My Friends Do Me So Right, I'm Lucky This Far, or Maybe It's Karma

I cannot believe that I made such an egregious error, but I failed to congratulate Andrew Tuegel for correctly naming "A Rush of Blood to the Head" by Coldplay as last Friday's Song of the Day. Tuegel, now that I know about your Chelsea fandom, please promise that you are not going to send any of Roman Abramovich's henchmen after me for this gross oversight.Seriously, I don't want to take a swim in the Brazos wearing concrete boots any time in the near future or ever.

Upon Further Review

This week's edition of "Upon Further Review" begins with a comment that I received today on my recent post on the Glasgow Rangers v. Glasgow Celtic rivalry that might qualify as the most interesting comment that I have received so far in the 2+ year history of this blog. I'm not entirely sure, but from what I can surmise, it came from a guy named Darren who is a fan of Glasgow Celtic, is a socialist, and is also quite possibly Scottish.


Those three possibilities along with the actual content of his comment (which I found tobe very insightful) may not seem incredibly interesting, but I find it fascinating how people navigate the internet and establish these brief, momentary connections with people that they will probably never cross paths with ever again.


As recently as 25 years ago, there was probably no way for someone who is a Scottish soccer fan to comment on the thoughts of an American law student unless those people had some type of pre-existing relationship or acquaintance. For members of my generation, it is probably very easy to take the internet and all of its associated technology for granted, but there are times when I sit and wonder what my children or grandchildren will take for granted that will simply blow my mind.
