I have no desire to change the world. I don't actually think my thoughts will help you live your life.
No. I like to write. Simple as that. I need an outlet for my own writing. I like to write about the day, news happenings, and Braves reports. I'm just looking for something akin to validation of my writing, so I can figure out how others would respond to the thoughts that I normally don't articulate. I am going to go exercise now, so that's it.
Okay, so what I love about writing like this is to the reader no time has elapsed, but to me, hours have passed: I've worked out, gotten fairly sweaty, showered, watched the West Wing.
More importantly than what I've done: Leo McGarry had a heart attack. Okay. He's not real. But it's heartbreaking to see the effects of Leo McGarry having a heart attack on the rest of the president's advisers' lives. Okay. Once again, they're not real. They're just fictional cast members on the West Wing, but still. Devastating.

Even though his first heart attack isn't real, it's still scary. John Spencer, the actor who plays Leo, died of a heart attack a little while after that episode aired.
Scary and sad :/ I remember feeling really upset when I had heard of John Spencer's death. It was weird because I had been upset when Leo had his first on the show; I felt dumb for feeling badly for a fake person and when the real person is just as vulnerable...well, more so, because someone isn't writing his life out for him. I can't really describe it, but it's an odd sensation, to question and hope that you feel more sad or sympathetic for John Spencer instead of Leo, despite the fact that you actually know Leo better.
Anyway, yeah...I at one point had a small obsession with that show.
