Ugh.....Tuesday night family dinner

dont get me wrong, i love spending time with my family...some of the best and worst memories have been spent there. i look forward to it every week on tuesday...but one thing that has been really bugging me for the past 3 or 4 years is the inevitable topic of politics...i know it really should matter to me, and to a certain degree it does...but when thats all we ever talk about over dinner it gets tiring after a while..and something tells me that it has been going on for more than 4 years but its grown worse, or at least ive noticed it more...it just gets discouraging because eiter A, people dont agree and fights errupt, B, everyones talking at once and you cant even think straight, C, its always about some unahppy story on the news.......this probably sounds childish but its something that really does bother me....i try to stay at the dinner table until i cant handle the noise...because after a while, thats all it turns into, no more conversations, just noise, loud frustrated noise...so at the point when i cant take it anymore, i escape to where i am now, on the computer :) this is the first time ive blogged about something like this...so right now im sitting crosslegged in the hallway of my grandparents house on my sister's laptop, while listening to music on my new phone...which i love by the way :) i like how it plays songs straight from my itunes, especially since i think my ipod was stolen. oh well............................thats all i had to say for now. good bye :]
