“… it felt as if I was driving through the outer reaches of my memory, where I never knew what the next stretch would look like but still recognised it as soon as it appeared. It was a little like reading a novel again, where you might feel the approach of something familiar but, however hard you might try, be wholly unable to remember it before it happens, and the event or the description gains that special fullness which arises when the seemingly new, happening as if for the first time, encounters the memory of how it was the last time, and the space between your inner version of reality and external reality for a moment stands open, until the external, which has a much more powerful presence, obliterates the internal reality, and the world becomes one again.”
–From Karl Ove Knausgaard’s “Winter” (2016).

FPC Cheerleaders honor Kobe???? This guy paid a woman that said he raped her 2.5 million dollars. That was just four years ago. While this was a tragic event, this guy was no hero. He would be in a sexual predator database if he wasn’t a multimillionaire.
Stacey Alfonso says
It is a VERY sad day when people choose to worship “sports figures” or those with so-called notoriety, rather than respect those military individuals who have lost their lives and limbs giving these thoughtless people freedom. Yes, it is VERY SAD when any loved one dies, but for the news media to beat to death only the one so-called “famous” person, and only “briefly” mention the other 7 who lost their lives and NEVER give a thought to the two Military Service Men who lost their lives in the plane crash in Afganistan, shows you how illiterate and ridiculous human beings have degraded their thought process only to so-called “hero worship.
