bombs, the kids was droping bombs. that 3 he hit was from 8 behind the arc. sick. UVM MUTHER FUCKERZ! white kids can play too. fuck yeah! syracus came in unprepared and played sloppy baseketball, they did everything they had to do to lose. mcnamarra missed a lot. UVM just kept to the game plan and kept the clock running. fucking amazing game.

ugh, otis.......

as for everyone's work related problems, its the one year shakes. i got em and got fired, kolpak got em, took a new job. Brian, sounds like you're getting them too. its the "is this what i want to do with the rest of my life?" feeling. you start to see how much of your life work is taking up. its not just the 9-5 part, its the fact you have to wake up say 1-1/2 early, drive 30 minutes each way, come home, spend an hour winding down, do something then get some sleep to start it all over again the next day. the routine. before you know it, it ends up consuming 5 days of your week. and then it hits you that your weekends aren't really free either, they're spent catching up on things you missed during the week. soon, work is all consuming.

The way i look at it now, i had a job. What i got out of that job was a little money that i managed to save, a new laptop, some experience, a line on my resume, and a few nice vacations. i guess thats good for a years work. we're not 50 yet, none of us are stuck in what we're doing.

I like the idea of everyone writing mission statements in the side collum. I think it would help us all focus on what we want out of life and how what we're doing is going to achieve that goal. Focus was the end idea of one of my rants a little while back. I think we all need to focus a little and move foward. for me, that starts with a new job. maybe not a good job but something so that i'm not a bum any more. i'd like to get a job where i can save a bunch of my earnings by living cheeply and hording money like a squirle so that sometime soon i can go into business for myself. i'm not sure how or where or in what but i really don't like the idea of working for someone else all my life. i think part of that is i don't like taking orders too much. or maybe i'm just not good at it. either way, i argue with bosses. and thats not good, unless i'm the boss.

i watched a LOT of the baseball hearings the other day. i was disgusted at how quickly it turned into a which hunt and how most members of congress didn't want anything else but a yes answer from all the players. The congressmen/women there (mostly republicans) brought out a bunch of crying parents who couldn't control thier kids and expected the players to appoligize for societies problems. one of the parts i found most disturbing was when the baseball exec's were brought out. they run a private business and happen to do drug testing to keep a competitive balance, congress made it seem like they were supposed to be policing america and putting an end to the worlds drug trade. i can't believe no one stood up and told them to fuck off, its not their job to stop the flow of illegle drugs from mexico or even make a case about how its the drug companies who are making these drugs to begin with. the whole thing was a disaster and made everyone involved look like idiots. i didn't like the way the republicans sucked shilllings dick because he too is a republican (they never asked him if he did steroids but he dodged the questions like a pro, one republican senitor even told him he should be running for office he was so good while he let him dodge an answer). selig is a retard and shouldn't be the commish anyway. donald fehr is a lawyer who's just looking out for his clients best interests. Congress had a ton of bad information and was wrong on very many points. they had month old documents which were no longer correct but harped on them like they were gospel.

i'm very sad to see whats happening to big mac after all this. for some reason everyone is trying to hang him for pleading the fith (which is basically what he did). Shame on ESPN for how they covered all of this, and many of hte papers who are trying to smear mcguire. i would have don't the same thing he did. i'm surprised the other players involved left him out to dry like that by being the only one to not give a definative answer. that one black congressman who wouldn't let the subject drop should have been taken out back and beaten with a hammer.

the one guy i give credit to is rafeal palmero, he genuinly seemed pissed that he was called there because of some baseless claim made it cansecos book.

chump, several items:

1) tremendous call on the uvm thing. they are very good, and not many know it. i would've picked them to win if they were playing almost anyone but syracuse. i guess that was my bad.

2) re: mcguire, see my post further down. while i see your point w/ the 5th amendment thing, i also think i made a pretty decent argument. if he didnt use steroids why not just say so? especially when the other guys (palmeiro in particular) were adamant about that. doesn't seem like some overarching policy reason would prevent this denial.

3) i love the idea of individual mission statements. i'm grappling w/ issues about what i want to do w/ my life these days, so i think it's very relevant for all of us.
