It seems that my creativity has taken a hike and I was not invited! I have been wrestling with a blog post for several days now and it seems that I am down for the count.
I have indeed been busy between work and Tour de Fleece that is not the issue.
It is just that when I sit down to write, a malaise comes over me and I cannot string a simple sentence together with any measure of coherent thought!
Therefore, what is a girl to do when Writer’s Block suddenly seems insurmountable?
In an attempt to restart my mojo, I am going to share with you the foibles of dating today…
This is not for the faint-of-heart, Gentle Reader.
Trust me.
So without further adieu, I bring you the next chapter in the Lack of Love Life of Kat:
The interwebz have given single people a completely new pond from which to fish, it seems. Dating sites abound from the “pay through the nose” types to free – and let me just tell you, free is not always good nor do you get what you pay for!
I recently heard this on NPR and I found myself moved by both the story and song. Therefore, you can only imagine my surprise upon hearing that many were outraged by Rene Marie’s rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.
Outrage? Seriously?
I guess I just don’t get it…at all.
What in this is outrage worthy?
I ask you, what is there to be outraged over in the words she so eloquently sang?
I am proud to be an American, and extremely proud of the ability that we all have in our freedom of speech that our Constitution upholds for us!
I will leave you with the youtube video of Ms. Marie singing along with the annual tradition that NPR has of reading the Declaration of Independence.
Have a safe and blessed fourth!
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
