We’re Playing Basketball…

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Quite a few games on last night. Didn’t get to see any NBA action but did see the replays of LeBron crucifying the Nets with his dunks and assists. Carmelo Anthony took Kevin Durant to task shutting him down with a Nuggets win over the Thunder. In college there was Maryland laying the smack down on Duke with Vasquez leading that charge with some impressive play. Kentucky beat up on Georgia though Leslie was getting on my nerves. Do we have to see the dunk over Cousins again? Well John Wall shut them up by stealing the ball with his left hand and taking it down court with his left hand and finishing with a monster left handed dunk. Fuck you bitches! It got 2nd on ESPN’s top10. Why? Because these asses have a fucking HOCKEY play as number one. WHY THE FUCK? The NHL blows and the Olympics did not revive it! LET IT DIE! A goalie stop is not and never will be a number one play you assholes! UGH. That’s the whole reason behind this post.

Bummed Around With Bum Arm

Saturday, January 9th, 2010

Nothing new today. I slept in late, ate, and did some one handed cleaning. Washing up some dishes sure was interesting as well as doing some laundry. I hopped back in bed and watched basketball until 4 then went over to a friends to watch UK beat Georgia. John Wall was not playing his best game, in fact the whole team looked anemic. Thankfully Patterson and Cousins stepped up with Liggins and Bledsoe. Nothing heroic, just the basics and it helped us pull through. We’re still undefeated and here’s to beating Florida Tuesday night at 9. The Jets beat up on the Bengals like I said they would. Revis shut down Chad Johnson as usual and Sanchez hooked up with Keller and Cotchery. I was happy with the outcome. The Cowboys are unfortunately winning right now. The Eagles defense is pathetic, mainly because most their players are hurt. It’d take a miracle to win now. McNabb looks like garbage as usual. His offensive line looks worse so that’s of no help. Meh. Wisconsin beat Purdue and Georgia Tech came back and beat Duke after I wrote them off and left. UConn blew a huge lead and the end of the game allowing Georgetown to win by a few. The games weren’t too bad today.

I came back home because his place is fucking cold. My arm is hurting like a bitch so I popped another pain pill. That’s only my second for today. :-) I’m starting to feel it already. Oy.

I’m trying not to think today and I’ve been mostly successful. I can’t control dreams and I dreamed 3 different times last night. They were happy dreams but after I woke up I felt sad. Damn. Maybe I’ll get a bunch of sleep tonight with no dreams. I don’t dream often and I remember them even less often but last night I kept waking up… I wonder if it was the medicine but more likely just me. Blah. I’m trying here.

I’ll probably cruise around on the internet for a while until I pass out. This game sucks so I’m turning it off. I plan on sleeping in and watching football tomorrow. If only I could dream a reality then I’d never dream another.

Sports And Stuff

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

I just did some reading last night and watched UFC 108. It featured Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva. Rashad was working on his ground and pound surprisingly and took Silva down many times. He dominated the first two rounds leaving some sort of knockout as Thiago’s only hope. He realizes this and taunts Rashad to take a swing at him for most of the third round. He’d wave him over or drop his guard and stick his face out. It’s tempting to beat the shit out of him but Rashad is smart and kept back. Unfortunately during one exchange a counter nailed Rashad stunning him. Silva jumped on him quick but Rashad managed to stay up and not get knocked out. He would clinch up on him to prevent a further beating. Joe Rogan starts saying how Silva needs to act now (they separated and had their hands at their sides catching their breaths.) He was right, don’t let Evans recover. But Silva is an idiot and let him recover only to get tied up for the last minute and thirty seconds leaving it to decision which easily went to Rashad. I was happy with the whole fight card, every one featured submissions and ground and pound and on the feet action. They may not have been big names but it was fun to watch. This one might have been worth $40. Go figure.

I also watched the UK vs UofL game yesterday. It was scrappy from the getgo, Bledsoe fouls a few seconds into the game (bullshit call) and he’s going off. Calipari has to bench him so he cools down. Not but 30 seconds later 3 technical fouls are assessed in a mini-brawl. This shit is getting real and the record 24k+ crowd in Rupp Arena is about to explode. This rivalry has far reaching implications in the Bluegrass. Neither team can hit a basket in the first half and the defense played is stellar. Fouls are flying left and right easily hitting the one and one bonus with 10 to go in the first. By the second half Louisville manages to cut the lead after a 5 point swing when Patterson misses a wide open dunk (BRICK) and they nail a trey. They get up one point 42-41 before John Wall (who is back in the game from a cramp) finally gets back in rhythm and tears ‘em apart. It’s tense up to the buzzer but UK retains the lead at around ten points with some rare missed free throws from Wall. Kentucky extends the unbeaten record to 15-0.

Today is a day of relax and rest for me. I’m going to watch football all day to keep my mind busy. I need the Steelers to win and the Texans and Jets to lose. Unfortunately, the teams they’re playing may rest their starters fucking our chances for the playoffs. I have a few bills to get in order but that’s it.

I was thinking and figured that if Ms. Sexy X is happier without me in her life then that’s what I want. Hey, I may not be as happy but oh well. I’ve always been interested in her happiness so if this is what it takes I’ll accept that. Only she can answer that and I guess she has. I don’t have to like the decision but I’d never force myself upon anyone so I have to move on. That’s hard and will take a lot of time. As stated above I try to keep busy but many times I slip up. If I ask myself ”is my life better off without MSX?” I’d answer no in a heartbeat. Someone that is super smart, can make me laugh all the time, and has such a huge heart, and cares about me. That is a no-brainer. I want ME to be happy but not at her expense. Fare thee well, my love. ;-) I hope she finds happiness wherever she goes.

Busy Days Help

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I was right, the 4th was so very hard on me. I had the day off and it just hit me. I tried cleaning to keep my mind off of it but I’d just breakdown over and over. I did manage to clean my incredibly messy room… I always let it go to shit when I tumble into depression. I just start throwing anything anywhere. Well, I was tired of the mess and it just further depressed me. I was intending to keep busy so I couldn’t think but I failed. Alas, I finally got it clean, my laundry all washed, the kitchen clean, and my bathroom clean. It felt really good despite the fact that I felt like shit. I ended up going over to a friend’s to play Call of Duty until 2AM. I got home and in bed by 3AM only to get up at 6AM.

Yesterday was much easier but not entirely better. The lack of sleep wasn’t fun. I was busy at work all day when my boss sprung a surprise project on me. We were horribly understaffed until 1PM. It’s alright as I went on a 3 hour lunch at 12 so that I could watch UK beat UNC. John Wall dominated the first half only to come out in the second with bad cramps. We had a commanding lead that just shrivelled up. I don’t feel like breaking down the game but suffice it to say we need to work on free throws bad and learn to kick the ball out to our perimeter when they double down the big guys.

I went back to work for just an hour before leaving to go over to a friend’s to watch the SEC Championship game. Alabama beat Florida… well destroyed is a better word. I was happy. Tebow is good and all but he doesn’t make me a bandwagon Florida fan like a lot of people seem to be doing. I don’t really have a college football team but I’ll stick with USC for a few reasons. (That’d be SoCal and NOT SoCar.)

After that we made some delicious burgers. They’re at least a quarter pound each. I had two which was a HUGE mistake. I was sooooo full. Ms. Sexy X called me and talked for about 20 minutes which was great. Unfortunately I was at a friend’s and at the very end I felt like throwing up. She sounded wonderful though and that was the highlight of my day for sure. I think she misses me but I know she won’t say. She’s set her mind for the moment so maybe one day she will but I just have to wait. :-( I get where she’s coming from when she does that but I wish she’d open up to me again. Afterall, it’s just us. I’ll wait for her… I love her. :-)

So I almost threw up. I was in the bathroom for a good bit, I walked around outside in the BRISK 20 degree weather to help. I stood for the first part of the Ultimate Fighter.

The whole card was actually entertaining. I was disappointed with Matt beating Marcus. Matt is such an idiot saying they both have “retard strength” on live TV. Really? I laughed at how stupid he could be. McSweeney beat Schoonover which I did want. Hamill beat Jones though Hamill got beat down so badly. Jones got DQ’d for illegal vertical elbow drops to the face. I never heard of them doing a DQ… wouldn’t it be a NC? Interesting. Jones should have won but the ref wouldn’t call it. Kimbo Slice beat Houston Alexander (who has an uncanny resemblence to the rapper Common.) The first round was completely boring with Houston literally dancing around the ring for the whole fucking thing. The second round started the same way with weak leg kicks to Kimbo’s bad knee. Not a bad game plan but put some power behind that shit. Kimbo slammed him down a few times and dominated the second round. The third round they were both tired and there were some takedowns and punches exchanged but it was slow and went to the bell where they both were exhausted. By unanimous decision Kimbo won which I agree with. Now given his age and bad knee… I can see him fighting a few more times but I certainly don’t expect him to last. The last fight featured Brenden Shaub and Roy Nelson. Guess who fucking won? Yeah the fatass did. I do give him credit, he actually put up a much better fight this time. Clearly Shaub needed to stay on his feet which he figured out after shoving that lardass off of him with one hand (WOW!) They were trading licks after that. Nelson gets gassed quick so dancing around to the second round would have worked but instead they exchange punches again except this time Nelson catches Shaub with a HUGE right hook to the ear which puts him to sleep. He punched him once more on the ground but Shaub was dazed and the ref stepped in to signal the knockout. Am I disappointed? You bet but oh well.

Chuck Lidell and Tito Ortiz are the next coaches for the middleweight TUF. Why the washed up Chuck? I guess he gets ratings and is friends with Dana. I wanted to see Georges St. Pierre coach. This next Saturday is a huge fight card in UFC 107. I’ll watch for sure.

I went home after that as my stomach was still iffy. This morning I feel fine (knock on wood.) I wish I could have talked longer with her. I probably won’t hear from her again for another week if not two weeks. That sucks. :-(

Day 13

Monday, November 30th, 2009

To borrow a line from a parody “I miss her more than Michael Bay missed the mark when he made Pearl Harbor.” Not only is that funny but it’s an inside joke and it’s absolutely true – in both ways.

I haven’t done shit all day. I don’t mind but I’m bored and lonely. This would be one of those perfect lounge days. I find myself thinking about what she’s doing. Oy vey. I feel a bit down today.

I have 3 things to look forward to. In a while I’m going to workout. After that I’ll watch John Wall (aka “The Truth!”) and UK light it up against UNC-Ash and then MNF with the Saints and Pats. I couldn’t care less about all these – I love watching sports but right now they only serve as a distraction. Hell, the Pittsburgh loss to the ratbirds last night doesn’t really bother me. Granted, it’s made the race tighter for the wild card but it’s all whatever. There are more important things to think about.

Blah Day

Saturday, September 26th, 2009

I went to bed early last night, right at around 1AM. I was tired I guess and I have nothing to do. I’m bored and lonely. This morning I woke up to it still raining which should have been my cue to keep sleeping. I did sneak maybe another 45 minutes in but it wasn’t really sleep and I did dream a little. I plan on sleeping in tomorrow too but my body never lets me. Meh, oh well.

I had an ailing stomach and went to the bathroom several times this morning. I was hoping it was just from last night’s pizza. Unfortunately, it hit me several times today. I haven’t felt too bad really besides going to the bathroom. I’m hoping I’m not sick, I don’t feel it. I haven’t eaten any supper yet, I’m a bit afraid too.

Work was busy so it kept me occupied most of the time today. Florida took on UK today and I knew it was going to be a beatdown. I watched the first quarter before I tuned out. 31-0 and Hartline had 2-6 throwing with 1 whole yard. Wow that sucks. I believe the final score was 41-7 not that it mattered. Tebow went to the hospital after taking a hard hit though I figure he’s just shook up. I know there’s going to be a lot of drinking in Bluegrass nation tonight.

I had one strange black woman looking down at a phone or something and she snapped her head looking at me all exorcism style and says “Jesus is lord” and she snaps her head back to where she was looking. I said “ooooh kay” casually and she says “sorry I just wanted you to know.” I just gave her an odd stare and continued on.

I have been dreaming all day when I can. My dreams are simple but enormous. I’m nervous about going out there, this may be my chance. I haven’t heard from Ms. Sexy X in… is it 8 days now? I think that’s right. I’m worried but I know she’s fine, it’s just tough. I don’t know, I’m having a hard time saying what I want to say on here.

I have simple dreams and I’m so close. Please, please work out. Arrrgh!

My Hero

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Once again, I slept until 8:40 and I sort of “rested” until 9:30… I wouldn’t call that last hour sleep.

I woke up to find some news about Kentucky’s old basketball coach – Billy Gillispie. We heard about his DUI problems in Texas. For some reason he’s still in KY and he got busted for DUI on US 127 this morning. He claims he was just getting back from golfing at… 2:45AM!! Alright, Billy! Nothing says “sober” like a horrible alibi! That’s why you’re my hero. In all honesty, I thought he got done dirty and should have had another year. There were rumors about his treatment of players, yada, yada. Calipari better work out with this awesome recruiting class because UK will be a laughing stock if not. Then again, his wins can’t be vacated either or the same results will occur.

Michael Vick plays tonight at 1900EST against the Jaguars. I’m interested in watching but I may be golfing then. (No, that isn’t code for drinking and driving, hahaha!)

Okay, we get the idea that some players may be pissed off at Favre coming in like he did. Whatever, that’s expected. But I SWEAR TO GOD if I hear them say “schism” one more fucking time on ESPN I will blow them all up! OY VEY! Some idiot used the term “schism” when he “broke” the story and they just won’t drop it. This isn’t even a story to begin with. Assholes.

I got some good sleep. My arm is hurting which makes me wonder if I’ll golf today. It’s just sore and stiff. Typing doesn’t help but whatever. Yesterday, I opted to not go fishing because of it. I was hoping Ms. Sexy X would call again yesterday but she didn’t. :-( I was going to use that as an excuse not to go fishing but I wouldn’t. Unfortunately, after soaking my arm several times in a hot wax bath, the soreness didn’t dissipate enough to my satisfaction. I’m sure it was brought on by fishing the other night. A thousand casts in a few hours can do that to you especially if your arm was fucked up in a wreck. It’s unfortunate and I’m beginning to wish I never got that motorcycle. I love them and it wasn’t my fault but I just don’t think it was worth it. Sad, huh?

Today I’m going to do a little shopping, get some things if I can. I’ll do that this afternoon. First I still have to do my morning routine, then I’ll start cooking something so that when I get done shopping it’ll be ready for me to eat. Those two things should book up my afternoon.

I’m feeling kind of blah this morning. Hopefully that feeling will go away. 11,143!
