So, here I am another night on the graveyard shift. I must be a sick puppy or maybe I am some sort of masochistic. I have this weird habit of reading regular internet news feeds. This is not such a bad thing. It is what I do next that maybe should land me on the shrink's couch. I read the comments on the articles. I see the great proof the greater truth to what comic Bill Burr says "87% of people who post comments on youtube are assholes". Yet, for some sadistic reason, I have to scroll through them and have a depression and annoyance fest.
Immediately I thought of KOS. I am very grateful for the dairies and commentary here. They are overwhelmingly good. I am impressed with the amount of research and sometimes I am overawed by the length of some of these stories. Yet, I am impressed that for the most part the stories and issues that I read on this site are great. I really learn new things and think about issues in from perspective that many times I had not considered.
We may have some less than good diarists here (Such as your truly) but, let's face it you are much better than the norm.
For example check out this story on Chelsea Handler that was written by an alleged professional writer.
Can you get this one?
For a piece of journalism it is incredibly unintelligible. If you can understand the writer point then you have something on the ball that I do not have.
It is great to have a place that goes above and beyond. It wonderful to read comments which for the most put are well edited, to the point and adds to the conversation.
In these interesting times, this site and your contributions are like an oasis in this dreary cultural, political dessert of futile bullshit. Thank you for enriching me and my life. I will meet some of you at the barricades. In the old Arabic greeting "I thank you for your lives".
