Topics I'm Avoiding

For two days now I've been searching in vain for something to write about.

• There's the debt crisis, but that trail is so well trod it is nothing but a muddy quagmire now.
• Gun control is a topic but the distance between what should be done, what can be done, and what will be done is redefining the concept of infinity.
• I looked at the history of massacres in America but that was just too depressing.
• Sports led me to Junior Seau's suicide and the knowledge that football players fully know they are sacrificing a lifetime of health, happiness, and sanity for a few fleeting years of glory.
• And that led me to realize that football and MMA cage fighting are blood sports no less barbaric than ancient Roman gladiatorial spectacles. Now I'm really depressed.
• And that, oddly, led me to discover the "Stadium Pal" which is a urine bag football fans wear so they don't have to leave their seats during the game to pee.
• Totally depressed about all of humanity I thought about going silly and investigated "proof of UFOs." Unfortunately, almost all the videos just look like passing meteors to me.

I give up. It's a sunny, beautiful day and I'm going outside to play.
