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.
My father was fighting the Japanese in the Philippines when he was 18. I was trying to scrape up $1.35 for a six pack at that age. Can't imagine how that experience affects the rest of your life.
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME Finally after more than a century, Bright Path, aka Jim Thorpe, had his medals reinstated that he won at the Olympics. In a world where the most abhorrent and selflish behaviors is constantly overlooked, a true American who was called the "greatest athlete in the world" by the king of Sweden, gets what has been kept from him ( and his family) is made right. At least to the measure possible it can be when the deserving recipient has been gone for generations. Personally, one of the things I loved most about Jim was his reply to the Swedish monarch, which was, " Thanks, King". You just can't top that... "It is a good day to die"!
You got that right. First there are giants. Then there are dwarves. Before the time of elfin. When we all become human.
My British grandfather fought in WW I ,too. Went throught the training, fought in the first big battle against the Germans in 1914, and got gassed. Burned most of the lining of his lungs out, was discharged, and spent tne rest of his life trying to put together a stable period where he could work to support his family...died in his early 50's. A story similar to so many others back then, especially in England. And now, so much fury by so many in comparison, who think it's all owed to them to have a prosperous life. Always the loudest discontent from a non combatant.
