You're All Winners!!!

Time Magazine revealed it's annual Person of the Year issue with a reflective cover. The magazine is trying to keep up with the novelty magazine industry, the kind you find at theme parks studios where you can get your own picture on a magazine.


It looks like Time is finally afraid of choosing anyone lackluster, like from the Executive Branch of our government (although Bush was chosen in 2000 and 2004) or too controversial (they chose Hitler in 1938 and "Good Samaritans" Bono and Bill & Melinda Gates last year).

Too me it's just the easy way out for a dull media format. Time and Newsweek are irrelevant now that blurb news is available as close as a computer. These magazines rarely have anything of interest beyond colorful maps and graphs in some articles. It looks like they just want to broaden their readership to anyone who likes to look at their own reflection.

Gliding Along

I know it's been nearly two weeks since I've posted, but I've got nothing to say. Many ups, many downs, and even more gliding alongs...

Tomorrow I head back into the New York for an 11 hour shift of some sort of job. It'll be good to be in the city again. I love that place.

By the way, I saw Joan Jett on Conan tonight. She had some serious plastic surgery, I think. That just kind of destroys her credibility for me. Pity.

Finally, this protection of the rain forest is good, but not good enough. Read on...
