It's been a rough week. I reached a level of depression and frustration which had me turning everything off. The news and social media were just too much to take with the loss of so many people to the gay and Orlando community, a community which I am now a part of. I just couldn’t handle seeing the final texts of a son to his mother minutes before he is killed. I don’t want to hear your endless debates over your right to buy weapons. I don't care if it was terrorism, a hate crime or whatever... people were killed and it was by an American. I don't want to hear all insanity, because we should be better than this. I just turned it all off. It’s easy for me to do. Too easy, but you feel so dead inside. Today reminded me why I love social media so much. Family, friends, geeks, friends of friends, people I haven't even met but share the same passions with, thank you. I really do love and appreciate the wonderful birthday wishes. Keep watching Doctor Who, geek out, ride a bike, visit the mouse, love something with a passion, be nice to everyone, accept our differences, and please vote Clinton (sorry, had to throw that one in).
