Is it weird that I make a concerted effort to avoid most if not all news, I don't have cable, I don't like the world and I don't want to be negatively affected by all the stupid crap happening.... When we bombed Syria, I didn't know until I accidently walked by a TV with coverage on. The less I know about this stuff is better.
To further add, I find comfort in reading about griping in hockey some days, it's not all that serious and after a very stressful day, I actually find comfort in reading some of the hockey threads here, even though it's just you f*cks ;)
