| when looking at a relationship, do you look to grow up with someone, or grow old with that someone?

| i'm starting to see the ugly side of capitalism as i research more about universal health care. everyone is in on the scam, from the paid off lawmakers to the insurance companies' lobbyists and even the local hospitals. maybe not everyone, but much more than many would think. the pharmacy at the hospital charges more than the pharmacy in the local supermarket; a doctor's visit costs and average $200, even if they spend 10 mins with you while you wait for 2 hours..
capitalism is great because it allows people the freedom of choice, but an option is to raise prices with little substance. then comes advertisers.. if there's a need, or a want, or even the possibility of creating a want, there is money to be made... maybe its too late into the night, but the greed of businesses is scaring me like the monster under my bed.

| kobe scored 50 again last night.. wow
this is a story from the game,
You may notice on the highlights of Friday night's game how Bryant
high-fived a young boy midway through the third quarter after hitting a
sick 3-pointer from the left side with a defender draped all over him.
I asked Kobe: Why the high-five? "It was a little kid, and he had said,
'What's up,' and I said, 'What's up' back. And I told him: 'Watch this
3. I've got a 3 for you.' "
-edit- again
in other sporting news, KOBE IS A FRKN SCORING MACHINE. 65 vs portland, 50 vs minnisota, 60 last night against memphis. on espn.com, there's a poll for how much kobe will score tonight: under 50, 50-55, 56-60, 61-65, 65 and above.
65 and above?! that would just sound rediculous for any other player..
-edit-
I know SportsIllustrated is the chump's version of ESPNtheMagazine but SI forcasts Angels OVER Dodgers for the '07 world series. even though i find it highly unlikely that this will happen, thats pretty sweet..
who's excited for BASEBALL!

| i feel like im running on a treadmill. the rubber is soft under my feet; no sinister bumps or rocks are waiting for their moment to twist my ankle. im in good shape.
is that all i am supposed to do? i know this can't be my only purpose: to do the same things week after week with the only hardships brought on by myself (like a lazy foot dragging opposite the speedy rubber floor that sends me stumbling, not forward but in the same place).
i know there is more i am supposed to do. God didn't make us to be stuck in a cage running inside a wheel. why do i choose to put myself there?
i wanna be a messenger. maybe not to run 26 miles to tell of victory and simply die (actually, this metaphor kinda works...) but one who has a purpose; a reason to run other than for the sake of running. i wanna be in good shape because of obstacles not because of boredom. i know those bumps and rocks are there for a reason.
im speaking of my christian walk. i can read christian philosophy. i can study the Bible so i could teach on sundays. i can be kind to everyone. i can debate with a fellow christian the arguments of predestination vs. free will. where is this getting me?
i think im too comfortable. i like my wheel.
