I’m posting the latest financial information requested by the whineylimey (Posted by: WhineyLimey | March 12, 2005 02:35 PM).
Pygmy Orphan Inc.(NYSE:POI) was up 77 cents per share to $39.31 after the Congo conglomerate named former Fantasy Island star Ricardo Montalban as chairman and CEO, hoping his experience with both persons of short stature and fantasy based entertainment would help the company with the convergence of its own entertainment holdings and its desires to make week long sojurns to Disneyland affordable for coffee drinkers everywhere.
The lives of other people fascinate me. I mean, really, that’s why I read as many blogs as I do. If you’re coming here, chances are you’re just as voyeuristic as I am. I’m of the belief that the main reason blogs have become so popular is the cavernous need, arguably perverted, to live for just a moment in the minds of others.
What I am often troubled by is that anyone besides my girlfriend, the red queen, reads what I write here. There are lives being lead that are much more interesting than mine. I mean my typical day goes a little something like this:
- Wake up to the automatic coffee maker alarm going off.
- Drink myself awake.
- Write (either for this blog or for my publisher).
- Go to the beach or for a walk. Sometimes I even go to the beach for a walk.
- Encounter interesting people and usually, if things go as planned, insult them.
That’s it. Not much to it, yet people return here like swallows to capistrano. Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate the loyalty and the attention. But I am a bit confused as to why anyone would bother. Maybe they expect me to write something worthy of their (really your) attention. They’ve (you) been waiting for a long time now and I would imagine, they (again, you) are probably getting rather discouraged. All I really ever do is explain how difficult I am and the various things that make me a bitter old fat balding man who just happens to live on an island that is the most remote (geographically speaking) place on Earth.
