Writing about sports is so boring. I still watch sports and I attend games although not as many as I used to. KU basketball has started. It is not as good as it used to be. With a very few exceptions, Coach Roy used to get guys that would have probably been in college without basketball. Coach Bill has guys on the team that are only in college because of basketball. I don't think there is as much to cheer for. College basketball has turned too much into the NBA. All it is is post up and kick out. No movement and no cheap baskets because of ball movement. It is boring to watch. Plus, I learned a hard lesson in investing too much into team. The 95 Chiefs broke my spirit. I'm a passive fan I don't really care. I just hope it is a good competative game.
I was at some cheap bar in Olathe. There were a lot of young people there. You could see people walking in from the parking lot. These two cheesy looking women were walking in from the parking lot. I could see them coming. When they got inside, one of them has a can of bud light in her hand. I couldn't stop laughing. It was an ultimate white trash moment. theJEDMAN
I went to Hooter's the other night. I was talking to the Italian girl behind the bar. She has a lot of the qualities coveted by the superfiscial man. She was telling me that she had to work until close tonight. She said she would get home about 2AM. Then she had to come in for an employee meeting at 8am. Then she was to go church. She is a good wholesome girl. Then she had to go back and work from 4 to close and be there to open Monday morning. She is a soldier. She is a warrior. She has discpline and perserverance. Hard work made this county what it is. You think working at Hooter's is all glamour. Think again.
This reminded me of my days in the biz. I remember once at Applause Video, I worked from 4pm to 1am on a Saturday. Then I worked open to close on a Sunday which was 8am to 10:30. Then I had to open up on Monday. Many times at the Subway. I worked many days in a row and only went home to sleep. You can do that when you are young, but it damages you soul. theJEDMAN
