I am the on-going path....

Man, what a day...starting to get a little busier and I can see the tasks piling up on my plate. I foresee a little stress, he he he. That's what I get for procrastinatin though, so no complaints.

Laker update - haven't done one of these all season I think. Lakers have been on a role...6 wins in a row, longest winstreak since '04...and are 25 - 11. And BAMN, Bynum gets injured. MRI results just came in...knee cap injury - out minimum 8 wks. Okay team, its' time to show our depth, and Kwame, gotta play for that contract baby...come on!!!! This is the time we'll see the Lakers' true heart....

Holy crap, I forgot to post this a long time ago; check this out. Simply one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. There is absolutely no limit to what we can do as people man, there really isn't.

BUT sometimes there IS a limit, and that limit is implemented by society. The guy's name is Oscar Pistorius and he's a double amputee track athlete. I'd heard about him before while checking some track stuff(I'm little bit of a track afficionado, I guess you can say), but I had only heard that he was a double amputee and everyone called him "Blade Runner." But the reason I bring him back up is because I was listening to Jim Rome earlier this morning and they were talking about how they won't let him compete in the Olympics. Apparently, the IAAF (International Association of Athletic Federations) says he has an unfair advantage. Actually, the rule is that you cannot use any device that incorporates springs or other elements that provides an advantage over an athlete NOT using the device. W.....T.....F!?!??! How can you actually think that the double-amputee has a frickin advantage over a full-bodied professional track athlete? Sometimes, I really am disappointed with our society....
