December 30th 2016

So as an exercise in consistency I am going to write an entry a day for the next 365 days. Mostly random thoughts on crap that occurs.

It will probably be stilted and unfocused because of the immediacy of the feelings. Perhaps there will be enough gems to mine a short story. I am not writing for an audience except myself. It will be a combination of fiction and true observations.
Not sure how personal, I suppose it depends on the day/time/event.

As the year closes many are saying it was the worst year ever!!!! some with many more exclamation points. I can only shrug and take a very cautious wait and see. In my opinion the worse of the two clowns won the political circus and he is quite the ringleader. The dissent in his own party gives me hope that perhaps we will have some check and balance and if women still have the right to vote after four years, I will take that as a win.
I shudder when I think of the Vice president and his arcane beliefs and hope that he essentially assumes of the role of most vice presidents and does basically nothing.

Aside from politics too many influential, entertaining and important people died this year which I believe served up a potent reminder that life is fleeting and should not be taken for granted. That's part of the reason why I decided to take on this endeavor.  My son tells me that I am wasting my English Literature degree and I ran out of excuses as to why I don't write so here I am.

That's all I have for today.
