I spend a lot of time on Facebook because I'm old, alone and have no life. I work, I eat, I drink, I drink some more, I sleep a little and I check the Facebook page. Sometimes I still get over to the old DK for a look around, though. Everyone one of Marko's Merry People are happy I stop in. =^].
But today I got a big idea. I'll start a series of diaries on DK about an idea sparked by Facebook (this link's particularly good).
So join me below the fold for today's installment. I have no idea how frequently these will appear so you'll need to stay on your toes.
'Kayso, one of my friends posted a picture of her little boy (@3 years old), and he was wearing a beautiful smile while climbing a tree. At least, that's what it looks like he was doing...I can't see beyond the picture's borders because life (yes, I found a link) is unfair. I'm pretty sure that, one day, technology will make it possible, though.
So I'm looking at this beautiful boy and trying to think of something equally as cute to say about the picture. But I long ago crossed a line and am now too much in this world so, instead of something quippy, I got a quote from a Jackson Browne song called How Long. The quote was
When you look into a child's face
And you're seeing the human race
And the endless possibilities there
Where so much can come true
And you think of the beautiful things
A child can do
It sounds like a very uplifting thing to say, right? Well, then you don't know
Jackson Browne. He's a depressing man. I got to then thinking about the entire song and knew I had to do a diary about it. See, I had to first see if there was a youtube vid that I could link to and it turns out that not only is there a vid but it's
EXTREMELLY GOOD.
We do our share of Obama bashing and it's fun to watch
The GOP's version of Keystone Cops run around making speeches but it's important that we stop and remember this:
Is anyone still asking themselves why this election is important?
