All the Noise, Noise, NOISE!

I did something radical this weekend.

Quietly radical.

I canceled my DirecTV account.  Now it's not that DirecTV did anything to me personally,  nor was it an issue of service quality.   It was all about the noise.  I can't stand the noise - the discussions, the analyses that are nothing more than shouting fests.  I scream.  You scream.  We all scream.  Except it's not for ice cream anymore.  It's about power and influence and destroying each other.

It's not that I don't have any deep-seated and deeply held beliefs: political, ethical, moral and religious.  I do.  And I don't care to have them purposely misrepresented any longer.

I've just decided to turn off the noise, and to grab a book, or take a walk or sit by the one I love and enjoy the silence.

Happy Lent!
Happy Silence!
