I Like Ohio State Things

(I think I said the best piece of that Cavaliers trade was gonna be Delonte West at one point. I still think I was right.

Minus Ben W and Wally Z, but those weren’t his signings, and are valuable and soon-to-be valuable expiring deals.)

I did a lot of thinking overnight about this all-cold shower movement, and I know once I do it, it’s in place for awhile.

That said, I’m starting tomorrow, because that’s just the way my brain works: Sunday is the first day of the week. When starting something new, you do it on Sunday.

Like I said, though – I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit.

By my estimation, this is kinda like skydiving, or bungee jumping, or cutting yourself – you just have to zone out and go. I’ve done none of these things, so there’s no frame of reference.

On the other hand, part of the point is to stand there and take the cold shower – like in Fight Club, where Edward Norton is getting the chemical burn on his hand, and he’s trying to zone out, but Brad Pitt is like, “no, you have to live this – that’s the whole point”. (Paraphrased.)

I’m sure this will all be so much better when it’s like in the script page of that post – where I can like walk into a chamber of cold water, blasting from multiple directions – but this will do for now.

One thing I will do today is watch Ohio State v USC, although I’m not half as pumped for it as one would think, considering I went to Ohio State and everything.

Truth be told, I never became a huge Ohio State fan – while in Columbus, I was involved heavily in the activities surrounding game-days, without actually watching any games.

Like one time my friend and I gave some beer to some 14-year olds. Another time it was some 15-year olds. Then for this one game, some teens of unknown age gave beer to us. (Read: karma.)

After that we’d all set stuff on fire, win or lose, so the games never mattered all that much.
