Now that that's out of the way let me tell you about my blog. "That's how they get you" is the kind of phrase that encompasses so many moments in life. You know how some days you wake up and it just seems like, okay, what awful thing is gonna happen today?

You wait for it, and bam, you get a tweet that your favorite childhood star just died of a drug overdose while you're stuck in traffic on your way to a job interview, which you inevitably bomb because you're late and still in shock over the death of your idol and simultaneous realization that your childhood has officially ended.

Then you go to the doctor and boom. Cancer.

But let me be general, because this site is all about generalities, thtgy describes the notion that something just isn't right with the world. It's the feeling you get when you discover an unfortunate event, disappointing result, or ironic twist, like when Palin says Obama's health care plan proposes death panels, and a good portion of the country believes it.

But on the lighter side of misfortune in the news and the shallow rubbish that we call entertainment media is the irony, absurdity and just plain humor of it all. For lack of a simpler explanation, I guess that's what this site is about.

Recognizing that definition can apply to practically anything, I warn you the posts here may get a bit random. But, thtgy.
