I wonder if I could get voted into the Barista hall of fame for delivering legendary service, going "above and beyond the call of duty," if I made lattes with a bloody elbow.

I mean think about it... if every pitcher pitched a game - ok, an important game - with a bloody ankle, would it be so special? Would this make the news?

It's like the Redskins, right? If we didn't change coaches and players every 3 seconds we would never make the news because we're not good enough to ever make the news. The only news we make is what a freakin' let-down we've been for the last - almost - 15 years.

Maybe everyone should cut themselves, or get some sort of incurable disease, or adopt a child from a third degree country, or be a rapper from the slums who rose to the top from the very bottom... maybe then we could all just go about our lives without jaded visions of what a hero is.
