The Dude Was Being Strangled

Coming out of a coffee shop on the corner of Pacific and Montgomerry I notice up the way a short dude is STRANGLING a tall bald dude. Why? No idea. Now I would have ran and stopped the situation but as soon as I saw it others came over and the tall dude falls over to the street. As I advance on the sitch it is apparent Napoleon is not giving up the goods for his reason and walks off. People are saying "where are you going? We have your picture," and the like. He doesn't care. About 5 feet short black hair, thick well kept beard, bean shaped head, wearing a button down dark blue shirt and jeans. Walking off and obviously pissed.

First time I've seen a dude strangled in person. Pretty crazy. He appeared to be all right as I passed them and walked back to work.

In other news my starting five will crush Antwan's starting five!

ME:
PG: Chris Paul
SG: Michael Redd
SF: Lebron James
PF: Shawn Marion
C: Al Jefferson

Antwan:
PG: Baron Davis
SG: Manu Ginobali
SF: Kobe Bryant
PF: Amare Stoudamire
C: Dwight Howard

Now why does my crew kill his? Defense, passing, teamwork, and versatility. I may not be a big James fan but he is crushing and Chris Paul is the Man. That is all.

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

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go
