First of all....
...The Saint Paul Saints are awesome.
Minor league baseball is awesome.
At some point, The Saints were owned by Bill Murray...awesome! Scroll down a little ways, he is also apparently the team psychologist (thanks to laura for giving me the tip and thereby rendering my life a tad more complete.
Second of all, this is mostly just an excuse to post this video clip.
I fucking love Bill Murray.

Sometimes you see weird shit...
...on the Manhattan bridge.
And sometimes bizarre things are happening, too.
I bike across the Manhattan bridge at least twice a day, most days. Today, I was wearing a backpack that brought my body weight up from 165 lbs to 210 lbs. I don't think that's healthy. That's neither here nor there.
Today, I saw three things that made me shake my head. Two of them made me smile. See if you can you guess them in a 'how well do i know kevin?' pop quiz:
A/ Family of tourists collectively ride into the oncoming biker lane in order to get into the frame of a photo being taken by dad, who has dismounted from his bike in the middle of the lane designated for bikers going in my direction.
B/ Guy has dismounted from his bicycle to scale the railing between the bike lane and the place where the train runs to smoke a J and stare into the Hudson.
C/ Man is huffing and puffing on a mountain bike pulling his baby in a Burley trailer. Closer inspection reveals that his baby is actually a small dog. Even closer inspection reveals that the dog is having a fucking awesome time.
If I knew how to put letters upside-down on blogger, I would post the answers below, newspaper-jumble-style.
Miss you bunches,

5 musical performers...
...that changed my life in the last two years.
So, repeat thought from last week, law school makes it difficult to devote any brainergy at all to thinking, let alone what thoughts might be blog-worthy. And I refuse to make my blog about the life of a "1L" and what it takes to survive. Naw, that ain't me.
A while ago, I thought a little bit about whether and how my taste in music has evolved since I left college. I feel like a lot of people apex during those 3-6 years because there's downtime to think about shit like how you might broaden your musical horizons. More recently, discovery hasn't happened so often, but I feel like when it does, I've come across something important.
List (some with little qualifiers, some with no qualifiers. I am pressed for time, yo).
1)Bo Diddley. (Probably him most of any of them. Dude changed everything about music for me and for the world.)
2) Lil Wayne. (Knew he was good, didn't know how good. Still remember his songs with Birdman from middle school before I knew who he was. The link is non-representative of what I love about him, but it's weird and awesome. Better)
3) The Mountain Goats. (So prolific that even though I've loved him since early in college, every new/old song with new/old lyrics I listen to speaks to me in incredible ways. His new stuff is less big for me, but there's so much old stuff that I'll be listening and learning for some time to come, I think. He's also hilarious.)
4) Dabrye (Shake your ass.)
5) Flat Duo Jets (Thanks, Athens.)
Hopefully someone reading this listens to something from the list and likes it. Even if that doesn't happen, I can be happy knowing that music still matters to me.

I know...
...kinda lame, but law school takes up a lot of time!
From Muggsy Bogues' Twitter:
"You know what's not cool? Confederate flags. You know what is cool? Horses."
Fucking. Profound. (Seriously, the man's statement resonated with my own feelings on both of those things).
Here's a picture of Mr. Bogues with Manute Bol (coincidentally, also an awesome guy):
aaaaand, here's a picture of horses from when I went to England.
Horses are cool.

P.S. Keep an eye out for a new post on my other blog Brooklyn Consumed.
