More bum news

The bum on the bus approached me again and asked me what he thought
about the whole Olympic tailwind issue. (a tailwind is a wind that
pushes u from behind, speeds u up. Often use in airplane flight
contexts. I know this cuz the bum asked me about it so I wikisearched
it on my iPhone.)

The story is that some olympic runner guy broke a record. The judges
are questioning whether he should be accredited with this because a
wind happened to be helping him while he was running.
I honestly don't know what to think of this.
Should he get it?
Does it matter since all previous record-breaking runners also ran
outdoors?
Should I care?
Now here's another question for you.
If there was a headwind (or whatever the opposite of a tailwind is),
would he get extra credit if he still broke the record?
That would be amazing. But the fact is that running outdoors has its
random naturally-induced drawbacks. It's not his fault thad God
decided to help him like "Angels in the Outfield". (remember that
movie?)
He's a winner in MY almanac.

Anyway so this bum got more specific about the origins of his bummyness.
He's convinced that he is gifted with a heightened ESP (extra-sensory
perception).

Ta' loco.

This ESP thingy is basically a hardcore collection of brain-type-sixth-
sense nonsense. He quoted Einstein, who said that we only use but a
small fraction of our brains. Mr. Bum thinks he can expand his ESP
abilities and use it for the following:

- Telepathy
- Telekinetics
- Spidey-sense-type stuff
- Mind-reading

This dude thinks he's the little kid with the spoon in The Matrix.

Ta' LOCO.

LOVING THIS BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!
im skeptical that a tailwind can actually affect a human due to its size, it more appropriate when speaking on flying objects such as planes due to their speed
its hog-wash, those judges are hating on this guy!!!

Ok so I am going to say something since Tony is so into ur blog.

First of all congrats on starting this blog thing. U r a crazy guy wit crazy thoughts so it is cool to hear it. It is entertaining also. And u have so much to tell.

The wind thing is interesting, and fact that will he get extra points for doing it against the wind. The others could've have done it too, obviously the guy runs quite fast.

The bum guy story is pretty cool, i hope one day he could read ur blog about him

And it is true there's always those bum people in our lives, those who read-it-all-know-it-all and know every scholar in the world and have a say on "religion" or "God", but experience speaks so loudly. And our lives speak even louder of who God is because of Love.

I dont think that it was a "tailwind" that helped this guy win the race. I think the "bum" misunderstood the story. The actual event was that the runner "brokewind" and thus, slowed down the rest of the runners and he advanced into first place thus winning the race.

btw, love these blogs. Keep it up.
