hahaha... today's "pearls before swine" cracked me up... i don't even know why; there's probably a lot funnier stuff on other days, but the owl just cracked me up today on the very last panel. stephen p.'s funny.

i want to go to the sanctuary today to practice drums after searching for some jobs... but given that today's Good Friday, i'm thinking there might be people praying there when i get there. on the other hand, i only practiced for 1 hour this week.

whew... won't have to think about taking the GREs so quickly now.

at the beginning of the ncaa men's div 1 bball season, after learning that the florida gators kept their starting 5 and none of them opted out to go to the nba draft, i picked them in my head to repeat. not in an expert point of view(i hardly consider myself even truly knowledgeable in ncaa bball). it was just based on these premises:

1) florida's starting 5 is much like the pistons/suns/mavs, where all their strength is spread out amongst them, and not concentrated upon one or two individuals; there's not as much star power on this team, but no duds just the same.
2) they just won with this team, and brought it back for the next season

so put two and two together, and you have to ask yourself why would anybody with half a brain even THINK anybody else could win in dominating fashion?

i wanted ohio state's great duo of michael jr and greg oden to win, mind you. oden was just impressive all-around tonight. but i knew pretty much that florida was going to repeat. and my 2 premises proved true tonight; ohio state's 3-pt shooters were throwing bricks and the gators were just nailing em.

(shaq picked ohio state to win. i wonder if anybody on the pistons/suns/mavs they picked florida to win)

espn article on who else should be considered in the hall of fame

man, the fact that the writer considers dennis rodman and bill laimbeer is awesome. i've always wondered whether if dennis rodman did not have his off-court theatrics, whether he'd be in the bball hall of fame right when he ended being a bull. watch the way he rebounds and dominates, and seriously ask yourself if anybody else rivals his ability.

i'm just kicking myself on why the hell i want to finish "interstate 76," "batman beyond season 3" "justice league unlimited season 2" and the 3 movies i checked out from the library before i actually watch the pistons dvd. but it's actually how i feel about it.

fyi bob, chris, tentative idea at the moment, but if you want, and have saturday afternoon free(or maybe next weekend; i know the pastors need to work on their sermons hard this week), i'd be game for bringing the championship pistons dvd over and watching a full game or two of the bad boys in their full out-physical glory. the shooters can learn from dumars, and the big guys can learn from rodman :D
