As someone who takes an active interest in the political scene, about 2.00am this morning I shuffled off to bed not exactly feeling on top of the world...(Ok, I'm letting my political affiliations out of the bag here...)...getting up this morning, the news was even worse. Well, what can a man do when his world has caved in, except to go fishing...so that's what I'm doing tonight.
Well, Ok, I'm exaggerating how I feel a little regarding the election, but it brings me to the point. People say that fishing is relaxing, it helps you take your mind off things. But does it? I've found that when I've got something bearing very heavily on my mind, being away at the waters edge can sometimes compound the problems because you've got nothing else to think about and you focus on the situation. Now, with minor situations, I find that getting away is great for the soul, but I'm talking about major things here.
Isn't going fishing when you're depressed a bit like getting drunk when you feel down? You actually feel worse...or so I'm told..the strongests thing I drink is Secret Agent to keep my eyes looking red....
