Musings on a Sunday (posted on a Monday)
October 15th, 2007 by Bill
I am looking forward to Tuesday. Out here, in Fredericton, that’s when they say we will finally be rid of this ongoing wet, grey gloom that has sat on us for longer than I care for. Sun will finally return.
In the meantime it’s Sunday and grim and dull and there are a gajillion NFL games happening none of which I can bring myself to give a rat’s behind about. And so I am musing idly …
Why won’t Facebook let me change my name to Bill? Why must I always be William, like some forlorn prince in need of a real job?
Why do I still have Sheldon Souray in my Facebook NHL pool when it seems the Oilers are planning on another fiasco season?
What the hell am I going to write when November comes and I’m supposed to create a novel in a month?
Why do the guys on Hockey Night in Canada spend so much time talking about Crosby and marketing and economics and business … Isn’t the name of the show Hockey Night in Canada?
Could contemporary politics get any more discouraging?
Does anybody, anywhere respect Greenpeace anymore? Or has the term Greenpeace become synonymous with asshole?
Why is so much of new music instantly forgettable?
Why do people who don’t believe in God care so much about religion?
Why is television programming that follows the six o’clock news hour (meaning TV shows that start at 7:00 pm) so bloody awful? It’s like a broadcasting landfill. (Interesting that so much of it is entertainment news. Is there a connection? Hmmm?)
So much for my musing. I must get off my ass and do something now!
(I posted the above on Facebook yesterday but decided I prefer posting things here. There are quite a few things about Facebook I find annoying.)
