I’ve been wrestling with a quandary lately, and have had trouble putting it into words in a way that satisfies me.
Basically, allowing myself to be consumed with negativity in what I write doesn’t seem healthy or productive to me. I feel a little sick when I think about all the bad energy I’ve helped spread around.
Don’t confuse this with an apology for anything, as I think in the cosmic sense the people and things I’ve written about typically deserved to have bad vibes, or at least jarring criticism, directed their way. I think somebody needs to do it. I’m just wondering, for purely selfish reasons, if I want to continue to be one of those people who deals in perpetual outrage.
I’d like to refocus my energy, but I haven’t really figured out how I want to go about that. I’m not totally satisfied with this explanation, but it will have to do or I will rewrite it until it reads like a press release.
Does this mean no more blogging?

I too find blogging, especially of the negative variety, leaves me with bad vibes. There is a line of thinking that holding such resentments in the end only hurts yourself. Plus, it is freaking exhausting.
Why don’t you go downtown tonight and cheer on the Dogs in their struggle against the satantic War Eagle? What could be more positive than being a Georgia fan? Tennessee is dog meat. Is that too negative?
What the hell’s a satantic?
Satantic, adjective: of, pertaining to, or arising from the subtle elements of what makes you more goth than than someone else.
