Yes, I am up awfully early.....

Some days it just happens like that.
Actually, a lot more lately since I had to throttle back my drinking habits.

Re: how Coach Kelly can win over the fanbase

I don’t think he can do anything in 2012 to convince me
Even if we go 13-0 and win it all I still will enter the 2013 season not trusting he is the real deal.

News flash: Rich people are fucking CRAZY.

I met quite a few between my first two jobs and they were uniformly nuts. One exception was the guy who started and ran his own platinum mining business, he was pretty cool.

Wouldn't it be a better generalization

to say that rich people who had it handed to them are crazy, but rich people who earned it for themselves are pretty well grounded?

For example, it would be hard to be Paris Hilton-crazy and build a world empire of high-class hotels.

I saw an exhibit featuring correspondence between Frank Lloyd Wright and Stanley Marcus

It only had Wright’s responses to Marcus, because those were in Marcus’ possession. Marcus had hired Wright to build him a house here in Dallas, and they both engaged in hilarious bickering couched in the style of 80 years ago (“Regarding yours of Nov. 14, do you doubt my good honor when I provide for your review the current price of teak?”). They both came off as crazy, self-important bastards, and they were both self-made. Would have been a cool house though, but it never got made – thanks to their squabbling.

Many of the ones who earned it themselves are crazy too, but a different kind of crazy

You see very high incidences of narcissistic- or histrionic- personality disorder, OCD, and bipolar disorder among the self-made millionaires. The rates are exceptionally high among Fortune 500 CEOs. The reason? Well, except for cases of blind luck, it takes an incredible willpower and ambition to be one of those people, a drive many people don’t have. Most have no problems and simply have rare strengths and desires. But for many others, it comes from underlying mental issues.

Because a largish person is putting his full weight on it — yeah, I’d say that’s “hanging on the rim.”

The other non-FB schools got to vote on the contract as well, so we voted.

Hell, we had more of a right to vote than the other non-FB schools, since we agreed to play 2-3 Big East teams a season in order to help boost the Big East’s negotiating power.

Did Father Jenkins have some kind of mysterious veto power over the contract? No? Then stop blaming ND when the entire fucking conference voted against it.

If one's preferred outdoor environment

is 85-90F with about 60-70%RH, then no, Oregon is not “the best.”

For full disclosure, I grew up camping in the snow (and by “camping” I mean pitching a tent and sleeping in a sleeping bag on the ground) in the Boy Scouts, sledding, ice skating and skiing in winter.

When I achieved adulthood I became aware that these were very cold pastimes, and something one did only to remain active through the winter months. Far better is to LEAVE the winter months and go where one can do the fun warm things like sailing and sitting on the beach ALL THE TIME.

Not for St. Patrick's Day as celebrated in the United States.

Which is “wear green, pretend to talk like an Irish person, and drink a ton of Guinness”.

Similar to Cinco de Mayo as celebrated in the United States, which is “say a few words in broken Spanish and drink a ton of Corona”.

GQ named Louisville the manliest city in America
Yeah, yeah, Chicago has broader shoulders. But when it comes to the masculine arts — bourbon, baseball, bettin’ the ponies — good luck topping Louisville. And don’t worry, the city’s not just coasting on its history. Lou-uh-vul strikes a balance between the traditions for which it’s justly famous and a right-now vibe that gives the town and its 750,000 residents a kind of courtly swagger.

The “country swagger” comment proves that no one from GQ has ever been to Louisville before.

True.

It would hurt ND more on the west side of the state, where public school lacrosse is more of a thing. Out here in the Detroit area, it’s all about the Catholic schools where ND is always going to have some sway.

but the expansion should happen soon enough, one would hope. Lacrosse has the advantage of being a spring sport, thus not competing with much besides baseball. Would expect it to get good in the south eventually.

Cool starry bra time:

Two of my friends who went to the ball with us last night went to a bar after, and one of them had her purse stolen. She was the one driving so they took her keys, phone, wallet, everything. The girls and the two guys they were hanging out with ran all over downtown in the wee hours of the morning tracking her phone, gave up about 6 am and went with the guys to their cousin’s house where they slept in a child’s bedroom. They came and got my car and spent all day navigating Joe Cain crowds/traffic going to all the gas stations where the credit cards were used, looking for the purse, phone, etc. They managed to find her ID and cancelled debit card. I just spent 30 minutes navigating parade traffic to get them as close to the Civic Center as possible so they could meet a locksmith and a tow truck at their car to get it towed to the car dealership so they can make her a new key. Meanwhile they’re wearing t-shirts borrowed from me, carrying their dresses, and generally looking like crazy shackers. I don’t think the one whose purse got stolen will be coming back to Mardi Gras.

Yeah, this kind of injury is a pain because you really need to be patient.

Plantar fascia is running on the bottom on your foot(your whole body weight over it), sometimes a tiniest stress fracture can irritate it and you have all the inflammation and pain. So whenever you can just rest, feet up, ice around your Achilles tendon and heel, and stretch frequently.

In the KJV,

“He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

But just like how in Latin, Jehovah begins with an I!, I’m sure it’s something different in German. But finding the German would make it pretty damn cool.

"I used to think all Jesus did was walk on water and tell people not to get abortions, but now I see he’s so much more than that. He’s like E.T., Edward Scissorhands, and Marty McFly combined."

Well, I take back the Bernie Mack bit.

I’m liking this guy more and more.

Michael, do you agree with this breakdown?

It’s not a revolutionary thought, but I realized while watching "Triggerfinger" that I still don’t really know most of the people on The Walking Dead. That’s why so many conversations seem aimless, or arbitrary, or disconnected from previous events, and that’s why so much of the action is driven by stupidity. Okay, we have Rick—he’s the good guy, who wants to do the right thing, but is troubled by a world in which the "right thing" has shifted so far away from what he knows that he often feels lost. Beyond that, I have nothing, but that’s okay, because I can give the hero a pass for now. Then we have Glenn, and at this point, I’d say Glenn is the most clearly defined, consistent character on the series, partly because Steven Yeun is good at his job, and partly because Glenn is an audience-identification figure, which means his template has been long established by genre pictures and shows. He’s the Everyman, kind of a nerd—we like him because he, like Rick, tries to do the right thing, but isn’t always up to his own standards. He’s resourceful, and more than a little naïve. These are all good things. Right behind Glenn on the character-definition chart is Shane, who has a lot of potential as the "crazy, on the edge guy," although he seems to shift between levels of crazy depending on what the narrative needs him to do. Hershel isn’t bad, although that’s mostly because Scott Wilson is the only old man in the cast, so that’s basically what he gets to play.

And that’s sort of it. I mean, Dale was doing well for a while, but now he’s on this quest to get Shane kicked out of the group, and that’s all he has anymore. Lori is whatever negative, unhappy conversation the writers want to inject into the world this week. Daryl? He also has potential, although his shift to crazy seemed less character-driven and more an attempt to ratchet up tension in the group. Andrea is hell-bent on being strong, and that’s all she’s got, and Carol, with her daughter dead, only exists because Daryl has to talk to someone. Maggie loves Glenn, and is troubled with her father, and she’s hot. T-Dog is black.

For the most part, I agree.

I like Daryl—I thought he was the most well-developed character on the show—but I don’t like the direction either of them were taking. Dale misquoted Faulkner in the first season and I’ve held a grudge for that, but I’ve liked him too. Shane definitely did take a turn after the whole Otis thing, but he hasn’t been the most believable. I feel like, mostly, the characters in this show are kind of cardboard, and it’s the events that drive the show. I watch it for suspense, not inter-personal relations. your thoughts?
