For years
now, I've managed to maintain a daily diary that focused mostly on
the weather. I've done it to help me keep a record of what it was
like in February, a few years back. A record, if you will, of one man
traveling through life, leaving a few tracks in the temporal snow as
it were.
I feel that
by writing stuff down, it helps me to cope with some of the stresses
of life by venting, even if that venting is only to yourself! We live
in a very complex, technological and dangerous world that seems to be
getting crazier by the moment. Weird topics that never came up, for
me, in the eighties or nineties, now seem to be more the norm.
Immigration reform, a nuclear Iran, ISIS terror cells in the US, an
ineffective and leaderless government with regular be-headings thrown
in for added effect.
In today's
America, the nuclear family is history. Morality is now more of a
concept as opposed a lifestyle and the word God is uttered less and
less by a citizenry that I no longer recognize. More often than not,
I now pack heat, lock the doors to my house when I'm away and now
distrust many people and most governments in general. So, I have my diary to turn to... perhaps
I'm a little like a male version of Anne Frank in that regard.
