Couple Things

First and foremost, I greatly miss Rachel. She's too good not to be missed.

Secondly, I hate the media. All this coverage of Tiger Woods is, while intriguing, not worth anyone's time. Why delve deeper into another's personal life than one would let anyone into theirs? To make manners worse, there's all this dramatic talk of "he was perfect, now what" and "what kind of legend do we have to admire now?" bouncing around. Really? Who truly idolizes athletes and how does one go about measuring this idolatry and reverence? I think the media is making this a big deal, as they do with most things, when it's nothing. This is a man whose life is breaking apart and ESPN and TMZ want us along for every development! No thank you. Tiger Woods was never a role model. He threw constant fits on the golf course, swears like a sailor on the course, and is clearly a selective prick in all his interviews. In the end, he is human and always has been. Whether or not one sees it depends on how far up the ass one's head has gone. For most people, it seems to have gone pretty far.
