Good and/or bad days seem meaningless without the ones you love.

*sigh* Working AND going to school full time is the worst! I missed out on 3 hours of paid development time (translation = sitting around and eating District paid food) to finish writing a f.cking take-home midterm! Why didn't I do my sh.t earlier? Warning: bad habits linger around post-college life.

ERICK'S 23RD BIRTHDAY


The luckiest birthday boy


Celebrating at CPK

As basketball preseason gets under way, I just HAVE to comment about the upcoming Laker season. Call it optimism, but I'm extremely excited about the homecoming of the Zen Master. The Laker offense looks amazing. Yes, I know there are kinks, but it's reassuring to see that Slava Medvedenko and Devean George have been revived from the dead. After a disappointing season for the both of them (seeing nearly no playing time whatsoever) it's nice to finally see the old-school Lakers playing at their potential. As much as I hated on the Triangle Offense, I'm finally starting to understand the perks of it. Plus, I'm comforted by the fact that it's executed by the man that started it all, Phil Jackson. Since he's been back, the Lakers have been playing much more aggressively. All in all, I'm excited about the season and can't wait to see what's in store. Now all we gotta do is work on transition defense.


The Lakers getting it done...


(He's good... and good-looking.)

New faces Smush Parker...


... and Von Wafer


And of course what Laker entry would be complete without mentioning my man, Kobe? Just remember Warrior fans: the Lakers are STILL the number one team in California. (Just a friendly reminder.)

I'm just speaking from experience
Nothing can compare to your first true love
So I hope this will remind you
When it's for real, it's forever
So don't forget about us

Everything makes so much sense all of a sudden! I wish people would just tell it like it is instead of trying to give a bunch of pretty euphemisms. It just wastes time.
