New Beginnings

What a lame title, deal with it
So i moved offices today and thought it would be fun to update the people on the roller coaster that is my life
and by roller coaster i mean the kiddie pool that is my life
yet another lame attempt at entertainment, i'm on fire!
Anyways, I’ve moved from an office into a cubicle, which means I’m moving on up!
Or probably quite the opposite…. I feel like Milton from office space
If they steal my stapler I’m burning this place down!
Just kidding, I have two anyways… and they’re both automatic!

Today I got my first free meal from this company, and only because a meeting was canceled, so like the scavengers that we are, we ran down and took all the free food and drinks we could find
Unfortunately we didn’t go down fast enough
My winnings: Half a sandwich, a cookie, a bag of sunchips, and a diet coke
You’re probably thinking “that’s not bad”
And you’re probably correct
But I went down with dreams of filling my fridge with piles of sandwiches and chips galore with a cookie mountain that I could take advantage of at all times of the day
Ugh, the crust is so stale

Went to a wedding a few weeks ago in Kansas City
I’m telling you, people are so friendly as long as don’t live on the east coast
Weddings are very bittersweet
On one hand, you’re friend found a friend that they are going to spend the rest of their life with, they’ve officially declared that they no longer eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and watch tv shows by themselves ever again if they don’t want to, how lucky!
On the other hand, you begin to wonder if you will spend the rest of your life eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and watching tv shows alone in the basement of your parents house
I’m talking about no one in particular… just saying

Now that I have a cubicle I’m free to do whatever I want without fear that my coworker will see what I’m doing and judge me
So expect more updates and life lessons
HA just kidding

I recently got a new phone after 2 years with my precious blackberry tour
The last week that I had my phone I suddenly got super nostalgic and sentimental about not using my blackberry anymore
It was like that How I Met Your Mother episode where Ted gets sentimental about a relationship that had literally been destroying him.
This girl was basically ruining his dreams of becoming a great architect with a signature building. They constantly argued, never seeing eye to eye about anything. Yet when he knew he had to break up with her, he suddenly became nostalgic and sentimental about the moments he had and was second guessing his decision.
That was EXACTLY how I felt about my Tour. After I preordered my new phone, all of a sudden this rush of sentiment ran through me like… what the frack are you doing?!?!?
I was reminded of all the great photos I had taken with my phone, how it saved me from wanting to quit my job, and the endless conversations I could have with my friends through my phone. I really think I talked more to my friends through my phone than I did with physical interactions. Embarrassing? Absolutely.
Eventually though, I snapped back to reality and began cursing at my phone again after it restarted on my for the 3rd time in 2 hours, having to wait 15 minutes each time for it to reboot.
My new phone is cool.. not as cool as everyone told me it was going to be… but cool nonetheless…. I’m not a very big apps guy, I just wanted a phone that let me talk to people, whether it’s through gchat, texting, or actually voice calls…. The other stuff is just extra….
I was not meant to have an iphone…. Hahah

This NBA lockout needs to end NOW!
I have two friends that now work in the bidness (as we like to call it)
I would like to see them do what they do, especially the new ballboy, I heard he’s trying to Rudy it up for the Wizards!

Here are my favorite NBA players to ever play the game.. starting 5 edition (90’s and up… because lets face it… I never got to see anything before then)
1.) SG- Jordan… simply the greatest… most entertaining… most dominant
2.) PF- Tim Duncan… the greatest power forward to ever play the game… his game was so pretty… by far the most underappreciated SUPERstar of our generation… people only see the 4 championships and think he’s good only because he won.. no it was much more than that… he was supremely skilled on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball, hyper-competitive, he got it done day in and day out… people are always looking for flash and that wow-factor… people always said kevin garnett was better…those people are dummies…
3.) SF- Grant Hill…. The ken Griffey jr. of basketball… had a great pedigree.. coming from Duke and all…. His game had no flaw.... his game was so pretty that it was winning beauty pageants…. He could do it all… if it weren’t for injuries, we would have been talking about him and not kobe as the next great one..
4.) C- Hakeem Olajuwon…. The defensive wizard… for a guy who was 7 feet tall… he moved like he was a small forward…. He moved so fluidly and with such agilty… there may be another shaq (Dwight howard) but there will never be another hakeem… NEVERRRRRR
5.) PG- How could I go with anyone but Jason Kidd here? Grant Hill, but the pg version.. another player who could do it all, his court vision is unmatched up to this very day… he was not that athletic, he couldn’t shoot at the beginning of his career (Ason anyone?) But he’s still relevant.. he just won his first championship… crazy…..
Bench-
- Chris Webber.. the greatest passing forward of our generation…he was SO much fun to watch.. but the anti-duncan… wasn’t a finisher, I think that timeout in the ncaa championship really messed him up for life…
- Lebron… kind of in the same boat as Webber.. can’t be the one that finishes.. but man is he fun to watch!
- Ray Allen… the greatest shooter EVER… his jumper is prettier than grant hill’s game… and that’s actually saying a lot
- Deron Williams… simply love his game… he’s a bulldozer who knows how to play and make those around him better
- Shaq… he was sick, no way around it.. he irks me because he had such a HUGE weakness and it was something he never truly got better at… (free throws) and I kno that’s petty.. but something about him, it was fun to watch him dominate… he made it look so easy… I don’t know.. it was a love/hate relationship with him…..

Well that was fun… kept me busy …

Enjoy
