Blogs

Ever wonder how many blogs there are? Me neither. I do know there are blogs about everything and blogs about nothing - like maybe this one. This blog is about something, but you have to keep up to find out what it’s about.

Almost everyday I read a number of blogs - just the stuff that interest me. I really don’t care about the benefits of worshiping cabbage plants or how to grow cotton in your bathtub for fun and profit. The one common thread I notice is that people are not happy. I’m a grumpy old man so I am not supposed to be happy.

The conservatives are not happy, but neither are the liberals. Everybody is offended by somebody. I know I am offended by people that are offended by me - which may just about everybody. I don’t care.

Where is this going? It has occurred to me that if all these people are unhappy, is that the preferred way of life. When you get to be a grumpy old man, it is the only way of life. Do people really enjoy being miserable? I know from reading they enjoy sharing their unhappiness with others and can’t understand why the others are not on board with their particular unhappy.

I am starting to truly believe that if God had wanted us to have the internet, we would have all been born with a USB port. Maybe then we could start being angry, upset, ticked off and generally miserable from birth.

From a grumpy old man point of view, I’m glad there are so many grouchy people. It makes me seem more normal.
