So, B Cubed– this ones for you. This sounds awfully like a beer commercial so I’ll stop.
This weekend I’ve spent with my family, we went to the coast yesterday and today, it was nice. I have no digital camera that I can have fun with… so no pictures.
I don’t know when it happened. Parts of tonight even slowed and moved in slow motion…
The last minute of the Blazers game, screaming at the ending… so much that you can notice a change in my voice! I was jumping up and down, … it was quite a scene.
You see, moments after the Suns rattled off a 3 pointer with only 30 seconds left in the game to give them a 3 point lead, we drove the lane- kicked it out for a wide open three and nailed it to tie the game.
I shook my dad and got him out of his seat, my mom stood with me– high fiving me and yelling along with the crowd.
The Suns went down, tried to score… but we took the ball from them, calling a timeout with about 20 seconds left in the game.
We stood in amazement. The lowly Blazers, who were just one possession away from beating the #2 team in the NBA (the Suns).
The arena was about to explode with excitement… heaven was certainly peering in to see what all the commotion was about. I looked at my hands— beat red.
Blazers inbounded. Travis Outlaw drove the lane, and took a nice lay up. The crowd was awed into silence as he drove past the opposing players. The ball, rimmed around….
The arena let a sound that I’ve not heard in a long time as the ball came out. The disappointment and letdown of this momentous moment. The Suns in bounded the ball with 1 second left, and a moment later we went into overtime.
It didn’t turn the greatest, we lost in overtime. But we played a heck of a game.
You could say I love my Blazers.
And tonight I got an email and then it clicked for me, I realized…..
Haven’t updated in a little, so I thought it was time.
My family and I went bowling tonight. We played 6 games. I won 3, my mom 2, my dad once. My two high scores were 157, and then 147. Could have been much better.. but not a horrible game either. It was fun…
During the game I sent out texts as I heard songs playing that I didn’t want to forget…
One of them was…. We are the Champions.. remix. Listen to it (here). You should really listen to this one!
I like it hahaha I know I’m crazy, but that is okay by me.
Happy Birthday… MOM.
I know she occasionally reads this…..
Haven’t felt like talking on the phone much lately. I haven’t even had my phone on me unless I leave the house. On Tuesday night… I will be going to the Blazers game (as a part of my mothers birthday gift). Even if they are seats at the very top of the whole arena.. at least we will be at the game.
It’s 2am.. almost 3. I can’t sleep… but if it makes anyone feel better, I have been getting an average of 5 to 6 hours of sleep.
I can’t believe its February. A few more days and I will have more birthdays ranging from b2 to my bro.
Blazers have won a few close games, and lost a few close games. In overtime too.. they are becoming a really exciting team to watch, regardless of who they play.
So I didn’t watch any of the Superbowl, not even the commercials. I was told the Colts won, but who cares? Not me. I remember last year I watched it.. only because I wanted the Seahawks to win.
Today was such a nice day. The night was even better.. cool, but not cold. Nice enough to wear a light jacket. The mist was setting into the hills of the valley tonight. It almost looked like it was painted. It was fantastic, I just wanted to stay outside…. The smell that I can smell on nights like this, well… it is nights like these that make me want to never leave this place as I’ve not found another place quite like it. It is the same smell you get when you take the freeway out to the ocean. You go through these roads covered by trees that you think you only see on car commercials. The ocean air moves inwards (as it is not the smell of seawater) and on a nice summer day it cools the air, mixing with the trees, for this sweet sweet smell that I’ve come to know.
How true is this statement, “everything looks perfect from far away”…
I just heard that phrase said, so it isn’t all that random…
Finally, I leave you with… three quotes that are rather short.
“Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man.” – J. Robert Oppenheimer
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.” – Oscar Wilde
“Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows.” – David T. Wolf
I should start now by waving the Live Long and Prosper sign to ya’ll.
All night tonight I have been looking up stuff. It started with random stuff…. then that led to stuff from Star Trek. Man.. it’s old stuff. I want to eventually buy the DVD’s.. old and new. They hold a lot of memories in them. Star Trek has another movie coming out next year. Right now it’s called Star Trek XI (for the 11th movie). Some big stars are rumored to play in it.
Sports today….
The bad news or good news first?
Bad. Blazers lost tonight. Good. Suns streak was snapped. 🙂
I was browsing online some more today, and I found this link. check it out… (click next image to see more)
A few days ago I was online (big surprise). As many of you know, I’m a Back to the Future fan. Have been since I was just a little kid. Are you? You’ve probably never wondered where this stuff took place at, but if you wanna see anyway(where scenes took place, and how to find them).. click this.
I seem to be full of links this post. *resists the urge for more*
How much changes.. in just 1 year. One more link- this time to myself! 🙂 ( This time last year )
A year ago, I would have been wishing for better times.. maybe a year or so further back. And now? I try to not wish for the past. I don’t think doing so is healthy. I, in some respects.. am anticipating my future….
Ever notice, how you can be struggling with something… and someone else will be going through the same thing as you. Just in a different situation with different people? I don’t know how to describe it. With some people.. it has happened in multiple times. I feel better connected to those people.
This doesn’t seem to be the best week – for anyone! Brandy is still sick, others just not having a good week.. and the list goes on. Pray for one of my friends (that I’ve known for a few years now…) who just found out that their mom has lung cancer.
After twelve years of therapy my psychiatrist said something that brought tears to my eyes. He said, ‘No hablo ingles.’ – Ronnie Shakes
