I love this guy - I don't live this other guy

He Sings, He Runs, He's 101 - I hope I'm like him when I grow up. Drinks, smokes, runs marathons, and is still working at 101 years of age. I swear, retirement kills people.

This guy....grrrr. Here in the U.S. of A. if you are a pro sports person of ANY kind at ANY level, hell, if you are a star on your local high school football team, you can do anything, ANYTHING AT ALL, and never be penalized. And don't think our athletes don't know it. This, I believe, then creates a mindset with them that they CAN do anything and they do things that they might otherwise have second thoughts about. I mean, if you know there is no penalty no matter what you do, you just might go ahead and shoot that neighbors dog that never stops barking or whatever little crime you may have thought about committing but decided wasn't worth it. If there was no penalty...

I'm just waiting for us to find out we have a serial killer or serial rapist who is a big NFL or NBA star - and see him get off with probation with special conditions so he can go right on playing.

*deep breath*

Okay, I am out of here, I hope to get some new pages up today on the adult side, as well as a new article for The Trickster and some questions over on Ask Me Anything.

I dunno what I did right but I'm getting a flood of questions from folks on AOL email. Not that I'm complaining...but I am falling behind, so I hope everyone can be a bit patient!

Blessedbe
