The Way I See It
I mentioned Quantcast, a traffic tracking site, last week. It seems that about 20 percent of the traffic to Life 2000 comes from "syndicators," or links not affiliated with the site. Blogspot is number one on the list but I want to thank three sites for their assistance.

I hope you have a great remainder of the week.

The Game Will Not Be Made Up: Page 31
It's always been exciting for me to fuck teammates's wives. I like the sense of danger and the knowledge I have something to hold over them when I need it. I don't fear being called a homewrecker. If a guy wants to try to trash me in the press, he'll receive much more shit than he gives. Deep down, hate rules my emotions much more than love. I don't fear hating someone when necessary. I know most of you would say you don't hate anyone. You just “strongly dislike” a few people. That's weak. It's OK to hate people. Hate and love are not opposites. If you hate someone, at least you care. Apathy is the worst emotion of all. If you just don't give a fuck anymore, you know you're in trouble.
I have no diseases or kids and I'd like to keep it that way. I certainly don't want to let a one-night stand make millions of dollars at my expense. I don't want to have seven kids with six mothers like some athletes. It sure wouldn't be fair to the kid. I'm not Pat Robertson but a little personal responsibility isn't so bad.
Rachel was different for me. I think that's why I was so attracted to her so quickly. She was funny, kind-hearted, beautiful and determined. I think she could have been a great wife, partly because she didn't want to be a wife. She asked me more than once why I'd ever consider spoiling such a great relationship by introducing a contract to love, honor and obey. She said if those feelings didn't come without a contract, there was no way they'd come with one.
The only contract she'd sign was a prenupital agreement because she didn't want me to think she was only after my money. I'm not the most romantic guy on Earth but those words were music to my ears. I remember Gene Simmons of Kiss saying that if you want to marry your girlfriend, buy her a house because it's cheaper than marriage. That line stuck with me.
On the other hand, I had several teammates who went through divorce. They had more trouble than the guys who went through palimony suits. If I was afraid I couldn't be a good husband, I was terrified I'd be a bad father. I never wanted a wife or kids.

The Game Will Not Be Made Up: Page 30
Rachel was the best girlfriend I ever had. She reminded me of Sandra Bullock in many ways, which was a good thing. She's my favorite actress and my dream girl. I was able to meet her at some awards show several years ago and I've admired her ever since.
For most of my life, I had a certain type of woman I liked. Basically, the more you looked liked Sandra Bullock, the more I liked you. She was a nice lady when I met her. She was already married to that guy from American Chopper, Jesse James. What a weird name. When I think of Jesse James, I think of the Old West outlaw. I've met him too though and he was a cool guy. I don't ride motorcycles but I've been able to connect some friends with custom bikes through Jesse.
Most of my ex-girlfriends had male-sounding names. Mel, Jon, Alex, Sam, for instance. I wanted to date someone who enjoyed sports. She didn't have to know how to throw a sinker but she did need to understand baseball a little. I could teach her about baseball. I just couldn't be with someone who hated the game. If you're a doctor, are you going to date someone who hates medicine?
So I developed a test for a prospective new girlfriend who said she was a sports fan. I'd say something like, "That slamdunk by the pitcher sure was great. I can't believe he threw the puck past the forward and scored a touchdown."
If the woman said, "Yeah, that was great," I knew she was clueless about sports and a liar. Like I said, I wasn't auditioning for some game show. I respect honesty over everything. If anything, I'm too honest and not tactful enough. I didn't need some woman to try to kiss my ass by lying.
If she said, "That makes no sense! Don't be a jerk and try to confuse me," I knew there was potential.
I'd be gone for two weeks at a time. I needed someone who could accept that and be faithful. Sure, there are groupies on the road but I never succumbed to one of them. The risks far outweigh the rewards. Ask Kobe Bryant. I love women but I prefer women I know. It's hard for me to trust. My heart is like a nightclub with a velvet rope. Not just anyone can gain admittance.
