a cautionary tale

a quick post before heading out to meet the girls for an extravagant meal (more on that later) - i've been catching up on my paul carr reading and can i tell you, it's always entertaining. 


a bit about why i enjoy reading paul carr's effusive blathering, and it's completely self-serving: i feel like he is a male, recovering alcoholic version of me, if i were british and getting paid to write columns about absolutely nothing for such piddly news providers as tech crunch and the guardian.


i also like that he hails from the old school of journalism, meaning he's attached to things like accuracy and says that people should read the news because its important, but finds nothing wrong about writing about absolute, utter pointlessness. i like that in a person i've never met. i like reading brutally honest takes on his dating life and getting fired from every job he's ever had and probably a bit too much about his alcoholism.


that said, off i go.
