"No news is good news." - common saying that doesn't always apply. There are definitely times when you're sitting around waiting, waiting, waiting for someone to call you, or something to happen, and it just doesn't. It's always worse waiting for something to happen because as each second ticks by, you know there's less chance that thing is going to happen. Consider the opposite: You don't want any news. You wait it out, and each minute is more hope, the sun gets brighter every second until you get through the clouds. Huzzah.
Here are examples o "no news is bad news":
1. when you're unemployed. When you're waiting for a job, you want things to be happening, things to be in motion, possibilities to open up. Even if you don't get something, at least you tried, and there is hope. Stagnance is devastating.
2. hoping for a date. Waiting for the girl/target of your affections to call you back. Ooo boy.
3. when you own Jimmy Rollins in a fantasy league. Seeing as he's ALWAYS injured, no news on his recovery means he'll be injured for a while.
4. Waiting to be called to your table at a restaurant. The famous Seinfeld "Chinese restaurant" episode comes to mind. You're already hungry, you're becoming testier from being hungry, you want food, no one's leaving their tables, dang it!!!!
5. When on Standby for a flight at the airport. Explains yourself. Has anyone in the history of flights ever taken that "We're overbooked so we're offering you free hotel accommodations" deal?
Anyway. Just a rant. Hopefully Monday brings some news for "this guy," Da Man.
Fantasize on,
Robert Yan
