I have always wanted to start a journal of some kind. A place where I could dump some overly serious brain usage onto some white space with minimal worry or guilt. I have always had an active mind in that it is constantly working on some piece of information that flew in either arbitrarily or directly. It's the arbitrary ones that usually have me worked up by the end of the day. The ones that may not really affect me personally but appeal to my emotion or sense of reason.
Kind of like the anniversary of the Murrah building bombing here in Oklahoma City. I wasn't hurt or injured in the bombing, no relatives killed or injured not even an acquaintance of an acquaintance. So why would I even have an opinion on the subject? Well, because it happened in my back yard, per se, and it very well could have hurt me. The person (or persons) who planted the bomb (or bombs) that destroyed that building also destroyed something else in people that were not physically touched by it. They destroyed their sense of security. For months and for some even years they couldn't let their children out of their sight for even a fraction of a second for fear of losing them. They looked upon any stranger and any suspicious vehicle with a sense of distrust and even apathy.
