I've been worried lately because I am convinced the world is coming to an end. When I read CNN each morning my mind is filled with stories of dead babies, how we've mangled the environment beyond repair and impending doom that the recession will bring us. I'm so sick of reading the news--half the time someone's yammering on about how nobody can find a job and we're all going to be broke and homeless, meanwhile someone else is talking about how we're really not in a crisis. So I'm going to quit reading CNN for one month and see how much happier I am in a month. I'm sick and tired of reading about every single dark and depressing topic CNN can muster. People in this country have been through wars and recessions before so I don't understand why this time around has to be so sensationally covered by the media. Unless it really is the end of the world, in which case I have four years to be completely badass. So, for one month I will not watch news nor read any national newspaper or Web site.
