The Eleventh Little Indian Boy

The space shuttle Columbia exploded over the Texas sky today en route to Cape Canaveral for a routine landing. All seven astronauts aboard were lost. Man. All I can think of right now are the surviving families, NASA, and the leaders of our nation. Man. People in Iraq must really be whooping it up right now. I remember seeing Columbia in person back at the World's Fair in "84. Two years before the Challenger tragedy...now 17 years since...almost. My heart is very heavy right now. I need to pray. Don't know if I wanna play football today. Not the most enlightening post....just needed an outlet for my thoughts at the moment. Hope that the rest of the day will be brighter.......

Odd play in the fourth quarter: Chris Childs was
called for an offensive foul for kicking Brendan
Haywood in the groin while going in for a
fast-break layup. On the same play,
Washington's Bryon Russell drew a technical
foul for hitting Childs in the head.

Hahahahaaa......that reminds me of a really funny basketball card. 91-92 UpperDeck basketball series 1. Tim Hardaway all star card. It was a full frontal action shot of T-Bug going in for a layup. Problem was that he did his best Air Jordan logo impression in the process and accidentally kicked an oncoming Scottie Pippen right in the groin. The look of surprise ( amongst other feelings ) in Pippen's face is classic. Me thinks I'm gonna have to go look for that card one day and use it as a bookmark or something.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather this week. Helped watch a few little babies at church last Thursday and ended up catching a cold. The way that it happened though......totally made for TV. I was playing with a little toddler and when I wasn't paying too much attention she sneezed right in my face. The shock was so instantaneous that I didn't even flinch. Some of the other volunteers let it come to my attention that this girl has always carried the sniffles and is always a threat to pass on some germs. Haha...I was thinking...whatever...no little baby germs are gonna.....SMACK!!!!....the very next day my throat was scratchy and it has since evolved into a sniffle/sneeze/hack up imaginary cat hair ballathon. It's cool though. I was due for a cold sometime. The only messed up part was when we went out to E- Pimp's bday dinner on Friday. Shorty asked me if she could sip my soup ( which was a puree of fish and totally reminded me of chum ). I told her that I was sick but she kept insisting so I let her have some. Long story short....she got sick....but refuses to believe she has a cold....Allergies...yeah right....=P.

Kickin it in reverse: Oh my starry eyed surprise...blah blah blah sunrise....dance all night to this DJ I'm saying dance all night to this DJ....: SendyLee Soiree / so many sweets....Capitol needs to eat some of that so he can go back to the dentist / much love for a faithful and courageous sister....strength isn't always defined by size / won ton on the floor....cool like that....I dig / a really nice original poem / riding home to the sounds of High Five....priceless, Indoor Bball / Shooter McGavin Leong....muahahahaha!!!! / played well in spurts....make a few plays....catch a few breaths....drive and dish....jog and hiss....hahaha....I'll be back / I can't believe we lost to crazy HK lefthanded game's team by one....that was messed up!! / in gauging the skills....far from where the mind thinks the body actually is...=P, Super Bowl commercials / Yao?
