Radio Talk Show host, Larry King also wrote a weekly column in the USA Today for a number of years. It would not have truly fit the criteria for a column one might think because it was just a group of thoughts formed into single sentences. Something like: "Michael Jordan-what a player."
I always enjoyed reading this weekly streams of consciousnesses and since I have had a difficult time paring down my thoughts to put into this blog, I thought I might try it. So here goes...Larry King style.
I go through binge periods in my life. Right now it is donuts...Birmingham offers some great dining choices with great variety in barbecue, pizza and ethic cuisine...I want to see NYPD Blue on Netflix. It is one of the greatest TV shows of all-time...I like animals better than "animal people"...Speaking of not liking something. Cubs fans. Need I say more?
I have found that screaming "Roll Tide" or "War Eagle" in church is the equivalent of saying "Amen" for some. Please stop! Resist that urge to shout your allegiance whenever the name of "your"school is mentioned.
Deer are cute in movies and in cartoons but they are deadly killers on the highway...He is a tremendously talented baseball player but I just cannot root for Bryce Harper...Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch is one of my favorite baseball writers...Is it just me or do Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus look like twins?
Broadcast network TV is dying a slow death. Cable networks like AMC are producing much more compelling programs...Did CBS jump the gun too soon when they hired Stephen Cobert to replace David Letterman? Jon Stewart would have been my choice of the two....Ted Cruz looks like Joseph McCarthy to me in more ways than one.
People who don't understand why Christians would go to dangerous parts of the world to share the gospel do not understand a belief in something worth dying for...this world is not my home.
The majority of Americans either have no life insurance or the wrong kind of insurance...buy term and invest the difference....There are way more good football announcers than baseball announcers!...Baseball is the hardest game to call. Easiest? Basketball...believe me!
Chicken drumsticks make much more sense than wings. More meat!...
You know, not every "old" person who tries to give you advice is as crazy as you make them out to be. Sometimes they do know a better way. Just because they are older doesn't mean their ideas lose merit or credibility. That being said, we old guys still have a lot to learn!
Where is the "don't like at all" button on Facebook?...Yes, I love my wife, mother, father, sister, sons, daughters, cousins but I will not be bullied into "share if you....."! There should be a "this post is stupid" button.
Okay, I'm done for now. And to think Larry King got paid for doing this. What a country!
Thanks for reading!
Jeff
