internet,cynicism. it's the affliction of our generation, a personal affliction of mine, and it is an absolutely useless trait. Conan took the time to stomp on cynicism during the last few minutes of his final night as host of the Tonight Show. <br /><br />"All I ask of you is one thing(and I'm asking this particularly of young people that watch): please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen."<br /><br />wow. i felt like he was talking straight to me. and then i thought this whole mess with NBC might be good, not just for Conan, but for every young person who tuned in and heard his appeal.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06298985241647407175noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326245138752523197.post-73054153651307676322010-01-22T09:14:00.000-08:002010-01-22T17:24:35.305-08:00sew,

i like wyoming. it's not that bad of a place. even evanston isn't that bad. the people aren't super-nice, like in the south, but they aren't a-holes like certain people in certain towns in idaho can be. they seem to be used to transients. and everyone in evanston seems to know each other even though it is a sizable town (relatively speaking). when i was in wal-mart (i am boycotting them, i swear. just as soon as it's convenient for me to do so.) there were people that knew the employees well and struck up conversations. this happened four different times whilst i was in wal-mart. i also like how there is a liquor store on every street. and that they are all drive-thru liquor stores. we went for a drive and came upon a town (population 150) and there were three liquor stores in the town. i thought that shit was hilarious. the state really is buck wild (relatively speaking)and there is something refreshing about that. i didn't get any liquor store pix. or fast food pix. or broke down trailer pix. (some documentarian i am.) here it is: <br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3661/3657100533_a326e1ca3b.jpg"><br /><br /><img

fine timememorial weekend was fun. i think this is the first memorial weekend i have ever spent in a truly American fashion.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/therussiansarehere/3555704462/"

/></a> <br />friday, chris got off early (which never happens). then, tyler came over early in the afternoon and so did uncle chrih. we hung out in the the yard blasting tunes and dancing with madeleine. we stayed up and conversated into the wee hours. <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/therussiansarehere/3554902577/" title="%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^ by the russians are here, on

sleeping a half an hour in to the drive and we just took the prehistoric landscape in. tyler was a great guide, he knew the names of the ranches along the way and every cool spot and even the types of clouds in the sky and what sort of weather they signaled. <br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/therussiansarehere/3560339997/" title="Untitled by the russians are here, on Flickr"><img

i wonder why that is? why humans love that sort of solitude? you know, that solitude that can only be found in the middle of a dessert while looking at far off, distant horizons? especially, when you have a smart phone enabled with gps, a 4-wheel drive vehicle, plenty of water, your loved ones, and a digital camera. ahhhh! it is a good feeling, indeed.<br /><br /><br />then we reached the bombing range. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/therussiansarehere/3560277875/" title="Untitled by the russians are here, on Flickr"><img

perfectly. <br /><br />then on to the mountains.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/therussiansarehere/3560386077/" title="Untitled by the russians are here, on Flickr"><img

be as wonderful as the landscape and i and everyone else was terrible disappointed. we couldn't get out of the town fast enough. terrible food, drunken folks driving ATV's, etc. <br /><br /><a

creepy mountain town. i wish i could share more pix, but flickr is won't let me upload any pix today (probably becuase there are so many assholes uploading pix from their drunken memorial day weekend). <br />i am not like them though-- i am me. so i am different than others. <br /><br />as always, sorry for my poor grammar, my anti-semantics, and missing words (usually i leave out the
