THIS is a metaphor…. There is always far too much going on in the world to ever reduce what is important down to any small box. Someone somewhere is always making the decisions about what you will and wont be given as important on a given day. There are many stories of importance right now that I would not normally mention and in keeping with the style, I wont mention them now. There are two big stories in the past 24 hours that would usually find me offering you my unsolicited opinion. However I will not talk about them but I will explain a little bit… (watch the metaphor…)
Sometimes I write with a keen awareness of the blog traffic. I mean there are somethings that get hits from the search engines and I know that. So there have been times when I will post those type things because the traffic usually bring me some new readers and new readers can’t be bad. Now. By that same token there are some hot button topics I won’t write about. I don’t want the traffic that comes with the topic. I am just not interested. I realize I can get the people here faster if I say something crazy about the things I wont write about. However, whatever my goal is, I just don’t care about some shit.
Well in the last 24 hours there have been two big topics that I would normally write about. The first one I already called in the last six weeks. I said that needed to happen to keep the spotlight focused. And it happened. Congratulations. And the latter I just wont touch. Let the conspiracy theories begin. Even I am sometimes guilty of making things out to be more than they are.
