it beats the hell out of doing laundry
so i started to write something about the horrific tragedy in london yesterday, but stopped. i'm not terribly articulate when it comes to expressing my feelings in the first place, and everything i could think of saying just didn't seem fitting.

i am 36. mother of two awesome, rambunctious and adorable boys. i'm lucky enough to be able to stay home with my boys, and feel like i've found my true calling -- no stupid job is this much fun or this rewarding, though the pay does SUCK. sometimes i dress way too young for my age. i used to dig the punk rock. i still do. i used to wear safety pins in my ears and skull rings and black nail polish and too much eyeliner...shit, was that really 20 YEARS AGO? sometimes i still want to. yes, i'm completely immature. i'm cool with being one of the boys. i love beer, magazines, hello kitty and VH1 classic. yes, i said VH1 CLASSIC. i AM 36, remember? when i was old enough to know better, i was in a band. it was fun to play rock chick for a while. i hate math, but ended up in a profession where i had to know complicated formulas. err, maybe they were just complicated for me, i dunno. i have ADD, OCD and am totally neurotic but, damn, do i know how to party!

it's all about perspective. In our time, we have occasional terrorist strikes, which are certainly horrible, but how many people do they really affect? What we don't have is people like Hitler and Stalin killing tens of millions of people, and huge wars which engulf half the world, and we no longer have "Mutually Assured Destruction" as our official policy. Life has gotten better in more ways than it's gotten worse. If terrorism seems scary, it's because the media has brought it right into your living room. But really, the odds of it happening to you and your loved ones are very, very low. So switch off the TV, and enjoy life. That is all you can do.
