Lazy Monday

THIS NBA LOCKOUT IS STUPID
Please, get it over with
The NFL is great and all, but in the end we all know that basketball is king.
It makes me sad to think that we may miss a year of seeing lebron, wade, blake, durant, rose, Dwight, wall, and other stars during the key years of their careers
I’ve said this over and over again but…..
WE CAN’T WASTE THIS KIND OF TALENT!!
It’s frustrating to think that we’re missing out on a sport that we love because of money issues… and not because there’s a lack of it but rather, because people don’t want to share it.
Great lesson we’re teaching the world

It’s a great time to be a Washington sports fan!
Just kidding.. kind of
The skins are playing like the skins (Matt Barkley!! He already rocks the red and yellow, why not burgundy and gold?)
The caps are playing well, although you always wish the great 8 would stop playing like a little girl and start taking over like he used to…
The wizards are undefeated for the 2011-2012 season so far!! They probably won’t lose a game in November!
The nationals have one of the richest owners in baseball… so…. Within the next 5 years they will be one of the most dangerous teams in baseball.. you heard it here first
The hokies… play GT this week… LET’S GO HOKIES!!!
DMV stand up!!

Switching gears…..
Few things in life upset me more than going through a drive-thru.
That is all I want to say about that

One of the greatest things about Fall is the weather
It makes living in Virginia a lot more bearable during these times…
People seem livelier by the prospect of the heat finally going away and pumpkin spice latte season arriving
Yesterday was one of those days that you kind of wished just wouldn’t end… weather wise
Fall is such a nostalgic season
One of my favorite memories of fall is during thanksgiving when I get to go to my uncle’s house
It’s the only time I ever get to see all of my family
To me it’s simply good enough just to see them
I’m not very talkative with my family… it’s always small conversations here and there, but there’s always a moment where I realize this is familia… I love that moment, I can’t explain it, but there’s just always some moment where I’m really glad that I’m there and not anywhere else
I’m not a very good son, brother, nephew, grandson, but I’m so glad I have this family
I know it’s not thanksgiving yet, but I am very thankful for my family
They’ve been way better to me than I have been to them
And isn’t that what love is all about
I was reading an article about this Rwandan man who forgave a man who killed his brother, that they now consider each other “friends,” and one of them said something that really made me think: Love is the weapon that destroys all evil
Not the most eloquent statement but it gets the job done
It’s at least something to think about

I watched Inception this weekend for the first time since I saw it in the theaters
It was as mind-numbing as the first time
Got me thinking about awesome movies

Forrest Gump- GREAT movie, brings out all the emotions you’d want in watching a good movie, you laugh, you cry, you get angry, and you smile. tom hanks tore it up. People always bring up the fact that pulp fiction should’ve won all the awards FG did… to them I say, SUCKERSSSSSSS……

Remember the Titans- Legit movie, brings out many of the same emotions from Forrest Gump.

Usual Suspects- I hate movies with twists…I don’t kno why.. (and yes I understand there is irony in that considering I was a huge WWF/WWE fan for so long… ), but this movie…. Wow… the twist of all twists….

Zoolander/She’s the Man- These two movies… no matter what I’m doing, if it’s on, I drop whatever I’m doing and watch… no matter how far into it you are

Life is Beautiful- GREAT movie, it’s up there with FG… great story, brings out every emotion, brilliant balance between comedy and tragedy

Gladiator- You will be entertained…..

Thai yurd…..
