It's been a long time, very long time since I heard your voice

Currently Playing: Newfound Glory - Sincerely Me

It has been awhile.

Three months and ten days to be absolutely precise.

I know my updates don't come often, but that has to be a new record. I've actually started 4 entries in that time, but never got past the first paragraph in any of them. Normally, I only update when I am subject to a sudden burst of (marginally) creative inspiration, and that's why I started 4 entries. But I was always interrupted before I finished, and by the time I got back to the entry, I had lost the will to write (or had just forgotten what I wanted to write about). Anyway, the inspiration for this entry comes from Robby's newly created blog and latest entry. Since I strive to best Robby at every little thing I do, I am now driven to finish an update, in spite of the fact that I am currently at work and have a lot of work to do (funny how that works out). And although I do not quite have Robby's eloquence with words, nor his sharp wit, I did beat him 6-2 in fantasy basketball, even though my team is currently dead last (a whopping 22.5 games behind first place). And so I ramble...

A lot of time has passed since my last update, but not much has happened. I graduated, started working full time, and that's pretty much it. And please, don't ask me about what my job entails. Unless you have a background in molecular biology, then I don't want to take the effort to explain it to you and you probably don't want to hear me explain it to you. Let's save us both the trouble.

Randomness: In basketball news, Kobe Bryant scored an unfathomable 81 points last night in a win over the Toronto Raptors. His stats last night had some important fantasy basketball implications for me, but what he did goes beyond that. As a fan of basketball, it is just amazing to me that anyone could score that much in a come-from-behind victory without any overtimes. And yet, I can already hear the criticisms now: Kobe is too selfish; Kobe shoots too much; Kobe doesn't make his teammates any better; whatever. Why criticize and say he should pass more when he has the ability to score like that? Is any other player in the NBA even capable of scoring 81 points? Even if they took 60 shots? (Kobe did it in 46) And why should he pass the ball more when him scoring 40 every night gives them the best chance to win? Kobe has tried being unselfish before. It didn't work. At least not with names like Chris Mihm and Smush Parker in the starting line up.
