Bed of roses?

Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle

Well, enjoy your bed of roses everyone. That is, enjoy them while they last because nature has a way to even thing out. And so, hang onto your bed of roses the best you can and avoid the “bed of nails” in the Bon Jovi song.

Here are two recent media examples:

1. Heat forward LeBron James candidly labeled Tuesday as “Hater Day.”

What started as playful response to critics turned into James receiving a racist Twitter message. James addressed it after Wednesday's practice, saying “it doesn't affect me at all.”

“I think Twitter is definitely somewhere you can reach out to your fans who don’t get an opportunity to see you on an everyday basis,” James said. “It’s not every day that I’m using things as motivation. It’s once in a blue moon when you need the world to see that no matter how many good things you do, you're always going to have people that [downgrade] what you do. You use it to get better every day.”

James started a Twitter account in July as a way to interact with fans. In three months, he gained more than 900,000 followers. His updates range from basketball-related items to concert pictures to videos of his son’s first day of school.

Then he sent out a “tweet” Wednesday claiming it was “Hater Day,” and expressed his love for doubters. One response prompted James to “retweet” so the rest of his followers could see. It used a racial slur and described him as “big nosed big lipped bug eyed.” It continued, “Ur greedy, u try to hide ur ghettoness.”
