I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I mean, clearly!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, some people think that the "desire to win" plays a major roll - like, if you try harder than everyone else, you'll win. I mean, there are people who place way too much importance on this....

Interesting. This kid is three years old, and they just gave him a mini football and told him to throw it, and he had close to perfect throwing form without anyone telling him how to do it. I think that most kids I've seen that age tend to step forward with the leg on the same side of the body as their throwing arm, if they step at all.

Well, there's desire to win, or competitive spirit or whatever. And there's the drive to take what you're given and put in the hard work of training to do it. But it's ridiculous to pretend that those two on their own will get you there. (Or that if you're born with the freaky talent, the drive and training probably come easier as well.)

Hey, if you unfriend someone on Facebook, do they get notified?
(no one here--someone from my home town, who turns out to be a jackass politically)

This seems unfair. They're testing this kid on a bunch of standard strength tests, but the standards for the tests start at age 6, and he's only 3. So they're telling what percentile he falls in for six-year-olds, but also have another three-year-old boy there doing the same tests as a control. The other three-year-old can't even do some of them, like chin-ups and sit-ups, and it just seems unfair to put him next to this super-strong kid for comparison.

Perkins, you may show up on their "people you may know" list, but that's it.

I think it's both, at the really elite levels. You have to have the physical body to do whatever, and the mental desire to work as hard as you need to.

I was actually hoping he would, because he is that big an asshole.
Oh well.
