Lay Awake Wondering
Spygate, Lil Wayne, Kobe, and boogers on the brain
Last night I just couldn't sleep. The stuff that kept me awake felt arcane and oddly frivolous. So, in the spirit of this particular blog spot, I just have to share those meandering concerns with you.
Are boogers fully biodegradable, considering the trash they catch? And, if so, does that mean I can keep flicking them all over the streets of Los Angeles?
Is there a worst NBA analyst on the national stage than TNT's Doug Collins? Most of what comes out of his mouth is disposable time filler. He sounds way too high-strung for the gig and too many of the statistics he spews reveal absolutely nothing.
What makes people so opposed to properly investigating Spygate? Could it be that we just don't want to know any potential bad news? Are fans and media companies concerned that a thoroughly vetted NFL might leave them with a pristine and boring product similar to Major League Baseball? What if the NFL was crafting excellent storylines — that last Super Bowl was superior theater — and without fixing we'd be left with XFL-level narratives?
And has there ever been a catchier, dirtier top pop hit than Lil Wayne's "Lollypop"? Verse two, which begins:

Shawty said the nigga that she with ain't shit
Shawty said the nigga that she with ain't this
Shawty said the nigga that she with can't hit
Well shawty I'ma hit it hit it like I can't missis straight-up genius. Yeah, his druggy, Tupac-ian travails make dude seem a trainwreck waiting to happen, but I'd take Weezy's sizzurp-drenched twentysomething years over a regular human lifespan spent in sterile sobriety. Greatest, most charismatic pop star alive (for now), no question.
