I just watched the Cleveland Cavaliers choke away Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and I've got a question. Do you think it feels like we collectively seem to think it feels when you give a very important game away, little by little, and then all at once? It has to, right? And, moreover, if it does in fact feel as bad as we think, you'd also have to think there will be something truly profound and maybe even sublime waiting down the line to make it feel like this truly horrible experience could possibly be worth it in the long run. You'd simply have to.
I don't know what happens after you die but I think that because we don't know, it doesn't matter. Sure, there are spook stories about the place with the fire and the brimstone, and, sure, those spook stories have pretty much always been about bamboozling people and relieving them of their money, but that doesn't mean anything. We don't know. So what's the point of worrying about it? That said, I am terrified of death. I am terrified of death but not because I worry about what's on the other side, but, rather, within the context of it representing life not lived. This is, I suppose, a statement about life. I still want to do so many things, man. I still want to do so many things. And see so many things. And know so many more people. I'm bumping up against 48 years young in a few weeks and I am moved —— and kind of impressed —— by the length and breadth of the list of things I still want to do while I can capably pilot this meat mech.
I don't know what happens after you die but I do know that Laura Juškaitė is a hell of a hooper and feel true joy when I remember that she plays for my team. The Toronto Tempo and the Phoenix Mercury are playing a heck of a ballgame right now. It'll probably end before I finish writing this, though.
Or maybe not.
But, yeah, I think that just about
