I guess that some people consider me to be a somewhat of...knowledgeable person (in the “bookish sense that is, please don’t ask me to fix any thing, though!).
I know that I probably shouldn’t do things like smoke cigarettes and drink so much coffee and energy drinks but...I guess I would throw things of that sort into the column labeled my “vices.”
And then there are the guilty pleasures…
Because of my cholesterol level, I know that I shouldn’t eat too many eggs but I do soooooo enjoy and cherish the occasional three-egg Denver Omelet about every other week.
Oh, and let’s not forget my love for any kind of sour or tarty candy like Sweet Tarts, Smarties, or those sour worm thingies...even though, as a rule, I don’t eat candy.
I don’t own a television and other than sporting events, I don’t even watch TV but lately...I’ve enjoyed watching every segment of The Wendy Williams show when they are uploaded to youtube.
I know, it’s gossipy, it’s shady...and I loves it.
And, of course, in my weekly Wednesday morning installments of What Are You Reading?, I do try to read the books and articles that I should be reading for the audience here but...I’ve gotten so Trump-tired that I chucked my reading list a few weeks ago and now I have a reading appetite for murder mysteries and little else.
So “vices,” I guess, are things that I may or may not enjoy that I may or may not be...addicted to that help me get through the day/week/month/or year...they’re things that I know that are probably not good for me that I should stop.
“Guilty pleasures,” on the other hand, are things that are (or seem) relatively harmless to me, things that I enjoy, and things that I do that I don’t feel a shred of guilt about.
Today’s question: Most of us have “vices” and I’m not going to ask about those...rather, what are your “guilty pleasures?”...you know, the things that you partake in that you feel no shame or guilt about at all?
Cincinnati Kos
Rachel Colyer, Daily Kos Senior Campaign Director, and David Akadjian, Daily Kos Contributing Editor, are planning a meet-up Saturday, March 4 from 3:30-5:00 PM at MOTR PUB, 1345 Main Street in Cincinnati. A short program by Rachel and David and including Josh Nelson from CREDO.
Make the Political Social
Objective: Bring folks together to get to know each other and make friends to support each other during the fight.
Ideally, we will have folks identify their area of interest for activism--writing, in-person events, social media--and break into small groups for those folks to get to know each other by talking about their interests and possibly making friends within those groups. For example, make a friend to go to events with, make friends on FB and twitter to share political items, support each others writing.
Then, we could have some more social time to cross-pollinate those groups.
Rachel would love to see some lists develop out of this where event activists can connect with social media folks and writers, so that everyone can help support local efforts.
This could create a powerful Cincinnati information force, and get folks together online and off, to pressure politicians locally.
Their next meeting date is lining up now. RSVP at this event page.
