Dwayne Wade- A Sub-Par College Player

I'm blogging today from the library at the university around my way and I must say its eerily quiet, even for a library. I'm guessing that has something to do with the whole spring break thing though. I came over here to attempt to gather research on possible conclusions to The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, but that seems to be a bit difficult and not very interesting, so I decided to blog.

My most recent means of employment has involved catering to the needs of elderly wealthy people with too much time and money on their hands and I must say its a pretty miserable job. There is little money to be made and the majority of the people that come into the place piss me off. For starters, anyone that would spend nearly 16,000 dollars a year to belong to a country club without a golf course is an absolute moron. I keep hearing it's about connections and it's a way of life, but I think its all a load of crap. Making matters worse, the majority of the members have a pompous attitude about them and act as if they are superior human beings. Just because your old, still alive and have money doesn't impress me and there have been times I'd rather talk with Jay. It gets real interesting when they host their social events and a whole lot of these people come together and mingle. Everyone is trying to put on a good front and impress one another and basically there isn't a real person in the whole club. The women all talk about how great their children are and how they are excelling in life, but if you ever see anyone under the age of eighteen enter the place, they appear to be more miserable than Duke fans following the Blue Devils early exit from the NCAA tournament. As for the men, well they always attempt to talk about sports, but yet they either know nothing or just refuse to call our the idiots. Last week, I was tending the bar and overheard a conversation between four elderly gentleman. The conversation started with the Terrapins and eventually moved on to the difference between the NBA and the NFL draft. Supposedly, there are no real surprises in the NFL and the NBA is full of superstars who never excelled at the lower level. This guy was going on and on about how every player that succeeds in the NFL is extremely well known and well heard of prior to their NFL success and the majority of stars in the NBA were complete no names prior to their success. In the course of his idiotic rant, he mentioned that no one had ever heard of Dwayne Wade or Kevin Durant in college, but now their two of the top players in the game. The funny thing is not one person he was talking with had the balls to call this man out and simply inform him that Wade nearly took Marquette to the National Championship game and Durant was only one of the best players in the whole country at Texas. But in this guy's mind, Wade and Durant were simply sub-par collegiate athletes, who excel at the NBA game. I guess its my fault for listening to him though, I really should have just walked away when he mentioned that Tim Tebow will be the next great thing in the NFL.

The big tourney is getting started this week and I'm hoping to get out for some of the games. As for the winner, I'm somewhat partial to the Jayhawks.

Well, I've spent enough time rambling on about silly old people and college basketball, I guess it's time to get back to ol' Harry.
