A Somewhat Bearable Lightness of Tweaking

After yesterday's wonderfully uplifting post, today we'll focus on Happy, Happy, Happy things – such as...uh, hmmm, um… I'll find something, I promise. Just give me a minute. How about how cute little kittens look all bundled-up in someone's caring arms? Or Baby Wild Animals in general rolling around in fields of green looking oh-so-darling until they grow up and kill someone? Whoops. That's not a Happy Thought, is it? I'll try harder.

Wait a minute! This isn't a Happy Blog! This is a Flogging Blog…and, at times, a Personal Complaining Blog. Why should I write about Happy Things? So many blogs are out there telling us how to be happy; how to live a productive, "positive thoughts" life with numerous exercises to do in order to bring that smile to one's frowning face. I have friends with blogs like that. Some write about food which makes me hungry and then I roam around the house looking for something to eat that may be similar to the delicious recipe and gorgeous pictures of their perfectly plated dinner or lunch. So, I think I need to stay on point here with this blog's purpose: Bah Humbug! Flog-Flog-Flog!

There, I feel better now…jumping back In The Saddle Of Hate. Well, no, that's incorrect. I don't "hate" anyone that I flog despite the snarks. It's primarily Dislike of those whom I don't like in the political circus, or when someone such as Ann Curry is knocked to the NBC NYC debris-riddled curb. You know, that sort of mess. Which reminds me. A few hours ago I read that Uber Preppie Willie Geist (of MSNBC) will be joining The Today Show to save the program from sinking further into the swamp of Ratings Hell. Hah-hah-hah! Willie? Mr. Smirker? Why don't they just clone Matt Lauer and be done with it?

It's not that Willie isn't smart or well-spoken or professional. He simply looks and often acts like most of the East Coast Media characters during his appearances on Morning Joe. Until then, I kinda liked the guy. Then, something strange happened. He began to smirk. He became (at least in my perspective) aware that he was on the verge of becoming The Next Boy Wonder of NBC/MSNBC – and the over-confidence began to ooze from his New Suits whenever Mika and Joe would turn portions of their show over to him. Oh well. As mentioned in other posts, I'm not a Morning Talk Show person and doubt I'll be watching his debut. But, in the spirit of Flogging, I'm focusing the lashes on him for some weird reason. And no, he doesn't remind me of any former boyfriends. It's not personal.

So, how was the above for a balance between Happy-Happy-Happy and Snarky-Snarky? Is that the best I can do today? Sigh. You betcha. *wink*

Thanks for stopping by...
