It's All For Sh!ts and Giggles
"A life is not important unless it impacts other lives."
-Jackie Robinson
Blogland.......HELLO! I added the title bar to my posts, hopefully y'all like it. And if you don't....who cares! I find that alot of stuff comes to me while I am driving. This must mean that people are just garbage drivers, and they really reveal stuff about themselves with how they drive....
...there are so many types of drivers. You have the aggressive driver. Dude always has to be in front of you. This is the guy who always pulls up on your bumper, when you have no where to go, and then goes flying by you. You will recognize him when you are both sitting at the same red light two streets up. And then dude takes off, and you saunter up to him at the next light. Sir, OPEC thanks you. And the worst is the slow driver. Man, these people. They all have in state plates, but they insist on going sight seeing everywhere. Dude, haven't you seen this stuff before? You are 30 miles under the speed limit. Take a picture, it last longer. Damn!
Short white guys. You see these guys in any sport, and you can immediately identify their role. It is the most consistent thing in all of sports. Basketball? Gritty three point shooter. Baseball? Slap hitting second baseman. Football? Possession receiver. Hockey? Hard nosed winger. So damn predictable. And two things you can always count on: little whities never drop a pass, and all little whities can hit the three. It's a given! Have you ever watched a college hoops game, and the a 5'8 white guy comes in. You know for a fact he is in there to hit three pointers. That's it, no other job. That guy can shoot. Period.
There are things in this world you just dont see. Not a lot of fat gay people. Not a lot of sluggish crack heads. Not alot of red headed Koreans.
Natural causes. Not the way I want to go. I figure, if I can make it to 80, 85, I want to go out in a blaze of glory. Who wants to die surrounded by family, waiting to go, letting nature take its course? Not me! On my 85th birthday, Im getting ripped on whisky, eating a plate of Big Macs, and then taking a motorcycle of a cliff. Can you imagine how great that would be? My grandson, talking to his buddy. Yeah, Im sad today, Grandpa T died. Oh man, how did it happen? Oh, he drove a Harley off a cliff into the Pacific. And filmed it. And it was AWESOME!
Speakin of dying, Im not sold on this mouth to mouth thing. I figure, that is as good a reason to shave every morning, put on a clean shirt, keep your haircut. Always look your best. Cause Ill tell you what, if I see a fat slob, unshaven, slobbering, half dead on the street, and someone yells, "He needs mouth to mouth!", well, Im not sure your gonna make it, kid. You know, the beautiful people will live forever. You look good, anyone will help you out. Its like, hey bro, you hear Jennifer Aniston needs a kidney? You'll offer two, and 1 from your brother. She'll have kidneys stacked up in her hospital room like tax forms at H&R Block. She'll be sellin extras on Ebay. Meanwhile, you hear that Joe the bus driver with the glass eye and the C cup breasts needs a kidney? Well, we all gotta go sometime.
Maybe we are a bankrupt culture. Maybe growing up on sit coms has messed up our generation. I think about it, and the older people of today, they reminisce on the rock and roll 50's, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the Beatles. They have the pioneers of music to look back on. Meanwhile, people like me wax poetically about Bananarama and the theme from Greatest American Hero.
Then, on the other hand, TV is a great educational tool. What once took weeks to learn from books, can be taught to a person of average intelligence over the course of a day. Think about it. Someone comes up to you, talking about, no one reads anymore! What happened to books! It is a true journey to read a book.....just today, I went on an adventure with Huck Finn! Um, wow, Huck Finn huh? I, uh, watched that story, learned how to re-tile my bathroom, studied the cause of World War II from first person accounts, found out how they built the World Trade Center and why it collapsed, and learned where Milk Duds come from. In the meantime, you can mix in an epsode of Seinfeld. To me, TV is invaluable, and I truly owe alot of my useless knowledge to it. Seriously, how many times do you say something, and say, yeah, I saw that somewhere. TV teaches. It isnt the "idiot box" anymore. With cable and all these learning channels, I wouldnt be surprised if it became the source of all education some day, totally replacing, or at least supplementing, the school system. No doubt.
Aight, Im out......Tournament Do's and Don'ts for your brackets coming later.....
