So the wife and I were hanging out doing the rare watching of the local news (at least rare for me) and lo and behold – IT’S A CAR CHASE!
These are big time TV here in SoCal. So big they even used to have a paging service back in the day to alert you so you could tune in.
So of course we sat mesmerized by some idiot driving recklessly through the wilds of Pasadena. Great fun! Look at the (alleged) drunk going fast! Woohoo! Will the Cops beat him? Will he get spike-stripped? Will he just give up?
Well, it was all fun until the (alleged) drunk T-boned someone coming home from work.
It.was.bad – very.bad.
At that moment, all the vicarious enjoyment went away and was replaced by nausea in the pit of my stomach as I came to the realization: I just watched a live snuff film.
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last months. We’ve done a lot of traveling over the holidays and when not traveling I have had my nose to the grindstone with my new business. I’ll be getting back to more regular posting this week starting with a look at the Windows Phone 7 OS – an OS that I think is a real gem hiding in plain sight.
Here’s to 2011 being a better year for everyone than 2010 was. Cheers!
This is a brilliant web series on Hulu. It stars Renee O'Connor of Xena: Warrior Princess fame and Adam Cardon of Days of Our Lives / Blue Lake Massacre fame.
I don’t want to spoil anything so I will say nothing other than it is top-notch sci-fi noir. GOOD STUFF!
Watch it here and spread the word. This so needs to be a regular series. I really hope this gets picked up by a network.
All I can say is, it’s about bloody time!
Being that I sail, I tend to hang with men. Not fashionable men, not squirmy men, but honest to God men. We race boats, drink, and are men in all our faults, bravado, and cockiness. We’re not squishy, or afraid to break a nail, and don’t have a six-pack generally (unless it’s cold beer), and we do not shop at The Gap.
And don’t get me started on the smart, capable, and interesting women! Women who are all women. They ooze womanliness. Women who like men. Sweaty men. Men who drink and curse and make blue jokes. Women who us men are barely worthy of and who make us better men by being the true women they are. Yin and Yang – look it up.
As I have sat in my manliness bubble and wondered what has happened to men and manliness in general (need I say to see the Bieber haircut as a prime example – by the way, mine is a #1 clipper on the sides, a #6 on top, and tapered in the back) , it is good to see there are those who feel the same as I do.
I will now wear the Retrosexual label proudly.
About. Damn. Time.
