i think i'll change what i initially said; from now on, 2 blog/week; 1 blog doesn't really give me a lotta time to do stuff, and in the end, it just leaves me writing down everything i wanna say for the weekend... that wouldn't help... so here we go, w/blog #1 of this week:

go kings :D i want the kings to represent the west for the finals this year; runner up would be spurs, then twolves. i was definitely surprised to see the kings take game 1 vs twolves though; hope it keeps up :D

spurs are up 2... that is awesome... game 1 was awesome... tony parker is a HUGE reason for the spurs' offense... he blows by ppl like you wouldn't believe... and considering that he's 21, he still has room to improve before he gets slow... he shook devean george, constantly runs circles around payton, drives around kobe like it's nothing... defense i don't need to talk about; it's the spurs, not the kings, for crying out loud :D that said, i love the play action that parker and duncan had at the end of 4th qtr game one; they ran a double pick n roll after parker got pissed; my all time favorite play of game 1 :D lakers are going down :D

and how bout the pistons limiting the nets to 56 pts :D ben wallace w/the complete package; 13 pts, 11 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 blocks... whadda player.

i thought about what sam has said, and it's so true; nobody wants to see defense for the nba finals; mark my words, though it wouldn't be boring(to me, sam, and bob, the spurs and pistons fans :D), ppl are afraid of the spurs taking the west and the pistons taking the east... defense ISN'T all boring and work; it can look good; both teams have their flashy streaks; you got parker on the spurs when they're on offense, blowing by ppl, ginobili always drives to the bucket, on the pistons, you have ben wallace just being an AWESOME defensive threat; rebounds, steals and blocks(THE complete package, and at about just 6-6 of ht)... they also now have rasheed, who is an excellant post threat, and of course on offense prince and hamilton are superb... ppl just dickride the espn guys; they may be right most of the time, but they're not right ALL the time. casual fans need to get something straight; defense is NOT all boring, and it's not unnecessary; defense wins your championships. i personally am amazed at the defensive ability ben wallace brings; he is not very tall, but he just outrebounds, steals the ball, and blocks ppl larger than him; that is athletic ability period.

i will have to buy a jump rope this weekend; so i can get on w/my hops program

what else; tues in davis is a great nite to eat out; it's like an azn night:
del taco: tues, 3 tacos are 99 cents. so at $4, you will be full dot com
31 baskin robbins: single scoop is 99 cents on tuesday nights.

phone service has been better in davis; cingular merged w/at&t, so now my phone actually gets reception in my apt :)

we replaced our living room tv, so no more lines across the screen when i'm watching the playoffs :)

favorite teams of mvc1: lilith/strider, red venom/wolverine, striderine, red venom/chun-li, double war machine; i think i would use striderine the best, but red venom/wolverine is up there too. both are just fun steroid teams; rush your opponent down and don't give them a chance to breathe; no duoing though. i've given up on strider/wm not cause i don't like this team, but it seems not as fun as double war machine. lilith/strider is also up there for duos; too fun w/this team, the only weakness is that lilith takes a while to get used to. heck, i've given up on mvc1; it's taken too much of my life away. (who the hell am i taking to w/this post?)

i read back on some of my earlier blogs when i first entered college... man, somewhere between then and now i lost my enthusiasm for college, what the hell happened? i want that again; i sounded so willing to dive into classes and stuff. i really need that attitude now again.

to close this blog, i'll give you 2 links; i'm always looking for new free music software, being the music freak that i am; here's what i've stumbled across:

OTS Turntables
this one's GOOOOODD... you can scratch your .mp3s, .wavs, and cds. change the pitch, tempo, decide when to fade in, when to fade out... the works... and it's free; this one's fun, fun, fun. ever tried playing lifehouse's "hanging by a moment" in reverse while scratching it to a switchfoot "dare you to move" going 20% faster in forward? :D can't save, but i did explain how i recorded stuff a while back. even if you don't scratch well, it's nice for your .mp3s; you can change the pitch and tempo; there's some songs that i've thought could be better if they were slower or had a lower voice; hint bob; you could practice worship songs by using this to change the pitch

Finale Music Notepad
write sheet music... BUT... you don't need to be a music theorist to do this(i know it's been a while for me); it will play the notes you put down as you're going along... this is GREAT for writing songs while you're not close to a guitar... and it will improve how you know music on paper as you're going along... definite recomend from me as well. it's free too; my only gripe is all the notes are played back on piano, but oh well
