3 months later and it's still on my mind. 2009 just got EVEN MORE intriguing 3 months later...

3 words

honestly, literally, obviously

I and Americans use these 3 words, wayyyy too much. Honestly... Yeah so everyone thing else would have to be dishonest right? Literally... it took me literally an hour to get ready. Yeah cause we can't just say it took an hour. Obviously, we're in a recession. Yeah, poindexter, that's obvious. I'm trying to limit my usage of these words and encourage everyone else to. Also try awesome and amazing. They're really not the superlatives they used to be after we got so desensitized by their usage.

asian drivers

From my observance, the probability that I will be cut off by asian driver is 3/4. The math might not be exact here but I can't remember the last time someone pulled off a ridiculous maneuver or drove beneath the speed limit seemingly unaware of the moving environment around them. I'm not putting asian people on blast. Specifically, I'm calling out Asian Fobs 35+.

Another cross-section of the driving public is the black girl on the cell phone. If you honk at her, she will get out of her car at the light and go off on you while she's still on the phone... so I've seen.

And obviously, it's not every single person in these demographics. But in my experience the probability goes up significantly. When I pull up next to the car that pulled out in front of me when I was going at least the speed limit only to slam on my breaks to avoid a near collision I check to see who's driving. Check it out.

steroids

The second best pitcher of his generation and the 2 best baseball players of their generation took performance enhancing drugs. Many olympic athletes got pinched too. Reports on football players break every season (even kickers). WWF/WWE were under a lot of scrutiny as well as RAPPERS. Golfers are getting screened now too. Yeah...

So I'm just going to assume that everybody in the world is on steroids or performance enhancing drugs and I'm the only one that isn't. Guilty until proven innocent. If anyone achieves in sports reaches the pinnacle of their success I can only think that they're cheating in some way. After all, if you're not cheating, you're not trying....

3 Cups of Tea

One of the most unbelievable stories. If you don't know what I'm talking about go pick up the book. 3 Cups of Tea by Greg Mortonsen. The guy is a freaking hero and he's a regular guy. It was inspiring to see a normal person with tremendous amounts of commitment, motivation, and persistence succeed the way he has.

Just the first chapter itself should be a book. I was stuck when I hit the end because I wanted to hear more about his experiences in Central Asia. I wanted to learn more about how he worked around the Taliban and the Wahhabi Madrasas in Pakistan.

You'll have to read the entire book to find this quote:

"580 letters, 12 rams, and 10 years of work was a small price to pay, Mortenson thought, for such a moment...."
