Out of Touch
I have had my head buried in papers recently, and I'm about to surface, which made me think about some things. Generally, I think I may be out of touch. For one, I have not spoken to many people in the last couple of weeks, other than the librarian and my classmates who are also in the library, and Chuck when I take an XBOX break. For two, I don't think I know what the standard is for length regarding papers. Tell me, dear readers, what is the minimum page limit for a paper that you would consider to be long? Concordantly, how many sources do you consider to be enough for a research paper? I will tell you that being at HUGSR may have warped my perspective. I consider any paper over 20 pages to be in the "long" range, and I average 40-50 sources per paper. This is too much, isn't it? Similarly, we don't have cable, so last night I listened to the Sox SWEEP the Yanks via radio. It was actually kind of cool. I felt very retro and sophisticated. Look at me listening to people talk and using my imagination. Just like the good old days...

I don't expect the groundlings and hoi polloi to care about hockey, so you're off the hook. Lucky you.
And please understand...
I *AM* rooting for the Mavericks. Mark Cuban is one of my heros, and I cheer for him to succeed.
I just know a bad matchup when I see one. And the Mavericks are about up to their knees in one right now, so they'd better find an answer QUICKLY or it's going to be a catastrophe that the franchise won't recover from for years and years.
Now, while I watch Game Seven against Vancouver...
Why don't you go get a dictionary and look up "groundlings" and "hoi polloi" and expand your lexicon?
And you'll probably have to look up "lexicon" too.
Oh and...
Be afraid. Be verrrrry afraid.
Being a seminarian, I am aware of these words of which you speak. As if I do not know Greek... come on. Versus, that's like the male version of Oxygen, right?
You know something? You're right for once.
Being a seminarian, you associate daily with the hoi polloi and the groundlings...so naturally you'd know who and what they are. My mistake.
How's that all going, by the way? Are you learning all the tenets of Christian Imperialism? And how most 21st Century Christianity masquerades as being humble and accepting, when all the while it is arrogant, divisive and contradictory? And have you gotten to the part about how Jesus was a white Republican from Texas who had Cowboys season tickets? (They do still teach that, don't they?)
Versus NHL coverage sucks. I miss the ESPN days. Gary Thorne and Bill Clement were the shiznit.
Oh and...
Be afraid. Be verrrrrry afraid.
Patrick, I would respond more than this, but seeing as how you do not have a blog of your own on which I could post, I will now begin to ignore your comments. Get a blog.
However, I am in Tennessee now, so you should know that the Jesus we preach wears a Vince Young jersey. It was either that or Pacman Jones, so as you can imagine...
So let's see...
You're going to ignore an opinion different from your own, while backhandedly belittling someone who doesn't have (or want) something that you think is a status symbol.
Wow. You must get straight A's at that seminary. The short-sighted, narrow-minded doctrine they espouse probably fits you like a hand in a glove.
(Or is that all just an effect of the brainwashing and guilt?)
Either way...
Well done, good and faithful servant.
Oh, and...
Be afraid. Be verrrrrry afraid.
Uh oh.
Be afraid. Be verrrrrrry afraid.
Uh oh.
Be afraid. Be verrrrry afraid.
Strong effort. Especially in the last three minutes or so.
But now they must do it again. And this time they must do it...in Hell.
So...
Be afraid. Be verrrrry afraid.
Well...
I hate to say "I told you so"...
But, since you only live once...
I told you so.
Oh well. Just a few months to training camp.
At least they made history. A #1 seed had never lost to a #8 seed in the first round in a 7 game series. Till now. They'll always have that.
And hey...Dirk's the MVP of the NBA. Isn't that what it's all about?
Instead of taunting (you're getting enough of that here) I'll just feel your pain - it wasn't too long ago that the Sonics were the first 1 seed ever to lose to an 8 seed (it was a 5 game series). Dikembe Mutumbo lying on his back clutching the basketball is forever etched in my memory. It still hurts now.
Oh, good, they just showed it on Sportscenter - thanks for the reminder!
