a competition i can really get behind. with passion. with all my heart. and all my free time.
the ncaa basketball championship. i enter without prejudice because i have watched almost none of the season's games. and yet i enter with passion because there is some excellent ball playing going on. so far three of the underdogs have conquered and who doesn't like a feel good story where the underdog comes out on top? those with a lot of money on the game that's who, but we over in this corner are all for the little people.
you see the coaches and sometimes even the players pontificating but sport tv is clever - you can't hear a word they say. folk go red in the face, spittle shoots from their mouths and you think, oh, it must be really important. but you can't be sure and so no bubbles are burst and in no time we are back to the action and the muted suits are soon forgotten. there are some lessons here for the current election coverage but i fear that perhaps the so-called journalists and newspeople are too busy following a "story" to learn any lessons. but i won't complain, for once the ball games are over, i shall be back with them. i am thinking maybe i should work on a whole album of songs. yeah, that's it a whole album... but wait, three point play!!!
i gotta go!
