-We are down 0-1 in our best of 5 final four series against Meggido, our arch nemesis. This series is more important than the potential finals because the top 2 teams both get to move up to the first division next year. The two times we met in the regular season they beat us by a combined 50 points. We were able to stay close the whole game this time, getting as close as 3 with about 3 minutes left. My game was a little up and down, but I was proud of my effort overall, and I finally found my missing 3 point stroke. Next game is at home on National TV, so our 500 fans should be rockin and rollin. Continue reading “Thoughts on Conspiracies, Movies and Ants”

PUT DEM ON THA FLOOR!” I think he was dead serious. Continue reading “Some Updates”

Even though I haven’t even started yet. Whatever, I wanted to tell this story and had no where else to fit it in. Sue me. Also, I don’t know why I use parentheses in situations like this, but it just feels right. Anyway, it was a Sunday before a Tuesday game and all I wanted to do was get some practice shots up. I spoke with the manager the practice before, and he assured me that I would have a key waiting for me so I could actually access the gym, because the previous two times I tried to go it was locked. So I show up, and as I am looking for the key I notice a little girl and woman probably around my age standing at the front door trying to get in. Sensing something was up that could potentially disrupt my precious alone time in the gym, I found the key and snuck in through the side door. Thinking I was so slick, I proceeded to start my workout. Continue reading “How I Deal With Crippling Boredom”
