It's here... Election Day... and fittingly - the highways are shrouded with fog... bumper to bumper... slow going... assholes on your asshole... It's kinda symbolic of the perceived state of America...
Mudslinging has reached an alltime high (or, I guess that'd be low)... Liberals are believed to be gaining ground on the Conservatives... That gay guy goofed it up... oh, then Kerry provided some balance when he spoke before thinking... Whata mess...
Preachers and Priests involved in all kinds of trysts - from forced homosexuality to drug dealing.. Guns in school... hell, even Spike and Snoop are in trouble.. we're a troubled world...
America is outwardly depressed - so... we've gotta scrutinize more closely to "say it ain't so"...
Ok, let's try on Dick Hoyt - the feller who's taken his paralyzed son on over 64 marathons - and a host of triathlons, Ironmans.... Howabout Extreme Home Makeover? I know - it's fanfare - but twas wondrous to see the little gal with the hole in her heart get an entirely new, environmentally perfect house for her fam...
Ronald McDonald Housing... Four, count 'em, four in Kansas City.. Twenty five years of service..
Gimme the stories that don't make the front pages... gangs in Boston have a secret negotiated truce - crime down 80%... In Australia - a little feller going the opposite direction of a tractor trailer driver - notices the t-t driver slumped over the wheel - rig still in motion... turns around.. parks... on foot catches up with the truck.. takes the wheel... stops the vehicle he had no idea how to stop.. saves the day.. (Then by golly he went and hada beer.)...
The unsung stories.. the black and the white men who become best friends... young looking in on old... friends doing for friends... laughter displacing sadness... music - people dancing... children smiling...
Drive to the old part of your town - find the block with the oldest trees before nature knocks all the leaves off.. In our fine city, I recommend a ride down Ridge. See the beauty of nature. Pass out smiles.. Use touch.. Find someone deserving of a compliment - and wing one.. We each can be a piece to the jigsaw of a better America..
The smog of 487 tv channels, breaking news emails, talk radio, the ugliness of the printed word make optism difficult. Screw 'em... we gotta be. Please live life with a smile and your chin up.. and may you get laid with regularity... love, Victurd
