In
light of the darkness brought about by what was “Hurricane Sandy”, or “Frankenstorm”,
or whatever you wish to call it, I am
overwhelmed by the gravity of the climatological catastrophe that will no doubt
forever change the landscape of the Northeast United States. But I also subscribe to that old saying: “If
I don’t laugh, I’m just gonna sit right down and cry.”
Besides,
one could make the argument that especially in the dark, levity does provide
some light. I myself am no stranger to that concept, choosing to use humor as a
defense mechanism in the face of strife. (Of course that may be why those
around me say I have a sick sense of humor sometimes, too.)
I’ve
been seeing all these ‘fake’ photos circulating around the web, allegedly
showing scenes of sharks swimming through a neighborhood street or water
washing waist high on the Statue of Liberty and they got me to thinking… I
know, I know about time right?! Anywho… thinking… makes you think - those make
about as much sense as the meteorologists standing knee deep in water,
struggling against 40 mph wind gusts all the while reading cue cards telling us
“If you’re in this area GET OUT”. Umm…
They call them cue cards for a reason people!
Oh,
and speaking of cue cards (you knew I was gonna head my horse down this trail
at some point didn’t you) wouldn’t they be convenient to have on a date! I’ve
been in more than a few situations in the past when they would’ve come in downright
handy. For instance, the time I agreed to go on a date with a guy that I met at
the auto parts store only to find out he didn’t have a car. Non-driving auto
guy - How’s that for an oxymoron… or just plain moron? Anyway, I sure could’ve
used a cue card to get me out of that one.
Anyway, in all sincerity,
to all those on the East Coast, my thoughts and prayers go out for you. I hope
for you the ability to see that yesterday’s landscape is now perhaps tomorrow’s
canvas and that your heart and your strength are able to guide your brush.
