One of the most disheartening things to come out of Monday was there are writers who are calling the students cowards for not fighting back. When I read one of the essays suggesting such I was disgusted. On 9/11, I was across the street having just left the Trade Center Complex on my way work. I turned around upon hearing the sound of a plane that was much too low to the ground and saw the explosion. I saw the scene for maybe a second or two and then I ran. I didn't think, I didn't process how to act, I just did. So to suggest that these students are to blame for not being more heroic is disgusting.

Andrew Levy of Red Eye has a great rebuttal here. Levy is quickly becoming one of my favorite people not demonstrated here, but demonstrated on Red Eye is such a nack for word play and sarcasm, that it will only be a matter of time before someone fires him for being too real.

Tom Wolfe is a fantastic writer, and here he takes on Hedge Funds.

Jimmy Carr is an Irish-English comedian, who wrote for Ricky Gervais. He has two albums available on i-tunes and his dry reversals are awesome. Such as

"Some people say Pete Doherty hasn't introduced anything to society, but I disagree. If nothing else, he's introduced a condom into my fantasy of shagging Kate Moss."

One of the worst things in the world is when you meet someone of the opposite sex who other than the fact they and possibly you are in a committed relationship you would otherwise be extremely attracted to, then you have months of thinking about who they are dating. In your mind this person is an absolute loser and under other circumstances (you were not with the perfect person you are with, and they were not with the D-bag they are with) you would be the perfect couple. But then comes the day and you meet him and they are absolutely cool and probably better for this person, and maybe the person you are with, than you ever would or could be. That is awful.

There are news stories that are sad and terrible. The tragedy of last Monday is the worst kind. As a society we often throw around the term "Hero", we give it to quarterbacks, to singers on reality shows, to people who have a nice jump shot. A word we rarely use is "coward". Thats the word I thought of on Monday. I am sure this kid had a tough life, I am sure he was picked on, I am sure things didn't go his way, but to take that out on people who never did anything to him personally are the acts of a Coward.

Saw Grindhouse on Saturday as the field was visiting friends. Say what you want about Tarantino, but the guy can do two things. One is he can write dialogue, two is he can film women who you don't know if they are good or bad. I loved it, but there are a certain peoples I can only recommend the movie to.

Some day Patience is a virtue, to me Patience is the name of a stock midwest stripper from a bad private eye movie, who saw something she shouldn't of but is torn between doing what is right and doing what is safe.

The creation of the Mp3 Jukebox has taken all creativity out of playing the hand you are dealt at old timey jukeboxes.

I can't stand when people send emails with a list of questions but don't number them. It is selfish.

Jason Whitlock is one of the best sports writers out there because he writes how he feels.

If you want to feel good about humanity think about this. Somewhere in the world right now there are people creating proper wells so that villages can have clean drinking water.

If you want to feel unsure about humanity think about this: Somewhere in America parents are paying $40,000 dollars a year so their sons can have stayed up all night trying to come up with the perfect scale for ranking the attractiveness of women and are going to skip all their classes today.

If you want, however, a reason to never fly through Atlanta look here.

Shout out to #13. You know who you are.

I think I need to have something with Horseradish for lunch.

My Confirmation Name: Xavier

I wanted Fabian but someone else had already took it. We had to make a banner to hang in the church. Well a few weeks had passed since making them and their hanging and glue against felt just doesn't hold, so instead of it looking like Xavier with a cross underneath it the T part of the cross fell down. So it ended up looking like the church had a retired number for athlete Xavier number 1 hanging from the rafters.

Today's Andy Rooney can't stand of the day. When something is described with an adjective that while being complimentary is not what it's supposed to be. What the heck am I talking about?

Yesterday The Masters, Sopranos, Entourage. My eyes hurt.

You know what's interesting about Easter, is that no one ever really has any Great Easter stories. In fact I rack my brain to come up with this mediocre tale that ended with the Lake creating the policy, never do a group project with a friend.

1995. Freshman year of college I am taking Introduction To Business. Its early Feb, and we have to break up into groups of 4, pick a company and present on it later in the semester. I sit next to this guy who I will call the parking lot. He is a great friend who read at my wedding. We are both hopeless in even talking to girls. Across the classroom are two very attractive women. One was 5'4'' and Greek and I think was as a freshman starting for our basketball team I think. The other was from Colombia and always dressed like she was the girlfriend of Prince Harry. To two shy Catholic guys from the suburbs these girls were not just exotic, they might as well have been the woman in Total Recall with three breast. So I shyly approach them and ask if they want to make a foursome. They say yes. So we divide up the report. ONe takes Finance, One takes marketing. one takes government implications and one took Managment. We set up weekly meetings and the report seems to be going swimmingly. My witty banter while not wooing them into the lovefest I want it to be, has at least gotten me to the point where I feel comfortable talking to them, and actually spend time in their rooms going over things, and eating with them in the cafeteria. Finally it is holy week and we have Good Friday off. Our Presentation is the Monday following Easter. That Thursday we meet to hand in the presentation. I am going to put them all into one package over the weekend. Mission Accomplished. At the meeting however the Parking Lot tells me that he needs more time, the Greek girl does as well and the Colombian is nowhere to be found. Good Friday, the campus is empty. I go check my email, I have an email from the Colombian, she is back in Colombia she is having visa issues. She will call me at 4PM. The Greek emails me as well saying that she will be dropping off the disk in my dormroom at 5PM that night. No word from the parking lot. I go over to his room to find him asleep and hungover. 4PM the Colombian calls and says she is faxing me her final product at the campus business center. Through OCR I am able scan her fax and import it into the total document. 5PM the Greek drops off her disk with a little Easter basket filled with jelly beans and a hollow bunny. I take this as a sign of affection, she gives it as a sign of penance. Saturday morning I have incorporated the entire paper together and am waiting on this last piece. Saturday night, a non Catholic friend drives me and the Parking lot to a church in Woonsocket Rhode Island so we can go to the Easter Vigil. The Parking lot and I don't speak the whole mass. After a speech about foregiveness we both shake hands and go out back to campus and drink out half a bottle of Goldschlager and a bunch more Keystone Light. The next morning hungover we both went to the cafeteria and wrote the rest of the paper.

Easter is about redemption.

I wish I was good at Archery, that seems like a good skill for the post-apocalyptic world.

I know almost nothing about Golf, but to me there are few better sporting events then the Masters.
