News Overload...

Someone once compared laws to sausage, as in seeing how either is made ruins the appetite for the end product. I've come to the sad realization that staying up to date on everything that is going on can be just plain depressing and frustrating. So for the time being I'm going to try reducing my intake of current events, especially politics. I'll still ready certain stories on google news but probably won't follow my news shows and political blogs as consistently. Doing so is having the unintended consequence of making me even more disillusioned and jaded. I think some time unplugged from that reality might do me some good. Here's to some much needed blissful ignorance.
