“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up.”
Proverbs 12:25
I know that’s the case with me lately.
I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear … that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived.
– Rabbi Harold Kushner
Hm. Interesting thought.
Dick Tracy: Is the enemy of my enemy my friend, or the enemy of my friend my enemy?
Pat Patton: What?
Dick Tracy: Or enemy of my enemy my enemy?
Pat Patton: What’d he say?
Dick Tracy: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Sam Catchem: He said the enemy of his enemy is his enemy.
Pat Patton: Oh.
It was that kind of weekend. You know, the one where you have to kinda pull for the… ::shudders:: eViL Sp*rs?
Yea. They finished off the Blues. 1-0. Enemy of my enemy, defeats an enemy makes the victorious enemy… my friend?
Then there were the Reds. The Villains (no, not a typo) get annihilated 5-0 by the Reds. Enemy of my (annoying-gnat-like ankle-biting) enemy, is supremely triumphant… makes them…my friend?
Then there’s the “fellow League member of little consequence” (Fulham) SPECTACULARLY DISMANTLING our greatest enemy, ManYoooooo two-ZIP — which makes the former our BESTEST BUDDY OL’ PALS IN THE ENTIRE PREMIERSHIP.
Right?
Thoughts:
- Friedel did not deserve the red card. That was a tad too harsh. Taking out the opponent like that was not his aim. Now Villa have to suffer without him against United. Expect an appeal, and rightly so.
- Wayne Rooney throwing a fit and getting his second card of the game takes the cake.
Oh yea, Gallas, what was that goal all about?
No time for finger pointing, we came out to put away Newcastle 3-1 to get us 3 points ahead of AV. Not comfortable breathing room, but we’re demonstrating an uptick in form while AV seems like they’re sputtering out.
Here’s how it needs to turn out.
The evil Sp*rs need to beat Chelsea.
Fulham is up over dirty Red Devils 1-0 with less than 10 minutes to go. If they win, I will laugh or cry myself to death. Or both.
And Portsmouth did us a favor bygetting Everton off our heels.
(Oh yea, and Arsenal have to show up and shut down Newcastle later today, of course.)
Marvel is celebrating Wolvie’s 35th birthday with some imaginative renditions of Logan — as famous artists might have portrayed him.
Ya wanna tell me how old I look to my face, bub?
Hat tip to The Fire Wire who has more.
Mrs. Kovács and I stayed up to watch the Seattle Sounders route the NY Red Bulls 3-0 in the 2009 MLS season opener.
That Fredy Montero is going to turn into something special I can see it. I can’t wait for another certain Fred — Mr. Freddie Ljungberg — to make his MLS debut.
After the game, an ESPN reporter asked Ljungberg what it’s like to go from rainy London to rainy Seattle to which he replied, “It’s cufkin’ excellent!”
(Only you Gooners out there will know what I’m talking about).
FoxNews has a nice slideshow to welcome Compean and Ramos back home.
They were certainly away for much too long.
Kevin George Baker
Kevin George Baker, a disabled Navy veteran, had been riding his hand-propelled bicycle from his hometown through Washington, D.C. and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to Marseilles, Illinois to support a new flag designed to honor fallen members of the military. His trip began at his home on Saturday, March 7 and sadly ended on March 13 when he passed away in his sleep. Baker, who is unable to use his legs due to a neurological impairment, was flying the Honor and Remember Flag from his bike and encouraged people along the way to sign a petition urging Congress to adopt the flag as a new national symbol by passing HR Bill 1034.
You can read the rest of Baker’s story here.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
