Ripped From the Headlines

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that it’s every boy’s dream to one day end up in the society pages. To be included with those regal personages oozing glitz and glamour, to be privy, nay included in a world most rarely see let alone travel. A culture above such pedantic creations like paninis and the Oxygen network, where barons and celebrities co-mingle, raising funds for children and other ailments of society, or just blowing off steam after a hard day of sailing. These are the important people, the beautiful people, all festooned with baubles and smelling of brandy and expensive woods. You think, “If only some day I could have this sort of impact on the world. To have the money, the power, the influence to affect change – to be noticed and truly appreciated. Yes, if my moment ever arrives, I will be ready. I will embrace it, and I will let the world know that I, Daniel Murphy, grew up to be somebody.”
