What can we learn from freestyle rappers?

What can we learn from freestyle rappers?


This is a huge missing link.  I want to activate the medial portions of my prefrontal cortex(mPFC) so I can apply my rhyming skills to freestyle.  I wonder if there is an amino acid, like inositol, which could stimulate a particular part of the pre-frontal cortex, and you could learn to relax the other part of it.  Yummy--I believe this is the future!

Kimmage Counter-sues

Sportswriter Paul Kimmage

from isle of Eire

Faced McQuaid/ Verbruggen

drew  their fire

His friends backed him up in ire

The suit has gone from pan to fire

Now Paul K is counter-suing

suspicions of fraud are brewing

against Verbruggen and UCI

Now it's Hein and Pats' turn to cry

With war chest raised for  defense

Paul K. and pals now play offense

 Seek damages for rude comments, 

accusations, arguments,

defamation, loss of rep, . .

This Ride will still get  Rougher yet

Floyd Landis must be feeling chipper

His profile is now so much hipper

Ditto Frankie Andreu and wife

A welcome respite from their strife

Behind the scene is broken Lance

Oh, lies, all lies, and fiery pants

No victim of circumstance

He fiddled the tune of doping dance

But did he corrupt the UCI?

Time will tell, by the by

Imo's 3 Way

Wonderful Wednesday calls for a big break.  3 homemade ingredients combine for a heavenly cocktail
  One part homemade Kombucha (expertly made by Ryan Wilder)
  One part Kama Sutra elixir (Imo brew)
  One part Fennel/Rose Ganesh Elixir (Imo brew, too)

Serve over decorative ice cubes.  Sip with serenity and expectation    

In Memoriam: Glenn Harold Murray 1930--2011

The Last Drop

There are no endings/

No curtain calls/

Eternal Lives/

Like waterfalls/

Ever sourced from a

Shoreless sea of light/

If life were day/

There would be no night/

There are no final moments/

Remaining crusts of bread/

Only continuity--there is no dead

Only an eternity of incarnations/

Like hopping on a train which

Slows down at a station/

Destination: Effortless Expansion

And if you miss one ride/

You can always catch the next  one.

UCI Elite Men's Road Race

UCI World Championships 2012

Less than four laps to go,

the state of affairs is incognito

The pace is so high

musettes  left unclaimed

but eating for energy

is part of the game?

Cav did his part

Then ended his year

rainbow striped jersey

clearly held dear

A fine world champ

everyone would agree

For me "Big Daddy"

he'll always be

Wiggins is out

Ditto Froome

 Phinney will not challenge

T. Boon

A messy crash shatters the field

the favorites push on

refusing to yield

A strong breakaway

Contador does his stuff

as does Albasinni

Hanging back

trailing Nocentini

Hesjedal was slowed by the crash

He's fighting for a last minute dash

So many options for winning unfold

Too soon to predict who'll be wearing the gold

Again, the Cauberg!

Another climb!

Albert attacks another time!

Tommy V gestures at the front

Two laps to go 

which team holds the trump?

Hope he's in hiding

And biding his time

Will Phil win from behind?

Spain's looking strong

Causing Belge angst

Talansky and Stannard

 emerge from the ranks

Head winds are an issue

For those in the lead

A stinging descent

could cause a nose bleed

Just before Cauberg

a tactical spot

Stannard is a monster

Talansky is dropped

The heavy faves

including Gilbert

Follow Nibali

who flies through the air

It's down to tactics

And late season form

Berto attacks

For him, it's the norm

So many sprinters are showing their heads

'tho Alberto is dishing out dread

by setting a pace designed to deplete

Spain has a team which will be hard to beat

Italy's there!  

Here comes Gilbert!!!

Of course, I'm hysterical 

Philippe!! Philippe!!!!

And, please note, he's still on his feet!!!

He vanquished the best

And so many of 'em

The Belge-bulged crowd gives lots of loving'

Boas Hag gets silver

Valverde takes three

But the day belongs to Philippe G!

L' homme de fer in victory

The kind of champ we love to see

He's born for the rainbow jersey

He fights back tears adorably

This race has been a lot of fun

Especially as the best man won!!!!!!!!!
