Food for Thought

Thought

A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon, and gas prices rise forty cents in the U.S.

Wow

I just finished reading a remarkable book, The Last Shot, by Darcy Frey. For me it was deja vu all over again, as it brought me back to my days as a high school basketball player. The pressure of playing against the top players in the country, of performing in front of top Division I coaches, knowing that if you fail at basketball you will end up in a life of drugs, living in horrible projects at a poverty level, praying that you will be able to score a 700 on your SAT - all of these things were the hallmark of my high school days.

I give it an 84 for its ability to mirror my life.

Crap

Damn you, Larry.

I thought that it was time to let this godforsaken blog die the pitiful death that it had earned, but then I started getting hits from CDFFL. So now I feel compelled to post something. Fine, here goes:

If you are visiting here from CDFFL, thank you for contributing money to what will surely be the Kevin Lund Victory Tour.

Now go away.

Haloscan commenting and trackback have been added to this blog.

What do I like?

In a comment to a previous post of mine, Scooter said, "I don't think I ever pictured you as a Green Day fan."

It made me wonder, what kind of music do you think I like? And that led, naturally, to the thought that there should be an exciting contest, where the few losers who look at my blog can guess at what are the most frequently played songs on my iPod. But a contest is meaningless without a prize, and so, to stoke your contemplations, I have come up with a reward that is priceless. To the person who makes the best guess I reward ... praise on a CDFFL recap. Yes, when Larry allows me to do a recap, I will have nothing but kind words for the lucky winner.

This is certainly the greatest thing anybody has ever seen on a Friday morning.

Great job, Larry!

You're excellent at PhotoShop, I'll give you that. I mean, this picture hardly has any flaws at all. Bravo!

Does this hurt his Hall of Fame chances?

ESPN.com - MLB - Palmeiro suspended for steroids, denies using them

Nice way to follow up the good publicity you received from joining the 3,000 hit club. "Palmeiro said he had accepted his punishment and could not explain how the steroids got into his body." Sure, I'll buy that. Probably some jealous teammate spiked his Coke. As the Green Goblin so eloquently put it, "the one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail." So true.

I swear to god, STAY AWAY!!
