I've Been Thinking, And Does It Hurt!

Lately,
I have been thinking about what a friend of mine said,
who wrote to me in an email,
and what an annotator said,
who wrote anonymously on this
Blog.

Both are on the opposite side of the scale,
as far as their
Political Leanings
are concerned.
But both criticized me.

My friend criticized me for being too
Left-Wing,
that I was angry at the
World
for some reason,
and why couldn't I let things be as they are
and write about,
"The birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees?"

Anonymous wrote,

"Are you now a communist sympathizer, or friends of ISIS. Unfortunate things happen, there were reasons why Richard Jewel was accused, he perpetuated the situation. The Government sucks and it's all the republicans fault, the liberals are great."

First,
like most
Americans
who don't follow through on stories after the sensational
"Headlines"
have broken,
Anonymous
does not have his facts right on the
"Unsung Hero,"
Richard Jewell.

Richard Jewell made the mistake of finding the pipe bomb 9 minutes before Eric Robert Rudolph called 9-1-1 to deliver his warning of a bomb.

The FBI couldn't imagine someone lucky enough, of finding the bomb
and saving countless lives,
without prior knowledge of the bomb existing.

The U.S. Attorney General at the time,
Janet Reno,
publicly apologized to Mr. Jewell saying,

"I'm very sorry it happened. I think we owe him an apology. I regret the leak."

I believe
Richard Jewell
was a Hero.

That is why I defend him so.

Now,
since the person who signed his
or her comments
"Anonymously,"
I'm not smart enough to tell if it is sarcasm
or if they are being serious.

If I knew the name of the person,
I would know by their personality.

Unless,
of course,
I never met the person.

Why do I bring these two people up in this
Post?

My friend,
the e-mailer,
and
Anonymous,
the annotator?

They both bring up a good point about my
Political Views.

"I'm right and the rest of you are wrong!"

(Just kidding.)

These views I write are my personal views.

Take them
or leave them,
but have an opinion on the subjects I write about.

I am very opinionated,
politically minded,
believe I'm funny at times,
and love to inform people about new technologies that are on the horizon.

And,
since my kids are at the age,
teenagers
and above,
where they prefer to listen to music,
play on their game consoles,
read a book,
be with their own families
and friends,
or do whatever my children do on their cell phones,
rather than listen to me rant
and rave about this
and that,
my only outlet is to put my genius out here on my
Blog
for the
World
to see.

My original intent of this
Blog
was to write
Short Stories
and
Poetry.

To put it out there for any reader to enjoy
and comment on.

Also,
to help me write a story called
"The Experiment,"
under the heading
"Short Stories & Flash Fiction."

Since I started this
Blog
on
December of 2012,
I've had followers sign up,
readers commenting,
and a number of people viewing it until April of this year when I started voicing my opinions on Politics, Technologies, and stupid, useless groups like ISIS who behead children.

My following has since tripled, I get comments on subjects twice a week, and I've had people viewing my Blog from other countries besides the United States.

I am going to start putting more stories and poems out there for you to read though.

And I invite anyone willing to give it a shot, help me write the story, "The Experiment."

But if I am beginning to write just about the "Birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees," shoot me please!

Because I just became boring.

And if I'm boring, then my imagination is gone.

I won't be able to write Novels, Novellas, Novelettes, Poetry, or Flash Fiction any longer without my imagination.

Without it, life would be very boring indeed.
Because of my imagination, for me personally, it is better than any TV show, movie, book, console game, phone app, or music written today.

I still write music, started writing stories, been a computer geek for a job I once had, been a gray hat hacker, I'm writing two plays with an app on my tablet, read every day, and am looking forward to future technologies and what they will bring!

Now if we could only get rid of the "Patriot Act and the NSA," life in the future would be bliss!

This is,

This is my story and I'm sticking to it!
