Mother rant, 1? of infinity...

Does everyone's mother say how they have failed at raising their child because said child does not keep its house as clean as said child's mother? Do they ever have anything positive to say? Do they harp on things like faded shear curtains, that came with the house and are being replaced soon by blinds and don't rate washing, yet, somehow, they chisel away at most of said child's capabilities as an adult human being, or so she would believe? I've been told to just ignore such things, the rantings of a crazy old woman. This was from someone whose crazy old mother was safely in another country, not a couple miles away. It's hard when your mother is so perfect, you can never measure up, even if you wanted to, which you don't.....not in that way, at least....

Not ranting enough....

I keep feeling so screwed up and less-than-profound, that I am reluctant to write, but I think that is what makes me therefore NEED to write, if only to calm my troubled brain. If anyone is actually reading this, you have been warned.

So, can he do it? The Obama thing, that is. We've already had one massive hellish let-down for the year with the Cubs giant tease and crash. Do we need another? I have been actively ignoring national politics since 2000 when I volunteered for a campaign for the first time and got too crushed for my own good. I recall being thrilled in 1992 but far less since.....

I never thought the world would seem this screwed up by the time I was 40. Is it me or is it just that the longer you live, the more perspective you acquire and the cynicism multiplies....
