I love my enemies– need them in fact. They give me reason to get out of bed in the morning. I pray for them– I pray that God doesn't let their miserable lives end just yet, before I can execute the machinations of my rather sick individual revenge. Enemies…..keep life interesting.

And it used to be that I would recommend they see the movie "The Bad Lieutenant." But now, I have encountered one that exceeds even that — "The Black Swan." For those I really hate, please see this movie, take the whole family.

Enjoy the psycho-lesbian scenes, cunnilingus for kids, the blood, self-mutilation, all the little scenes designed for no storyline reason but cheap attempts to shock, the relentless dialog of vulgarity for the sake of shock value (which, I apologize to my fellow movie-goers for laughing throughout– the transparency of the cheap shocks for no reason just struck me as brilliant comedy).

So if you know you are on my "Katrina list," please go see The Black Swan.

Mr. Vince's point is brought out by Waitzkin in his bio of Kasparov. Kasparov offered Karpov a draw in their final match because he didn't want him to be too far behind as he needed this dreadful enemy to give him power, and ammunition for the future. Sort of like the dance that the stocks and bonds or gold and crude play with each other.

While I never got to the point that I dominated my competition but ran some of my best races when the competition was a step above me…including my best marathon time where I was 7th place overall, but top USA. Yet there were many workouts where I would take it easy on the others so they could finish and I would have someone to push me at the end.
