The last thing I remember was complaining to the doctor and his assistant they needed to

Ok, so all that late night analysis proved even more worthless than it already was. The Rockets didn't even make a 1st round pick. Instead, we drafted Rudy Gay and shipped him off with Stromile Swift (included to make the deal work monetarily) to Memphis for Shane "The Sharpei" Battier. The move resulted in outrage and mutiny on ClutchFans forums, so serious that the site was rendered useless

Ahh the eve of the 2006 NBA draft. As a lifelong Rockets fan praying for a resurgence next year I can hardly contain my excitement. Chaotic and highly unpredictable as any draft ever, this one has everyone baffled --Experts and homers alike. Here's my little Rockets wishlist:1) Adam Morrison - He'd allow TMac to move over to the 2 and provide us with a crafty wing who can score from anywhere.

Upper back pain, neck stiffness, groin soreness: three of the bodily problems currently torturing me. I perform certain exercises to combat one and another pops up, just like a cruel game of whack-a-mole. What he hell is is going on? In the past when I've hit the gym consistenly and vary my training from weights to cardio to yoga I've had much success in avoiding these types of ailments. But

From my favorite message board: People who don't drink are not to be trusted. Alcohol brings out the basest, most primal version of ourselves. It's like truth serum for the personality. And if a person is too uncomfortable to reveal that part of themselves, if they don't trust themselves with their innermost being, why should you trust them?I couldn't agree more. However, I guess the exception

I know I complain about what sucks about SF all the time, the overpriced homes, the fanatical political correctness, the high number of fudge packers. Regretfully, my complaints are valid most of the time.

Tonight after work I've got plans to watch some UCLA vs Gonzaga, drink some drank, and chase some skirts. Once again... It's raining game in Northern California...

My baby mama fell asleep early after putting the baby to sleep. The servers I worked on were suprisingly healthy allowing me to knock off earlier than expected. Tonight, the stars are finally in perfect alignment.

Yes, I'm in a bit of a rut. I can't seem to organize the 200 or so things I have going on in my head. Nor do I have the time. It's utterly frustrating. The only time I'm free to work things out in my head is after we put my daughter to sleep until the time I fall asleep. And when you squeeze in sex, exercise, and a little partying in during this free time there is not much time to critically

Well, without getting to details let's just say I've encountered a minor setback in a game (or war) I've been playing for a long time. I surrendered prematurely in a battle that was even. Even though stipulations came with the surrender it was still a surrender in haste. And that's all that mattered.Expectedly what came next was textbook Art of War: an attempt to completely crush me for good.

For the first time in my life my perception of reality has been attacked. I had absolutely no defense for it. It was totally unexpected and totally below the belt. For a second, I almost broke down and cried like a pussy whipped virgin.It was a simple case of he said, she said.

In a nutshell, here's whats been going on:- K, the munch, and I have all contracted the common cold. Since the munch has been displaying symptoms we've been especially tolerant of bratty actions.

Within the past couple of years I've grown fairly competent in the art of argument. Whether the topic is sports, preferred method of intoxication, or the reason I'm coming home at 5am, I can defend myself like Cochran defended that cold blooded killer O.J.

I recently finished reading The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson. The poignant writing definitely provided me a soft cushion in which to land every morning as the ibuprofen kicked in.

Lately, I've had my nose stuck in this book. It's probably the most honest and heart-wrenching piece of writing I've read in awhile.

It's funny how drastically things have changed. During my years in high school and for some time in college I possessed no game at all with the ladies. No game was my game.

Discuss sports, bitches, and meaningful current events.I have a dinner planned with some peeps in town for the wedding so I stop at around four or five rounds. G and I

The Rockets lay down and lose by 40 to our I-45 counterparts. Both Yao and TMac finish up with strong games statistically but we get absolutely no help from anyone else. The loss goes down as one of the most disappointing losses in Houston professional sports history as we took an early and commanding 2-0 in Dallas to start off the series. After game two we were considered by many analysts as

Thursday night, my Sucka Free homies G, M, and E met up for a much needed mini-reunion to let loose and act like college-aged keg mongers. I needed it to clear my head. I had been caring for the lil' one by myself for the past week. Unfortunately I don't remember much since things got way out of hand.Here are scenes I do remember:- Rockets baby, Rockets winning by 18 or so. - Talking hella shit

I'm not going to say much for fear of jinxing Houston in Game 7 but this pic should tell the story.

This is it. Win or go home. Down 3-2, the Rox on the edge of life after shocking the world with a 2-0 start in the series. Can we put the officiating snafus on the backburner until a NBA Championship trophy is in our clutches? Let your nutz hang or it's back to the drawing board for another year. Can my Rockets come through and emerge victorious tonight?Yes.And here's how:1) Double the dosage

Rockets did not lose Game 5. They did not get outplayed. They lost because Stern and NBA refs wanted us to lose. They lost because Salvatore is on Cuban's payroll (and probably Vegas' payroll too). You fuckin' little turd; you'll get yours.It saddens me the most that if the zebras didn't target Yao and refereed an honest game we would've closed this series out yesterday. Now we have to sweat a

I think I've figured out how to get my daughter to sleep without much fuss. I'm sure this post will be augumented as I learn further techniques. First of all you have to prepare properly. Feed her well and immediately burp her afterwards.Turn off all the lights except the night light. Play soothing music at a very low volume. No classical, metal, or gangsta rap. It's important not to over

Amidst the typical pandemonium of my daily life, wifey, the defiant one, mj, and I squeezed in a short foray into the city. It was my wife's brilliant idea, as she was fiending for one of those tasty panini sandwiches at Arlequin. Destination: Hayes Valley... I'm always down for that.As most of locals know, SF is really made up of many distinct neighborhoods, each characterized by their unique

What's the difference between college grub and just dealing-with-a-newborn grub? Apparently not much, except you the new dad eats his grub with '99 Cote du Rhone.

Woke up at 1PM PST today and jumped on a conference call in which I was accused of failing to perform certain specified tasks. As a result these said specified tasks will be "put on the back burner" until we get another FTE. Fuck you punk ass project manager. If these said specified tasks were clearly stated and requested properly through the proper buearacratic channels they would've been

It would've been impossible to avoid reading about this week's hot sports topic: The dismal decline of Aaron Rodgers' draft position. Here was a guy who was projected as the Niners number one guy a couple weeks ago. Fittingly so too as the kid grew up a 49'ers fan in nearby Chico and even donned a Montana jersey underneath his Cal jersey. Then something happened.His value dropped like a whore's

Man I retired from blow, honestly. That chet don't do nuthin for me no more. I have nothing against it tho. If you can keep it in check that is... But that playa sun iz still who he his.

Today marks the first day wifey went to work (for over 8 hours) and left me at home with the defiant one. And guess what... yours truly emerged unscathed, victorious. I'll admit, however, that my MVP performance required hours of preparation. I set up her Baby Genius, checked the fuel supply, queued up the right songs, pumped some iron, and showered. I got off to a strong start as she slept

Today was one of those rare days I got to do a little of everything. Wifey had a doctor appointment in the morning so I was left to take care of the little hellraiser (from heaven). After changing and feeding her I queued up some New Order and Andre Nickatina and danced around with her for an hour or so. There's nothing better than to start your day off with some good ol' new wave and vintage

These days are the happiest of my young life. I've found energy and tunnel vision I've never knew existed. Problem is it just feels sooo different. I'm used to a routine. And I'm used to deviating from it whenever I fuckin feel like it as well.Unfortunately, I don't have either luxury. I've got hella shit to process but no time to devote to the tasks. And since I'm backed up like Oprah's fat
