Yes, I did it. Think ‘Dora’ hopping around. Yes that is the same feeling I have after I managed to set up my first blog. No big deal you might say but when the weeds of procrastination took a permanent residence at the decision making house of my head for months and years, I thought the battle is lost. The first step is always the most difficult and I have taken that but hey I have done that in the past as well and never took the next step. Hopefully that all will change, I hope soJ.

So as I was hunting for the right name to my blog, I discovered that every possible of my name and its variations and combinations already taken. Interestingly each of those blogs got registered years back and all have only a maximum of 3 updates till today. Most of them have not updated for the past 3 years. Could that be that there is some thing going on with the name and all those who have that name are procrastinators? That needs some research, don’t you think?

So what can I ramble on today? There are so many things going on. The meltdown, the election, lipsticks and pigs, the most powerful nation has a full house. One thing that I definitely want to say is that of all the times this nation has faced this is one time we definitely do not need a “Six Pack Joe” anywhere near the White House. I love “Six Pack Joe” for a beer, to talk and chat and watch a game together or go to a parent teacher meeting with. But do I want him to decide my 401K situation or negotiate with Russia or make a pitch at the UN? Come on please let “Joe be Joe” and let him not worry Ok?

One thing from the meltdown that makes me wonder is who the leader is and where is he leading? For the most powerful nation on earth in a crisis I guess the President is the guy to lead. All I see is a wrinkled brow face appearing on television every morning explaining that if we don’t act now it is dooms’s day. Then he retires back into his bed and hopes it all was just a bad dream. If the President cannot get the leaders of the house and senate together for resolving a global crisis and getting things done what is he there for? Imagine that one President in the past had locked up the world leaders Rabin and Arafat in Camp David and did not release them free till they agreed on something. For that outcome even deserved a Noble peace prize. Footnote: Arafat in those days was considered a leader.

For now, I too am planning to watch TV, pray and sleep so that tomorrow when I wake up either it is that wrinkle brow all over again or the whole thing has just passed away like a bad dream.
