Ten random thoughts: Travel edition.
1. There is nothing like sitting at a table with friends who amaze, inspire, amuse and accept you for precisely who and what you are. Thanks JT, Melle, Lainie and Cheryl for reminding me of all the things ridiculously awesome about the company I keep.
2. What is it about airports and travel that just seems to bring out the idiocy of people? Divas cussing out the security checkpoint line for not letting her cut in because she was "SO gonna miss her flight??" Shit sucks, I know it. But deal with it like the rest of us and stop channeling Paris Hilton. That is so not hawt.
3. Why is it, that whenever I take a notion to blog over the past week, a wave of sleepiness passes over me?
4. Sweet Lord is San Francisco chilly.
5. Donovan McNabb...while I might be able to go with you on the differential treatment and expectations of African American quarterbacks...I think it's HIGHLY suspect if you make mention of this in the throes of what might be your most unimpressive season start since we booed you on draft day. When I say 'we'...I mean Philadelphians. But hey...we booed Santa. Don't take it personal.
6. Benedryl sleep is the sweetest sleep. I don't care if it's killing brain cells. According to some, they clearly weren't being used anyway.
7. It's amazing that we covet what you believe other people have or don't have in their lives. The truth is...we're all marginally screwed up about something. The people who stand a chance are the ones who can at least admit that openly.
8. Why is acknowledgement of your feelings or any sort of validation from someone you know, love and trust soo immediately healing?
9.Can...barely...keep...eyes...open.
10 I was interviewed not once, but twice related to this event I'm attending in San Fran. Curious to see the finished products.

I call shenanigans on McNabb as well. I'll accept that in 2007 there are still different pressures on black quarterbacks than others but McNabb's struggles have to do more with playing in Philly than anything else. Ever since the Limbaugh incident, he's been beloved across the country from a media perspective and, this season, he's not getting killed like Eli Manning and Rex Grossman.
With the number of black quarterbacks and black coaches in the league at this point, those two areas of concern are muted. We now need to focus on the lack of minority owners in all of sports, particularly those sports dominated by the minority athlete (baseball, basketball, football...),
Maybe, Donovan, this is why your teammates kind of punked you out in the T.O. days.

Ahhh....I vaguely remember what that felt like. Since my insomnia kicked in, I'm suddenly immune to it.
I miss it and I'm jealous.
I was wondering where you have been! hope you are having fun!
next time, head east!
