Lawlessness And Disorder

I've been watching Law and Order a bit since I started staying here.  I never would have told you that I thought I'd find that show to be interesting.  The stories seem compelling and thought provoking at times.  Today I watched an episode that did just that.  Too bad I can't remember what it was now because I really wanted to make a blog post about the topic.  Oh well, you win some, you lose some.  Me, I lose it more often than not.  Some day I'll train myself to write these things down for later use.

Beyond that, I'm at a loss on what to write about tonight.  Perhaps I've got too many distractions.  Perhaps I'm only doing this to keep it going.  Sometimes when you think you really care about something you throw yourself at it just to keep the momentum and not lose speed.  Ignoring something is an effective way to begin forgetting about it and eventually allow it to die.  Kind of like I wouldn't mind happening to these amazingly annoying Target commercials with that freak of a woman.  Do they realize they are more annoying and repulsive than entertaining?  Good reasons not to patronize Target any more.  Remove their funding, remove their ability to produce repulsive ads...

But where was I?  The freak of a woman.  Please don't read that wrong.  I used that language for emphasis, not out of hatred.  If I liked blondes, I might actually find her mildly attractive.  It's the role she's playing.  I'm repulsed by it.  Nothing personal to her, I'd rather just not fill my mind with the ideas and behaviors she's promoting.  I'm sure she's not really a freak, or maybe she is.  I don't know her so I can't make that judgement.  Like I said I wasn't making judgement, just "creatively" expressing emphasis.

Why do we do things like that; use abrasive language to emphasize things?  I know why I do sometimes.  Out of fear, peer pressure, a desire to be liked; none of which are valid reasons to react that way.  Who ever thought being straightforward and truthful would be so difficult.  There are so many factors that push us in different ways throughout the course of a day, a person who can stand firm is a rare thing these days.

Well, I kind of wandered about through the topics today, didn't I?  I guess that's a good place to stop for one night.  Perhaps next time I'll be better able to collect my thoughts and have written something meaningful down to write about.

Au revoir!
