as I watch my dog go fuckin crazy over his new ball, my first thought is..dumb dog, its just a ball!!

just a ball?

didn't larry bird, michael jordan, hank arren, babe ruth just play with a ball?
doesn't tiger woods play with a ball?

scoccer, hockey, football, polo, rugby, cricket.
even the aztec played a forearm game, played with a ball.
kick it, throw it, shot it, pass it, hit it.

because of a simple ball, we have made gods of the common man. rich, famous, god like statues. everyone who has ever played with a ball on a high level seeks the hall(ball)of fame, where they will live on forever.

maybe my dog isn't so silly after all.
my ode to you, the ball.

what about simple bread?

When going to college I drove taxi. A fare bought me a loaf of crusty french style bread because I waited for him while he ran into the store. We ripped into her on the rest of the drive & it was great. We laughed & got crumbs all over the seats but its was amazing.

It really hit me. That guy & I did something that strangers have done since LONG before bible days. We broke bread together & shared time.

I know it sounds kinda dramatic or what ever, but it really was almost humbling thinking about that.

I love bread :)
