I really really hope it wouldn’t have been any different.
So there’s this road that my fiancée and I use when we go running. It’s basically a shortcut between two roads, and the only things on the road are entrances to both an elementary school and a middle school.
A couple of weeks ago I went running by myself, and due to my inability to pace myself, I wound up walking down this road on the way back home instead of running it. It was getting towards dismissal time. There were teachers outside, busses, etc.
And now that I remember their eyes on me, I’m considering how different my experience would have been had I been a single black man instead of a single white man.

I just saw this commercial and it really pissed me off.
Let me walk you through it:
“He” …some unnamed person, was part of music history, producing records? Maybe doing studio recordings for more famous musicians…someone we might not have heard of who is the un-sung hero of American music.
“He” it turns out, is Jack Daniels. Jack Daniels, a drink that was, admittedly, present at CGBGs and the sunset strip, and was “Frank Sinatra’s right hand man.”
Yes, Jack Daniel’s was Frank Sinatra’s right hand man, he was an alcoholic. He would drink a bottle of Jack a day, and now this company is taking pride in that?
Frank Sinatra, who referred to Alcohol as “man’s worst enemy.”
Screw these assholes…alcohol isn’t the un-sung hero of American music. Alcohol has, on the other hand, killed some of the best musicians and song-writers of all time: Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, Hank Williams, Townes van Zandt.
I’m down for a drink on Friday night…but this is a celebration of the culture of over-indulgence that has done far more to harm music than to help it. Slapping a “drink responsibly” sticker on the end of an ad bragging about being Frank Sinatra’s drink of choice, when that drink nearly killed him, is a whole mountain of wrong.
I didn’t know why this commercial bugged me. Hank summed it up far better than I would have.

Tumblr Gets Deep
I like this because it reminds me of all of the hilarious, lost moments of late-night weirdness I have had in my life…I LoLd like seven times reading this.
I love this.
The Miami Herald’s Manny Navarro took a ride up to Dunedin and snapped a pic of a banner hanging from the ballpark’s facade. I’m not here to tell anyone how to spend their time - I’m reposting Spring Training twitpics after all - but that’s what he did.
I know I’m just getting over the flu, but this pic is making me dizzy. The wall on the right looks like the floor, so it’s making my brain think the camera is held sideways. Am I the only one?
Also, I’m excited that Bad Spring Training TwitPics is back.
