seven more little words, from a reader: “Tired is what I say it is.”
Feagler has more whine than Bartles and James. There’s investigative journalism (a la Roldo) then there’s the griping “where were the good old days??!” (a la Feagler). While it is true that some aspects of life that we are seeing too little of, such as critical thought and amiable dissent, there are things that we have now that are better than then. Before the 70’s, who in the mainstream talked about sustaining the environment? Before the 60’s, where was the regular discourse about women, people of color and the GLBT popultaion as equals, not pariahs or objects of abuse? There are some things that are better now (God bless TiVO) and some that were better then (vinyl still rocks!). It’s a combination of old and new that enriches us all. Feagler’s inability to see that makes him rather useless.

I’m a 29 year-old web designer, artist, gardener, mother-of-one, wife, and human being, living in the West Park area of Cleveland. Politically, I’d be classified as a flaming liberal. I’m one of those strange people that believes in free expression, human rights, keeping the planet around just a little bit longer, and allowing my kid to grow up to a peaceful society. In terms of spirituality, I’m Christian. I used to be Lutheran, now I’m just me.
I’ve been described as a hellion, strong-willed, stubborn, funny, loyal, and a number of things that are a little too blue to put on this page. In a different life I partied hard, drank like a fish, and cursed like a sailor. I still do a few of those things, but with more prudence. I have a fondness for black t-shirts and eyeliner, hairdye, jeans and workboots. I like to go barefoot when frostbite’s not a threat. I tend to be a little sarcastic.
I’m a recovering fundamentalist, a techno-junkie, a DIY-er and a research addict. I devour books as if they’re pints of Ben and Jerry’s. This sickens my spouse.
I have a number of websites including Burning River Studio and Bell Vance Art. I am a compulsive website builder. I love WordPress.
Distracted Mind is where I write down things that don’t belong anywhere else.
