Netflix | The Habitation of Justice

… by running away from all my problems.

The last few days I’ve been following up on the latest political news, which I realize tends to put me in a violent, must-eradicate-all-liberals-on-Earth kinda mood. The last straw were all the personal attacks on Joe The Plumber, whose unforgiveable sin it seems had been that he asked a question.

But then I realized that despite spending so many hours reading up on the news, being well informed doesn’t really do anything for me except raise my blood pressure. See, I’m a guy who has no absolutely impact on anything that happens in the world, so why bother getting upset over things that I cannot possibly ever change? Indeed, the only thing I CAN change is myself. So I have decided to do just that… by withdrawing completely from reality and pursuing an escapist lifestyle where I can remain blissfully ignorant of everything that’s happening in the world. :ggrin:

I can see the wisdom now of barricading myself in my room with nothing but my desktop PC, a bundle of Netflix DVDs, a few bags of Tostitos and some cheese dip. I’d remove all the political/news feeds from my feedreader, lock out all the news channels on TV, then completely immerse myself in playing massive multiplayer games online (or perhaps my favorite Nancy Drew mystery games.) If I have a hankering for something more than chips, I can always order from Papa John’s and have them slide the pizza under my door.

Who says I don’t know how to enjoy life??
