The future's uncertain and the end is always near

As the clock ticks closer to six thirty in the morning, and the garbage truck makes it's racket coming up the street, the drunken mind fights for life and this panda has only one thing on his mind. A sip of an old mixed drink of mine, (mostly cheap sake and a bit of cheap beer, I call it a sixteen sixty sake). In fairness, a stressed out sports fan needs a bit of juice to continue through the love and pain that life and sports can bring. At this moment it is uncertainty, the uncertainty of politics that always seem to seasonally correspond to the uncertainty of sports, and this particular sport would be Ducks muthafucking football, or as Vice sports would report it Division 1 College Football, well first off Vice sports can go fuck themselves, I never thought reporters could get worse but congrats to Vice they found a fucking way. This is important so I will not dilly dally on the lack of good journalism in an age where it should be twice as easy to create, I will delve into the lack of media coverage two of the most important parts of this fall season are getting. It is mind blowing that neither the Ducks, a team that was so close to the title it hurt an entire nation to see Urban Meyer lift a trophy instead of Mark Helfrich, or a great politician such as Bernie Sanders, a man who has always spoke of equality between humans in general, fixing the tax irregularities that billion dollar corporations abuse, and refinancing how America spends it's tax dollars, I don't know maybe spending a bit more on health care, perhaps education, oh and how about a little less on military action, or as the rest of the world calls it War! So what, I'm a recovering political junkie, drinking my worries away in the city of lights, the place where most American greats had to experience at sometime, some of them even died here, it doesn't mean I won't revel in the possibility of Oregon going to the playoffs for the second year in a row, though this season for the Ducks is as uncharted as the possibility of a sane human, being elected to the most powerful position in the world, the beauty of this is that the Ducks have an excellent coach with a good track record, and everyone thinks it will be impossible for them to get to the promise land without Mariota at the helm. For Bernie camp, no one trusts a man of his "mad" principles to run this country, yet any asshole who wants to throw it to the wolves is easily elected, though why let that stop you, it is a fact that if you run hard and fast you can be the one to win the race, also the rest look like feed for the slaughter though maybe I touched the LSD one too many times and have a different take on life. Though the facts are in the Ducks will have a bit of a learning curve to deal with, yet I believe they can overcome it, to be fair the Coaches Poll has them ranked fifth, and the AP has them at seventh, so I believe the American world agrees with this panda for once, though we shall see, for me it's back to my sixteen sixty sake, as always go Ducks, and on that note Panda out!!!
