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.

The town in which your song is referring to is Los Angeles, Ca.
"something, something, even when the population's sleeping"
Just so you know my new favorite song is the song about time by The Bravery. I like them alot. Them and the Artic Monkeys are my new obsession.
You are completely correct about the Death Cab name dilemna. I saw them in concert two years ago and had to say I was going to see Death Cab, rather than DCFC (I can't even type it). What is truly strange about all of this is the fact that Death Cab sounds pretty fucking awesome. Has there ever been another band that had a sweet first half of their name and then an absolutely horrible second half? Do some reserach on this. I think the Artic Monkeys might be the antithesis of DCFC. When you first hear Artic you think lame, then you throw in Monkeys and all of a sudden they're badass. Artic Monkeys are fucking cool.
Alyson's best friend's boyfriend is in an indy rock band and I might as well pass on their name to you so that you can claim the find as your own. Shaimus is a pop/rock outfit with a soulful twist. I've seen them twice in concert on bf duty and have been mildly impressed. Apparently their single "All of This" was on guitar Hero as a secret song, so they have a little underground following. Google them sometime and check out there website, there is alot of info on there about them. You may even like a few of their songs. Again I am coming out and saying that I'm still on the fence. Just wanted to pass that along.
I saw Knocked Up last weekend and I definitely reccomend it if you havn't made the trip. Excellent movie. I love Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. Two guys I'd really want to hang out with sometime. I'm a little sad because I'm sure the black guy from 40 Year Old Virgin and Weeds was supposed to be in this flick too, but he must've taken a role in the Will Ferrell ice skating movie instead. It's too bad because that trio is comedy gold. All of them find a way to be loveable even when they're acting like jack asses. Seth Rogen is the titts.
One last piece on information for you regarding the NBA Finals. Go to Facebook. Go to my profile. Click on the wall to wall function under Derek's last wall post. Scroll down to about Nov. 30 and you will find my NBA preview which details how the Spurs will beat the Cavs in 6 games. Yeah Will Nov. 30th. Seriously I am going to be an NBA analyst one day. I won't forget you.
One more thing....how sweet is the wall to wall feature on Facebook. I honestly use it about three times a day. You'd be amazed at what you can learn about a freindship/relationship by reading their responses to each other. That's admittedly a little creepy, but I have hours a day oin front of a computer. What else am i supposed to do?
