How To Follow Your Dream (hint: don’t give up)

November 19, 2013 by

After you hear the words, “Follow your dream,” or, “Follow your bliss,” what’s next? Most hear that and decide to put dreams and bliss on the shelf for another day. They’ll get on it when they have more time, follow their bliss after they learn to identify it. An old New York City joke has a tourist asking a […]

CALMING DOWN AFTER TELLING OTHERS TO CALM DOWN

May 24, 2021 by

Calming down is hard when usually calm people start twitching. You know it’s going off the tracks when you have to tell the calm ones to calm down. Sensitive people have it worse because their radar picks up problems before they become problems. Ever try telling a sensitive person to calm down? How did that […]

MASCULINITY DISPLAYED: WHO IS OLD ENOUGH FOR OLD SCHOOL SPORTS

May 21, 2020 by

I heard masculinity displayed on sports talk radio. It wasn’t the same version shared by Kareem and Coach Wooden. (Do you know their story?) Jason Whitlock recently explained how the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance appealed to him: Jordan was just an old school, manly, sort of guy doing old school and manly things. […]

CANCER VIEW: WEED FROM THE OTHER SIDE

November 26, 2017 by

My cancer view had more weed hope later than sooner with DAG approved brownies. It started with a look for an alternate route for a cure instead of chemo road.   What I found was a log of death in men who’d gone the alternate route instead of chemo, then switched to the hard stuff […]

MARK ZUCKERBERG BUILDS PURPOSE ON FACEBOOK WALL

May 27, 2017 by

    For big life questions, Mark Zuckerberg has big answers. From his Harvard commencement address: Today I want to talk about purpose. But I’m not here to give you the standard commencement about finding your purpose. We’re millennials. We’ll try to do that instinctively. Instead, I’m here to tell you finding your purpose isn’t […]

AN NBA FINALS HEADACHE

June 12, 2015 by

Game 4 Of The NBA Finals Draws Blood. Just when the old lawman has the new band of outlaws rounded up in Cleveland, this happens: They break out. Keep in mind the old lawman, Sheriff LeBron, is an ancient thirty year old. His age isn’t important unless you compare him to Steph Curry. When you […]

PORTLAND BOOMER’S NBA BURDEN

May 20, 2015 by

Notes On A Bitter Blazer Fan’s NBA Burden. Sport’s fans watch. Maybe they have some game. Maybe they used to have some game. Either way they mostly watch. And yell. Maybe drink a beer. After enough beer they compare their game to the players they see on TV. Most sports fans compare themselves favorably, the […]

1080 THE FAN GOES ON A HOST HUNT

January 19, 2015 by

Admit it, you’ve been in someone’s car with sports talk radio on and thought, “Please just shut up.” But they don’t turn it down. The driver won’t change the station. You don’t ask. The radio hosts keep repeating things three times. You wonder who the last two are for since you heard it the first […]

WHY THE RAGE AGAINST GREATNESS?

June 12, 2014 by

Find a map that shows Miami Heat fans. It looks like one spot in Florida like the Heat. The rest of the nation pulls for San Antonio. Why? Could be everyone hates on LeBron. Or Miami. Or The Decision. For one group of fans, it’s none of the above. Older fans don’t want to hear […]

PORTLAND’S LA SIMILAR TO CALIFORNIA’S LA

April 22, 2014 by

Fans of championship NBA teams know the true meaning of a victory in the first game of the playoffs. Business as usual is their attitude. Not in Portland. Trail Blazer fans don’t know business as usual. The first round of the playoffs might be the second season for good teams, but in Portland there’s only […]
