Peeking Out From the Shadows

Long enough to post this. Because misery loves company, and I am miserable.

This Is (Not) My Future

This pretty much sums up why I'm not interested in representing/prosecuting people in orange jumpsuits.

It's Not Fair to Do This, But I Will

I've been cruising around NBA sites looking for reactions on the Gasol trade to the Lakers and, despite what the working 11% of my brain tells me, I inevitably scroll down to the comments thread. That's where I found these three gems.



Now, in reverse order...

#11 - The fact that it's in all caps really completes the image of a wide-eyed child yelling this into an adult's face. When you add in the fact that he "dared" you to say Kobe isn't the best, and that "even Lebron admitted in on t.v.," I'm thinking you need to be THIS tall to use the internet.

#10 - Let's not be petty and pick and punctuation or spelling mistakes, but I love the hard stop --> new line, "I a Huge boston fan" where only "Huge" is capitalized. Like I always say, I don't understand stupid, but it amuses.

#9 - This just made me laugh. James lacks reading comprehension skills. For just a dollar a day, you can sponsor his reading tutor...

Pau Pau Power Wheels!!!

Lakers Trade Kwame Brown for Grizzlies' Pau Gasol. (emphasis mine)

Simple Math: Phil Jackson > Oprah

Mike Bresnahan of the L.A. Times sums up the annual unofficial Laker Book Club:

Jackson handed out a book of individual significance to each player, something he does annually before a long trip. Unlike recent years, though, Jackson was secretive when asked which book he gave to each player.

Some of the Lakers willingly volunteered what books they received, although Kwame Brown declined to comment and Kobe Bryant said he couldn't remember.

"What book did he give me? I don't know," Bryant said. "That's on the back burner for me. I'm still reading my 'Harry Potter' series from first to seven. It kind of gets pushed to the back. 'Chamber of Secrets' comes first."

Lamar Odom was given "Cinnamon Kiss," Derek Fisher got "The Wedding," and Walton received "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young."

Jordan Farmar was given a book called "Shortcomings."

Geez, I hope Kobe is joking here. Kids, this is why you should go to college.
