Do you hate self-help books? Go postal at the endless new age bullshit that tells you
Tony Robbins style that you are the only one making yourself a neurotic mess? You've
been right all along! Give up. Don't even try to be calm.
Then you might get that board out of your ass and lighten up. Anyway, that is what a
british journalist is pushing.

U.S. Open in beautiful San Francisco!
Two best stories from 2012 Open : Michael Thompson and Jim Furyk.
Both for excellence and high standards that are likely to be overlooked since neither of
them won the tournament. Congratulations to Mr. Webb, of course, but let's also shine a
light on these two guys who in their own way helped perpetuate the Open honor, or
mystique, or legend, tradition, you pick your praiseworthy noun. Furyk for many things
but here I am referring to his choice on 18 green to attempt an IMPOSSIBLE bunker shot
- I would guess because the crowd demanded it - costing him a shot and dropping him to a
tie for 4th place. He could have played safe out to the left from his spot in the trap and left
himself a shot at par, but the only way he could WIN was to hole the shot and force a
playoff. He knew it was a thousand to one attempt. A determined, grinding, glacial-erosion
player like himself had to be weighing all the factors. And for the crowd, he chose a bunker
shot directly at the pin which violated the old Tommy Armour maxim : "hit the shot that
makes your next shot easy."
As would happen most of the other 998 times he tries this shot, it comes out badly
and leaves him off the green with little chance of making par. To recreate it for yourself,
take your cat's litter box and throw it up on the roof of the garage. Then put a golf ball under
it. Take the push broom out of it's hiding place. Use it to try to nudge the ball into your gas
tank.
Hats off to Jim for a fantastic grinding tournament and for sharing it with all of us. He
inspired the hell out of me all week.
All Michael Thompson did was outplay the entire field with low scores Thursday and
Sunday. By low scores, I mean he beat by multiple strokes the current entire assembled
aristocracy of golf. His 66 on Thursday made all the papers. Low score by three shots.
Fucking epic. Then he comes back to earth with rounds in the seventies Friday and
Saturday. To then have the stones to Sunday shoot a 67 day's low round takes incredible
skill, focus, and determination. My shaggy head is bare to you, too, sir. I hope the quarter-
million dollar paycheck is just compensation for impressing the hell out of us.

4) Negroes Knees Grow: A brief monologue on race in Los Angeles Unified
I learned from some introspection, some personal experience, and many years inside
LAUSD classrooms, that institutional racism is alive and well.
My modest proposal: Hire, chain-gang style, for $5 a day, the entire felonius
population of the State Prisons to teach in our California classrooms. It will
have the effect of reducing our State Budget by about $50B, and will better
prepare the students for the world we are leaving for them.

Give your community a hug and a kiss. If we make our homes places of
peace, love and creation, all of this political bullshit will be much more manageable,
really. You can start with something as simple as opening your blinds. And if your
neighbors are all assholes, congratulations! They probably feel the same thing. That is
a great place to start.

Military suicides. They are our guys and our girls. They are products of an over- militarized culture, "fresh" from our victory in the largest war in the history of the planet. Lots
of people still walking around and voting and waving flags and that is all good. I am
NOT anti-military. Far from it. What I am is anti-death.
And our soldiers are getting out of West Asia, coming home and killing themselves
EVERY FREAKING DAY.
It is too late for you. Now you can't say you didn't know. So if you live, work, play, walk, run, bike, drive, vote, buy, sell, or ANYTHING in this country, you and I have a great debt to
pay to the soldiers, past and present. I don't know what to do. Help me out. My first
idea is just to walk into the VA in WLA and shake some hands and pass around some
cards. Do some free tutoring. Maybe it can help us both. I sure could use the work.
