today...

Today was wonderful! I went to work, and late in the afternoon I decided to take the night off and go to the baseball game! The weather was perfect, Nathan lasted into the 9th inning and had a great family night. Having Alex here to share in all of this completes my world...I cannot imagine life better than this. For once in my life, I will be happy and enjoy these moments - FINALLY.

general ranting

Another day, much like others... I'm feeling defeated. I have "debates" with people who manage to only convince me of their inability of intellectual thought. I cannot figure out how people cannot transcend whatever inhibitors the may hold-dogma, emotion, ignorance, fear, other-allowing themselves to comprehend any differing opinion just may hold some factual merit. I wish I could once hear from someone "...I understand your point, but I don't agree- therefore we will choose to disagree...".
I suppose what is really eating at me is this: how did it happen that extreemists are the only ones dictating the "truth"?
And anyone caught in between is... lost?
