My Thoughts: Joe Paterno

So it’s been an extremely long time since I’ve posted and admittedly I probably should be studying for my Cardiopulmonary midterm on Monday but after today’s developments I feel compelled to write something. In advance I apologize for misspellings, grammatical errors, or incoherent chains of thought. I have done nothing but memorize medicine for 3 [ READ MORE ]

The Market for Fantasy Sports

I’d like to know how many hours are spent on FF-related activites. There’s definitely money to be made, or lost, here[ READ MORE ]

Why I Side with the League Against the NFLPA

The labor dispute between the NFL Players Association and the league is interesting; if this were any other labor market, this would have been resolved long ago. Employees have bargaining power only when their labor is specialized, and thus only when the demand for their services is relatively inelastic. This contrasts with auto workers and [ READ MORE ]

Random Thoughts

It’s already March, and it’s been some time since anyone has bothered to post on here. So this is the revival! Speaking of “march”, there is a hilarious assortment of Hitler rant parodies on the web that illustrate the creativity of geeks interested in several different subject matters. A few still exist, but a number [ READ MORE ]

My Plain White Tee

It’s been a while since I’ve written on here. Got bored today and wrote a free verse. Don’t know if this is a return or just a casual visit but we’ll see My Plain White Tee I never used to wear one, A plain white tee. I never knew what it was for, Or why [ READ MORE ]

You can call it the No [ READ MORE ]

Enter Starlet City

The prologue to a story I’m writing: Cities are supposed to be alive, bustling, filled with people; this one however is dying. With each passing day it falls apart, decaying, slowly being eaten alive by ravenous, corrupt politicians and criminals. Buildings that once stood clothed in majestic stones, granite and marble pillars are exposed, naked [ READ MORE ]

I M Possible.

In the left, towering at 6’11 The 230 pound, monster of steel. Its muscles ripple as he lifts his arms. Biceps cut from rock, guns locked, loaded, Ready to kill. Tell Bush to forget Iraq and Saddam, Those WMDs are here. He struts and flexes, the greased body Glimmers under the spotlight. And in the [ READ MORE ]

Disbelieve It or Not

This Buddha here sits on my desk But his countenance I do not get He laughs and smiles with coins of gold I thought he was a modest soul. Yet he tumbles on without a care, letting out his gut, all fat and bare. It has me all abashed and bent. Could this man really [ READ MORE ]
