Shortest Rant Ever
Jim Murray
Helping businesses send the right messages in a consistent voice.
But as I opened the Pages file to get started, I realized that I was breaking my own cardinal rule.
Why? Because I didn't have any idea what I was going to say. This had a lot to do with the fact that last night I saw a great ball game, had some delicious ginger cookies and a full night’s sleep.
I woke up this morning with nothing in particular on my mind. Nothing in all the stuff that would normally piss me off that jumped out at me screaming “Write about me, doofus!”
This has a lot to do with the fact that I am weaning myself off writing about American politics, on the advice of my very smart sister, who told me I would eventually go crazy trying to make sense out of all that.
So here I am. A ranter in search of something to be pissed off about.
Don’t worry though. This is just a temporary aberration. Something will come along. Something always does.
In the meantime, I’m going to take a ride to Giant Tiger and cop some more of those ginger cookies. They are obviously doing wonders for my disposition.
Have a great weekend everybody. And I apologize for being so fucking happy.
