fantasy football, that is... for those who love numbers, it is a delightful playground... less time consuming (and therein much less precise and therein, much more challenging to manipulate as predictability is much less than in, say, basketball or baseball, which is why those who understand numbers win basketball and baseball fantasy leagues more than football... the trophy case reflects this well) than basketball or baseball, but still fun especially when shared with friends...
even when the numbers bring defeat by a favorite player's hand, the delight is in the understanding of just how it happened as each point was observed floating from the actions on the field to the computer screen before the league even updated the page... the understanding of maths, a lost artful pleasure modern humans look passed in their rush to their delusional rewards... blessed are those who can still play the game...

musical distractions
If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?
dumb poll (above), smart responders
all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...
SEARCH ME
the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ... ...
