I'M TIRED

I told a friend that I had blogged a brief post about the latest Pat Robertson fiasco. She seemed surprised that I actually posted something besides a sermon.

Well . . . yes. My football season was relatively uneventful. My time for posting has been limited lately. The job has been busier than normal recently. But more than anything, I'm just plain tired.

My creative blogging juices seem to have been sapped. I'm tired of all the religious wrangling between the left and right about radical inclusiveness and orthodoxy where both sides seem to be willing to beat on each other and accuse each other. And I don't want to post on the Troubles because a) other people do it with so much more intelligence and thoughtfullness than I could ever hope to do, and b) the thought of carrying on a debate on my blog tires me out.

I'm tired of the political fighting between right and left with Bush holding to lies as fact and radical conservatives holding to the "against Bush is against God and country" line while liberals scream about injustices but don't seem to have a clue as to how to right the wrongs. See above for why I don't post on this.

I'm even tired of not having the energy to spend on organizing the house (it's a perpetual dump). By the time the evening or the weekend rolls around, I just want to do nothing. I don't even have the energy to read a book, and that's something that I used to do quite regularly.

41 years old and already I'm a tired, grumpy old man.
