but when i got it i didnt look away from someone in a wheelchair or someone with one arm or someone with a messed up face like i did before. i felt i could embrace them, when i saw them i didnt see the wheelchair or messed up face, i saw a person in a whelchair. theres a slight but meaningful difference at least for me. now, i dont even bother to take meds for it. like brees, its a part of who i am, its a constant but great reminder to me that noone is perfect, everyone has ailments or things wrong with them, to not dwell on my own bad skin b/c its just that bad skin, it doesnt mean a damn thing on who i am. if anything it made me a better person, a more understanding person. while i am not religous i do consider it my cross, my reminder to stay humble and thankful and that everyone is a person first. when i give a homeless guy a dollar or cigarette and he wants to shake my hand, i shake it. my older brother hates that screaming germs and what not. idk maybe if i didnt have my own problems maybe i wouldnt shake a hand that has been extended to me. sorry for the cheese, glad to see brees embraced it as a part of himself like i have with my own superficial reminder. i always thought he approached it the way he wrote about it. honestly, he is a role model for others, particularly lil kids with similar problems. if you dont have something on your face like him you probably didnt even think of how he represents himself with zero embarrasment but there are kids all over america with something on their face and im sure brees has inspired them to look up and not down. cheese boy out. ps - smootsmack - did the univ of maryland sign a contract with espn recently?

Re: Down time things to talk/think about.
Hot damn! Every now and then something happens here that pleasantly reminds me of some of the unique perks of my job...I'm walking to the cafeteria to grab some lunch...see some dudes playing catch with a football...walk over to see what's going...next thing I know I'm tossing the football around as well...with freakin' Drew Brees! What do me and Marques Colston have in common? We've both caught passes from Drew Brees. Damn, that was awesome.

Re: Down time things to talk/think about.
It was fun...but I actually felt a lot of pressure. I was thinking "don't screw up in front of Drew Brees...don't screw up in front of Drew Brees" And he doesn't just play catch. It's almost like he tries to recreate a game situation, moves around a bit, checks off an imaginary receiver and then fires a bullet at you.

Maryland alone, no. I think you're thinking of the ACC deal
