Monday Morning
Life is good. What a weekend. Saturday’s big BBQ extravaganza actually turned out really well. Everybody seemed to have a good time and lots of new folk made some friends. I strrruggled with the grill at first but with everyone watching, my manhood was on the line so I kicked it up a notch and we had a steady stream of cheeseburgers once the coals got hot. Played some 21 with my brother and Lady’s Man Dave and I made a few nice shots from Downtown but… I didn’t win. <smile> Love the outdoors – that’s the place for me.
On a serious sidenote, I’m taken aback by how cynical ppl. can be. Nobody likes a Pollyanna – bright eyed but blind to Real Life – but to be fair, there’s no need to destroy belief in everything. It’s ultra hip to bash things – even the Sacred. I imagine some ppl. speak with an invisible cigarette in hand, a brooding wisdom spilling from their lips. They think they’re James Dean, leaning against a lightpost, speaking of religion and politics with a flick of a wrist; thousands of years of debate, rebuttal and evolution – disappearing with the ashes.

Mud
Enjoy the sun-baked Coolness of
Your politico-slop and postmod-muck
Flinging it around like it’s the
Greatest Thing on Earth
When all you’re doing is robbing
Hope and Throwing it
Up against a wall
Those Marlboro fools
It’s Hollywood cool
To be cynical.

Anyhow, it’s a good morning. I’m off to grab my hasbrowns and coffee. Check out Jordan on a rampage! I think I’m gonna cry. Let’s see Kobe do that when he’s 40. Shoooot.

Two eprops for you! Glad to hear that things are going so well in your “Superman” world. Golly, I wish I could be like “Superman=Mr. Daniel Kim. How do you do it? Somethin’ must be in the you imbibe. Please send it over…to the EaSt SiDe.MJ: OMG…did you watch the game? Fantastic game. MJ delivers a stellar performance despite a disappointing outcome. B-ball: Did you happen to catch the last 2:23 minutes of the 4th quarter of Lakers vs. Sixers? Wow…awesome game. Yes-Sir-Rey! And also, did you hear about the Duke vs. UNC game? Did you hear about David Robinson–one of my fav. b-ball playas..he’s injured..yet again. (San Antonio Spurs needs to deliver! )Enuf of B-ball talk..icould go on forever and ever…perhaps this summa’! =DK’…God bless..may you continually find joy and peace in every good thing.Always,Sunmy
You don’t think Kobe could do that when he’s 40? Well, probably not. …By that point he’ll have wisened up, quit the game, and landed a lucrative job announcing and being an analyst for ESPN or ABC.
It was a great game, though. Damn, Jordan is good…
DK,
This is why I’m like Hank Hill and believe in the power of propane.
WANTED to watch “The Pianist”, but saw “25th Hour” instead. Most of the times, I don’t mind viewing movies alone, because my peers and I do not share the same tastes whatsoever.
Have you seen a Chinese film called, “Shower”? No, it’s not a perverted movie! It’s about the relationship between son and father/brother to brother. About self-discovery. Just watch it.
Skang1: Ah, I’m just a happy guy; life is good. God’s good and I just try to live this life the way I think He intends. But I have been drinking Gatorade everyday… hmmmm. Shoot. That’s sweet you love basketball. Good stuff.
Cicerog: Right on. Right on. I’m always impressed by Kobe but I’m never too happy when ppl. say he’s better than MJ. It would be sweet (a dream) if Kobe and Jordan faced off in the post-season.
Nosarp: How’d you like 25th Hour? The book is actually pretty damn good. Still, The Pianist is somethin’ else. Best movie I’ve seen this year. I remember coming this close to renting Shower but opted for some action movie (group get-together) instead. Looked interesting. Yes, I know it’s not porn. Lot of good reviews for that one.
