Dec. 6th, 2007 @ 10:27 pm I don't usually do this but I need you guys to tell me this'll be okay.
I've never been this physically exhausted in my whole life. My spirit is alive and well, but my body is slowly but surely breaking down and giving up on me. I've lost 27 lbs, and am getting close to becoming underweight soon. The only thing that is still keeping me alive is the faith that God will see me through all of this

Erap walks free.
GMA set him free.

Those two just pissed on whatever small, single strand of good that remained in our Philippine government.

Something has to be done about this.

To the best technical wrestler since Bret Hart...

To the one who was responsible for arguably the greatest Wrestlemania moment in history

For the Crippler Crossface, the three german suplexes and diving headbutt

For the the most underrated and under-used superstar of our generation

R.I.P. CHRIS BENOIT. 1967-2007

No matter what happens, you'll always be one of the great ones.

I don't know what to say, how to feel, how to react.

Jun. 13th, 2007 @ 08:06 pm The NBA Finals. It's FAAAAAAAN-TASTIC!!
I haven't blogged since March of this year. I said that I'd only blog when i felt like something really significant was worthy of my reaction (whatta thick fez). Well, this is one thing that's really been on my mind for the past few weeks.

We are watching the worst NBA Finals series of all time. ALL TIME.

ALL. TIME. That just boggles the mind. The past few years, the NBA has put a premium on offense, and of making the league more exciting and accessible to the regular viewer. They have a host of stars to carry the league future. They have the "next" face of the league in Lebron James representing the Eastcoast on the grandest stage of them all, going up against possibly the greatest Power Forward of all time in Tim Ducan. And Eva Longoria sitting ringside.

So why is it that I want to just die and go to basketball nirvana everytime I see another game in this Finals series?


Gangsta as Gangsta can be

First, let's start with the Spurs. I love the Spurs. I really do. Tim Ducan is one of the icons of our generation, and one of the most successful players of all time. I cheered for them when they won each of the championships they garnered, because hell they earned it. Sure they're a bit boring to watch, but they make the perfect foil for a highflying team, because it becomes a battle of styles, and which team can impose their will on the others. I love this team

The problem is that there seems to be a black cloud (figuratively) on this batch of Spurs. Because of Baron Davis going insane and the Dallas doing the biggest choke job in NBA Playoff history, and Robert Horry's shoryuken elbow to a Steve Nash, the Spurs are in the Finals. In fact, people I believe will say that even though the Spurs are sure to win it all this year, that this should have been Phoenix's time at the top, or Dallas was just overmatched by a crazy gang that had nothing to lose.

But that's something minor. In fact i don't even believe in all that. I love the Spurs, even though they are getting a bit old, and unbearable.

It's their opponents.

The SUPPOSED best team of the East this year.

Those *(&*(&^*&^*&&**(&*& Cleveland Cavaliers

My goodness. Where do I begin.


All Alone 23

Ahhh yes. Worst team to ever make the NBA Finals. It's not even close. Look at the five of Cleveland in the end game: Lebron James, Boobie Gibson, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Sideshow Andy Verejao, with Eric Snow and Damon Jones interchangable

That is just sick. That makes me SICK. In fact, excuse me

........

Back. I just threw up the burger I had for dinner, because i remembered the last play they ran. The one were Lebron drove in like a kamikazee, with five Spurs anticipating it happening. He chokes, and passes it to Verejao, who is about 10 miles from his comfort zone on the floor. Instead of waiting to pass it back to Bron, he decides to go one on one with one of the greatest defensive presences in the game in Duncan. He spins ones, throws up a fadeaway layup that barely grazes the ring.

Game. The series.

Add in the brilliance of Gooden, who committed 4 freakin fouls in a single quarter (two over the back fouls, if i remember correctly), the chokejob of rookie Gibson and Invisible Woman (Larry Hughes), and this team has been exposed for what it really is: a squad composed of mismatched parts, but should have never made it this far.

I shudder when I think that my Bulls could have been in this situation. If they had just won one more regular season game, they wouldve faced the Wizards, Nets then Pistons in the EAST finals.

To the Spurs. Please, get this over with. Just bring that Black of Silver hammer of doom down on the Cavs. Let's get into the NBA Draft, and see if the Bulls can get Marion or Zach Randolph. Let's start the next season so that we can see if the Spurs have it in them to finally repeat as champions, and become a true dynasty.

God. I hate this season.
