T-Rex and Snuggies

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

~ Theodore Roosevelt

Teddy Roosevelt's "The Man in the Arena" speech is one of my favorites. It spurs me on to want to try new things, not worry about what others think, work hard, and want to keep moving forward even when failure comes at times.



And now onto snuggies....

I keep seeing infomercials for these crazy looking blankets with arms. They look comfortable and seem to be useful for staying warm reading, at a football game, or a Xavier basketball game. At least that is what my friend Dave thinks would be sweet. Imagine a sea of snuggies in the student section. Intimidating? Maybe. Hilarious? Yes!
