Won Over By Reality

Tim BayerBRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—1/27/2014—I’m coming absolutely clean here. When I saw the video below, it first made me laugh (and then feel guilty for laughing). Then, I watched it again (and laughed again: I couldn’t help myself).

For those who missed my last post, “Singing at the Station” is footage that’s just pure fun to watch, and re-watch. You can smile and chuckle, with no strings attached.

In my defense as regards the footage this week: I have owned both cats and dogs, and seen both species walk away from various “incidents,” completely unfazed. Hence, even though the audio implies otherwise, I believe all participants here were un-traumatized as well.

The fact that I felt a little guilty for my initial, spontaneous laugh reflex is proof (to me) that my capacity for empathy is alive and well. That’s my (guilty) story . . . and I’m sticking to it.

(If you, yourselves, come across an entertaining link or video, I’d be interested in seeing it, and sharing it with my readers at Weekly Hubris. Please contact me at: Email: [email protected].)

Winter Driving Training In 3 Steps

Tim Bayer, Webmaster, and Assistant Editor of Weekly Hubris, was born and brought up in Webster, New York. He attended St. Bonaventure University, earning a BS in Computer Science, and then worked in the hi-tech world. In 2002 he turned his creative energies to product development and video production with the release of his first independently produced products. When the demand for web site design and freelance writing increased, he once again switched skill sets . . . to writing and web work. An avid or, to be more accurate, rabid, disc golfer, he may often be found chasing plastic while in pursuit of the perfect round on a disc golf course, or designing and developing disc golf products for Demogrid.com. He says he tries to find the humor hidden in everyday experiences, because, “life is too important to be taken seriously.” (Author photo by Tim Bayer. Author Head Shot Augment: René Laanen.)
