So this month has been dedicated to other things... mainly trying to push back on this dead space that is growing inside of me. Need to make some changes, it simply isn't helping my creative side any.

Wednesday, new president, same media
While people around me celebrate, and try to take in as much of their sense of victory as they can, I feel the same as ever. Never in my short life have I placed much faith in any elected official, or the government and political systems to actually do what is right. I woke up today like most days lately, listening the sounds of police and ambulance sirens racing around downtown. Nothing has changed in my personal world, and I don't think much will, but I hope globally things at least take a step in the right direction. The people were desperate, and I hope that they get exactly what it is they wanted.
With that,I watched a majority of the reportings from last night, and couldn't help but feel I was getting cheated on real information. I was constantly distracted by pundit rants, R2D2 like holographic projections of reporters and entertainment stars, and winner projections based on 1% of the vote being tallied to turn what really only takes 30 minutes into a 5 hour superbowl of freedoms. Television is surely more suited to entertainment than a source of news, and I will turning it off when it comes to that from here on out.
