Whoops! You almost read this one.

I am about to read a book and go to bed (as a quick aside: we read books to fall asleep because books are boring and reading them makes the brain say, "Well, I'd rather be doing nothing than doing this.").

But before I do that, I want to share an experience I had roughly five minutes ago.

I have been missing American sports, which--for me--means I have been thinking about them and my relationship to them. I'm not the biggest sports nut, but I am a fan (basketball and baseball are the big ones I am currently missing out on).

Anyway, in trying to come up with a terrible metaphor for this relationship, I have created the following:

I'd rather play a sport than be a sport...just like I'd rather be a bee than be honey.

If you or anyone you know is having trouble coming up with a terrible simile/metaphor, let me know the parameters, and I will work within them to create one.
