I LOVE OJ

Poor OJ.

He got away with moidering his ex-wife and her "friend," only to get prostate cancer and die. I want to thank Jesus, Moses, Allah, all the Greek and Roman gods and all the Hindu deities. Now that's a lot of thanking I have to do, seeing as how the Hindus have hundreds of gods.

The Hindus have a god for everything in this world, or at least it seems that way. I don't know, but they may have a god of the prostate. Because in the end it was the prostate that cancelled OJ's season tickets in the game of life.

So guess which OJ, I'm talking about. Yeah that one. You already know. I don't even have to mention his last name. When you hear OJ, everyone knows what's up.

I'm also not going to mention his last name, because to some people, it's like a cuss word. That's how mad his full name makes them. For a lot of folks it's a reminder of what's wrong with the American justice system.

Now I've had my share of prostate problems over the years. It's absolutely amazing how many problems that little organ inside the body can cause a man. And there's certainly no "Dream Team" that can fix a man's prostate.

And I thought OJ was supposed to be good for the prostate.

Now I don't even have to say his name. All you have to do is look at the photo and you know who and what I'm talking about. That's how profound an impact OJ had in the popular psyche. And those Hindus. Didn't that whole concept of karma come from Hinduism. It sure did. They've got karma in Buddhism too. Karma is so widespread. Even we Americans talk about it all the time.

Karma is that relationship between a person's actions and the consequences of those actions. Just another way of saying what goes around, comes around.

You got to love karma bums like me. I mean if it wasn't for karma, what would we have to live for. I don't think OJ believed in all this karma stuff.

So now would be a good time to throw a karma parade in OJ's honor.

Actions speak louder than words. So does life. OJ could never get rid of the bad karma, because he never admitted what he did was wrong. I don't think OJ even gave much thought to karma biting him in the ass. And I'm sure until he went to his urologist, he didn't give much thought to his prostate either. I know I didn't.

The prostate is important because it produces a fluid that mixes with sperm from the testicles to make semen. And when you've got bad karma and it gets in your prostate, man 'o man do you have troubles.

Man OJ's prostate did not look happy when the end came. And neither did OJ. Kind of a shame. He had everything. Then he fumbled on the one yard line. I mean he was right there. About to score again. Like he had so many times. As a kid I was a huge OJ fan. I was glued to the TV every Saturday when OJ played for University of Southern California. USC man. Now I'm a karma fan. Karma is like a wise a old man. He taps you on the shoulder when you least expect it.

OJ now here's the thing. I know you're dead. But listen. I'm talking to you now. Key point here which a lot of people miss. KARMA IS NOT REVENGE.

KARMA IS THE COSMIC LAW OF THE UNIVERSE. Revenge is when you cause harm to someone OJ. Like you did when you killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Karma is neither good or bad. It just is.

When I was a kid, I was also a big Beatles fan. John Lennon had this great song called "Instant Karma." OJ had to have heard it. It was all over the radio during OJ's era which was my era too. OJ should have paid more attention to it.

Verse One goes like this.

Instant Karma's going to get you

Going to knock you right in the head

You better get yourself together

Pretty soon you're going to be dead

Man that John Lennon was deep. Prophetic too. And he could sing. Man I loved John Lennon.

Well I gotta go now. Gotta march in the karma parade. OJ's karma wasn't instant. Sometimes karma has to cook for a while. Karma always needs to simmer a bit before it's ready. Unlike a good athlete, karma does not need seasoning. Karma's got natural talent. It always makes it to the end zone. Always scores the touchdown. Always wins the game. Some people conquer the world like OJ did. But no one conquers karma.
