know how i was salivating over the fake tay gave on kobe to tilt him over?
clicky
looks like not a lotta ppl actually uploaded the block by ben wallace on drew gooden(it was sick); maybe i'll put it on youtube as well; it's just that by past experience, youtube doesn't put up videos until 1 day has past; i'm kinda afraid that by then, there'll be a plethora of the same video(seeing how i don't like the lakers, nothing enrages me more than seeing about 300 of the same video of kobe posterizing ben wallace when he was on the wizards). and the thing is that i haven't gotten used to uploading a clean video; VirtualDub allows me to resize videos by adding a black background, that way the videos don't get distorted and lose quality, but it won't work with .asf, which is the ONLY format that the program i use to save the .asx files from nba.com are in. you can see an example of how bad it is by looking at the ben wallace putback i have uploaded(i've kept it up there, cause i've meant to change it, but don't want to just take it down until i've fixed it):

picks of the week:
1. bible verse:
i've been trying to memorize about 4 this week, mainly b/c 3 i kinda already know, but i like these off the top of my head:
Psalm 138:2
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In this world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
(still trying to memorize Philippins 3:13-14; haven't quite gotten it down yet)
2. food:
Even though i never cook it, i'm thinking about "tsa mi." Can't be THAT hard to cook. I'm just not good at chopping stuff up really small, so i wouldn't be able to stir fry too well.
3. music equip:
... (again)...
4. place:
Arboretum
5. song:
(from now on, i'm gonna link the song portion to napster(or a youtube video if i can't find it); they allow you to listen to a free track from their vast library once, which will enable you to sample the song i list)
Just remembered this one from watching CMC when i was a late teen
6. sports game:
pistons at lakers... (for bouncing back from the awful showing i saw when they were at arco arena and my main man tayshaun showing he's one of the most versatile 3's in the game)
honorable mention goes to hornets at warriors for warriors actually winning, and vikings at niners, for niners doing the wtf and winning with defense
7. thought:
we live in a world where the pressure is on you to always conform to society, or you are viewed as nothing. for the early years of my life until i was a late teen, i bought into that lie, thinking it would buy me friends, and that that would make me happy. now i see through it. if soloman, the wisest king and possibly one of the richest kings of the world saw through that lie(by trying ever sort of pleasure in the world), why would it change simply because of father time?
8. video game:
eh... the video games i list tend to not change. it's roughly vf- > cvs2 > ssf2t > tk5dr. i think what i'll do from now on is link to a match video if it's a fighting game.
ssf2t - john choi(o.sagat) vs daigo(o.sagat/ryu/balrog)
classic... watch daigo's balrog make a huge comeback and rip up john choi to advance... crowd reaction is awesome too... fyi, daigo is not as technical compared to other top ssf2t players, but his reaction time is rediculously good.
9. other(product):
batman beyond season 2 is awesome... i'm not even halfway done with disk 1. and there's 3 more to go!
10.other(various):
fasting was good. i'm glad i did it. came at a good time, plus, for some reason ucd was honoring veterans day on a friday, so i got to go to campus early and just pray and read the bible at the arboretum until the library opened at noon, then do some work.

i love tayshaun...
that jumper was just going his way... and it wasn't really an ankle breaker, but just to see kobe fall down guarding tayshaun was kinda cool.
i have a feeling that on friday night chris, george and bryon did not enjoy tayshaun... JUST A HUNCH
fyi, 2 most interesting things i heard about tayshaun that the commentators said during that game:
-he had 47 relatives of his attend that game; tayshaun's hometown is in compton.
-he has such a great wealth of sports knowledge, concerning college and professional basketball; they might have even said some other stuff that he knew(prof football?), that one of his nicknames that his piston teammates call him is T.P.dot com. as in, if they don't know something, they'll say, "i gotta go check T.P.dot com."
(though their games are not that similar, tayshaun reminds me a LOT of joe dumars; like joe, tayshaun is the team's best perimeter defender, and really really quiet, but just does his thing so well; perhaps he'll like joe, get a finals mvp, eventually become the pistons manager one day and bring the pistons another trophy on the managment side of bball)

wrote this a while back and saved it on my usb drive; i figure i might as well post this so i can get rid of the doc file. and clear up some minute space on my usb drive.
in pure boredom, i looked up evanescence on wikipedia, and used it as a stepping stone to find out more about them. what got me was how they said that they were not a christian band. i know it's been discussed before, but my focus of concern was mainly the article that was on christianitytoday.com that talked about them.
the thing they(evanescence) said was basically this; if you listened to their lyrics, you would tell immediately that they were not a christian band. and what got me was the fact that the article said that several christian music reviewers DID listen to their cd, and thought FAVORABLY of their cd, thinking it should have been on their shelves.
did that hit you the way it hit me?
you see, if the band members of a music group are christian(amy and moody did profess to be christians), their lyrics don't contain profanity, and are actually positive, upbeat messages, but DON'T actually make their songs about God, ie you don't hear the exact words(praise God in it) is that still christian music? if you did not know that the band members of any christian rock group or hip-hop, r&b, pop, whatnot were christian, if they weren't played on air1, would you know right off the bat that they were christian? my intuition tells me no.
some people say that being in a musical group and being christian does not oblidge you to have to praise God in your lyrics. it might not be your calling. how can you call yourself a christian then? can you truly call yourself a christian if you do not live and breathe christ? and if you don't, can you truly say he's influenced your life to the point where you make it your no 1 priority in life to live out the greatest commandment as listed in mark 12:29-30? you can tell me peter was a fisherman and paul was a tentmaker, but nobody who was a christian and their main occupation was to sing songs ever sang secular songs as their occupation in the bible. i have not come across such a person as of yet in my bible studies. when david appointed psalmists and musicians, it was to praise God as their occupation. and yet today, we have a breed of christians who sing songs not about God as their job.
sometimes i don't even consider what i hear on air1 or klove as the same calibur as christian music; i just consider it "good music." ie, if i like the melody, cool. seriously, how many times do they state God or Jesus in their songs? how many times is it written in a sense that is in AWE of God? do i need to listen to a postive song in order to right my paths(i am stating this b/c it's easy for people to say that we need to listen to positive music in order to do what's right; hello, we're christians; we have a bible for that)?
why would i bring this up? take a look at the book of psalms. those were books written in praise of God; genuine christian songs. now see how many times God or Lord is stated in each psalm, how many times the psalmist praises him for his works, his words, his creations, his justice, his mercy.
you don't even need to look that far back; take a look at the hymnals most people in contemporary worship services never sing(even as songs in their contemporary worship rotations); those were genuine praises to God; those lyrics had thought and awe written all over them. "this is my story, this is my song, praising my savior, all the day long." how many "christian songs" these days actually say something like that?
(compare that with air1 playing hawk nelson's lyrics of "you got me at jesus," which sounds more like a song about christiansingles dot com)
---
now i'm not saying if you are not a songwriter that you get off scot free. we all have our responsibilities to reach out to others as christians; that's a constant weak spot in my maturity. i'm trying to show that the songwriters' medium for communicating jesus is that much more easier, just because they're a songwriter. if they can't even muster the courage to say "praise God" in their lyrics when they claim to be a christian band(in America, where the worst that can possibly happen is they get booed), maybe they aren't very christian to begin with. it's so interesting how society has a double standard where if you talk about hos and bling in your lyrics and cuss your head off, that's fine, but if you talk about God, whoa there...

bank commercial
japanese fanta commercial
hahahaha
even though pistons lost, i had to save the recap of that game; incredible highlights on both teams, and the end was just crazy; clutch play by daron, and then clutch defense by tayshaun to steal the ball, followed by okur winning it with a block. i love the jazz AND the pistons.
and i saved the warriors-mavs recap because i couldn't find a single highlight of baron driving and dunking; just the recap.
i really think they're not calling the zero tolerance rule properly. this is just like the leninent interior foul stuff; it favors nice-guy superstars way too much. sheed got a tech for saying "and1."
