Over the past twenty years I have spent too much time alone in the car, having remarkable conversations with myself while staring out the front window. In the rare moments that I was comfortable enough to share thoughts with unsuspecting friends and my wonderful wife, they usually tell me to write it down/record it/blog it. I had always shrugged it off as silly ideas born from "Windshield Time"...until now.
Here is what to expect:
I hope to entertain you with sports and music topics that take an idea to the end...some of my initial WT posts will show why Arnold Palmer is the most beloved athlete in American history, Babe Ruth is the greatest, Ali and Nicklaus are underrated, and what the difference is between music (Elvis, The Beatles) and big-boy music (Sinatra, Led Zeppelin). An All-Time Celtic team does not include Paul Pierce, an All-Time Yankee team does not include Derek Jeter, and Tim Tebow is not a top-10 NFL prospect from the 2008 UF team he led to a National Championship.
Social critiques will mostly focus on stupidity and hypocrisy. The dangling apostrophe annoys me to the point of exhaustion, as do expressions like "control your own destiny" and "110%." There is no excuse for bad teeth. A recent WT topic that started in Cross City, FL has me thinking about the relationship of obesity and superstition to natural selection, and how that will impact the future of good-looking, free-thinking people. The Catholic Church has been a force for evil since its inception, but is just a standout in a timeless list of charlatans, voodoo doctors, and sycophants.
Let's not pretend...I want to get discovered, published, televised, pimped out, paraded around, and rich. Not by rehashing the same old bullshit (yes, I curse) but by saying out loud what you might have been thinking.
