i was greatly disappointed by the way the magic played against the twolves last night; yes, i do like twolves as one of my fave western teams, but i also liked magic(though not as much as twolves), and i expected a much tougher showing... NOBODY on the magic was nailing anything, even though many of those looks were extremely insanely wide-open perimeter shots. at least lue did well, but i attributed that to the fact that he had played with mj on his team last year, thus gaining experience from the great one. however, that stuff aside, tmac did TERRIBLE; 2/20? wth?

on the other hand, i was DELIGHTED by the way the sonics played against the blazers and thoroughly whupped them... clearly i've underestimated one of the better teams in the west; at least, by their record(they have yet to lose a game), they are the best team right now... no dominance on the inside though so far, but they definitely play with heart.

highlights:
1)barry crossed up wells with a behind-the-back dribble, then passes to a sonic under the rim, who touch-passed it to a slashing reshard lewis(you da man!) for a 2-hand flush.
2)blazers' randolph actually pulled up, spun 360 like he was gonna pass, but then decided to just shoot, and made it! the announcers were going like "whoa... tony hawk eh?" I was going "dude! THAT WAS MY SHOT!"
3)sonics' buzzer went off for 14 min! haha... that was funny... delay of game for 14 min due to some technical screw up
4)perhaps the coolest play of the game? perhaps: barry drives in, then does a no-look pass... it BOUNCES off a blazer right back to him, then he spins outward back to the basket in midair and shoots just as he gets fouled... and scores! and it didn't even look silky smooth either, certainly not olang material, and you could tell he did not intend for that entire sequence to happen, but when you rewatched it again, it just looked so sweet...

bottom line... go sonics! heck, forget ray allen; murray just took your place! and how about reshard lewis!

life is looking up... they are right... simply studying a few each day frees up your time so much, and still enables you a chance to get some As...

starting to get back into MVC1 again... man, i need a controller...

i wonder if my diminishing craving for FPS cpu games again has something to do with: 1) a hankering for MVC1 again, or 2)wanting to seek God's presence again through songwriting...

damnit lebron... win a game already!
(that said, i think denver nuggets are an overall better team than the cavs; james > anthony, but denver has a lot more good ppl to work with; damn, why did gsw even trade away boykins? did you see the way he lit up tonight?)

woohoo... kings > twolves... in OT... too bad i couldn't see it

wizards > mavs... you go arenas!

pistons > celtics... :(

and i think i am starting to really begin to see how to manage my time wisely in davis, schoolwise over gaming... unfortunately, i still need to bring my spiritual devotion up a little.

*sniff*... outta trout... and i need to load up on groceries some too... man... i run through food pretty quickly...

and now ucd also had ucd wide wristbands! don't tempt me man...

songwriting... gotta do some of that soon...

this struck me as i was skimming the online bible for a reading of God's word before i would've dove into my studies for the night(i was in jeremiah since the last time i stopped reading the bible):

Chapter 5
30 "A horrible and shocking thing
has happened in the land:
31 The prophets prophesy lies,
the priests rule by their own authority,
and my people love it this way.
But what will you do in the end?

the last line got me: but what will YOU do in the end? as if God was speaking to me. will i sit by and watch others suffer when life stops? will i try to scold people and antagonize them even more? what will I do?

it's becoming more and more obvious why songwriters use a notepad for writing down their lyrics, not a document on a cpu; some ideas are never truly junked. oh, you may toss them during the beginning of writing a song, but you may come back to it... i've begun to realize this, and now am considering buying a notebook just for lyric writing, as opposed to using a cpu for writing down lyrics exclusively. i mean, taking a look at amy lee's handwriting when she was writing evanescence's songs really makes it dawn upon you.

boourns... warriors lost to lakers.

ah yes; wednesday nba night... nuggets and cavs... this should be good... go lebron!

let all the unworthy desires fade away til there's just one thing left, and that is a thirst for you...

and help me to see people the way you would, not the way i would... i'm seriously messed up

you go dunleavy... warriors > sixers... dunleavy had a HUGE night... 32 pts, 11 rebounds... amazing considering how we had only 7 healthy players... ugh though... it's gonna be tough facing the lakers tonight...
