I have no TV anymore… it rocks.

Agrees with Ryan.

I just wonder why television is so reality crazy. I can’t even flip through my little meager 7-10 channels during primetime and find too many good shows, until about 10 pm at night, when Law and Order in one form or another comes on. And Don’t forget some of the sitcoms… like Everybody Loves Raymond, (still running on Fox), and Joey on NBC. It’s better than some of that reality based junk, like Fear Factor. I agree that most of today’s sitcoms are stupid, but a lot of them are funny and stupid… all in the same show.

Bruce 1st comment - Amen.

Bruce 2nd comment - I’ve had the moderation feature since day one, or day two of the WP layout. It stops online casino and porn comments when the filters don’t catch them. If it was truly 1984, I would eliminate comments alltogether and have quick subliminal messages like “Big Brother Watches Us All” and “We See Your Moves” scattered through the entries.

My comment is awating moderation? Does that mean you censor things or just make them “moderately” interesting so not to complete with your blog entry?

Either way it’s sooo 1984. I wonder what prompted the filter all of a sudden?

I’ve discovered something about you! When you are sick, your analogy and metaphor levers swing WAY over to max! I’m not certain if you should have stuck to the King metaphor for two paragraphs, but at this point the reader is just thankful the “teenage mutant ninja posse” did not make an appearance. I am, however, certain you’re missing your calling and you should enroll immediately in literature classes and take over This American Life on NPR.

What is the alternative? A poor 40yr old design engineer with chubby cheeks and black rimmed glasses.. a kind of Virginia Drew Carey.. hovering over a mechanical thinga-a-ma-bob… screwing things in here and there.. considering it.. taking it apart.. screwing things in again..

all the while under his breath pretending he’s a Royal Night slaying a dragon and living stories in his head that would be much more interesting if he would share them.

Of course there is always the blog.. the holographic Blogger blog with TrueSmell technology people play on their iVision from Apple while riding the bullet train to work so they are not late (Indian and Chinease bosses are so demanding).

All the while you think you could have been an eccentric writer, hanging in a tribal village in Sri Lanka like Authur C. Clarke, leaving all the technology behind, and your only fear is the next tsunami.
