i think i just saw a "furry" yesterday on campus near the silo...

and it wasn't a girl who was doing this...

it was a guy... with tail and fox? ears

i was about to yell out "yo man halloween's over"

bringing back an oldie but goodie; had to labourously search my online journal to recopy and repaste this; for some reason i couldn't find it by searching "picks"

picks of the week:

1. bible verse:
2nd timothy 2:3-5:
(off the top of my memory:)
Thou therefore, endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
2. food:
Breyer's Vanilla Ice Cream with store-bought oreos
3. music equip:
...
4. place:
Computer Lab
5. song:
Guns N Roses: Knocking On Heaven's Door
6. sports game:
Chicago Bulls At Miami Heat; also thinking about Chicago Bulls Vs sacramento Kings tonight
7. thought:
It seriously amazes me how much bs women put about putting the toilet seat down. (you get this flak most of the time when a man and woman get together at dinner for some reason) Most of it has to do with how gross the toilet is when men piss over, THEREFORE, it should be their responsibility to put it down even when the woman is a guest in a house full of guys. Now, I could go on and on and stuff, but the main thing I wanted to put down is this:

Are women so stupid? I KNOW it's gross letting the toilet seat down with your bare hards, but nothing's preventing you from taking a piece of toilet paper(as it's right there), using it as a guard between your bare hand and the toilet seat to let the toilet seat down! I know most guys never bring this thing up in conversation, but are people so stupid as to not think about this one? Am I the only one who actually KNOWS this one? And does it?

Then again, maybe my mom is just way too ahead of this time(and most girls). My mom never had this stupid bs in our house about letting the toilet seat down, it was always "richard, you LEFT the toilet seat down; how many times do i have to tell you?" and (when i was a kid)"richard that's gross; next time you want to let the toilet seat down, use toilet paper." ALWAYS.
8. video game:
Capcom Vs SNK 2 - for some reason, i've grown very fond of this game, even though i don't have it, and even if i did, would be unable to play it. match videos for this game are NOT turtly. they're deep.
9. other(product):
Terminator 2 was a movie that was way better than just the average action shooter; I intend to someday own the special dvd.
10.other(various):
Hakeem Olajuwon is one of the top 5 centers in basketball of all time; people just don't realize it b/c they hug on MJ's nuts during the 90's. He had no real weakness in his game, was an excellant defensive player, and could create his own shot even if he picked up his dribble(as his specialty was the Dream Shake, a combo of head fakes and bball pumps). He also went through Shaq, Ewing, and Robinson in order to get his two rings, with no complimentary all-stars on his team, which only shows how much of a great player he was. I truly respect this guy, and he is my favorite dominant all-star out of the 90s next to Michael Jordan. Maybe my favorite now-not-playing center, next to Bill Russell. Ppl say Jordan was better, but they never played against each other in the post-season, so any conclusions we can make about who is better are inconclusive. I would've loved to watch Rockets take on the Bulls in the 90s for the chip.

edit: almost forgot clyde drexler was around when the rockets made a run at defending their title.

huh?

where you going? i gon' be on you like white on rice! foul! foul!

"Ric Bucher: Keep in mind with all prognostications: we're watching the game change before our very eyes. The precepts for winning championships are not the same. You can have a mediocre defense and win a title, but you have to have a great offense. It used to be the other way around. Now where the scales fall between O and D, that's what we're going to learn this season."

sadness... to add:

college ball has undeveloped players playing with basketball rules that make sense
nba ball has developed players playing with basketball rules that don't make sense

now THIS is trickshot pool

MC Pee Pants disses Kingdom Hearts

tha-roooooooooow back!

today, nba-wise was kinda bittersweet for me. more bitter than sweet though.

magic won at the expense of the bulls. that's mainly why it was bittersweet. one of my favorite up-and-coming eastern teams was going to fall today regardless, but i was at least hoping it would be closer. dwight's amazing though regardless.

and pistons lost.

sometimes i can't use statcounter.com to determine who actually visits my journal, because i do actually come back to it quite often seeing if anybody's commented. thus bloating up the number of unique visitors. who the hell would want to comment on my site anyhow?

---

wanna know how to piss people off without saying a word? stare at them until you get their attention. don't look angry or happy. just have this intense look in your eyes. keep your gaze right on them for a long period even after they lock eyes with you. then roll your eyes, shake your head and turn away. sigh if you want for added effect.

(note: i have not tried this yet, because while there's a couple of things that people do that annoy me, i am not that willing to anger others like that)

fyi, i really dislike it when people talk to themselves out loud.

i now have evanescence and guns and roses' cds. fallen and greatest hits, to be more specific. ac/dc was also on sale, but since i could not find "there's a long way to the top," i declined.

target store-exclusive nerfs:

big bad titan

big bad bow

me and jerm saw the big bad bow, didn't see the titan when we went to target on friday.

the bow's kinda kewl; reminded me of our ol nerfwar days, but it's more like the crossbow and less like the actual bow me and jerm used to have. it still looks cool, and maybe i MIGHT buy it sometime in the future. it comes with 6 arrows.

i like the titan more though; that thing maybe only has 2 arrows and they look really different, but check out the distance you can get with that thing; it's like a missile launcher!

bulls looked sick... loved it... especially when tyrus thomas came over to help and blocked shaq, and the two putbacks; one by thomas, one by ben wallace.

now get your broken nose healed thomas before you play against the kings.

if the bulls keep this up, i would LOVE to see the bulls meet the pistons for the eastern conference finals this season.

thought out of sheer boredom i'd post some scans from the school newpaper; they let you use the scanners for free:


weird advertisement for jack in the box; it's a coupon on the back. but this was like o_0 for me...


study in taiwan ad... yes, i was surprised too, but these have been popping up a lot more frequently in the davis paper; it showed up like ziltch in past years.


this one's special... i usually don't eat out unless i'm pressed for time, and only at a fast food restaurant. redrum used to print out these in the newspaper ALL the time. redrum is like a more expensive, more higher quality, slower-moving in n' out. so i'd usually go and use the buy 1 get 1 free coupon and get 2 1/3rd lb burgers(i think that was the largest you could order burger meat lb-wise without a combo), and since the original price was 7.00 something, i'd basically pay 3.50 or so for a really good burger. twice. now, they don't print these coupons out as often in the paper, and the last time i checked, when they do, it's not buy 1 get 1 free; it's buy 1, 2nd item's half off. this was the last coupon i found that had this exact offer. good times.

life seems so *eh* right now... should i be happy that batman beyond season 2 and jlu season 1 are out, as well as the nba starting this week? maybe... but it really all seems so superficial. "cheap thrills." don't deny it; this is the truth.

i stopped hatin on amare once i came to grips that just because he's on a defensively poor team does not mean he sucks. i will definitely watch him a LOT more closely this nba season(and hope his knees don't kill him, like mcdyess). i'm actually surprised how mixed the bag is in terms of predictions for nba champs this year at espn.com. no pistons picks(can't blame em though; flip's gotta first show that he can be more than just a season-long coach, and also a deep postseason coach), only 1 heat pick(again, can't blame em, although the fact that they overwhelmingly pick the heat to win the eastern conference again baffles me), tons of mavs, spurs and suns picks. mavs and spurs are a given, but surprised how a lot pick the suns. i call rockets as a darkhorse in the western race as well; they have bonzi and shane now.

*sigh* i just wish dwight howard would get monstrous already as well as bwall's bulls so i can stop hearing about how the western conference is so much better than the eastern conference.

this is so cool; i get to watch the bulls TWICE next week!

opening night against the heat,
then thursday against the kings.

hopefully i get to see wallace and thomas take the floor at the same time.

fyi, i saw brandon roy preseason against the kings. aside from the kings winning most of the game, roy looks pretty good.

R.I.P. Red Auerbach...

the best NBA coach ever...
