If you are, I nominate Jacob1983.
No one, and I mean no one, states the obvious like he does. He elevates it to poetic and lyrical levels, and when you read him, you come away never looking at the obvious quite the same way again.
For example, when he stated the Texas Rangers needed a 5 game winning streak, he forever changed my perception of the importance of winning. From then on, I didn't see a win as just a win, but as a win. A kind of symbolic event with far reaching philosophical and spiritual implications that extend well beyond the surface reality and into the metaphysical. Before Jacob1983, I was a non-believer who when looking at a statue of Christ, would only see something man made and material. After him, I could now see God beneath the plaster and paint.
For anyone experiencing an existential or religious crisis, please, read Jacob1983. You'll find comfort and meaning, and in 2000 years from now, I wouldn't be surprised if his words on Spurstalk become the Word of God.
