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.
