Disappointed =/

So I have neglected to write for two reasons.

The first: Life. As simple and as complicated as that is.
And the second and main reason: I am kind of disappointed on the way this blog is turning out.

When I had this what-i-though-was-glorious idea to make a blog, I thought it would be as follows:

Step one-Kate meets other person in a social confrontation
Step two-Other person asks Kate question or makes comment
Step three-Kate gives other person her honest opinion
Step four-Other person agrees/disagrees accordingly
Step five-Kate blogs about said confrontation

In that order. No derivations.
And obviously that is not what's been happening. Mostly this has just been:

Step one-Kate has a day
Step two-Kate comes up with an opinion about events in the day
Step three-Kate blogs about discovered opinion

Where's the confrontation? Where's steps four and five? Where is my revolutionary change in thinking? My 'A-HA' moment?

This is definitely not how I planned. Don't get me wrong I have still been honest at every opportunity and I LOOOVE telling everyone my opinions. Because as you can tell, I always have one. About everything. I don't know how to change this though. It has turned from my 'Truth of the Week' to more like a 'Truth of the Day.' I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I once explained my blog to one of my friends like this:

"The point of the blog was to write about the truth how I see it. No research necessary. It's my truth. People can disagree with that because they don't see the world through my eyes. And that's OK. They have their own truths. That's why I take comments."

So I guess I am doing what I wanted. Just not in the way I expected.

But for old times sake I do have a good truth that I thought would make people think a little bit. It goes like this:

"But, you say, what we did was for the good of the country, to protect its honor, its institutions, the glory of its flag. What is this honor that a breath can tarnish? This glory, that a whisper can bring low? What are these noble institutions, that a wind from any quarter can set trembling like towers of jelly? You do not know exactly what they are. For you do not live with them. They are not the trees to shade you, the water to quench your thirst. The are golden coins, hidden under the mattress in a very soiled wallet. The only pleasure they afford you is the rapturous dread lest someone be taking them away. And someone is and will always be taking them away. But not the one you think..."

This delectable tid-bit was written by Edna St. Vincent Millay right after the Sacco and Vinzetti case. I find it amazing that she wrote this a long time ago, (Well not that long ago considering us humans have been around for awhile), and it still can probably be true for today.

Well, that's it for now.
