The NBA draft is one of my favorite sporting events (growing up as a Nuggets fan, you can see why.)
Here is a link to my mock draft:
ESPN - 2007 NBA Draft Machine - Create Your Own NBA Draft

Motown's own Hottie
Maybe she's not as slutty as the 99 other Maxim hotties, and even though she colorado springs not Monument, Still vote for her. (If she goes to the next round, you HAVE to think Maxim will make her dress more slutty like the others)

The Flight of the what???
You should check out HBO's latest comedy series, The Flight of the Conchords. After it's over, you'll have one of the following reactions:
1-That was really strange. I have no desire to watch that ever again.
2-That was fuckin weird. I can't wait to see the next episode.
Me, I'm the latter. But this is definitely a show that will appeal to only a smallish audiende.
Another random "bark"-
I applaud ESPN for joining the two people on TV that I would most love to beat down.
That would be Stuart "boo-yeah" Scott and Schwab "I think I'm a badass because I know more about womens figure skating in the 1970s than you" Schwab.
That would be so rewarding to beat those fools down. And you know me, I'm not a fighter.

I'm the king of bongo bong
Tonight I'm going to see Manu Chao and his Radio Bemba Sound System at the greatest venue in the universe-Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Thus...
The SONG OF THE DAY is:
"Bongo Bong" from Manu Chao's Clandestino. Check him out if you haven't yet. He was born in Paris to spanish parents and sings in spanish, english, french, portuegese, and about 29 other languages. His steez is tough to describe, but is a mix of reggae, electronica, rock, disco, blah blah, just listen to it. Good beginner songs to get you hooked: "Bongo bong" and "Me gustas tu."
The LYRIC OF THE DAY is from the same song:
"I'm so happy there's nobody in my place instead of me"
That's a rare and beautiful thing to be able to say.
(Editor's Note: There will be no weekend blog due to a trip to the holy birthplace of the creator; Lincoln, NE for Gigi's (grandma) 75th bday. woooohooooo. Ill be back next week with my take on what should be one of the greatest episode's in TV history: You know, The American Gladiators where Flash and Turbo throw no-hitters in the same game. Psych, it's obviously the series finale of The Sopranos.)

Lebron vs. All
A couple of random jabbers before I get to "The Finals":
Song o' the day:
"The Bleeding Heart Show"
~The New Pornographers from Twin Cinema
It's one of those jams that you listen to without realizing its greatness until about the fifth time your hear, it your screaming the chorus and from then on after you play it on repeat until it gets old. I always try to avoid overplaying my new favorite song as to prolong its greatness and not get sick of it. I suggest you do the same. Seth, you're famous for doing this. I can vividly remember him blasting TQ's "Westside 'til I die" so many times in a row I grew a hatred towards the term "westside" that has stuck with me until today. Now, I commonly replace it with "left coast".
Lyric of the day (and my blog's first trivia question)
"It's a lovely summer's day
and I can almost see a skyline through a thickening shroud of egos.
You can't swim in a town this shallow
because you will most assuredly drown tomorrow."
-Death Cab's Why you'd want to live here.
Q: To what town is this song referring? (no googling)
(sidenote: You may or may not realize I referred to Ben Gibbard's band "death cab" and not "death cab for cutie". This is simply because I started to hate myself whenever I told people I loved "death cab for cutie." It just sounds to gay and emo. Simply using "Death cab" at least excluding the word "cutie." They are most definitely one of my favorite and most respected bands, but they can only go so far with this name.)
Random jabberness:
-Trust yourself to know when not to
-What was the best thing before sliced bread?
-The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
-How do vegatarians feel about animal crackers?
The Finals
As much as it kills me to say it. Spurs in 5.
I was going to go into great depth of why the Spurs are better and will win this series fairly easily. But, for one, I don't have time, and for two, if you watch a lot of NBA basketball you just know the Spurs are better. Better shooters, better defense, better coaching. Basketball is often way overanalyzed. The Spurs have more better plays and are more well coached than the Cavs. If the Cavs were in the west this year, to my estimation they would have been the 7th seed and ousted by the Suns in round one.
I ♥ Lebron more than anyone and would love to see him win this series, but now that I am a reputible journalist I have to be realistic and predictable in what im going to say and always go against the fans what would be more fun.
Years from now, this will just be Lebron getting his toes wet in the NBA finals pool. It won't be Lebron becoming the next MJ at the ripe age of 22.
The spurs will make him look human, at least sometimes.

School night!
Well, tonight is a school night for me. Summer classes start tomorrow. Most people cringe at the thought of taking class in the summer. For some reason, I don't. Well I was going to go into why I don't mind taking summer classes, but all the sudden am thinking it would be boring to write and also to read.
Usually, my reading mind is most attracted to small snippets of text that get to the point. More bang for buck, if you will. I like lists too.
Good things-
-showers after camping
-puppies-one of the best things in the world. Are you ever not in a moment of happiness watching/playing with a puppy?
-gift cards-they force you to buy something you want but don't usually need.
-scattergories-play it if you havent
-blueberry pie, the drink-blueberry stoli and sprite. maybe kind of a gay drink, but it really does taste like blueberry pie. And blueberries arent even in my top ten list of fruits. This thought will now take me into an inpromptu list of favorite fruits.
[Top Ten fruits-
1. Banana-(its versatility and portability give it the edge over the others)
2. Kiwi
3. Pineapple
4. Grapes-I don't eat enough of em.
5. Watermelon-How is it so juicy?
6. Honeydue (sp?) melon
7. Canteloupe-the fruit of colorado
8. Blackberries-yeah, theyre better than raspberries
9. magdelena-mini oranges, not tangerines, I used to eat in Espana Daily
10. Apple]
Back to more good things-
-new girls
-new lightbulbs/batteries
-coming home to your roommate preparing chicken kebobs
-coming home with seth to prepare food-the cooking worlds Nene--hes really good just not many people know it yet besides hardcore fans.
-shopping with mom
-dogfish 60 minute IPA
-nutella
-bbqing in the summer with nba playoffs on in the background
Now some bad things (I know I'm getting bold and creative with my categories)
-Leaving home
-old girls
-gift cards-they force you to buy something you want but don't usually need.
-watching helplessly as two bottles of dogfish IPA slide of the hood of my car, where Colin strategically placed them so he could take a piss.
-the news-I'm over it. it rarely says anything to make me happy.
Lyric of the moment (I can't say 'Lyric of the day' because I don't write daily)
-" I don't get you . .
I can't forget what you've forgotten"
~Shiny Toy Guns
Song of the Day
"Save Your Day"
Jose Gonzalez, Veneer- First of all, he's Swedish, so all you racists are allowed to like him. Another instant classic recommended to me by the Dirtiest himself. I can't get enough of it.
Well, I was going to write more but I'm supertired since I unexpectedly was still awake when the sun was coming up last "night."
You'll have to wait for more.
