It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

Irony Happens

This morning I hit a little patch of ice coming up on a stop sign. I couldn't help but laugh as I slid helplessly towards the car in front of me, a white Explorer with "Progressive Insurance" plastered all over it. I didn't hit it, but almost felt sorry I missed it, just for the sheer irony the situation would create. At least my insurance company would be right there on the scene to take care of the details!
