A flurry of blog posts, a result of being on the road and without reliable internet for days. It is strange to have been born into a world without internet and feel, well, naked when you are in a place that doesn’t have the connective digital cloud. I’ve seen people go through more withdrawal than I have, absolutely freaking when they can’t get a video on their phones. The new normal is so thoroughly disconnected from the reality of thirty–even fifteen years ago that it lends credence to this theory of an ever accelerating tech curve.
Which brings me back to the blogs not getting through… or anything connected happening. Honestly, I kind of liked it. I can see how being disconnected is anathema to millenials but I love the idea of being out of touch for at least a bit. What I hate is the flood of emails and texts that await when I check back in.
I suppose there ought to be a balance.
Some Thoughts:
- Dear Fox (Faux?) News: Stop hiring blonde women as a wedge to be placed between two older men. It is starting to wear on America–even on your America. We get it. We understand the ideal you are striving to recreate.
- While we are still talking, how does it feel to not really have a candidate you can push? Gotta to be hard on ya. I mean you had a pundit call Cruz a liberal. That happened.
- Finally, stop acting like 2008 was ever really in doubt. Obama locked that vote up and won with a ridiculous margin. The fact remains that whoever (read: Clinton) is the Democratic nominee will also wreck shop against Trump. You have to know that by now.
