Bit ranty, I guess.
I've been feeling really odd about stuff like this lately. There is so much happening in the world, so many great things, so many horrific things. I understand the world keeps spinning, but it feels we're so quick to dimiss and move on. And I mean this about wars, games, music, political events, natural disasters. We churn through things so quickly.yup
