Black March

I find the initiative commendable. However, they still don't reach far enough into the population for their little project to work.

Wow dude you're serious?

whoops. well.

The only full blown exaggeration there is on the part about books. I actually have learned a few things there (the stock market mostly). The rest is somewhat exaggerated with a bit of truth in it.

when it comes to the news, i was mainly speaking on TV. I used to watch it. but when TV went digital I ended up not getting a converter box and broke the habit pretty easily for a year or two. I only just got a new TV for christmas this year and i already find more than half of what they talk about depressing as heck. I get enough of that from life itself. any warnings of danger in my area is welcome, but their stock coverage is worthless, political banter is crap. and I really don't care much for the death tally that is the average story. Not that i don't feel remorse for the tragedies... I need hope in people, not a constant reminder about our failures. I admit I hardly ever look in a news paper though.

Music is a bit more simple, I was raised in a somewhat strict christian home and most music was frowned upon. As a result I just don't care much for most of it. Though now I'm opening a bit more to it, I mostly prefer stuff without lyrics, cause i feel like i don't need words telling me how to feel about it. When they do though, I usually only bother with the stuff that has a somewhat decent theme to it. (not focused on just being for the party/ sex/ the usual vices. blame my upbringing.) Though I am realizing how much of a social crutch it is. but most of what i listen to is music from games, simply because it reminds me of the ones I played through/gets my imagination going and of course, mostly instrumental and was a bypass for the music rule i dealt with way back. All of this rules out most of what's up for sale on the average store shelf.
