i feel bad for ben wallace... he must have like at least 8 older siblings... that's a lotta peeps he's gonna mourn for if he lives to a ripe old age... anyways, get better soon man! pistons need your defensive effort!

i dunno whether i REALLY like the kings anymore... not that me considering myself norcal means i'm a kings fan at no 1, more like a warriors fan... i still like em, but... eh... you could say they're hella bad defensively... plus, now they look like the lakers of past(teammates bickering, etc)...

dreyer's pumpkin ice cream is hella good. has cinnamon and nutmeg in it. pumpkin pie style. now, if they made it ol skool 31 baskin robbins style(add chunks of cheesecake, complete w/graham cracker bits), that'd be top tier(btw, why don't they bring back that flavor? that was good stuff...)

speaking of which... mmm... pumpkin pie.

what the hell is kobe looking at in that pic anyways? :D

dialect is dialect... don't hate on it... what, you think you're better just cause you speak the language of a better society, or a better state, etc? bullshit.

our apt now has 3rd strike, and my fingers are just CRYING that i need a joystick... ps controller... so... frikkin... bad... for fighting games. but i still manage to have a 30+ win streak on jerm :D it's partially cause sometimes i'll just watch ppl playing 3rd strike in the mu, so i understand theory-fighter-wise how to play the game, but it's also cause he always has these patterns he goes into occasionally, like not tick throwing(hence i could just sit and block all day if i wanted to), not being able to combo into super, doing special moves that leave him in bad recovery if blocked, etc. he also almost always eats overheads when getting up. the big one though, is that he just doesn't know how to poke well right now. i have a lotta weaknesses too right now, but concerning what i'm playing with, they're manageable.

don't get me wrong though, it's not like jerm's trying to improve upon himself. but i guess i'm not the only one suffering from the crap ass ps controller. the d-pad sucks; you can't roll it at all. if you do, it feels really awkward. sony must've been on crack when they were designing the pad. and i'd say ditto w/x-box controller(crap ass)... best pad i've ever used of any system, was interact's propad 6. THAT was a good pad. not a lotta features, but it was smooth. i pulled off dragon punches on either side at will. if i couldn't do something, it was because of me, not the pad. of course, a mass stick is still the ultimate for me... when it comes to joysticks. but it costs even more than an x-arcade... so we'll shoot for that(should be fine for our purposes, unless we go slam-crazy on the joystick or yank it til it breaks)
