Andrea? Andrea

Andrea (Andrea?) Bargnini

The Raptors Big Man (cough couch) is just about the worst number 1 in the history of the NBA.  He is an injury waiting to happen and doesn't play right when he does manage to get on the court.  He simply sucks and Colangelo has only himself to blame.  The Raptors bit.

Youk is DONE

The Yanks are CRAZY to sign this fossil to a one year $12m dollar deal.  Simply stupid.

Youk was given away by the Sox because he CAN'T PLAY ANYMORE.  Decent numbers for Chitown in the second half gave Cash-man the idea that he can still play.

HE CAN'T

There ARE Grizzlies in Memphis!

I'll be getting my first view of the Grizz tonight in the back end of ESPN's doubledip, and I can't wait.

Zack Randolph, former lost child at the factory run by Tom Izzo at Mich St, is a potential Hall of Famer.  I'll bet I'm the first one to say that.  But HE IS.  Dude is bad!  12.8 boards a game and the team's second leading scorer.

And Rudy Gay is a much better pro than I thought he would be back at UConn.  He is really good.

Conley is prob the weak link.  Not much of a fan of his.  Prove me wrong, lil Mikey.

Go Grizz.  I love the NBA.

Poetry Rocks

All true warriors love prose
It adds beauty to the ghastlyness
They must endure

Mamba......Strikes!

Kobe did in the Wizards tonight in DC, one night after the Fakers lost to the recharged Knicks.  That is one bad fucker.

Why I Would Make A Good Soldier

My first thought is:

"Is the shooter down?"

Next thought:

Wounded?  Triage!

Next thought:

Any more bad guys?

----------------------

Save your fucking tears, boys, until all the shooters are down

Let the woman have the crying spells, now is the time to ask

"Are all the shooters down?

----------------------

I was born to be infantry, cept for this shitty body

PM Thoughts on a Friday

-  with the school shooting in New Town, CT worldwide news, I am glad I'm a sports fan.  The Celtics are battling with the Rockettes tonight and I haven't heard the announcers once mention the tragedy.  Thankfully.

-  Aside:  I never trust a man who isn't a sports fan.  And I never will.

-  I like my poetry but it never comes out perfectly.

-  I'm going to have children someday, I think.  Maybe in my fifties, but someday.  I need friends first, though.

-  Miss the B's really REALLY bad but it's freeing up some of my nights to go out searching for souls to administer.  Especially my own.

Just For Today

all this dying
all this breathing, in and out, but 28 less
now

so tenuous
is our existance
our tiny little lives
knocked akilter this am

he looks at us and does.....what?

shedding tears is appropriate
for others
but i have none to offer you and them
since i am not a parent
of a beautiful boy or girl (they all)

i only have my righteous anger
to offer the shooter
knowing that
i know i couldn't hurt him or
harm him but
only have
my wish to disarm
take away those firearms
and look into his unblinkingness
calm him
with my love
AND UNDERSTANDING ARMS
placed lightly on his shoulders

"you will do no more killing, my friend"
i would say to him
leading him to the waiting police cruiser

no one would harm the shooter
on my watch
for
he
has
suffered
enough

if not today, this morning
then tomorrow

Thoughts For The Day...

God is
God was
God will always be

-------------

When we die we don't go to heaven or hell, we just become part of God, like an endless jigsaw puzzle

--------------

I know now Britney Spears doesn't know who I am, but I still may talk to her when I'm lonely

--------------

Basketball is the greatest game ever.   You can play it with one person or ten or 40 or whatever.  And no one ever gets seriously hurt playing ball.  Maybe just a knee or foot.

---------------

This is gonna be a good day, I hope

Peace and Love Peeps
