EVERY DAY I have my date with Brian Williams and EVERY DAY Richard Engel crashes our party just long enough to remind me that the rest of the world is incredibly fucked up and it is his greatest joy in life to be in the middle of horrific turmoil. The man is a beast. A bullet-proof-vest-wearing, completely incomprehensible, illogically adorable beast. With a possible death wish.
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday here in the United States, I would like to extend my thanks to the universe at large that Richard Engel is still around to remind me to care about the Middle East. Amen.
you poor thing *ggg* ;)
ReplyDeletebut my solution to any chance of being remembered that other people might have more "bad luck" than me is: I don't watch the news or read newspaper or anything like that :D
call me egocentric xD

Ah, see, I always feel guilty and out-of-the-loop if I skip out on the news for even a few days! I actually try to avoid most news coverage on the weekends, because I think it's healthy to step away from the chaos of the world sometimes...but I'm kind of a news junkie the rest of the week. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's the complete opposite with me - I actually only watch the news when I stay up till midnight to see the late night news with a compendium of "everything" that happened that day
ReplyDeleteThat used to happen more often before I started to work *ggg*

ReplyDeleteand now I can't remember anymore what I said ... but something about guilt and guilty pleasure of not knowing
:(
anyway - have a nice weekend :)

Stupid Blogger and its weirdness... At least the comment posted in the first place (since a lot of times it seems to think no comments should be posted at all).
