Who Wan Fi Artest?*

What a weekend!

I half-expected Jim Lampley, Steve Merchant & George Foreman to offer commentary on the fight. I think Ron Artest has a good furture as a welterweight.

My feelings on the matter:

  1. I don't think Ron Artest going into the stands would have bothered me as much if he has grabbed and pummeled the right guy. The second he grabbed the guy NEXT to the guy that threw the beer. He lost me.
  2. What the fuck was Stephen Jackson doing? He looked like he was just dying to fight.
  3. How did Jermaine O'Neal get less games than Jackson when he cold-clocked that guy on the court who had already been hit twice by Artest and was being held back by someone else...nice punch tho.
  4. I don't appreciate how David Stern is not commenting on the actions of the Detroit fans who were in the wrong. If these jokers aren't punish, what kind of message does that send? You can throw things at the monkeys but don't worry, they can't touch you. This ain't the zoo!

* I am taking total credit to making that up. If you see anyone but me with a shirt that says that, tell me so I can sue.

Where I am at right now...

"Why Georgia"
by John Mayer

I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom
4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind

Cause I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

I rent a room and I fill the spaces with
Wood in places to make it feel like home
But all I feel's alone
It might be a quarter life crisis
Or just the stirring in my soul

Either way I wonder sometimes
About the outcome
Of a still verdictless life

Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

So what, so I've got a smile on
But it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head
Don't believe me
When I say I've got it down

Everybody is just a stranger but
That's the danger in going my own way
I guess it's the price I have to pay
Still "everything happens for a reason"
Is no reason not to ask myself

If I am living it right
Am I living it right?
Am I living it right?
Why Georgia, why?

My Top 25 Movies (At This Point and Time)

Ok, maybe not ever...

I watched Before Sunrise yesterday and probably 30 minutes in, I knew it would be in my "Top 25 Movies Ever" and then I started thinking "Shit, what are my Top 25 movies?".

In all honesty, I could never make such a list. I own over 150 DVDs and to pick and chose would cause to think about how much money I've wasted on movies I only kinda like.

But it's Sunday, I'm bored.

So...in no particular order:

  1. Before Sunrise
  2. Say Anything**
  3. High Fidelity**
  4. Swingers
  5. Cool Hand Luke ****
  6. Quick Change*
  7. The Lion King
  8. Fight Club
  9. Chasing Amy
  10. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  11. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy*, ***
  12. The Fisher King
  13. Goodfellas
  14. The Godfather, Part II
  15. The Iron Giant
  16. The Professional
  17. Kill Bill***
  18. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail
  19. The Usual Suspects
  20. Better Off Dead**
  21. Pulp Fiction
  22. Seven
  23. Unforgiven
  24. Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
  25. When Harry Met Sally*

* I don't own this for some reason
** John Cusack appears on this list three times. I guess that would make him my favorite actor
***For all intents and purposes, I consider these as one film.
****Oldest movie on this list
.

I'm going to stop here because I will start fucking with this list if I spend anymore time looking at it.

(Note: I've already changed this three times. Damn edit function in Blogger.)

A Myriad of Thoughts

I go through periods where I am walking around somewhere and someone will say something and a little voice will scream in my head...

HOW DID WE LOSE THE ELECTION??? ARRRGH.

Then, I continue my day

I was lying in bed, just getting off the phone at midnight and for a second a contemplated just throwing some sweats on and heading over to Best Buy but I stopped myself.

In my mind, if I ever asked myself "Why am I single?", that I drove to Best Buy at midnight for a video game would surely be on the Top 5 list.
