1) Kennedy: Walking down the high school corridors I found many of my classmates crying. When I learned of it, I didn't cry, but I wondered why they did. When I got home I got up to speed, and stayed glued to the tube for a very long time--days! I was watching in the wee hours of the morning when his brother Robert went down--again, glued to the tube. By this time it wasn't a matter of crying or thinking about crying--I was damn mad!
2) Dutifully, I was both at my computer and glued to CNBC, trying to find a stock position, when the first plane hit. I observed the second one in real time. No fun at all! Eventually, several friends came over and it was anything but PartyTime--we were glued to the tube!
3) I saw Waco happen in real time also--glued to the tube!
4) When the three major war conflicts happened--Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq--there I was, you guessed it: glued to the tube!
5) And, sure enough, there I was glued to the tube watching a the world series when the earthquake struck.
Sadly, I'm still glued to the tube. What's gonna be the next horror I witness? I only wish I was in charge of the world--so that these things couldn't happen. Oh, well! Woe!!!
PS: Oh, I forgot--this is a smoking thread. Put me down for a daily pack of Chesterfield Kings, supported by a Guinness, or few. |
