I called it.  Won all three games last night.  It was a pretty good showing from everybody on my team, and I’m very happy with how we played.  Let’s run through the players:

Center whose name I don’t know:

• Terrible hands
• Could not score
• Did not defend well
• WAS a factor defensively (a body is a body)

L:

• Played very good help D inside
• Was not very effective playing D outside
• Did not close out very well
• Shot wasn’t there
• …But made em when it counted

K:

• Shot wasn’t there
• Took too many bad shots
• EXCELLENT full-court pressure D
• Excellent wing D

ND:

• Shot wasn’t there, but didn’t force it
• ACTIVE THE WHOLE TIME
• Put a body on the bigs
• Dedicated himself to D
• Mr. Energy
• Too much useless pressuring of ball
• Great at keeping ball alive

The KING

• Took a lot of bad shots
• Still shot a really high FG%, scored the most points
• Adequate D
• Did not box out/board very well
• Passed late 80% of the time

As a team, we dominated.  The common factor?  Everyone helped out on D.

You know what I don’t get?  I don’t really see why being a fireman is considered a sexy job in the United States.  I mean, sure they save lives, but so do EMTs.  You don’t hear EMTs being tossed around as sexy.  And I get that they flirt with danger, not only from the fire but from risk of asbestos cancer, but hey.  Being a policeman is just as dangerous.

At the end of the day though, it doesn’t really matter what I think.  I’m a dude.  The only profession I find sexy is being a lawyer.

People have different methods for losing fat, but personally, my favorite weight loss product is a good old chicken breast.  It’s filling, it’s low in fat, it’s high in protein; what more does anybody need?  It’s also really tasty.

You disagree?  Well, it’s been working for me.  Replaced around half my meals with chicken breasts, marinated in my special marinade of course, and I’ve lost around 5lbs doing so.  Of course I’ve been lifting weights like Arnold in Pumping Iron and balling a few times a week at home, so that might have had something to do with it.

But hey, I look at chicken breasts as a DELICIOUS alternative to fat-burning supplements.  Cheaper, too.

Wedding presents.  That’s what Mark Twain said, I think.  Of course, I was never a fan of Twain’s writing, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I totally disagree with that.  I think everytime you get a gift, that’s AWESOME.

Speaking of wedding party gifts, I wonder if I need to find one for the wedding we’re going to be attending a few months from now.  I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it, I guess.  Maybe it’s a little too early to be thinking about it.  Never too early to start thinking about my abs, though.  These abs are my ticket to a new iPhone.

I’m actually pretty happy with my body.  I started any form of exercise really late in life, but I just picked it up like I’d been working out all my life.  Just a lot of natural strength.  You won’t see me signing up for disability insurance or anything like that.

Maybe it’s because my dad’s side of the family did a lot of manual labor.  Those genes had to come from somewhere.  That would explain the large hands and the strong back.  The pretty face, that probably came from my mom’s side of the family.

I crack me up.  ANYWAY, I was given this body, and I’m determined to make it even more awesome!
