Make A Wish

For those of us that only subscribe to ESPN on our cable, there has been a 2 week programming enclosed in SportsCenter that deals with the Make a Wish Foundation. There are actually some really incredible stories and my opinion of some of these athletes changes a bit when I watch the stories.

Today, I thought about what would be my Wishes... in no way am I belittling the Foundation which is an amazing group that provides hope and opportunity to kids that are facing incredible challenges with life. These kids are the true heros and inspiration for those of us that are fortunate enough to continue to live life free from pain. It's humbling to watch kids with the energy and spirit to get through anything that life throws at them. Adults don't always react the same way.

Here are the opportunities that I think would be fun to do with the Make A Wish Foundation:

• Play a set against Andre Aggasi in Arthur Ashe Stadium(US Open - Center Court)
• Play a round of golf with Michael Jordan (I suck at Basketball - probably not much better at golf)
• Coach the final game of the season for McCarney so we actually might win and go to the Big 12 Championship
  
• Play a song with U2.... any song would do
  
• Have a lesson with Edgar Meyer- he's the man!!!
• Go Hunting with Dick Cheney.... or not
• Sit in for Paula Abdul on one episode of American Idol
• Ride along in a Humvee in Iraq with my cousin Drew... nobody I'd trust more to be driving me
• Drive an Ice Cream Truck for a day.... and not the Ghetto Van that is seen in NW Rochester
• Hot Air Balloon Ride with Hazel through the mountains.... we could yodel for hours!!
  
• Recording session with Busta Rhymes
• Go Dancing with Carmen Electra (she's soon to be single... not that I care anymore:)
• Cook a meal with Wolfgang Puck!

And that's all I got to say about that.

It's Tuesday - T'ai Chi Chih session Numero Dos tonight. I have yet to feel the power of Chi, but it's still pretty early on in the sessions.

Song of the Day - Speaking of Busta..... I now am in the mood for some Busta. Gimme some mo'.... Big Show had enough? Gimme some mo'

Video of the Day - I watched The Constant Gardener last night and let me tell you - that movie was NOTHING like I thought it was going to be. I had no idea what it was going to be about but figured with a title such as that, it was probably a love story. Enter in a plot that deals with AIDS in Africa and Pharmaceutical cover ups..... and you get the 2005 version of Hotel Rwanda (which was another good movie). I thought The Constant Gardener was well done and very interesting. Took me a while to figure out what was real time and what was a flashback but it all comes together in the end... sort of. 4 stars out of 5 from me.

Webpage of the Day - Yahoo! tries so hard sometimes.... today they tackle the question as to why Women love Loser Guys!!! The question that has plagued my generation. I personally think her answer is crappy but that's probably also why I only get 50-60 reads a day on my blog page. It's not about quantity.... it's about quality!!!
