"...Sometimes these are the only questions we're allowed to ask. Am I merely to wallow in just how much life is nasty, brutish and hilariously short? Am I never to go outside lest I be attacked by angry pigeons with nail guns and rabid bird flu? Is my car being broken into and are rabid cancer cells attacking my colon as I read this very sentence? Because, Christ on a pogo stick, some days it sure seems like it."
One of the reasons I don't watch news... the other being that I like to maintain a semblance of blissful ignorance and worldly nonchalance. These things can't intrude into my life if I refuse to acknowledge their existence, however this author has such a keen grasp of the little kernel of things. I laughed out loud when I read this bit and I think it probably lengthened my life by a nanoyear (and they do add up, ya know).
