They read their sports pages know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans pro or con over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.
Growing up in Huntington Beach you were either a traditional sports athlete a skateboarder or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years did a little BMX racing as a kid and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.
Nah I don't watch TV either apart from a few sports programmes. I just don't have the time.
I don't read a lot of the sports because I think people sometimes either build it up or you have this guy that hates sports that is going to write bad about it so I figure I'm not going to read it. Because I'm not going to let him put an idea into my head.
Read the news section of the newspaper and there is confusion and uncertainty a world buffeted by large forces people neither understand nor control. But turn to the sports section and it's all different.
There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately neither of them works.
You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work.
I'm really not interested in other people's opinions because I think frankly most of those opinions are either misinformed and adding to this endless ball of hot air we have in our society where everyone thinks their opinion is valuable and sacred and what counts.
Do you know what we are those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society's tools neither more nor less.
Stabilizing the euro is one thing healing the culture that surrounds it is another. A world in which material values are everything and spiritual values nothing is neither a stable state nor a good society. The time has come for us to recover the Judeo-Christian ethic of human dignity in the image of God.
A society deadened by a smothering network of laws while finding release in moral chaos is not likely to be either happy or stable.
Society is a republic. When an individual tries to lift themselves above others they are dragged down by the mass either by ridicule or slander.
Where justice is denied where poverty is enforced where ignorance prevails and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress rob and degrade them neither persons nor property will be safe.
There is not a soul who does not have to beg alms of another either a smile a handshake or a fond eye.
Laughter is day and sobriety is night a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both more bewitching than either.
Neither science nor the politics in power nor the mass media nor business nor the law nor even the military are in a position to define or control risks rationally.
A person that much interested in science is going to neglect his social life somewhat but not completely because that isn't healthy either. So one has to work it out according to one's own inclinations how one wants to proportion these things.
Science has produced such powerful weapons that in a war between great powers there would be neither victor nor vanquished. Both would be overwhelmed in destruction.
What we must understand is that the industries processes and inventions created by modern science can be used either to subjugate or liberate. The choice is up to us.
Science and technology multiply around us. To an increasing extent they dictate the languages in which we speak and think. Either we use those languages or we remain mute.
All science is either physics or stamp collecting.
No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit either in science or in practical life.
Many things have been said about what happened but I don't know either. Maybe someday. One thing I'm sure of is that all the things that have happened to me good and bad happy and sad have made me what I am today.
I only really watch sport. That's where you see real joy. I don't like watching much else on TV because it's generally either twisted or sad.
