I have started this blog three times today. I am not sure what is holding me back from blogging away lately, but I think it's my over all desire to not get bogged down with all the negatives that are happening in the world. 20 years ago I gave up on network news and most newspapers due to their constant reporting of bad news. To be around bad news all day, every day sucks you into "their world" I'm not a big fan of negative people and try to keep them, along with bad news, at arms length.
I am finding, however, that the bad news is everywhere and it is not only corrupting me but everyone around me. The latest is this Bernard Madoff issue. I heard today on NPR that thousands of investors were taken over a 20 year period. I heard the number is 50 BILLION that this crook took from investors.
I then look for some good news in the paper this morning and I see the headline "banner year" So my eyes jump to the article only to find out that the article is about the banner year of bankruptcies.
We here at cable mountain continue to build our business. I only hope we can keep the bad news and thus the bad luck from our island.
All of this leads me back to the title of the blog today. I am going to try to find the funny side of life...the happy side of life and write about that. This day to day barrage of bad news is starting to bring me down\...or as my daughter tells me...."your killing me smalls"
