Took last night off from life. Due to Montezuma! Now I haven’t been anywhere near South America; nor, have I even thought of South America, so why is he exacting his revenge on me? Aghh.
Maybe I have given myself an ulcer with trying to keep too many “plates” twirling. Hmmm?
Oh well, today will be better.
Especially since the NuJerzee taxpayers have something to show for all the money they have pumped into the pigeon hole labeled “State U”.
(Every real state has to have one right? Don’t want our distinguished Congress critters to be looked down on as rubes by their fellow fascists. Do we?)
Anyway, the Rutgers semi-professionals beat the Louisville semi-professionals in an exciting football game last night. As befits an educated and cultural elite group (in their own minds), there was no violence in the streets “celebrating” “their” victory.
(Never understood how buying a ticket to watch some men, who have sweated their butts off, who have practiced “a lot”, and who have sacrificed a lot, when those men win, how does your ticket, your tuition bill, or your tax bill, make that”your victory”?)
In the grand scale of things, I’d have rather they announced a cure for <insert your favorite disease: aids, breast cancer, montezuma’s revenge>. But I guess you have to take joy where you find it.
And, no, I’m not jealous because there’s no Jasper football. There is Jasper Rugby! Now that’s a real man’s game. No equipment. No “scholarships”. Nothing professional about it. Just played for the joy of sport.
Isn’t that what student athletics and amateur is supposed to mean?
