Dreamer’s World September 11, 2017 – Sensory Overload
I think that I have
found one of the reasons I have been so damned tired recently. The constant
shitstorm that passes for the world around us managed to creep into my own
little private Idaho. Despite my best efforts, the outside world managed to
find the cracks in the walls that I had built,
and like water corrupting a dam, my walls began to suffer.
There is nothing
that I learned from these intrusions that I didn’t already know. The NAZI is
still in the White House, people are
still incredibly stupid and seem to be determined to become even stupider. Hurricanes and earthquakes will
happen somewhere in the world, and human suffering will always be the bread and
butter of the media. Nothing changes except for the particular examples of these themes. I thought that I had managed to isolate
myself successfully and I was happier than I have ever been. My writing was
flowing naturally, and I was full of positive energy.
I need to get back
to that place. The realization hit me when I remembered that today is the day
when people politicize tragedy to promote their agendas of hate and war. My
instinct is to ignore these subliminal attempts
to hijack my mind, and that is what made me think about the other things
mentioned above. My broken walls need serious repair. I am leaving the TV OFF
today and will try to keep that going for the next several days. No amount of
information overload will change the shitstorm around me, and I know that it
does nothing more than distracting me from my own life and make me exhausted.
I deserve better than this. I am going to rededicate myself to my
life, and Hal and The Stooges. Only then will I feel better and enjoy my life
as I should. There is plenty of stuff in my daily life to keep me occupied and
happy forever. I just have to make the conscious decision to focus on those
things and not worry about things that I cannot control.
