Set

So, I haven't really decided what a blog is. I always thought it was political. The thing is, I'm not political. I don't watch the news. I know that that is deliberately ignorant, but I don't like it. The things they show me aren't the things I want to know. I can't help the people whose homes were ruined in a tornado, and the starving masses can't tell whether or not I finish my green vegetables. I'm sorry, but that's the truth. The only way to make a difference to those people is to go and help them directly. I'd like to be the one helping them. If I could go and help them and that was it I would be a happy guy, but that's not the whole story. If I was to pick up now and leave, my life would be severely changed. That's not the bad part. If my life changes, it happens, I'll deal. The issue is, that change has repercussions. If I leave, I leave my school, and my job. I leave my friends with this house, which means I leave my rent. I leave the ones I work with, for whom I have great respect. I leave my family, with no way to help them if I'm needed. It would be irresponsible and ignorant. I'm not an irresponsible man. If you wan't to call me ignorant, go ahead. But if you would rather I watch the news and see the people who need me everyday a thousand miles away, knowing I'm not going to help them, than stay where I am, take care of those around me and do what good I can from here, than I apologize, because I'm afraid one of us isn't thinking this through. Watch the news if you like. My TV is off, and I've got the weather network bookmarked.
