"That which does not kill me, only makes me stronger."

I'm not dead. I am still here, so perhaps I am going to make it. Hopefully, at the end of this tunnel, that light I see is the beautiful smile of my one true love.

I don't understand why ties are different lengths. It takes me like 4 tries every morning to get that thing just right. For those who don't know, the bottom of your tie should hang halfway between the top and bottom of your belt buckle. (If you are wearing a tie without a belt on, well, you are a dork.......or one of the Cosby kids) Anyways, I understand that people are different heights, but I need a basic idea of where to start tying. One tie ends up an inch long, and the next one ends up dragging on the ground.

So LeBron James is going to play int he Rookie Game, but will skip the Dunk Contest because of his bad ankle. Is it me, or is that just stupid? I hate it when basketball players say they won't be in the dunk contest because some small injury was bothering them, and they dont want to risk any regular season games. What a load of crap! So why play in the Rookie Game? Why play in any game without being totally healthy? Why not just retire, because that "worry" will always be there? I grow very tired of public figures (athletes, politicians, etc.) lying to me, and I'm supposed to ignore it. Like Judge Judy says, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

My friend Billy is Chinese. My friend Jin is Korean. So how can there be a Chinese rapper whose name is Jin? That seems weird to me.

Ok, I only watch American Idol to see people who suck, that is established. But these people are the best entertainment. So, how do we let them get away? Have you seen this guy, William Hung, who sang "She Bangs" so poorly, I felt bad for laughing at the guy. But at the same time, this guy needs his own show. What a hilarious display he put on. So let's take all the crappy performers from the auditions, and put them in their own show. See which of the crappy singers is the best. Wouldn't you rather watch the Like a Virgin guy from last year and William go head to head? We could make it like the Gong Show, and we could make it so they pick a song out of a hat, learn it, then perform it. Full outfits, their own coreography. Man, I am on to something. Train Wreck TV, man. When can call it, American Cry For Help.

Quick tip: If you are looking for the quickest way to get somewhere, ask the one-legged man. Because he will always give you the fastest route there. You won't be jumping over ditches or climbing fences. We are talking A to B, easiest way.

A recent ESPN story was online about a minor league baseball player from Japan who had made a gay porn in college. It quoted the player, who claims to not be gay, as saying he felt his inclusion in the video was a "mistake." Ladies and gentlemen, the 2004 winner of Understatement of the Century!

Ok, I dont have much else. It's be a rough couple of days, but hopefully things will get better. Fear not, for me, my peoples. I will come out of this ok, and God willing, a better man, a better husband. In the meantime, school is number one. See you all in court.



"Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

I don't know what half-wit wrote that crap, but nothing could be farther from the truth. I am happy to give advice when asked, but normally, I don't give unsolicited opinion. I will now, because I am learning first hand. If you get married, don't live apart, for ANY REASON. You know, it really bothers me that these women whose husbands are in the service tell people how much they love and miss their men while they are gone for years at a time. Meanwhile, I am here at school, and my wife is in Dallas. Over time, she has grown apart from me, and is now questioning our relationship. I just wonder how things like this can happen. She says that I am an amazing person, and I deserve a wife who can be more loving (at least more loving than she feels at this time), then at the same time, I am telling her that I will work through any issue with her. Am I crazy, or would any person on earth, who felt another person was amazing, and that other person pledged their undying love, wouldnt any person take that in a heartbeat? It seems to me to be an ideal situation. I think I am done worrying about this. What will be, will be. I have to give her her space, and hope that things work out. My faith is in God, and the power of true love. Wherever you are, MaryBeth, I hope you know that I consider you my one and only, and I will always be here for you.
