Interweb someone has something to say. It’s OK to have opinions, just try not to be hurtful or personal in expressing them. I am certain that whoever reads this will have some feedback for me.
Something About Billionaires
Recently, many billionaires have been throwing around their money and influence. Many of them are impacting the lives of millions with their close ties to the new government. I can’t help but think about what good they could do if they just put their money not into politics but into people who are in need.
Power is seductive and it is also dangerous. I won’t mention any names but you have certainly seen their names in the news as of late. It’s sad how much money goes into buying a seat at the table where decisions about people’s lives are made. Most of the time those decisions negatively impact everyday individuals. The old saying goes money is the root of all evil or in this case, the people who have money.
As Cyndi Lauper once sang “Money Changes Everything” and its truth. Money does make the world go around. I ask how much money is enough how much power is enough? I guess the world will suffer at the hands of oligarchs who really don’t care as long as they get theirs. Greed I guess for lack of a word is good in their mindset.
Something About Men
I am secure in being a white man who knows that the world should not cater to me. Those days I hope have passed. Those men who think the world is their oyster should think again. So what if there are men who march to the beat of their own drummer and don’t fit the traditional roles.
The world has changed. It’s sad to see so many people who want to drag it back into a place. Those who aren’t men are forced to return to a time that was not full of opportunities and safety.
I would rather be a good human than a good man. Sometimes you can do both. In this world we live in, humanity is the most important thing.
Something About Musicals
If you hear music coming out of nowhere, sing to it because it’s fun and you are probably hallucinating. You know just like in those musicals you like.
