Here is where I place my soapbox.

I watch the news and wonder, “How can we put up with this?”

There is so much bias in a world that is supposed to be factual.

I could feel it welling up inside until I realized I needed to stick my head out a window and shout, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”

The next day I became a blogger.

For me, blogging is a cathartic experience.  Or, as the Oxford Dictionary puts it: A process of releasing pent up emotions.

Funny thing is – it seems to work for me.  I see something that gives rise to an internal emotion; and then I let it out on my blog.

This is not to say that I use my blog to complain.  I do, but there is more than that.  I like to make fun of things we’re not supposed to make fun of.  I have political opinions that are not linked to any party but my own – the Party of Me.

I like to be funny, even if I’m the only one realizing that I’m being funny.

I prefer fact over fiction but will indulge in a little of both.  Feel free to challenge me if you think I’m stretching the truth a bit much.

I blog because I must.

I blog because I can – and I never, ever forget that there are those that cannot.

Happy reading.

Jim
