"Yeah, never thought I'd be on a boat
It's a big blue watery road (yeah)
Poseidon
Look at me, oh (all hands on deck)

Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat coming my way
Believe me when I say
I fucked a mermaid"

It's either this or join the now-villainized Somali pirates.

Constructive Criticism of an Old Friend

The New York Times is one of the things I look forward to each day. A bastion of truth, relevance, and honor, I believe the old gray lady is one of our country's greatest assets (especially during this traumatizing period of industry collapse).

However, an item in today's edition piqued my attention due its unwonted disregard for good taste.



I understand that the editor is in control of developing headlines, but the headline "On Tour of New York, Paterson Gets an Earful"(online), "On Statewide Tour, the Governor's Ears get a Workout"(print headline) is slightly inappropriate. After the fanfare of SNL's skit harping on Paterson's disability, the Times should proceed with caution when covering the governor. I'm sure it was a harmless mistake, but I can't be the only way to make the association between Paterson's lack of sight and the reference to him getting an "earful". The pull quote also emphasized the same point, declaring
"Amid many angry voices, a willingness to listen, and listen."

Cmon.

With the nature of the disability, hearing and all other senses would be heightened. He, of course, could not "get an eyeful" on the tour due to his inability to see. The headline was trite and in poor taste.

Daily C&V

i'm doing silly work for a silly class, but all work seems futile in the long run.

i have to make up an author and a book then promote it, so i'm essentially creating an existence when i should be developing my own

Posted from work, wishing I was skipping class and life yet again to experience the true moments.
