Self indulgence 101

Yes, I realize that blogging about my random thoughts is an act of extreme self indulgence, but everyone else is doing it, so there.  That's not to say that other bloggers don't have something important and vital to say.  I'm just saying that I unequivocally do not. 


Having said that, I will readily admit to avidly following the entertainment industry (my former professional home) and reluctantly following the world of politics and business.  I don't enjoy following politics but I feel I must.  I have parents who are quite Liberal and a husband who is whole-heartedly a Conservative.  So, I can either read up and speak up when the dinner table conversation turns to politics, or I can just sit there silently while the debates volley over my head like a tennis match.  And anyone who knows me knows that I hate to sit idly by when there's a raging debate.


So, I'll blog because I can.  Je pense donc je suis.  I know that this translates into "I think, therefore I am".  But I just like to write it down because it's one of the only things I remember from 5 years of French class and 1 fascinating year of college Philosophy class with the only good looking professor on campus.  Not that this is relevant to what I was saying.
