The beginning of this article hooked me in a bit as I could totally sympathize, but then after reading it and processing it a bit I have to ask: how much did ESPN pay Chuck to write this? The reality of our world today dictates that [leisure] time >>>> (much greater) than almost everything else including me having to watch a sporting event with everyone else in the world at the same time (and watch the inane commercials at the same time). Sorry.

It's a good point Kerr made about LeBron here:

“He’s got more pressure on him than anybody in the history of sports. It is bizarre and unfortunate. I feel so sorry for him.”

I want to write more about this later hopefully, but I will just briefly say this: I oddly sometimes sympathize with LeBron from the respect that all growing up, for whatever reason, people seemed to want to not only pay attention to me but also give me their best shot. For some reason I think I brought out the best (worst?) in people on the basketball court and in other areas. I am not sure what it is. I know LeBron does too and probably even more starkly than me. So, that said, would I ever call myself King? Would I tattoo 'Chosen One' on myself? No, of course I wouldn't. I didn't ask for this just like LeBron didn't ask for it, but I also don't advertise it. LeBron does.

Listening to a great song tonight, 'Gone Going' by Black Eyed Peas. It is a good companion to Price Tag (Jessie J with BOB). Some lyrics below:

Johnny wanna be a big star
Get on stage and play the guitar
Make a little money, buy a fancy car
A big old house and a alligator
Just to match with them alligator shoes
He's a rich man so he's no longer singing the blues
He's singing songs about material things
And platinum rings and watches that go bling
But, diamonds don't blink in the dark
He a star now, but he ain't singing it from the heart
Sooner or later it's just gonna fall apart
Coz his fans can't relate to his new found art
He ain't doing what he did from the start
And that's puttin' in some feeling and thought
He decided to live his life shallow
Cash in his love for material.
And it's gone...

[Chorus]
Gone going, gone
Everything gone give a damn
Gone be the birds when they don't want to sing
"Gone people" up awkward with their things gone.
