Jordan today and Georgia. Norway yesterday (That "Wonderful Norway" post six years ago. That was fun.). Serbia a few days ago, Mongolia last week.
I've been making an effort to be less angry since I f-bombed the three religions in the Middle East. I read one time that following the news will put you in a bad mood. This is Public Occurrences though, I have to read the news and write about it when it's significant. I can't ignore Islam. Or Russia. They're too important, too prominent in the world, and too violent. And that's going to make me angry and I'm going to write what I feel. I don't know if it would suit, or would suit me anyway, to be light-hearted about Islam or Russia when I'm heavy-hearted. I have always felt an obligation (1) on this blog and (2) to myself, to express what I feel. "Fuck Pope Francis." Hard to read that. Hard to write that. I was furious with him and wrote furiously. I'm not going to write much about the common man and his common concerns, about the "species," as Shakespeare did. I'm going to write about my concerns.
I feel light-hearted about other things, like Norway, like Kim Kardashian, and can write light-heartedly about them. So that's what I've done.
