Watching a Slow Motion Train Wreck
Sometimes I feel like I'm the engineer of a train, but I'm also standing stuck on the tracks. As the engineer I know I can and should slow the train down, but I don't because it feels so good going so fast. As the person standing on the tracks, I know I should get off and get out the train's way, because its inevitably going to hit me. But I stay on, watching the headlight get larger and larger, telling myself I can step off at any time but I'll stay on just a second longer. And that headlight is really, really large, but my feet aren't moving, and the conductor isn't even blowing the whistle.

Just step aside and let the train run over that “blogles” person that just spammed you!
Spammers are such cretins!
Not that I've ever surfed but I was told once that "Life is like surfing, sometimes you're controlling the board and the wave, sometimes the board and the waves are controlling you. But the best you can ever do is hang on and hope for the best."
