A bumper sticker that says it all — Connie Schultz – cleveland.com
My first-ever bumper sticker was gone in the time it took me to drive home from college for a weekend visit in 1976.I was a journalism student thrilled to discover that I could finally ask an impertinent question and not be sent to my room when I pulled my battered Pontiac LeMans into my parents’ driveway.

My friend Kyle is the best writer I know and an awesome guy. Better yet … he’s blogging again!
See, back before “blog” or even “weblog” were even words, Kyle had an exquisitely crafted site where he’d post these amazing stories and essays. Every article made me jealous as a writer, and I remember thinking stuff like, “Damn, I wish I could do that!”
Well, six years later at least I can say I’m still trying. In the meantime, he’s focused his writing on mid-major college basketball. With hoops season just around the corner bound to take up most of his time, enjoy this while it lasts.

Make a list of every TV station you flip past, the billions of websites that aren’t worth your time, the roads not taken, the members of the opposite sex you wouldn’t bang if they were the last person on earth. Feel better yet? You are powerful, you impose great failure, you are the Great Rejecto and if they don’t like it, fuck ‘em.
