shit... the economy is bad

look at this picture i found on the internet taken deep in the dust bowls of somebody's living room.

yummers

We are fucking screwed. This is the future of our nation. Are we entering jonathan swift territory. We are so hungry because of the housing famine we have to grub on our young. Speaking of which he does look tasty.

 I hope barry smokes old mccain come november. He'll really put it to those rich fuckers and make them eat their babies. In fact, if he was around back when w was born we could have avoided this whole conflict of the economy and the war and the fact that that young lady with the cute bangs still hasn't gone down on me and whatever else we have blamed on him.

Kings Season Starts TO-FUCKING-NIGHT

Finally. The real NBA kicks off tonight as the kings get their debut against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and as usual I have some thoughts. Also as usual, I did absolutely no pre-writing, so its going to look like I just sprayed vomit on to my keyboard.

All in all I think this is a winnable game. The Timberwolves are one of the few teams in the NBA actually worse than the kings. All the reports out of the kings camp say that Kevin Martin is ready to explode. He has promised to attack the rim more, as evidenced by his slam kind of sort of not really on the freakishly injury-proned Greg Oden. Last year he averaged about 24 a game, with limited looks. This season when he is going to get as many touches as he damn well pleases. 

All that being said, this should be a win tonight, though I would not at all be surprised to see us lose. I see us being a 28 win team, which is a lot less than the 62 we won just a few years ago, but whatever. shit changes right?

I know this is belated, but here are my preseason picks.

Western Conference:

1. Los Angeles: While I don't think the lakers has the guts to win it this year, they have the roster to have the best regular season record.

2. Utah Jazz: I hate Deron Williams. I hate Carlos Boozer. The Jazz will be a power in the NBA for at least the next five years. I think I hate the NBA.

3. San Antonio: they aren't going anywhere.

4. Houston: I think they are one of the most loaded teams in the NBA. I am only putting them down this far because I think they will need some time to click.

5. Dallas: They should ride their new coach to a playoff spot, then another first round loss.

6. New Orleans: They will slump this year. Paul won't be as effective, West will definitely slump, I don't think Chandler is any good he just plays with Paul, and though I love him Peja is not a player to go to when things are going badly. I still think they are a good young team, I just don't think they will be as good as they were last year. I think they are good enough for championships, just not yet.

7. LA Clippers: Call it Pacific Division Bias, but I think they are good enough. And it has everything to do with this guy:

8. Portland: I just want to start by saying I called this Oden shit. Almost everyone i asked if they thought Oden would play over or under 250 games said over. I said under. I think I may be right. Even so, this is an improving team, and with the nuggets falling and my hatred for all things Shaq, they are my eight seed.

Western Conference Finals: Utah over Houston. 

Eastern Conference

1. Boston Celtics: fuck them.

2. Cleveland: Lebron Fucking James

3. Orlando: Team on the rise. Barring injuries to Hedo or Dwight, these boys be good.

4. Philadelphia: I am a duke fan. Thusly I like Elton Brand. Thusly I like the Sixers.

5. Detroit: It feels weird putting them this far down, which means I am almost certainly wrong. I just don't know who to put them in front of.

6. Toronto: I feel so bad for Bosh. Great player who was looked over because he was in the greatest draft of all time. Now he's looked over because he plays for Toronto. Just come to Sacramento already. We could be great together.

7. Miami: The return of Dwayne.

8. Chicago: I like captain Kirk, and I like Rose. Also this is the eight seed in the east. Fuck it.

Eastern Conference finals:

Cleveland over Philly

NBA Champions

Yet another season where I swear I will never watch an NBA game again. These picks don't account for who David Stern wants to win.

Shit

I use shit as a safety word. When I don't know exactly what word to use I just throw shit down there. For example: if somebody were to ask me what I think of Michael Foucault, I would say "shit." If they were then to bring up the fact that they had bought me a Foucault book for christmas like two years ago and that is ample time to look into it. They only bought it for me because they thought I would like it and the least I could is invest a little bit of time and read it. I would then say shit again.

I know, I am a bad writer.

Shit.

brownies

have you ever eaten a brownie? i don't mean like going into the dumpsters behind the cheesecake factory and grubbing the rotting remains of the free birthday deserts and sinking your teeth deep into that shit. i'm talking about a real brownie. The little kinds that come in plastic boxes. Have you?

Well, they taste like shit. Stick to the dumpsters

color scheme

the color scheme on this blog is hideous. absolutely horrendous. Is there a problem with that? No. probably not.

The Notwist "boneless"

Confession: this is the first notwist song i have ever heard, but it seems like as good a time as any to jump on the bandwagon. It makes me want to be a depressed skateboarder in some generic south american country.

I wish i could add some words, some sort of analysis as to why i like this song so much. Sort of break it down and explain the feelings this song invokes in me. I cannot.

apologies

I will probably posting with some regularity from now on so I just want to get this out of the way early. I am sorry. And I mean truly sorry.

If you are reading this you are truly unfortunate.

If you don't know me and were accidentally directed here from some ill fated google search, or even possible a cuil.com search if that is the way you roll. In which case I feel obligated to inform you that you will find nothing of substance here. In fact you will find the exact opposite here. You will find the aimless ramblings of somebody who has absolutely nothing to say. It will be mostly on trivial subjects. 

If you know me and you are reading this I assume you will pretend you don't know me the next time you see me. Don't worry. This is expected.
