I noticed that most of my comments on St. Obvious's blogs have a general theme to them which is me saying something like, "Very funny, yet sad and true." This causes me great pause (which of course means 10 minutes of heavy thinking in a fast-paced world such as ours) because I feel that maybe bad things should get more from me than a chuckle. Camus said "Life is absurd." I wonder what he'd say if he could only see it now, especially with things like Japanese game shows or Fox News. Maybe he would modify his words to something like "Life is fucking bat shit crazy, get me the hell outta here even though I'm not Janice Dickinson, Lou Diamond Phillips, or any other D-list celebrity!" Would he still imagine Sysiphus happy?

*I do not really believe that Jimmy Buffett is a great philosopher...
