Basketball   

On Monday, May 19th, 2003 at 11 AM EST, history was made folks. A game of basketball was being played and “he who never plays due to horrible skills” actually showed up and played. Yes, that is right. I dragged my ass out of bed at 10 this morning to go play some basketball with my boys. Nhan (pronounced Yen) IMed me last night and asked me if I wanted to play. All it took was one look at my body to realize that I could use the exercise and I agreed. Now folks, I don’t think you understand how monumental this was. I NEVER play basketball….and for good reason. I suck so much ass, it just isn’t funny. I can’t shoot. I can’t dribble. I can’t pass. I can’t jump. And God knows, I can’t play defense. It got to the point where my friends stopped telling my about the games they were about to play and I didn’t ask about them =)

Lee, Ronak, Nhan, and I all showed up and played a little 2-on-2. Nhan got his friend Travis to come, so we had a sub for the games and we played for abotu 2 hours. It was pretty damn fun and we are gonna try and plan a game for Wednesday tomorrow, therefore hopefully giving people enough time to clear their morning schedule and set their alarm clocks to wake up before the crack of noon.

After the game, Lee, Ronak, and I hit up the Salvation Army to see if they had any cool stuff for sell. And I saw one fo the most disgusting things I have ever seen. Used underwear with skid marks. This kind of comedy can’t even be made up. I have never laughed so hard at the thought of somebody actually buying those. Hell, you can get a pair of NEW underwear at the dollar store for a buck! But that wasn’t even the best find of the day. Lee called me over and was dieing with laughter as he showed me a picture frame he had found. Only, he was laughing at the picture inside of it. Sitting there, was a lovely late 1970’s picture of somebody grandmother. Lee was almost tempted to buy the picture just so people could go “Hey Lee, is that your grandmother?” “Na, it’s just somebody else’s” “Well whose is it?” “Heck it I know!”

After that, we went and grabbed some Thai food, which was damn delicious, and then I came home. Right as I walked in the house, I got a phone call from USC student government asking if I’d sit on a few committee chairs. I said what the hell, since it sounded halfway fun and I have nothing better to do. So we’ll see how that goes. Then I took a nap until about 9 and worked on my site for a while. I’m not sure what I’m going to be doing tomorrow, but I’m sure I’ll post about it =)
