if anything is possible, why didn't the timberwolves do better? mellish, to cop from adelman, says "give me pierce and allen."
pierce said "now he doesn't have to watch the parades on tv." was anyone forcing him to watch them? were masked men forcefully entering his house, changing the channel, and compelling him to watch?
a lot of the players were video taping the parade. why? no one in the crowd won a championship! fuck them. what a waste of film.
anything is possible. the next time i see a homeless guy, or read about a war or famine, i'm gonna repeat that to myself, and all will be well.
anything is possible if you are 7 feet and can shot 20 foot jump shots, but what if you are 5 foot 5, miss half your lay ups, and have a penis the size of a small insect? take it from me, anything is not possible. hey kg, why don't you tell those guys who got turned down for operations in "sicko" that "anything is possible." oh, that's right, they can't hear anymore. well, why don't you tell some guy in iraq whose family and country has been destroyed by our military that "anything is possible."
everything has become professional wrestling. that is the mo now; noise, melodrama, extroverted, infantile, energy and excitement, and a crazed, unthinking audience. this is now standard not only in the world of sports, but in the culture in general. think of the mindless audience in american idol, blindly cheering the contestants on, swaying side to side like mindless fascists, angered by the slightest criticisms.
lacking in it all is anything real, anything decent.
oh, but where are you, charles beaumont?
and so, we slide along, down a hill that seems to get lower and lower. when will we hit bottom?
and when we do, how will we know? for we have accepted each downward turn. we have justified every travesty, swallowed every bit of hypocrisy. we have been bought off with trinkets and superbowls and plasma tv's and ipods.
we have hit bottom.
we are looking up at the basement.
and it costs 1800 a month, no utilities.
and you better believe someone will tell you, "that's a good deal. i'm paying 2200."
as they march along, in their parades.
speaking german.
