Too many topics, not enough writing

I’ve got at least 4 blog posts, some with multiple facets on the go now and haven’t been able to coherently finish any of them. Sometimes events eclipse my ability to write. I also have multiple blogs so perhaps I should change that but I don't want to over-blog either. Hmmm.

Here’s a list of (hopefully) soon to be posted blogs:

1. Urban Planning in London
a. Basics of The Ontario Process
b. Communication Breakdown
c. The Wortley proposal specifically

2. Giambrone’s personal troubles

3. Should I stay or Should I go (thoughts on the future)

4. JP Personal Wellness – update on how I’m feeling/coping

Rather than belabour this post, I’m just sticking it up to whet your appetite. I’ll get going on the others after posting this. Suffice it to say, a certain couple of comments on the London Free Press’s website have me once again questioning what my life’s purpose is. I could stay in London and battle what seems sometimes to be an overwhelming opposition to sensible growth and urban planning or I could move back to Toronto where more people seem to agree with my worldview, the dating pool is significantly larger and (condition of my move) a job in Ontario Politics would await.

Today an old, younger friend retorted on Twitter that he thought unemployment and sedintarism (new word) had ruined my sense of humour – because I objected to his comment that the Giambrone affair was almost as embarrassing as his campaign video. A – Affairs are devastating for all involved and not a matter that I think should be joked about. B. I liked the video C. There’s something very misogynist in stating that a campaign video could in any way be more embarrassing or hurtful than an affair. I’ll forgive the kid for both comments and chalk it up to his being in his early 20’s. I can’t forgive the smugness of his retort.

Okay. Off to do some writing and finish off at least one more blog post. The Planning stuff is enjoyable for me but also requires a deep amount of thought. Now if only someone would pay me for this bottomless font of knowledge and talent! (London Free Press, I’m looking at you!)
