weekend coming....mets gonna blow it.....again

quote of the day

"refuse to remain intellectually stagnant. thrive on the thirst for wisdom, and use your mindfulness to quench it."
-me


there are days that i feel philosophical, and decide to jot down some random thoughts that are floating in my head. so i come up with quotes from time to time. most of them will be corny, but hopefully some of them will be decent.

i played something like 35 games the last couple days and am up around $1500. i tried to get some games in today, but got caught up in watching the mets game, and then the debate. mets...what can i say. sigh. its amusing how much my emotions swing on sports. max kellerman has a great perspective on it. he said that every day we ask god about the meaning of life...why do we go through this? what if anything do our lives mean on the scale of the universe? its so frustrating to have so many questions unanswered.... he eludes to that we should be angry with god because we really know nothing about life. so in response to that....man has created an entire subculture to get back at god. this subculture will captivate millions. it will be talked about among people around the world. something that we will care so much about and actually have no meaning whatsoever. this is the world of sports.

well....games have really tightened up on stars these days. seems like there is a regular sitting at every table all day long. its frustrating, but can't do much else then jump in there and get the games in. im hoping to play 60 games over the weekend. more realistically, ill probably get caught up watching more baseball and football, and play 30 games, but ya never know. go mets! go cubs!

Getting caught up on the debates makes sense to me. The sports thing? You've totally lost me there.
