Something About Being Weird

Just in case you didn’t realize, I am a weirdo. Yep, 100%. Maybe each of us is weird in our own way. One thing about being weird is the things in life that makes one happy. Sometimes being weird means that finding people who share in your weirdness isn’t easy. I don’t think being weird is a choice, it’s how you are wired, it is core to who you are.

My friends, embrace what makes you different. It’s OK to march to the beat of a different drummer. I have found that weird things, media, people, and other stuff helps me cope with this world we live in.

I think more places need weird, quirky, unconventional, artistic people to make it better. Not being tied to the way others think is freedom. It’s about being authentic and not hiding things in a bushel.

To my fellow weirdos, I am with you. We are kin. We are community.

Quote Of The Day

People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country.

Hello November, Let’s Come Together

The month of November has arrived. May we all come together in these days of uncertainty and struggle for many. Let’s hope for better days ahead. Peace and comfort to you all good people.

In The News, Things Aren’t Good

Accurate, experienced journalism is important for keeping people informed and to keep the principles of democracy flourishing. When new organizations make cuts, that places all of that in peril. We depend on a free press to keep power in check.

Doris Kearns Goodwin said “Journalism still, in a democracy, is the essential force to get the public educated and mobilized to take action on behalf of our ancient ideals”. We need to remember these high ideals as times get tough and things change.

A certain ideology has taken root, and it isn’t good in many news operations around the country.

With all this said, I will miss the CBS Saturday Morning show with Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller, the show was cancelled, and they lost their jobs. CBS just laid off a lot of people today. They are not changing for the better.

The Struggle Is So Real

Lots of people are struggling right now. It’s a matter of livelihoods, health care, hunger, affording stuff, and more. I don’t have an answer for it all. But I will say that in a prosperous country like the United States, none of this should be happening.

So many are paycheck to paycheck, and some aren’t even getting that. Life is hard for so many and having empathy, sympathy, and compassion are what can help. However, people are going hungry. Some face losing the roof over their heads. Getting seriously sick could bankrupt many. There needs to be a solution and fast.

Personally, I don’t think some in our government are equipped to do that. They are distracted on other things. So, I suppose we have to hang in there and do the best we can. Let’s hope for brighter days to come, and soon.

Thought Of The Day 10272025

I wish more billionaires were advocating for the little guy, than trying to cozy up to the corruption of power in high offices. The world could be a better place. But money makes the world go round, and many suffer as the rich get richer and the poor fall further behind.
