There’s been so many thrilling moments in Laker Playoff History from Magic’s Junior Sky, to the 2000 Western Conference Championship Game 7 Comeback, to Rob’s 3 pointer against Sac, to Fish’s 0.4 second shot.

But the beauty of this win is that the Lakers are the 7th seed. SEVENTH! That makes it even sweeter. They weren’t even supposed to make the playoffs. How can you possibly hate on an underdog?

(O wait, bay area folks are natural born haters.)

I was ready to put all the blame on Smush, what with the 0-10 start.

Quickly, how things can turn around.

This might just be the happiest moment of 2006.

(Or at the very least, I feel some kind of redemption on my Spurs – Pistons – Heat three team parlay. Whoops.)

You know what people need?

Love.

Now that I've got your attention -- people don't need love.

People need incentive and consequences.

As in, the most important thing in life is not love -- but merely necessity.

That is, people will do what is necessary for themselves at that particular moment.

Case in point: it is necessary for one to be loved, so we go and seek for that love.

And the consequences of not finding love: perpetual loneliness.

Personally, my mind no longer has romantic abysses, but has become shallow, with many cracks and gaps.

I can't get enough of the non-stop hoops of the NBA first round.

The playoffs always remind me of Spring...it always seemed that finals happened during the championship round. (Where, of course, the Lakers wrecked shop for 3+ years).

So the Spurs are the best team in the west, but 29th in the league in free throw percentage.

And to any Spurs fan, I feel your pain in regards to that achilles heel.

(Brent Barry just hit a 3 to tie the game. Wait, wait, wait...are you sure it wasn't Bob? And speaking of Brent Barry...the last Clipper team to the make the playoffs had Brent Barry, Darrick Martin, Loy Vaught, Stanley Roberts...and Terry Dehere? Yikes.)

The 2000-02 Lakers could not shoot free throws and also had this propensity to blow leads in the 4th.

Whatever happened to Sherman Douglas?

I said grapefruit juice man.

This is grapefruit juice.

No, it's grape juice.

Oh! grapeFRUIT juice!

No worries, i've never mixed grape juice with ketel. But I'm curious. If it's good, what should we call it.

The NOMAH Special!

If Nomar comes up clutch, it's definitely gonna be the NOMAH Special!

Strike. Strike. Groundout.

Who is this guy?

Strike. Strike. Strike out swinging.

I don't know but I'm about to pick him up for fantasy.

Strike. Strike. Strike out Looking.

Fuck man, guess we're calling it the Valverde Special.

Between the shot I took of Jaeger, I mean, black licorice Nyquil
to Max’s coming home hammered and yelling “Let’s go to the ROOM!”
to him humping his new Apple iMac
to us actually driving to the room at 11PM
to the three Goose-Greyhound I drank
and the cigarette I smoked
and the number I got (go me!)
to Max’s topless self portraits on my Canon
to the 4.5 hours of sleep
to me teaching all day
and listening to Oliver Wang and Adam Mansbach wax poetic at UCLA.

Let me just tell you.
This has been an interesting 24 hours.

Last year, with Jayson Werth in the 2 spot...the dodgers don't win this game.

But 56-year old Kenny Lofton still has some wheels, and JD Drew comes up clutch!

I wonder if there would be any legal ramifications of me making punch for my class and spiking it with three bottles of nyquil.

Kidding. Kidding.

Or am I?

Olmedo has gray hair.

So I'm watching some old In Living Color episodes on BET -- the season with Marlon Wayans and Jamie Foxx. And while the sketches are simple 12-year-old humor at best, the new jack performances bring me back to a time when Ed Lover and Dr. Dre were ruling the Friday night lineup on MTV. I do vaguely remember this ADOR joint back in the summer of '92 -- just an infectious summer anthem produced by none other than the #1 Soul Brother.

(And while procrastinating on these lesson plans, I stumble upon ohword.com. Ill.)

So what comes to mind at the words, Posse Cut ? Undoubtedlty Tribe's Scenario where Busta just steals the show with his "RAAAAR! RAAAR! Like A Dungeon Dragon!" verse.

But in my humble opinion, the most slept on posse cut of all time belongs to Heavy D’s Don't Curse. Check the lineup.

Heavy D.
Pete Rock.
CL Smooth.
Big Daddy Kane.
Q-Tip.
Grand Puba.
Kool G Rap.

Goofy ass budget video with Heavy D coonin his way around the set (as were most video's during this era)...but put all these MC's over a funky Pete Rock beat (someone find the sample!), and the results are astounding. I remember buying the cassingle in 7th grade at Sam Goody and while I forgot what was on the A-Side, the B-side included Don't Curse.

3:02.
Rewind.
3:02.
Rewind.
3:02.
Rewind.

You get the idea. Afrocentricity was huge in '92 with Ice Cube and Public Enemy ruling the airwaves with their profanity-laced political rage, so I think it's brilliant that the "Overweight Lover" flipped the steez and made a record about not cursing.

Good Morning class, how was everybody's weekend?

It was fun! We went to Pomona College!

Yeah? What did you guys do?

We crashed a party!

Did you learn anything?

Yeah, Mr. Doan. White people can't dance.

So you went to college, and all you learned was that white people can't dance?

Yep.

Well, I guess that's not a bad lesson to learn.

And while I'm getting racial, from the bleachers, they all really do look the same.

From Salary.com

Jockeys may be freelance or under exclusive or partial employment contracts with trainers. They are normally paid by the ride, but only if they win. Jockeys, or their agents, can negotiate prices with owners, but they usually receive something like 10% of the purse for riding a winner, 5% for a second or third place horse, and $50 to $100 for other mounts. Jockeys need to ride lots of winners in lots of races to make a good living. Most successful jockeys make a moderate living, though the stars make a great deal.

On average there's about 8 races a day. So a jockey, even if he doesn't win, will make $800/day.

When I grow up, I want to be a jockey.

First off, I have no idea what's going on with the world...but what I do know is that this blog is costing me about $0.10 per minute. So I better write whatever comes to my brain.

It rains alot in Puerto Rico. Except for today, when I finally hit the beach. It would suck to come back to L.A. and go to a tanning salon just to pretend I got a natural tan.

Friendly people in PR for sure! And everyone speaks English. Multiculturalism in the form of U.S. imperialism dating back to the 1890's. Ask President Woodrow Wilson.

So my Latin America exprience is now up to Brazil, Uruguay, and Puerto Rico. And the country with the most stunning women rank in this order.

1. Puerto Rico
2. Brazil
3. Uruguay

Not that my rankings actually carry any clout...just my humble opinion.

(Peace to the fly Butter Pecan Puerto Rican at the register of this Internet Cafe!)

Traveling alone????

Fun, and I could whatever the hell I please instead of suggesting things to others only for them to be like, uh....no, we're not joining you in the waterfall when their is a torrential downpour going on in the rainforest.

(Oh by the way, not only did I do that...but I also brought along my bar of Ivory Coast Soap and took an impromptu Waterfall shower while those watching from the bridge shrieked in horror/delight at the little Asian Man.)

I would like to have a drinking partner/ wingman at night though. Homie Roadtrip '07 -- Carribean?

Peace to all my readers from San Juan, PR!
