Marathon Thoughts 2: Spun


I'm spun. 

Part of me would like to omit this from the blog altogether. Hole up and not write for a while until it blows over.

Because it's hard to organize these thoughts, when your mind is spinning uncontrollably...

******

I am down on Smart Phones but am inspired at how they helped keep people safe. 

(I'm also listening to a civilian's recording of the audio from last night's gun fight while I compose this. what a world) 

I am down on Surveillance but am intrigued at how a Shoplift (Fear) Cam helped catch these monsters. 

I've admonished The News and the fear-mongering of the contemporary mini news cycle. I don't believe half of what I'm seeing and yet I cannot look away. 

I'm not afraid. I was afraid for a long time after 9/11 but won't be this time. 

I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. 

I was upset they killed the Older Brother. I would have liked to hear his side of the story.

I don't feel a stronger connection to Boston now. This bomb exploded in North Dakota and Kansas just as much as it exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. 

I hope we don't start a Ten Year war with Russia. LOL. 

I'm spun.
