If...

If I were a woman I would own about a 1000 pair of shoes.

And would probably lease the rest...

NBA Tonight

NBA DEBUTS TONIGHT!!!

Oh how I wish I could be excited. I grew up in the Magic-Bird era with a some guy named Jordan coming into his prime right behind them.

I know we all think our era is the greatest at everything. But 1980s NBA basketball has to be up there.

I just think today's NBA has too many average players who make a ton of money for doing average to below average things. Only a few guys in their primes as of right NOW could compete at a high level in any era. Remember when I say they are in their prime right now. Kobe, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett or past their primes.

Lebron James.
Carmelo Anthony
Derek Rose
James Harden
Tony Parker
Kevin Durant
Russell Westbrook
Chris Paul

And NO I did not forget Chris Bosch and Blake Griffin.

TLC

OMG was the TLC movie good.

I loved T-Boz.

Goran

I'm watching a little Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

Robert Goran is by far my favorite detective off all time.

Twitter

If I were the coach of a college program I would not allow players to comment on team related issues on their twitter accounts.

As a pro coach I would actively discourage it.

Twitter is a dangerous outlet at the fingertips of somehow who loves to hear the sound of their own voice (or the clicks of keyboard).

Back to Life

Rangers-Caps
Flames-Ducks

I'm going to sit back, truly relax (meaning no computer), and enjoy these NHL games tonight. I haven't truly been able to concentrate on anything else thanks to the crisis in the news over the past few weeks.

I can't wait.

Venting

I'm not old enough to have experienced the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 though I've seen a movie or documentary or two on the subject. I could only guess at the fear that Americans felt during the weeks of the standoff facing a nuclear holocaust.

I was in my teens in the 1980's when the movie "The Day After" aired. The plot was about a nuclear confrontation between The United States and the now defunct Soviet Union. What was truly frightening to my adolescent mind, was the fear entrenched on the character's faces as the fictional chain of events unraveled until the missiles were finally launched. I had never been so disturbed by what I was seeing...so scared for my life and those who I loved and cared about as I was in the days after that movie's airing.

Not until the past week.

The fear entrenched on the character's faces in that movie mirrored my own.

However any of us may lean politically, doesn't everyone agree that there is something wrong to engage in mutually agreed destruction (the debt ceiling) only to pull during the last hours.

I don't have ALL the answers. I don't have ANY of the answers.

I just don't want to experience these feelings of frustration, helplessness, and most of all...dread that I have.

I just needed to vent. Thanks
