Trivial Matters...

I have examined the headlines. I have read notes on the state of the union address by President Obama. I have even watched a clip or two of The Daily Show. Nothing is interesting to me. Nothing strikes a chord, makes we want to espouse, emote or egregiously attack. Strange. Perhaps I am in a happy, secure place. Perhaps it is because my trivia team won tonight, rocking a near perfect score. Perhaps it was the 4 beers I had. Or perhaps it is because of the fact that, thought wreaking of alcohol, dropping down a glass of cabernet sauvignon which my wife had opened in my absence, my cats still want to snuggle with me.

The truth is, it is probably none of these things. But, if I pretend hard enough, being a raging alcoholic who is one among the beasts may just be enough for me, ironic or otherwise engaging dialogue be damned. After all, it worked for Nebuchadnezzar.
