The Cone of Silence

I apologize for not updating in such a while.

So the Lakers lost in the finals. I am really happy for the players on the Celtics, I just wish they all did it for a different team. I hate that we're seeing a glory decade for boston sports. ew. I do have a Kobe jersey now and it is the tits. It's a swingman.

I am really really looking forward to the Hawks season next year. I think they will get the 5 seed in the East Playoffs.

I saw Get Smart. Great movie. You definitely will get your money's worth. Also, I would like to endorse "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

I had a good weekend. Josh Rubin's dad and turd brother were in town. One time, Josh's dad came downstairs in his underwear. It was hilarious.

**New Section** Hate and Like with Mike

I had a pretty good weekend. People came to visit me and we had a lot of fun. I went tubing in the New River again but it was a little chillier than last time. I saw people smoking cigarettes while they were in their tubes and I was thinking that they were probably just going to flick the butt into the water. I know it is presumptuous of me without actually seeing the people dispose of it. But this makes me sick, I do not want to float by cigarette butts while trying to enjoy nature for an hour. That really gripes me.

Foam soap is great. You can get it at Bath and Body Works. It comes in a hand pump bottle. It is far superior to bar soap because A. No one else has used it, B. If you want to wash your hands right after someone else, it's not already wet and a mess on the soapdish, and C. it does not take nearly as long to get a decent lather. It is superior to liquid soap as well because it is not as drippy and you do not have to worry about getting some up on that top part of the sink, you know, where the water does not touch. That is what I really like.

Thanks for reading! More posts to come soon!

Mad Dog Tannon

Hello from Blacksburg!

Hank Steinbrenner is officially the largest turd in the world. Steinbrenner thinks that the DH has been around since the 1800's, due to this incident. I mean, he thinks the NL is to blame? I think it's such garbage that he thinks pitchers should not have to hit and run the bases. The AL is a wussy league.

Congrats to Tiger on his 14th Major. I think that was one of the greatest finishes I've ever seen in a sport.

My Kobe Bryant jersey should be here today. I have to take Josh Rubin to work though at 1 and I really hope that it doesn't come while I'm taking him. That would be the worst. I'm going to leave a post it note on the door in case the FedEx guy/girl comes.

The Mets organization is hilarious right now. Who fires someone at midnight on a road trip? Real classy Mets.

That's all for now, more to come later today after my jersey comes.

Paper Planes

So I just want it to be known that there isn't anyone on this Celtics team that I hate.  The reason I'm rooting against Boston is because I dislike the fan base and all of Boston sports.  I also do not like New York sports.  I did like the Giants over the Patriots in the Super Bowl for those who were wondering.  I like Garnett, Allen, Pierce is kind of a bitch tho.  Anyways, it's not the players, it's everything that surrounds the Celtics.

I think the Lakers will win the title.  Stranger things have happened.

Ok everyone should listen to Paper Planes by MIA.  It's also featured in the Pineapple Express Trailer.

Coca-Cola

I was at Dairy Queen the other day looking for a mid-day snack.  I felt kind of bad going up to the counter to have them make me something because it definitely did not look like they wanted to be there.  Anyways, I ordered a chili cheese dog and the cashier asks me, "Is that with chili and cheese only?"  FOR REAL???  What is this?  No I want a chili cheese dog but with peppers and gravy only.

So I noticed Coca-Cola has come out with new bottle caps that use less plastic.  I think that's awesome and a great example of resource conservation.  Chermak would be proud.

I bought a candle from Target that's mango scented but it doesn't smell when I light it.

I made s'mores the other night at a lake house.  I'm really glad that I saw the Sandlot.

I'M GOING WITH JERK STORE!!!  JERK STORE IS THE LINE!!!  JERK STORE!!!

I had these shoes when I was growing up.

So Kobe put up 36 last night.  That's unreal.  I mean, this guy does it all.  The ball just pops out of his hands like it's on a spring and finds the basket.  He only missed 5 shots all night, 1 was a 3-pointer.  Watching him is too much to handle sometimes.  I'm also having a hard time dealing with it being the finals.  I mean every little thing matters.  There is so much pressure on these guys.   How do they handle it?  It's way too much to handle sometimes.  I have to avert my eyes or walk away from the tv as if I've found the lost ark.  Every pass and every shot is so important.  I like the way the triangle offense is run.  If you can move the ball quickly it can be so effective.  Jackson loves the triangle.  

Does Surry Ring a Bell?

Over the weekend Hannah and I did some east coast VA stuff like Busch Gardens, Norfolk, and the famous Virginia Diner.  Although it took us quite a while to find this diner, we got so lost that we were eventually 15 minutes from Michael Vick's dogfighting house.  No joke.  If we had made a right in downtown Surry and then a left on this other road we would have been right there.  Unreal, wish I had known I was near it before I got lost.  It's actually an anomaly, like the Matrix, that he got caught.  The houses are so remote from each other out there.

Anyways so I am starting to play basketball a little bit.  I really like it now that I understand the game and the positions and stuff.  I kind of think of myself as a pure shooter, like Ray Allen only not as good.  I pick and pop, or roll, whatever I feel like.  I like to set up and shoot, or pull up.  I don't drive to the basket only because my ball handling skills aren't that great.  I try to get open with screens and stuff.  I balled this 9 year old back in Richmond over the weekend at my girlfriend's pool.  I schooled him bad.  He went running back to the pool to go swim in the shallow end.  I was pulling up from everywhere and lay ups never seemed so easy.  It felt great.

So the kid that's living with me for right now bought a pair of these Lebron James shoes, but he's way too afraid to wear them.  He brought them out for about an hour the other day and then put them back in the box because he was afraid to wear them in the grass.  The shoes are tight though, they say King on one of them and James on the other.

One last thing, I gotta talk about these Padres camo uniforms.  I mean, who are they kidding?  Are they trying to hide from someone?  What's next?  Cotton uniforms like in Seinfeld?  It's not even like San Diego is a "southern" city where many residents would be wearing camo as their daily clothing.  I think they are the ugliest uniform in the major leagues.

What It's Like to Watch Rajon Rondo

This is what it's like for me to watch Rondo play.  The older gent is Doc Rivers to me.  The kid has even taken a lesson on fake injuries from Paul Pierce.  Video

BABIES!!!!!!

Celtics Fans

I just want to say that I agree with Mike Bibby.  Celtics fans suck.  First of all, my friend and I were watching them play the Pistons I believe when they showed a fan holding a poster of Garnett doing one of his screams that look like he just got shot in the leg by a bow and arrow.  But this sign was so much more than just cliche, it was Garnett on the TIMBERWOLVES!!!!  You could see the trees from the neck of the jersey.  I mean come on, don't just google image Garnett Screaming and print it out.  Find a picture of him on the Celtics when you do that.  Come on as Jimmy would say in South Park.

Kobe Bryant is Where It's At

So I'm living with this kid that owns a Timberwolves Garnett jersey, a Knicks Marbury Jersey, and  Glen Rice Knicks jersey.  Needless to say he's not wearing any of them.  I've been wearing the Marbury one and the Garnett one (even though I am rooting for the lakers) Here's a funny video of Marbury.  Here's the video

Anyways, I just kinda feel bad for him after what happened this year.  He's a great player and doesn't deserve what happened in New York.

So this is the first year I've really been watching the NBA.  It's been so awesome.  Especially with how the west worked out and the Hawks taking the Celtics to a game seven.  I actually ran into Josh Childress at Lenox Mall a few weeks ago.  I said "good season" to him and he told me "thanks."  It was awesome.    I like his style of play, he can drive and shoot deep.  He's a great sixth man and he's my girlfriend's favorite player.  

So I lost my girlfriend's keys last night.  She let me borrow her keys so I could go scan a document during halftime of Game 2.  I scanned it and then went to Kroger.  My mom called (which is like having Mrs. Seinfeld as a mother) and she told me I didn't click attach when I e-mailed the scanned document.  So I went back over and re-sent the document correctly to my mom.  I went home to watch Game 2's second half.  In the morning, she told me she couldn't find her keys and I looked all over for them and I couldn't find them so I had to drive her to class in Roanoke, VA at 8am.  I cam back and found the keys in a grocery bag from Kroger.  I forgot that I had put them in there because I just had too much stuff to carry.  What an ordeal. 

By the way, Kobe Bryant was pulling Michael Jordan-esque stuff last night.  The only thing is that I wish Kobe had taken that 3 instead of Vujacic.  That would have put the lid on the jar for the night.  It would have been a game to remember.  Instead it just looks like the Celtics won the game they should have to all the people reading the papers the next morning.  Well, poop, I think Kobe will dominate the next 3 in LA and will win 1 in Boston, probably game 7.  I mean people seem to think the Celtics will win, but don't they remember that this is the same team that was taken to game 7 against the Hawks??  I mean, we're talking about the L.A. Lakers, not the Hawks now.  I think it's too much for Doc Rivers to handle, I mean he looked like a deer in headlights combined with Stryker trying to land that plane at the end of Airplane.

Well I hope you enjoyed my first post as much as I enjoyed writing it.  Go Lakers!
