Tod Maffin and The End of the Age of Delusion



and now, a brief twitter from Tod Maffin





It's been a sweet ride for Tod Maffin.
He got to hang with netchick and The Hez, fly on airplanes and stay in hotel rooms, with all his toiletries and grooming aids laid out neatly on the dresser each time ...

actually, Tod's not really a neat freak. He's obsessive and a perfectionist about some things, but housekeeping isn't one of them, as anyone knows who's seen his apartment.

This is Tod Maffin and another desperate plea for attention.
Tod isn't really planning to go anywhere, except on vacation. (those comedic breakfast gigs he does pay surprisingly well).

But he wants you to know that Tod Maffin thinks exotically, unlike you and I.
Well, alright, more so.
He's an adventurer, flying into the heart of Africa, where no white man could be bothered to go, and he will teach the natives in The Ways Of The Radio.
Presumably for a bit less than the usual two to four thousand dollars per gig that he usually is handed at the conferences.

Tod sees some advantages to going - it'll help his charisma further down the road when he comes back in one piece as a man of the world. As an altruist, nay a missionary, if you will.
Yes he can picture it now ... the selfless Maffin helping to further the progress of civilization.
And hiding out for a while might get that blog off his back.

But this is Tod Maffin. He doesn't actually do anything beyond the whiny wimp stage, such as twitter his fake dreams out loud.

No comments:

What's your problem?

Tod Maffin's version of absolute power.
I wrote a comment at a famous blog.
Tod didn't like it, and took the intial steps of legal action to have it removed.
He was successful.

It made me an unhappy camper.
And I happen to really like it here.
