Biggest problem in this country is parenting or lack thereof. That shit comes straight from home. Sickening.
very true but its enabled and emboldened by a sick group of individuals that perpetuate lies about law enforcement as vile and disgusting as it is for parents to puppet this bullshit its coming from the highest and loudest mouths of leadership
It's like I wrote this word-for-word, except the going to 10-15 games part since I'm not in SoCal. Used to feel like the Lakers, Dodgers, and Rams were my teams. Rams mostly lost me when they moved to St. Louis, but that also coincided with me becoming a fantasy football nut, so my annual roster of players replaced the Rams as "my" team. (Side note: this is why I won't do fantasy baseball). I was fanatical about the Showtime Lakers and still loved the team until the day Kobe retired, although as you say I could feel the NBA passing by me by towards the end of his career. When the announcement of Lebron's signing came, I knew I was finished with them. Took no pleasure it their one championship with him, and honestly, while it sickened me at first to see him in a Laker jersey, it no longer has any emotional response from me whatsoever. So I'm down to the Dodgers.
Same here. Just can't watch basketball anymore. Part of it is I can't enjoy the Lakers due to hatred of LeBron and Westbrook. Part of it is that I dislike that every play is a drive with an attempt to get fouled or 3-pt attempt. Part of it is social media has allowed us to see a little more clearly what most of the players/coaches are really like...and I find most of them annoying. Part of it is I probably got old.
As always ditto but 10 to 15 years before yall depending on the sport. I didnt even watch Kobes last few seasons. Writing on the wall when nba didnt give up chris paul. By that i mean it was like when i was little and realized how the wwf worked. Organized sports arent real. Neither are the olympic gods. Or the roman ceasars. But propaganda is. It is like the peanut shell you crush with your hands and then stomp with your feet. After you eat up all those salty nuts down your throat. But hey guys its almost pigskin season!
I do not watch much sports at all, even the Dodgers. Basketball is pretty much dead to me and football I do not give a shit about either - although I am much more likely to catch a quarter of football than that of basketball. Baseball is the sport I watch the most of and I couldn't even tell you the last time I caught a full inning of a game, I usually catch a half inning here and there - sometimes multiple half innings in a game but that is rare. I need to work, not watch other men work.
Won a month long weight loss challenge with a friend - we had a book on the line up to $60. I got The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany. It's a big mama jama (1,280 pages) that will likely take about two weeks or so but I'm excited to have it in my collection and to eventually read it.
Same story. I remember having raider pangs when they went to oakland for a few years before realizing thats whst simps longing for their ex gf do.
Just keep up with sports as if it was your favorite netflix show or soap opera. Fast forward past the boring parts. Or just as the nerd at the watee cooler. And when he finally stops talking just say go on and he will gladly tell you every detail of the game.
The family drama is at an all time high. I had to do some greek style judo sumo wrestling to not blow my cover. But my pancrease does need a couple days to recover.

Was reading Spiral Dynamics but that shit was putting me to sleep and I just got my copy of Abouy Face: The Odessy of an American Warrior so I decided to put down Spiral Dynamics and pick up About Face. Holy hell this book is starting strong. I get the the feeling this book is going to leap to my favorite book once I'm finished.
he's got a limp lol funny enough while i'm drooling all over my face and pretending its all cool he started talking to me about buying beach property in CR and apologizing for what he was doing told me he had 3 cavities and a crown he'd need done before retiring and moving south so i said i'd try to help him out on that as well if he wanted to switch places freaking tools are so barbaric
"Colonel Sloan had walked alone to meet us on Hill 400's forward slopes. he, too, ignored the incoming as he went from Raider to Raider, helping, comforting, praising. Tears streamed from his eyes in that early-morning light as he helped us down. He led us to the aid station, and there I saw seven figures, all lined up, each covered with a poncho. It's just a nightmare, I thought, but I didn't believe myself at all. I went to each body, and pulled the sheet back off the face. One by one I cradled those men and rocked them in my arms, crying and mumbling and damning God because he had let me down." - About Face p.189 Couldn't help but shed some tears at this part. It is easy to forget, especially with somebody like me who has never lived that life, that these are not stories, these are real men and real events.
