Two blogs ago, I sarcastically remarked that I need to be careful with what I write here in virtual reality, as someone of importance might someday read the information which could theoretically have some effect on my actual life. Well, today that very circumstance occurred. It seems one of the residency programs to which I am applying noticed my e-mail address ended in tommyroshek.com and decided to check it out. Hopefully he or she got a kick out of the writings and enjoyed it as much as the rest of us do. We here at the mytommyroshek.com® family of webpages strive to produce the highest quality infotainment value for you the reader. And if you're a program director or residency coordinator, just think how much fun it would be to have a creative and articulate person (such as myself perhaps) at the office everyday. Gosh sure sounds like fun!
But in all seriousness, I've really enjoyed blogging my daily activities here in cyberspace. I think this medium provides an excellent opportunity for me to keep in touch with all of my friends around the world without me even knowing it. I think people thus far have enjoyed it, and I hope you will too. Thanks for stopping by and happy reading!
And now, here is today's fun fact, which applies to this blog entry:
Ironic (adj): Characterized by or constituting irony
Usage Note: The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply "coincidental" or "improbable," in that they suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly. Thus 78 percent of the Usage Panel rejects the use of ironically in the sentence "In 1969 Susie moved from Ithaca to California where she met her husband-to-be, who, ironically, also came from upstate New York." Some Panelists noted that this particular usage might be acceptable if Susie had in fact moved to California in order to find a husband, in which case the story could be taken as exemplifying the folly of supposing that we can know what fate has in store for us. By contrast, 73 percent accepted the sentence "Ironically, even as the government was fulminating against American policy, American jeans and videocassettes were the hottest items in the stalls of the market", where the incongruity can be seen as an example of human inconsistency.
