About Me
- Lee
- --------------------I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert--------------------I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top--------------------Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me-----------------------For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping--------------------Because of thy indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down--------------------My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass--------------------But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever--------------------

I remember the first time I read that legendary article, it changed my life. Right after I read it I stopped watching sports forever.
