Bittersweet getaway

I was sleep. Had a weird dream that woke my ass up. So here I sit. Got back in town a little after midnight. Had fun in NY. Met some nice people. Spent way too much money. My accountant was not on her job. Ate some good food. I never figured something as simple as lobster meat on fresh bread would be so fucking memorable. Too much to take in in only 3 days. Of course, decided not to bring a camera so all I have are the memories. And well, that's good enough for me to be completely honest. One big surprise was that the bathroom in Borders near MSG smelled way worse than any of the trains I was on. That fucking shocked me. But yeah, loads of good times. Sorry it had to end.

It's too bad Cavaliers coach Mike Brown doesn't have the necessary authority to tell James to spend his free time fantasizing about developing a consistent low-post game rather than feeding the media quotes about silly NFL dreams and Jordan's jersey number.

He's an incomplete, title-less basketball player who wants to possibly experiment with football. He's immature and shallow.

Well Mr. Whitlock, tell America how you really feel. I do agree with the man. Lebron has been sounding like a complete ass the past few weeks. The football situation kills me. I'm sure he meant it in jest (at least I hope he did), probably just talking out his ass. But to say anything relative to "I could play in the NFL" when you bitch about a weak foul every 2 minutes of every game.... HA! Somebody would clean his clock first time coming across the middle. Being 6'8 & 260 in the NBA, yea you're a monster. Being 6'8 & 260 in the NFL, you're just a bigger fucking target. I have no home team, so I cheer for multiple players throughout the season (Melo MVP Melo MVP) but LBJ is slowly making his way off my "I like watching his games" list and onto my indifference directory, along with Tim "The Zombie" Duncan and Dirk's goofy looking ass. And a major cosign on him getting a low post game. I mean, if you wanna be the best ever, take note of what the current best was up to during the off season. Also, MJ was/is an asshole. Fuck his number. Not his shoes though, they are still cool with me.

The first time I was introduced to the idea of eating grits outside of breakfast, it was a total accident. I believe it was with some beer brined chicken. Now, I will eat it with any fucking thing. Shrimp. Chicken. Crabmeat. Probably a damn hotdog if I ate them. Something about the texture combined with whatever juice/essence/pan-sauciness. Instant fucking hit. Having a nice size kitchen is one of the 2 main reasons I'd get a house while being a single guy. The other: a backyard BBQ.

Yah feel meh

I didn't start really watching The Wire until the 5th season. Is that strange, considering I was born and raised in Baltimore? I don't know. Anyway,..

"We did not design the show purely as an entertainment, but as a political treatise and social critique," he wrote in an e-mail to The Baltimore Sun. "To the extent that academia has found the work and is intent on extending the discussion, we are, of course, pleased."

Taken from an article about certain universities having sociology(I guess) courses that use the show as visual textbook of sorts. Is this proof that The Wire was one of the best dramas to ever be created? Maybe. My homeboy told me one time that he was appalled that the show didn't win more awards. According to imdb, only 9 total. It does seem like they should have won more. I've never watched the Sopranos but they raked in 82. Was it really that good?
