It’s been over six months since I watched or read the news, dear reader, and it’s been a more dramatic change than I could have imagined.  The improvement in my mood and world view were immediate and predicted.  What has been truly weird is the total disconnect that now exists between me and pretty much everyone else.  Even the most casual conversation leaves me feeling completely bewildered, having sincerely and literally no idea what anybody is talking about.  It’s like being in The fucking Matrix.  One of the most legitimately depressing experiences in recent memory has been seeing the degree to which Americans are almost completely controlled by the American media.  Holy shit, dear reader…they are enslaved.  To a truly frightening extent.
Do yourself a favor, dear reader…tune out.  Only concern yourself with the politics within your home.  Turn off the fucking news.  Then start avoiding TV altogether, or at least the commercials.  Read a book.  Paint.  Think!  For yourself!
