my back hurts
like a son of a bitch, it does. I don’t know what it is, but it’s in my lower back. I’m gonna stretch hard in about ten minutes, and crash out. but it was getting me up in and out of my chair today at work, and I’d take ten minutes here or there to go lie on the floor. though I’m not doing that now. I’m positive that will only make it hurt more.
Obama announced a date for troops to leave Iraq.
that strikes me as big news, right? right? are you still looking out the window at the staggering economy?
and a big metro daily paper in Denver took a shit and died. like that.
people at work are creeped out about this kind of news. newspapers, afterall, are an industry, and when a big player falls. it underscores how financially weak daily newspapers have become.
at work, the general desription of current events goes as ”god damned bloggers are hassling us half to death. how do you compete with free content on the internet?!” to which I don’t bother answering, because it’s not like the media corporations that call the shots would listen to reason anyway.
but I digress. pour a sip on the concrete for the Rocky Mountain News. and imagine you work there, and though there’s so much left to happen your paper won’t be there to cover it.
so much left to happen. I think we’re going back in 2020. it’s an exciting time to be alive.
