The Way Things Are

This has been a tough few days. The weather is hot as hell and muggy at the same time. Now thunderstorms are on the way and threatening more rain and hail. In fact, it was so hot today that when the rains fell out in the desert area, the water immediately turned to steam when it hit the ground.

This combined with the fact that I have had to endure through the man, the myth, the legend of Gonzaga basketball, Ronny Turiaf go through press conference after press conference about his impending heart surgery. To actually watch as a tear is brought to his eye talking about his situation makes everything else seem so unimportant. It does bring up the interesting topic of the GU basketball curse. Since Stockton, no GU basketball player has had a successful career in the NBA. Dickau jumps from team to team without much play-time anywhere, Frahm is no where to be found, Stepp blew his chance in the tourney, and now Turiaf. This means that Morrison is our only hope. I hope I'm not the only one terrified of that tought.

Oh, and Keanan, anywhere and everywhere you go, no matter where you may be, there always has to be a person around to take shit from the rest of the group. It happened to Carlton in Fresh Prince, Screech in Saved by the Bell, Flanders in the Simpsons, etc... Thats just the way the world works.
