Yavin4's JournalI've offered to spread my love and no one wants it?!?!?!
I got hearts. Perfectly DU good hearts to give away.
I got love to spread around. Who doesn't have a heart and would like one?
Let me know.
Wow. Life is something. Isn't it? I'm going through some personal stuff.
I just found out some shit that knocked my ass for a loop. I can't really share it with you because it's really none of my business, but the information is out there for everyone to see.
“pad kid poured curd pulled cod"-- Toughest tongue twister of all time.
If anyone can say this [phrase] ten times quickly, they get a prize, said Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, a psychologist from MIT who specializes in speech errors as a way of understanding normal brain functions, and one of the creators of the mouth-boggling phrase.

Seattle Seahawks just demonstrated to America why income inequality is a loser.
One theory I heard as to why the Seahwaks (and 49ers) are so good and well-balanced is that they do not pay their QB (Wilson) a ton of money. In the NFL, teams have salary caps, and they can only spend a certain amount each year on their players. A teams with a "franchise" QB tend to give that one player a significant chunk of their entire payroll.
IOW, franchise QBs like Peyton Manning are the top 1% earners in the NFL, and because they make soooo much money, their teams don't have enough resources to spend on other areas of the team like their defense. So, you may have a great QB, but a weak defense. When these payroll unbalanced teams play a payroll balanced team, they get crushed like the Broncos just did.
I know that this is just football, and many of you will poo-poo this post. However, this is how you can quickly and easily explain why income inequality in the NFL makes your overall team weak which can also be applied to real life.
To all the Seattle and Denver fans visiting NYC, did you bring anything with you?
