Partying. Climbing. All The Money.
Feb. 4th, 2008 10:21 amHad pretty sizeable hangovers on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, I think I will blame my alcoholic exuberance on TheAmazingJB’s Birthday Weekend, that girl insists on the partying with a steely determination, the drinking rolls on, an unstoppable boozy juggernaught. Welcome to 30, girl, you’re starting it out just right! So anyway, hungover as I was Sunday morning I was surprised at how hard I was able to climb, I did the 5.12b/c route that had completely shut me down last week. It may have been the hardest route I’ve ever done, actually; the start and the middle are super tricky, and there is a brutal stemming bit in the chimney after that. I finished the route, but it was ugly. Next time I does it better.
It’s an old joke – what is a professional football game? It’s a bunch of millionaires running around on a field. It’s totally true, it’s kinda funny, applies to most all professional sports. And so when we hear about a baseball strike or bitter contract negotiations or whatever it seems so ridiculous, like, what the hell do those players have to complain about? You have millions and millions of dollars, would you just stop whining and play your game and be content to roll around in your mountains of $100 bills? But then I was thinking, gee I’ll bet that’s what Americans look like to most of the world - people living in villages in Mexico and India and China, we are millionaires to them, we live these lives of unimaginable luxury, Jesus Christ would you gringos stop complaining about how stressed you are and how bad your economy is? You guys have all the money. You have your own home, and it’s just you and your wife and your kid living in it! You have a refrigerator, a stove, a microwave, all these crazy machines to do your work for you, and all the electricity you want to run them! You have your very own car, and some of you have more than one car, all to yourself! That’s insane! And still you guys bitch and whine about how stressful it is to be you, and then your health care buys you drugs to fight off the depression and anxiety you have about being so insanely rich. You spend all this money fighting over who’s going to run the country next, utterly asinine crap like how to keep gay people from getting married, how to keep the dirty Mexicans off your border, and what Middle East country to invade next. You guys are such idiots, for once can’t you just shut up, sit back, and enjoy spending all your fucking money. Sheesh.
