My FOB Attempt

Why can't I look like a FOB? Andrew, who is pictured in the right, says it's because I was born and raised in America. He could be onto something.

P.S. There's a true FOB in the background :D

Suns vs Lakers

Last Sunday I talked about the Lakers losing to the Suns. Little did I know that prior to Game 4 (played today), the Lakers were leading the series 2-1. Well, Game 4 was ridiculous. I was falling in and out of sleep and thought for sure the Suns were going to tie the series up 2-2 because when I decided to zone out, there were only seconds left and the Lakers were down by 4 or so w/ not very many seconds left.

I was awakened by a phone call asking me, "What's the score?!!?" I suddenly opened my eyes and noticed that the Lakers and Suns were playing in OT!!! You can read about how the Lakers beat the Suns by 1 on some sports website, but man... if I were McNashsty, I would be so angry. HAHA... I can't believe it. Go Lakers. 3-1.

Corporate America (a bit misleading title)

This Friday I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Boy Scout Clay Shooting Event, a fundraiser for the Boy Scouts. That meant I got to be outside (it was beautiful) and miss work all day. There was free beer and free food. I personally passed on the beer, but if I were a drinking person, this would've been great... and because I could've brought the leftover cases of beer home. [On a side note: I hear the Budweiser Selects are really good].

Anyhow, being a part of corporate America has exposed me to a very new world. One of which is where boys get together and shoot clays (and hunt). While we were volunteering, there was a man named Leon who had a "teaching station." He taught me how to shoot a beebe "shot gun." At least it looked like a shot gun to me. I'm sure that's not what you call it. Anyhow, it was neat because I've never shot anything before (minus a paintball gun, but I wan't very good at it). I was able to shoot a "stand still" target and Leon let me move onto shooting various size cups hanging on a clothes line. The wind was blowing so I was able to work on my "tracking" skills as well. Unfortunately, Leon didn't feel I was ready to move onto the next level... shooting at beebes on a concrete. Perhaps the problem was, I couldn't really see the beebes shooting out of the gun like I was supposed to.

Anyhow, because Leon appreciated my help, he is sending me a fee DVD. Check it out! If you scroll down you can see a picture of Leon. What a sweet old man :D

I also got to meet Antwan Peek (from the Houston Texans). He donated a signed helmet. He's a big guy, but really nice. He's funny too. Leon taught me how to shoot as well, so I got to chit chat with him a bit, talk a little about the draft (although I'm not sure he was expecting the Texans to pick up Mario Williams, at least he didn't allude to it), and shoot some beebes with him.

This side of corporate America is nice.

Stay in School & Kobe Bryant

As I was watching the NBA playoffs, I saw the Black Eyed Peas do a commercial telling kids to "Stay in School." Their exact message was, "You gotta stick to it. It's hard, but stick to it. Stay in School." My question is, how many of them stayed in school. At least have a GED? Perhaps they all did stay in school... I don't know, but I really wonder if they did stay in school.

And, I was watching Game 1 of the Suns vs Lakers game. I'm not a big fan of Kobe Bryant, but I really wanted them to win. Maybe it's b/c I can't stand McNashsty... but for some reason, I wanted the Lakers to win. Makes me wish we had cable so I could catch all the games, I'm thinking about going to 24 hour fitness so I can watch :D

What's the purpose of life? Ever wonder? Lots of people I know have very admirable goals for themselves, but really... somebody tell me, what's the purpose.
