tony romo's newest girlfriend is jessica simpson(previous one was supposedly carrie underwood).

-i sense newlyweds 2 occurring.

lions just falling apart. although it mightve had something to do with roy williams.

jessica alba is pregnant apparently; you know you're from the bay area and keep up with hoops when the 1st response outta your mind hearing that is "way to go boom dizzle!"

my attitude with the spurs is... strange. they border on the list of teams that i like in the nba, but don't crack the list. there's both times that i really like them, admire them(i still really like tim duncan, and tony parker), admire their coach, their discipline, etc. but there's a number of things keeping me from fully embracing them, including how spurs fans magically turn a blind eye to bruce bowen's dirty play; look, i'm not trying to say he always plays dirty, or that he's a useless defensive player if he doesn't use his tricks(similar to my attitude with karl malone; malone w/o tricks = still good player; malone w/tricks = deluded HOF player). but he has a track record; like that jump kick against wally; how do you explain that one in the realm of just physical, hard defense? ginobili should not be flopping that much. i'm sure i could go on and on. but then, i see or read somebody comment on the internet about how boring the spurs are, etc, and all i want to do is deride them, asking what they consider winning basketball to be, and that if they had the exact same personal as the spurs on their team, they wouldn't be complaining; i don't buy the fact that certain teams need certain markets(although kobe in la and the vaunted 4 in detroit seems to sometimes support this). most nba franchises would KILL to have the spurs' lineup. it's similar to how people say all this about the patriots, but you know all that talk would've died if the exact same lineup was in the sf niners.

got an email today, and good thing i am able to return the mbox 2 mini and get a new one(they're even giving me the labels and stuff to ship at back too, making it free shipping). too bad they won't let me return it for a refund though. but they will get me a replacement, so a completely new mbox as opposed to a refurbished one, while still saving about 35 dollars sounds pretty good. i'll still have to buy all the other gear though; condenser mic, stand, cable, pop filter, etc. it's just that that other bundle offered on musician's friend sounded a lot nicer; i essentially would've been getting 2 monitors on top of the mbox and condenser mic and stand and cable, for just throwing in around 40 dollars more.

point is, i would've avoided this and gotten the bundle in the 1st place if 1)i just looked around a bit more instead of instinctively buying the mbox immediately and 2)looked carefully at the package after opening it instead of opening the factory sealed package, and then realizing the cd wasn't there. i basically need to learn how to evaluate stuff after buying it a lot better.
