The Back of a Book

Doesn't this sound like something you'd read on the back of a novel?

His mind wandered across hundreds of worlds, across thousands of battlefields. Worlds of air, wind, clouds and tempests, great cities rising from the backs of colossal flying creatures endlessly feeding as they soared through the trackless sky.

Worlds of fire where ash fell from the sky like rain, molten rock ran in steaming rivers and armies of scaled horrors battled each another across fields of writhing flame.

Green realms, like Aris, worlds that housed millions of life forms each more fantastic than the last.

He had brought the order of the Telek Confederacy to them all. Those who did not willingly submit were annihilated, their worlds remade to suit the needs of their conquerors. Some worlds, those who resisted too long or too bravely, were made examples. Purged of all life, stripped of their resources and consigned as refuse worlds, trash heaps, mass graves, prisons.

He had had a hand in it all. A mighty captain of House Erion; murderer of innocents.

Back from Break

Spring break was great but now it's back to work.

I can't help but think the economy will rebound if we continue to throw unthinkable amounts of money at it. A trillion is a thousand billions. A thousand billions.

Number Three-I think Dwayne Wade is a great player and seems to be a good person, but the calls he got against the Pistons last game reminded me of why I hate the NBA sometimes and why I continue to support a Pistons team who won the title in 2004 WITHOUT a bonafide NBA superstar. That may never happen again. How would a team get to the free throw line?

Wade fell on Arron Afflalo and rode Stuckey like a rodeo bull. Ok I'm done. But nobody better breathe on D-Wizzle. Ok, for real, I'm done.

Michigan Basketball will continue its return to relevance next year with a great recruiting class and the return of Manny Harris and (hopefully) DeShawn Sims.

On the home front my car was so covered in pollen today I had to hose it off when I got home from school. It's probably because I have to park in an oak forest at the end of winding trail at work. I'm pretty sure I saw a bobcat the other day. It may have been a regular cat, but I don't think so.
