Long time since I rapped at ya...
A lot longer than I figured, as it turns out. I started the entry below on Nov. 17,2005. Haven't touched it since. I'm including it anyway. Below.
(From Nov. 17,2005)
I know it's been a long time since I rapped at ya, with apologies to Jim Anchower, but I've been busy.
OK, not BUSY busy, just busy doing stuff. Visited Knoxville. Came back. Worked. Playstation and the Vols (implosion) took up a lot of time.
But I did want to point out something about money. Specifically, about winning money, since I don't pretend to know how to make it.
Last Saturday this college football game highlight came on, I can't remember the game, but it was a halftime highlight: A guy who had won a local grocery's contest threw a football like, 35 yards into a hole in some kind of board. It was a great pass, perfect, on the money, any Pro QB would have trouble getting inside that freaking hole. And he won a million dollars, sponsored by his local grocery chain. A million bucks!
How cool does that million sound? To the Porsche dealer: "Naw, I didn't make it in business or anything. Just threw a football 35 yards into a hole 3 feet in diameter, at a bowl game." It's hard to be jealous of a millionaire who got his money like that.
Thus my conclusion: Winning money, is better than no money at all.
