Here’s something I’d never hear myself say: I’ve been watching the Democratic National Convention.

Or at least clips from it on social media.

I don’t have the attention span to watch anything for that many hours in a row.

Unless it’s wrestling, and even then I’m taking full advantage of the technology to zip past Gunther’s mic work.

The split screen of the DNC with its GOP counterpart is staggering.

The Democrats have managed to turn the driest of all political processes into a barn burner of a party, while simultaneously selling out the same arena that hosted the RNC in Wisconsin, by being…optimistic.

While their counterparts are peddling their vision of a country and a world on the brink of disaster, the Democrats are opting to frame things otherwise.

Facts are what’s happening.

Truth is what you do with those facts.

Events make up my day.

How I respond to those events?

That’s how my day goes.

And given a choice, I’d rather have a day with Lil’ John as my soundtrack instead of the vocal stylings of Robert James Richie.

Here’s to an amazing day.

Or an awful one.

Your choice.
