I know this might sound a bit mad, batty even, but the rumors are true: I am crazy about stunning brunettes who like dogs. For those outrageous reasons ]:<
A bit of old school 
No, this isn't a still from some bad action film. Here, I'll let National Geographic explain what's going on in this photo from their June 1976 issue:
Buffeted by crosswinds, a rescue plane crashes into a truck, while trying to land on a mountain highway near Sanarate. Miraculously no one suffered serious injury.

[The trial of hedge fund billionaire Raj Rajaratnam charged with insider trading began. An exciting moment for all except for Juror number 18 who fell asleep and causing "giggles [to] emanate from the gaggle of reporters sitting close by." Juror number 18 also has a nickname: Hipster Juror.
Juror No. 18 stands out from the rest of the panel. Most of the jury is in the 50-year-old range, and the majority are either black or Hispanic. Juror No. 18 is a 35-year-old unemployed Manhattan resident with a bachelor’s degree in English. Sporting a scruffy beard, ironic glasses and a track-suit jacket, he is most definitely the trial’s Hipster Juror.And Hipster Juror also delivered the best line of jury selection. Explaining how he spent his time since he became unemployed, he said he watched poker shows on TV and played video games. Oh, and “when we can get our drummer situation worked out, I’m in a band.”
Except for the fact he doesn't live in Brooklyn...not a stereotype at all.
Right, so I'll just dive right in. I'm quitting the Internet. Joke. I'm not Julia Allison. And the Internet helps pay my bills. I can't quit you, Internet! That said I need your advice, readers. I've been blogging regularly since 2003 and here on Wordpress since 2006. I've loved every Internet minute of it. Its led to friends and even job opportunities. The majority of my blogging attention has been for the Sundance Channel's blog Sunfiltered for which I've been contributing on a daily basis since they launched in the Spring of 2009.
My blog's content has meandered through different areas and topics over the years and for the first time since 2003 I feel a bit adrift with my efforts here.
So my question for you all: What do you want to see this blog become? What sort of content do you enjoy the most? Do I have something stuck between my teeth?
Update: Thanks for the feedback everyone. It was great to hear from new and familiar readers. Your well thought out comments were an interesting read for me. I look forward to devoting this blog to solely about cats and omg how cute they are.

Answer: You would be wealthy. When I started college in the Fall of 1998 a lot of my fellow classmates had the new Powerbook G3 laptop which retailed at $2799. If those students instead purchased $2799 worth of Apple stock back then, they would today be $88,869 richer.
