Maybe it’s just me, but it seems a little
self-indulgent for someone to write an article about how they are GOING to climb a mountain, or GOING to embark on a
trip. I mean, anyone can say that, and then write in giddy glee how this is the trip of a lifetime, and how you’ve
ALWAYS wanted to do such and such.
And so it goes in this
piece over at MSNBC. You see, after seeing an IMAX film about KIli, he decides he absolutely has to go, and so what
we get is 1000 words about how he’s planning the trip and plotting everyday with the help of some outfitter and blah
blah blah. Hold off on the writing until you go already. Sheesh.
