The Asphyxiated Pecker

Kobe Bryant..Has it all come to a sad end?

I never liked Kobe Bryant…I have always been a Tim Duncan kind of guy on one end or a KG kind of guy on the other. Kobe well is much too self absorbed..I felt like many did, but year after year, game after game, many  time wishing the lakers lost just cause of Kobe and his attitude, I have coem to the conclusion that after Jordan there probably has never been a competitor as fierce as Kobe Bryant and whatever the future brings to us in terms of player, i think guys like him come once a blue moon. There isnt any comparison with LeBron and Kobe or any other player. Kobe is sheer will, Kobe is what we should all respect and idolize, the sheer will of a man to overcome and win and succeed. Sad that his season had to come to an end this way. Sad that this  might eat kill whatever is left of his career like it did to Isiah Thomas. Then again, Kobe said this morning while swimming in semi delirium, “If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear”. Ive always loved that quote. Thats “mamba mentality” we don’t quit, we don’t cower, we don’t run. We endure and conquer.”. 

Kobe Bryant will be back and he will make up for his less than perfect ankle by his mamba mentality.

I heard a woman on her phone in Safeway say her daughters want to go to a concert by some weirdo named “skillet” with a half-shaved head

cognitivedissonance:

Then she said, “I don’t know, it’s a lot of whomp whomp skeet metal clanging on stuff. She SAYS it’s music but I bet it’s just kids with sound effects and expensive computers.”

I almost choked laughing. Bravo, ma’am.

I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.
