I Just Got Layed Off

So.......as i sit here and ponder the socio-economic ramifications of a Kobe-Shaq reunion in Los Angeles, I'm struck by the fact that IM BACK. 

And what a great time to be back, last time we met for a green tea boba and a morrocan mint tea Obama wasn't pres, Lehman bros. hand not collapsed, and believe it or not the michael phelps was still blazin. 

What really is the point behind college sports? I've been thinking...why would you watch amateurs when you can watch pros? I can somewhat understand if you go to that school, or if you bet on the game, or if its the first 2 weekends of march madness, but otherwise, where is the excitement? In college football, you have to wait 40 days from the end of the season to watch the title game....but hey, you gotta love capitalism right? In college basketball, the skill level is nowhere near the pro-game. The shot clock is 11 seconds longer per possession which leads to a slower paced game at times, the three point shot is from 19 feet and maybe worst of all you have to listen to espn talk all night about why pitt beat uconn. Who the fuck cares? Tomorrow Pitt will lose to louisville or some other for-profit organization masquerading as an academic institution. 

What's the deal with that anyway? When did college become a business in this country? Is any education really worth 40k+ a year? I don't think so. Anyway...all I'm saying is if my college gets any money, make sure obama gets a piece too.
