Really?

If you ever leave me baby,
Just leave the morphine at my door.

Really?

I was channel surfing on the car radio the other day when I caught these lyrics to a song.  Most songs that we listen to are based on life experiences by the songwriter. Hopefully the author who penned this song was just being humorous with words. It would be unfortunate if he was going through a tough time and resorting to a quick fix.

Toby Mac, the Christian Rap artist, gives us a different alternative when dealing with a setback:

We lose our way
We get back up again
It's never to late to get back up again.

One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked  down
But not out forever.



Just recently an NBA basketball rookie spent $10,000 on $1 lottery tickets for a large Powerball jackpot.

Really?

Dude, your in the NBA!  Most kids your age do not get the chance to play professionally, let alone have the chance to make millions of dollars.

This player's simple reply when questioned about spending that much money on lottery tickets,

"It was either that or spend it in the clubs."

(Note to self: all those lottery tickets and he still didn't win.)

I guess donating the money to a charity or giving back to your community would be a little too much to ask.
