The Hag is taking over

Over the past few weeks I have come to the realization that I am turning into a bitter, hateful, judgmental, overly opinionated hag!!!!  And the bad part is I could care less. The wicked witch is taking over and I am embracing her with love and contentment.  Why?  I am not fully certain, I think much of it is that I am so disgusted with the way so many people my age choose to live their lives.  Well not only people my age but just people in general who choose to create a bubble of oblivion around them.  Why are so many people so dang naive?  I am completely amazed each and every day, mainly at my place of employment, how small minded people can truly be.  The more I am around this behavior the more my heart hags out. How can you expect culture, diversity, enrichment to flood into your life if you embed yourself in the same areas for school and work?  Then again how do I know that these people want that in their life?  Just because I do doesn't hold true for others.  I can't imagine being in a box, I was not raised that way and I have not lived my life that way.  I am always rambunctious, on the move, trying new things, new places, new people.  Granted I am still in the same city I grew up in, I have lifted my roots several times, I just realized there really is no place like home.  I love my family to much to be away from them.  But I feel I have and continue to grow and learn, if we stop growing and learning we cease to exist in my opinion.  And since this is my blog I will blast it all out!! 

That being said brings me to another topic... politics.... I can hear the screams! I am not a political buff whatsoever.  I rarely get into discussions because I am not that schooled in the matter, I read articles about current events, but don't delve much further than that.  It is confusing and gets me all worked up.  I do enjoy broadening my scope of the subject though, it is nice to know what is going on and where I choose to post my flag.  This whole mosque building event has everyone in a complete state of uproar.  I have to say I am opposed to it.  Not because I don't think that the Muslim community should be chastised for the events that occurred but simply because they could build it somewhere else. Somewhere that doesn't sting the hearts of the entire state of New York, specifically the residents of New york city who were forced to watch the horror unfold on their streets.  As Americans we all felt the grief of 9/11 but sitting on our couches watching from the comfort of our homes, while those people were standing in the dust of the building, digging people dead and alive from the rubble, attempting to pick up the pieces.  If the Muslim community wanted to rebuild their name and reconnect I just don't think this is the way. 


I feel like I am turning into my mother more and more and it scares the crap out of me.

Also, thank God for spell check.. this would have been a hot mess without it!!!
