For a while I was watching CNN all the time and considered it a priority to stay on top of the news but lately it just seems downright absurd. The coverage on Japan was tragic and then annoying. I think its time that I admit that I've inherited the ADD that plagues America. I have been desensitized and lose interest quickly, even when the situation is dire. "Japan had another quake? Huh, that sucks. What's for lunch?" I want to be interested but when I try too hard I just become a bitch because I don't really want to be having the conversation. I'm making myself participate in something that my society makes me think I SHOULD be doing, so I resent it and become Mrs. Grumpy Pants. Morale of the story? Don't talk politics with me for more than 15 minutes at a time.
As a side note, the word "should" pisses me right the fuck off.
