Well it could be the Winter blues....or the Winter grunge, but driving to Indianapolis today .....it was quite obvious, that the economy is somewhat crippled.
The sky was gray, which added to the grunge.
The roads appeared to be in the process of "being stimulated" and repaired , but yet, there were no road crews visible ...
All I saw, was a torn up country side, empty dirty construction equipment , closed businesses, For Lease signs in the windows of business sites, abandoned gas stations , and houses, that looked in need of repair.
I guess I just noticed it more today.
I saw very few American flags. For 60 miles ....I saw 4. One looked clean. the others were torn and faded.
I thought ...... how tired.... this part of Indiana looked.
America, and the people that live here..... sure have blinders on, I thought to myself.
People seem oblivious to the disappearance of what we were and the fading away of how things used to be.
I was almost embarrassed of what I saw.
As I drove closer to the city , things seemed to pick up.
I almost started crying.
I am having a hard time right now.....It's February ....for the love.....!
I thought of how big of a mess that I have made of things lately.
Sometimes, I wish I could start over... Sometimes I wish I could just be somewhere else.
I never seem to fit, be like others, or think like others.
I want to live somewhere else.....I want to be something else.
What the H!!!!!!
Damn you February!!!!!

What is it you want to be? Do we need a coffee meeting with a composition notebook to make some lists in?

I am actually serious......
I am too.
Calm down, please we could all use a change of scenery. There's only 16 days of February left.
Although I don't know that I belong here either...let's go on an adventure someplace fun.
