Pass The Rock!

LET'S GET NBA CRAZY!





I think this year (while being the most exciting in the past 10 years) has some of the most awesome and heinous trades ever perpetrated. Shaq to Phoenix ruins their inside collapsing offensive game and J Kidd in Dallas makes them defensively slow. Kidd can't defend all the young and up tempo guards of the west. Let's take a look at the standings as of today:



Sorry this is so ugly... The East? Pathetic. New Jersey is 9 games under .500 today. That is ridiculous. Yes, I think the NBA playoffs need to be remade to allow only .500+ teams in damn the conference but I don't want to talk about that. Dallas is disgusting since picking up J. Kidd. Besides the obvious of pulling J Kidd in the final minute (because he can't shoot), the man can't keep up with the west. Giving him an extension will kill Dallas for years to come. Giving up Devin Harris has pretty much doomed them. I understand the feeling their window is closing and they need to strike now... but they made the wrong move. I'm calling it now! Dallas will not make the playoffs.

In the east? How does it feel Chauncey? or should I say Rip? Never buy into the whole "This game means more to them" nonsense. If you are a true competiter every single game means everything to everyone. Michael Jordan changed the game. Having a mental edge over an opponent can push you to great things. By winning the last two games in Detroit and Boston the Celtics have said "We own you." Who cares if they haven't been together for years (or even a single year). The maturity of the players, the lessons they learned, and the fact KG is the main piece make this team work. You can't take anything from KGs minneasota years other than he is a tremendous competiter. Illegal player signing, incompetent coaches and front offices, no first round picks for years, malcontents, the ONLY bright spot is KG. In closing I just want to say the players and coaches in Detroit must be feeling the pressure. Yes they've been near the championship throughout the decade but this line up may be only good enough to get there and lose when players with stronger wills (Lebron, KG, Wade) meet them at the finals gate.

J Kidd is done, if Shaq doesn't get to the playoffs he may be embarassed into retiring, and the Pistons are falling down the mountain.

Eddie Morra is an Idiot

More awesome fan posters on Posterspy.com For being the smartest man alive Eddie Morra is an idiot, or at least the people who wrote him are. If you haven't seen this film here's the quick and dirty; loser Eddie Morra is given a drug that gives him super smarts and he uses it to help some random company make millions, along the way some bad stuff happens. The problem with all that bad stuff is none of it needed to happen and I'm pretty sure a man with the IQ of Eddie Murra wouldn't have allowed any of it to occur or even take a path that presents them as possible. See the hook point in the movie is Eddie's first use of super drug NZT, he cleans his apartment, writes the first part of his novel and it wears off. So of course he's instantly hooked, and like all drug addicts, he goes to get more. As soon as he takes his next pill he should realize, "Damn, I have a supply issue here. I need to figure out how to either develop this myself or find out

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery. A week prior everyone was together in my house for an adventurous weekend climbing a wind turbine and celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, now we are on the eve of my mom going under the gamma knife for emergency brain surgery. Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou

Top 10 Things of 2019

Like everyone I love lists; however it feels like I no longer have the time to sit down and give every sub-genre of life and culture it's due. So here are the top 10 things I experienced this year. 10. Disneyland with Emmalyn As it turns out, I have been to Disneyland once a decade since my visit in 1993 (and for some reason always within a few days off Christmas.) This decade's visit came this year with my family, Marieta, and Emmalyn along for the ride. It was really fun, especially riding the Dumbo ride, Emmalyn's first rollercoaster, watching the parade with Emmalyn on my shoulders, and the end of night fireworks. 9. Seeing "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" at Story City Theater Quentin Tarantino's ninth film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is easily the most rewatchable film of the year, a cinematic feast for the eyes, ears, and mind, and each viewing offers something new. My favorite part about seeing it was my second screening occ
