Sincerely, Lance Armstrong

"The night before brain surgery, I thought about death. I searched out my larger values, and I asked myself, if I was going to die, did I want to do it fighting and clawing or in peaceful surrender? What sort of character did I hope to show? Was I content with myself and what I had done with my life so far? I decided that I was essentially a good person, although I could have been better- -but at the same time I understood that the cancer didn't care. 

I asked myself what I believed. I had never prayed a lot. I hoped hard, I wished hard, but I didn't pray. I had developed a certain distrust of organized religion growing up, but I felt I had the capacity to be a spiritual person, and to hold some fervent beliefs. Quite simply, I believed I had a responsiblity to be a good person, and that meant fair, honest, hardworking, and honorable. If I did that, if I was good to my family, true to my friends, if I gave back to my community or to some cause, if I wasn't a liar, a cheat, or a thief, then I believed that should be enough. At the end of the day, if there was indeed some Body or presence standing there to judge me, I hoped I would be judged on whether I had lived a true life, not on whether I believed in a certain book, or whether I'd been baptized. If there was indeed a God at the end of my days, I hoped he didn't say, "But you were never a Christian, so you're going the other way from heaven." If so, I was going to reply, "You know what? You're right. Fine." - Lance Armstrong

Beats me CSU

How crazy are they?

Colorado State’s president will format a decision on whether or not the university will fund the construction of a new on-campus football stadium, based on the findings of a 177-page report, according to the Coloradan.

He’s actually taking this proposition into consideration?

CSU officials said it will “energize and engage students, alumni and the Fort Collins community.” And they continue, “it will help recruit better players and coaches, and attract more out-of-state students.”

Are they joking?

Their current stadium, Hughes Stadium, isn’t new by any means but there is no reason to replace it.

The complex holds roughly 32,000 people; the Rams average attendance last year at home was 22,200. It’s located four short miles from campus; most of CSU’s student body lives off-campus. 

So why again?

Sorry pops. 

Oh well, at least it's funny.

Dwights Howard and "His" Team in LA

We all knew that the four way trade that sent Dwight Howard to Los Angeles would make the Lakers the team to beat in the Western Conference. What we didn't know was that the acquisition of "Superman" would make Kobe Bryant relinquish his team.

"The team is his," said the five time NBA Champion. "It should be his."

Kobe doesn't mean it, even it was true, which it most definitely is not.

The Lakers legend has earned the right to say what he wants, even if we all know its a completely ridiculous falsehood, and get away with it.

Dwight may be the second coming of Moses Malone and Shaquille O'Neal, but its still Kobe's team. That's the way it should be.

Stephen Wiltshire: NYC Cityscape

"I'd love to be in his mind, to actually see how he sees things."

Stephen Wiltshire is an inspiring autistic artist, something you wouldn't normally see or hear about. And what he does in this video is truly incredible. After a twenty minute helicopter ride over New York City Wiltshire sketches the entire cityscape in great detail.

Here we go again....

This is a promise. I'm going to do better, I'm going to write more. I'm going to post more.

So stay tuned.... and we'll all see how long it lasts.
