This is harder than I thought

Keeping my New Year's resolution is going to be difficult especially on days like today when I really have nothing to post. I tried to stay off the Internet as much as possible today; I've been spending way too much time reading the News. I am not happy about what is happening in our world, it seems every day somebody is bombing somebody else. This is something I just don't understand. And for the most part it's all about religion. OK, I can understand dying for your beliefs but killing for them? That just goes against everything I believe.

Jihad, even writing it will probably throw up flags every where but it's what us Americans have come to know as "holy war." One of the sites I recently visited about scared the hell out of me, What Every American Needs To Know About Jihad, take a look. If you "google" jihad you will come up with so much information it would take you weeks to get through it. I just cannot get my mind around the idea of killing people because they do not have the same beliefs, ideas, thoughts, religion, whatever as I do. How can anyone truly believe that it is Ok, let alone a good thing to take the life of another human being?

I seriously need to stop reading the News and focus on more positive things. Tomorrow is Sunday the beginning of the week, I think I'll take a week off from the News, no paper, no internet surfing, just focus on some good healthy things. Like porn or something, Kidding! I think I'll work on this years bike rides and get all of my maps printed and organized. Hell I have a riding group I need to get together and set up. Sunny warm days are just around the corner.
