I have learned rather quickly that the blogosphere has standards, especially the few miscreants that may be reading this dribble. It’s clear that this tiny crowd, or platoon, takes umbrage with the provided umbrage when I dabble in the stale - there seem to be expectations, which is a bit unfortunate as this is the reason I blog, to escape all the daily expectations.
The comments, emails and prank calls received as a result of Balloon Boy Closure were the equivalent of a web-based tasering. I will therefore not attempt to post breaking news on Letterman and have retired gut-busting thoughts on other current events (e.g., Britney Spears, the Hindenburg, etc.,). I have also learned that cynical is good, dark is better but, ‘winey’ just leads to comparisons with Andy Rooney – which is not exactly the goal. Finally, I apologize that certain umbrage is created late at night and may lack vision and sentence construction – damn, that was winey (Rooney!).
As a token of good faith and noting it’s rather early in the a.m., I am quickly addressing a current event – the NWA Laptop Pilots. The thought here is simply this - I have never felt more secure about flying. All this headline proves to me is that flying is the easiest thing on the planet. It’s so freaking easy that it’s possible to forget to land. I also can’t think of a single additional vehicle you can operate while on your laptop…not your car, not a riding lawnmower, not even a skateboard. My next twitter may be, ‘hey look, no hands, I am flying a plane right now.’
Please note that I use 'Breaking News' loosely. I often get behind in the day to day events so anything that happens this month is considered potentially 'Breaking'.
Any thoughts on the Nixon resignation or Walter Payton breaking the all-time rushing record?
