Heart's performance in the playoffs was lexus.

That title will make some more sense after this post. The following I feel is sweet...

Heart*. Why did I place an asterisk by heart? From now on I will be replacing the word Kobe with heart and vice versa. Looking back on Heart Bryant’s performance (and celebration) in the playoffs last year inspires me to be a better person. I can think of no other player that displayed more kobe than he. Now he’s shed his old number and is the new Heart with “24.” Maybe this was because when Heart dropped an unprecedented* ocho uno to bring his team back from a 25-point deficit people claimed he shot too much. When he would drop a Nash like 17 assists in the playoffs in a losing effort people claimed he wasn’t shooting enough. I feel you Heart, I feel you. Shed the haters and continue to inspire kids like me.

(Keep in mind he hit a shot to put them down one, then tied up Nash for a jump ball, then hit the game winner... you tell me a better celebration)

Unprecedented*. This will also be the last time I use the word unprecedented. From now on I will use the word lexus in its place. The commercials keep getting more and more ridiculous and out of sheer respect at the uniqueness of what they’re doing, I’ve replaced the word in my vernacular. Adam has too.

30 Something. Adam and I were driving to the airport for my November break when we heard what we thought was a new Jay-Z song... twice. The radio station played the same song back to back. I don't think I've ever actually heard that happen before. I demanded Adam download the leaked song and send it to me immediately, which he did, and I thank him for that. This is my favorite line from the song:
"I'm afraid of the future, (why?) ya'll respect the one who got shot, I respect the shooter."
I don't really want to comment any further.

Top 10 video games off all time. When I return home for Thanksgiving I have my own little tradition of hooking up my Nintendo and Sega Genesis and delving into all of my games for those consoles. Beating Mario 1, Mario 3, DigDugII, MegaMan 2, Nintendo World Cup, Sonic and Contra (with the code of course, up down up down left right left right B A select start) are mandatory. Playing those games makes me happy. With this in mind I decided to see what games were considered the top 10 video games of all time - this website does a good job of showing alot of different polls. What would this blog be though if I didn't tell you what I considered were the 10 sweetest video games ever:
1) Super Mario 64
2) Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
3) Goldeneye 007
4) Final Fantasy VII
5) Super Mario 3
6) Halo
7) Mario Kart
8) Madden 94
9) Grand Theft Auto Vice City
10) Guitar Hero (I haven’t played it but I trust Jim. Seriously, I do.)

The way I wrote this list was to ask myself - if I had only one game to play for as long as I wanted, which game would it be.


As you may know I’m home right now for Thanksgiving Break. My roommate Jason however has mandated that I call it my November Break because of how many days I have off. I bring this up because there really isn’t much I think is lame right now. I’m pretty angry Maryland has spotted BC 14 points, but I won’t use the blog to vent. There also was a rumor that I would be ready to talk about the Jimmy with the purchase of my new car. I honestly did write about it intending to post the section, but when I proof read it I realized it was the most depressing thing I had ever written and that I indeed am not ready to talk about…

The Jimmy. The added pressure after my SkyMall post. My inability to take chances.
