Thinking Positive

The other day, we were getting ready to play a game of basketball when we felt a rather painful twinge in our lower back. Now this was nothing new--these twinges have been coming and going for the last six months or so. Accustomed as we've become to the nuisance, we were nevertheless frustrated.

"Damnit!" We said. "We've got a bad back."

Just then, a not-so-little bird landed on our shoulder, sending us sprawling across the gym floor and aggravating the pain immensely. We blacked out.

"Don't we know you somehow?" We asked after coming to.

"Of course," said the bird. "I'm Blitz!"

"And you need to learn to be more positive. You don't have a BAD BACK, you have a GOOD FRONT!"

Blitz and ourself got to talking--about backs, fronts, life, and the power of positive thinking.

"You know, Damon," he told us, "I didn't expect this. Last March, my friend Biz and I began planning for our Super Bowl party, Biz & Blitz's XL Blitz & Biz."

"But now it turns out I'm headed to Detroit. And I'll tell you this much--that Roethlisberger kid is going down."
