Due to various time constraints, which include watching sit-com reruns on TV; obsessively following the Red Sox (while strangely free from the knowledge that they will continue to break my heart); maintaining a photo blog, watching the back yard for garter snakes; walking to and from my temp job; looking for full time work, chit-chatting with neighbors about such topics as the weather, the aforementioned Red Sox, and the sorry state of my yard; searching high and low for examples of onomatopoeia; attempting to commit both the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" to memory in one confused epic poem known as the "Ilyssey;" spending time with my wife; trying to find a country that is working to impoverish uranium; contemplating the following philosophical questions: Is hanging one's towel incorrectly morally wrong or just sloppy? Since science has proven that the earth was created by means that deviate greatly from those described in Genesis, does that mean that the Bible is an early instance of poor reporting based on unreliable sources? If we had six fingers per hand, would Martin Luther have nailed 119 theses instead of 99? Are Terrel Owens' issues with the Philadelphia Eagles the beginning of the end for the NFL?; beginning a voice re-education workshop for males born in Eastern Massachusetts; waiting for the prophecy to be revealed; preparing a book length essay on how the Harry Potter novels will lead directly to cult; and because it flat-out does not pay for the bills, the thrills, the pills that kill Verbal Jazz will no longer be writing a periodic newsletter.
Verbal Jazz apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. Our goal in beginning the Verbal Jazz newsletter was to keep you, the public as misinformed as possible as to the state of world affairs. We have been successful in achieving that goal. Reading Verbal Jazz has not likely made you smarter, kinder or braver. Rather, we hope, that reading Verbal Jazz has made you more shallow, crass and unconcerned about the human environment. Those are skills that will carry you through life!
The end of the Verbal Jazz newsletter is not the end of Verbal Jazz. Do stop by for more ill informed updates on world events. Click to see a new daily photo on "Verbal Jazz Goes Visual." Drop a line whenever you feel the void of the Verbal Jazz newsletter in your life. In short: do not be a stranger.
I'd like to thank those of you on the newsletter list for your continued support. You rock!
Sincerely,
Chris Vallancourt |
