Summertime Randoms

-congrats and much love BabyGirl on your milestone accomplishment ... I'm extremely proud of you ... also for getting not one, but two jobs right off the jump ... The place you're in at the moment affirms my position from December '09, I picked a winner ...

-been in serious training mode for the last month and a half ... back to the marathon running ... 10-12 K every morning, yesterday at 4 AM ... I'm loving my new speed bag, I finally got the timing down ... a great compliment to my already great regimen with the weights and heavy bag ... While y'all sleeping, I'm working ... While y'all working, I'm HAM'n ... I've even got BabyGirl doing some pad work ... no word of a lie, she's got fast hands ... my girl gonna kick your a$$es LOL ...

-Prophet and Anthro, I've got a good idea for an app that I'll spin off to you guys when I get the chance ...

-"J make sure you get gas, it's cheap today" ... "How much?" ... "$1.25" ... SMH ... I still remember when it was $0.40 ...

-I was in an Asian convenience store and just needed to break a $20 ... and got the typical response, "you have to buy something" ... that's a "Falling Down" moment right there, just needed a baseball bat ...

-one of the idiots in the Vancouver riots had his address posted on Facebook, subsequently leading to death threats ... then he was on TV shedding tears ... "two wrongs don't make a right" yadda yadda ... but he was asking for it ... trouble doesn't find you, if you don't go looking for it ... maybe you'll think twice the next time you set something on fire you puckhead moron ... zero sympathy ...

-movies? I'm really intrigued by Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Apollo 18 ... I may be convinced into checking out the new Transformers, which is said to be a more mature storyline ... hey being open-minded worked once ie. Fast Five ... although I'm not really interested in Green Lantern, one because I'm not a Ryan Reynolds fan, two I've never been a fan of the character ... if it was The Flash, then we'd have something to talk about, word is that something is in the works ...

-when I'm not kicking Zona's sorry a$$ in NBA 2K11 or Fight Night Champion, I've been on the Batman: Arkham Asylum tip ... I've never been into any nerd games (Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty), but this one is absolutely great ... it combines so many elements: the greatest superhero of all time, detective mode, combat, Bat gadgets ... soooo looking forward to Arkham City, due out this October ...

-Wii U ... meh

-after laughing at Raptor Nation after Thursday's Draft ... I really don't see why everyone's so up in arms, like they're surprised ... but looking at it objectively, would Kemba Walker or Brandon Knight (two combo guards, who'll both need time to develop) really be a huge upgrade over Jerryd Bayless? ... Jonas Valanciunas is from Lithuania, and two past centers that have come from there Ilgauskas and Sabonis were (while not standout) actually capable defenders ... c'mmon, he can't be any worse than Andrea "Primo Pasta and Soze" Bargnani ... call me crazy but the Raptors are not in bad shape moving forward at all ... DeMar DeRozan, mark my words will be a top 5 shooting guard in the league ... I've looked at all the rosters and as far as 2 guards go, the only real standouts are Kobe, D-Wade and maybe Joe Johnson ... as far as young 2 guards, I only see Stephan Curry and DeRozan ... Ed Davis has already shown me that he can be a Jermaine O'Neal/Al Horford type player ... he's got great defensive and rebounding instincts ... he's just got to develop a consistent mid-range J ... DeRozan, Davis and Bayless are nothing to laugh at ...
