1. Just saw Enchanted with the girl, and to my lucky surprise, the movie was actually entertaining. Other than the amazing Pirates franchise and a few cartoons, Disney movies to date haven't registered high in my "must see" list of films to see, so when my girl pointed out to me that she wanted to see Enchanted tonight, let's just say I wasn't jumping out of my seat to go with her. But as I mentioned a few sentences back, this film surprised me, it was fun, entertaining, creative and a great movie. Did I just write that? I think I've hit a new low, I've actually admitted (in writing mind you) that I like a girl movie, what will become of me now? Aw well, at least it was cheap.
2. For the past few weeks my thoughts have been racing on how I can find a way in to attending the Coachella music festival in late April. Anyways, not to bore you with another long story, as of today I've found a solution in the Pemberton Music fest in July. You see, Coachella is still in my sights, it's the week before my bday, the Verve are playing and it's in sunny California, but and I mean but, the trip there for the 4 days it will take me, could very well cost me 2 grand...Ouch!!! So I ask myself, is it worth it? Maybe, maybe not. But with this new festival suddenly dancing upon me at a later date, at a cheaper price and in a similar climate (beautiful Vancouver, well an hour away actually, but who's counting) my thoughts on Coachella have now started to drift away. Who'd have thought that being a die hard live music fan would hurt my pocket so much. Fucking student loans, I swear you'll be the end of me. Anyways, whichever festival I do end up attending, (my first by the way), should be awesome and quite memorable. Can't wait!!! Yeah!
3. Polygamy, Polygamy, Polygamy!!! Wow!!! Caught a bit of Oprah today and what a trip, there's this weird ass family on talking about how they have 22 children and this man is married to three wives and such. I mean I'd heard of Polygamy before, but seriously I never actually thought people did it or should I say lived like that. Okay maybe I'm sounding a little naive and prejudice here, but come on, I mean having one girl is like a full time job, so what the heck is three like, and 22 children!!! Good luck paying those college tuition's buddy. Ah Mormons and such, what a group of people.
4. Okay so my boy Kobe has been nothing short of miraculous lately; watching him close out the Jazz on Thursday night was awesome. With the Jazz trying to make a game of things late in the 4th, Kobe just took it upon himself to destroy any momentum they had building. He had two huge buckets, a key rebound, one massive dunk and an assist ever so reminiscent of Magic in his hey day that being a fan of him or not, you had to love watching him decimate a team so effortlessly. I swear, in this day and age people love to anoint great players so easily to superstar status that appreciating moments like this can truly be taken for granted. In my opinion there are no more than 5 "I can win you a championship" type players in the league (Kobe, LeBron, KG, Duncan and Shaq) and that's about it. The rest are good, but not the type that can win you it all. And yes I know that Kobe, LeBron and KG have yet to win themselves titles, but I can guarantee you that one of the them will in the next 2 years, that I can write with certainty. Oh and guess who's been in the last 9 Finals? Shaq and Duncan, both have been in at least one Finals for almost the past decade, pretty cool huh, it's all about the big men. So does that mean that Kobe is praying Bynum returns soon? You better believe it.
Here's my picks so far for the season's awards.
MVP = Kobe (2nd LeBron)
Coach = Phil Jackson (2nd Rick Adelman)
Rookie = Al Horford (2nd Kevin Durant)
MIP = Hedo Turkoglu (2nd Beno Udrith)
Executive = Mitch Kupchak (2nd Danny Ainge)
Sixth Man = Manu Ginobilli (2nd None)
Alright that's enough for now. later
