I Disappoint Myself Sometimes

For some reason people love to gawk at train wrecks. Sometimes those train wrecks involve real rail cars and sometimes they are more metaphorical train wrecks. I know we all have the tendency to stop what we're doing and pay attention to these train wrecks, especially the metaphorical ones. In fact, I'd say the majority of the US media is dependent upon metaphorical train wrecks for their daily copy. for some reason fascination with metaphorical train wrecks bug me and I try to ignore them as much as possible. I failed in that effort this morning.

The Metaphorical Rail Car du Jour is Brittney Spears being carted off to the hospital in the middle of the night. I saw the headline on CNN and clicked the link before I could do anything about it. DAMNIT!!!!

I hate when I do that.
