So last week on American idol, at the beginning of the results show, Ryan Seacrest lamented to the TV audience. He said something to the effect: 'The competition is to tight this season, you, audience, and a *very, very* hard job deciding who must stay, and who must go'...
What a testament to our state of leisure! No, a hard job would be plowing an entire field manually so you and your family don't starve during the winter. Today, though, I suppose sitting on your couch with a bag or Dorritos, and being asked to text in a vote for a singing contestant, is asking a lot. Don't work too hard now, fatties. Myself included.
We have it good now, don't we? Gratitude is a powerful thing. My preference: not gratitude towards any god, but gratitude in and for life.
