I'm Back Baby

I'm going to write some stuff on here about teaching in jail and some other random stuff, stay tuned.

What happened to our blog

I just noticed that Leigh and I have both lost interest in the blog. And since we're the only ones who read it, it's not a big loss.

Government

So lately I've been thinking about the people who are leading our country, the people who make our laws and pretty much map out the future of how we'll live, at least the important things anyways. I've also watched an whole episode of WWE RAW last Monday because my aunt was over and she loves that shit. I'm thinking voting is like rooting for a wrester in the WWE. Ya it makes you feel like your making a difference, ya you feel like your doing something, ya I feel like I'm contributing to society, but really, there's no effect on the outcome.

As far as voting goes, there are to many dumb people out there, they are uninformed, they don't know the issues, they are dumb! But at least they vote, only the people who don't vote are worse.

It isn't a nice thought, thinking about the direction our country is heading. Turn on American Idol, watch Lost, root for the Leafs, bitch about the weather, shit bitch about the government, but don't push for change...

Because everything will work out in the end if you ignore it. But then again, how would you even know?

P.S. Once again my Bills did not make the playoffs, this tells me two things: 1) golf courses in Buffalo will be booked for the next few months. 2)The world isn't ending this year, because I'm positive that god (I use the small "g" just in case he gets offended by my rantings) will not let me see the Bills win it all ever. the four horsemen will be riding up my street as the Bills are in the red zone ready to score the winning touchdown in the super bowl.

The Bills are back, you're all on notice!

My beloved Buffalo Bills have won the last 4 of 5 games and I'm over the moon about it. They've lost two games in the final seconds by field goals (to Denver and Dallas) and could very easily be 6-2. Besides two tough match ups with New England and the New York Giants their schedule looks pretty good. Miami twice, Cleveland and Philadelphia are nice and Washington is a win if the Bills play well, Jacksonville looked like crap this week, so I hope they have a repeat performance against the Bills.

Now I'm just trying to decide, would I rather the Bills beat the Patriot and end their undefeated streak or make the playoffs? Tough call. If the Bills do beat New England watch me on the news, I'll be the guy who gets arrested for running naked in the streets.

Yes I did, I packed up and brought it back to the crib....

Time to Preview the Southeast. Home of the Outkast, and I mean the good Outkast stuff, none of this "Hey Ya" white girl electric circus crap.

#1 Orlando Magic

I spend a good portion (2 days) of my honeymoon in this heezy. Disneyland was excellent, I love acting like a child. We got to get the "cast member rate" at a LaQuinta hotel, which was awesome, and it had a kingsize bed "know imma saying!!!! know imma saying"

There are some real reasons why I think they will rule. Stan VanGundy is a fatter, non-dead version of his brother. He made the Heat into a championship, when Pat "Donnie Brasco" Riley saw this happening he fired Stan, and then got a ring. So now they have a good coach, a good swingman, a great centre and some good gaurd play. and dreams really do come true in Orlando.

#2 Washington Capital Wizards

The Wiz only have one thing going against them. George Bush lives in the same city as they play. He hates black people. Do the math.

Gilbert Arenas is the most prolific scorer in the east (Sorry Bron) but he can't so it alone, and Caron Butler is just a more klingon like version of Joey Graham. There I said it!

#3 Miami Heat

I'm so over the Heat, Shaq is only going to play like 5 games, Wade will want a trade to a good team, and they have managed to sign every mediocre player in the NBA, and they have an average age of 45. Plus I know for a fact that the people that robbed toine also stole what was left of his J.

#4 Charlotte

Sean May is a embarassment to North Carolina fans, he must have been coached by Coach K seceretly, cause he seems to be more of a baby than JJ Reddick (who will be a great 3 ball shooter this year)

Also, Emeka Okafor is only good when he is on One Tree Hill.

#5 Atlanta Squaks

The best basketball player in Atlanta is Michael Vick, DONE.

John Holliger is a fool, fool.

This is my 2007 Eastern Conference Preview. I've been waiting to write this since Prince was on Apollonia (Look it up, or ask Joe)

I'm going to do this in installments (ADD induced)

Grand CENTRAL station (division)

#1 Chicago Bulls

Kanye, Common, Deep Dish, The fattest pitcher in the playoffs. There are all good qualities of Chi-Town. What does that have to do with them winning the Central you ask? Nothing. But the fact that they have the whitest person in the world running the point (Captain Kirk) and the most underrated Duke grad of all time (Luol Deng) makes them the team to beat. Im buying into the whole age factor here. Plus they never lose to the Raptors, so I can at least say I thought they were amazing when they beat us.

#2 Cleveland Cavaliers

They are going to get Brady Quinn to play for them. Even though Mike Brown is the worst coach since Miss. Beck at Heart Lake SS, they have the X-factor, and they also have a solid gold dancer on their team ( http://youtube.com/watch?v=7rkosq9Nh2o ) and that makes them radical in my book.

#3 Detroooooooit Basketball

Blah Blah Blah, old, malice at the palace. Rasheed is awesome, that grey patch on his head could drop 15 on any team in the NBA, BY IT"S SELF!

#4 Indiana Pacers

Jim O'Brien has never done anything productive, yet he gets a job. Fortunetly for them, everyone on their starting lineup can grow hair, which makes them better than the Bucks. I also Hate Jermaine O'Neal, he is a tattooed less talented, and uglier version of Christoper Philonious Bosh. Count it.

#5 Milwakee Bucks

Michael Redd is nice, his J is gross (in a good way and in a bad way). Charlie V has no hair and he is involved with ladies of the night (a solid source told me this). In other words, who cares about them.

I'll get back to you with the other 2 Divisions, Ending with a raptors love fest.

The hard is what makes it good

Why is it that people can believe that nothing in life is free but they can't wrap their heads around the fact that anything worth having is worth working for?

Isn't it the journey that is important not the destination? I want the sense of accomplishment and I don't get it unless I feel I've worked for what I want. When it's handed to me it isn't quite the same. Maybe it's only a justification, I try to give a reason for why things can be hard. Am I the guy who tells you it's good luck to get shit on by a seagull?

I think that people who don't struggle for what they have should experience miserable joy in their accomplishments. They should be empty, and they are empty. But they've never known what it's like to be fulfilled. Better to erase your pulse with a razor blade then be a meat sack going threw the motions of life.

Wow, it's late, bed time for me. This post may be deleted by tomorrow due to me being all morbid and junk. Also I'm thinking maybe I should proof read these posts and not just write things as they pop into my head. Well maybe next time.

p.s. Leigh I am kicking your ass this week in the NFL picks!
