Watch the Blindside
and read about Michael Jerome Oher in the The Blindside: Evolution of the Game
I'm a football fan, but this story - it's more than just a good football player being found in the ghetto... It's what humanity can be like.
Don't care what the review said - but I liked the movie very much.
FML
As if my life isn't f***ed up enough.
Here's tonight's addition to make sure that it is.
1L bottle of water somehow opens spills all over my bed only to have me wondering why I felt pins and needles all over my leg just as it soaked through all my blankets and my mattress. (Yes I am well aware that this previous sentence was a run on, error filled sentence - I don't effing care.)
So tonight, I am sleeping on the floor, with no blankets, no pillow and something I would consider a yoga mat and for yoga only as a mattress so my bed can dry.
Seriously - I thought there would be a threshold to these types of trickeries in one's life... but I am a full believer that I am this lifetime's biggest joke.
There are honestly moments when I wish this was it and tomorrow, I will wake up a butterfly.... or anything but me.

Reminiscing
Day by Day the air grows colder
Night after Night the shadows stretch further
Moment by Moment this heart grows weaker
Wondering why it ever wanted to feel again
The childhood grin outgrown by yesterdays
Hopes and dreams of tomorrow died with good byes
Believing in goodness of humanity
Still clenched by innocent naivety
Why has love become a nonchalance
Cast aside like it doesn't matter
When did the butterflies flutter away
So the hearts of this world won't feel again
Night after Night the shadows stretch further
Moment by Moment this heart grows weaker
Wondering why it ever wanted to feel again
The childhood grin outgrown by yesterdays
Hopes and dreams of tomorrow died with good byes
Believing in goodness of humanity
Still clenched by innocent naivety
Why has love become a nonchalance
Cast aside like it doesn't matter
When did the butterflies flutter away
So the hearts of this world won't feel again
Either Way...
I can deal with attention deficit.
I can deal with multi-tasking something of importance.
Can't however... deal with not even being able to be given the time of day for 2 minutes.
If at all important, it should be glaringly obvious.
30 Days
... 由 這 一 分 鐘 我 一 生 就 只 有 您 (From this minute on, I live my life for you)
... 明 日 縱 使 不 堪 阻 不 到 我 用 心 愛 您 (No matter how bad tomorrow is, it won't stop me from loving you)
... 讓 我 終 於 都 明 瞭 明 白 您 比 生 死 重 要 (finally realize that you are more important than life or death)
....讓 我 終 於 不 動 搖 這 改 變 因 您, 原 諒 我 卻 試 過 傷 害 您 (It is you who's made me want to change; forgive me for ever trying to hurt you)

Remember the Time?
Do you remember the last Christmas that Santa was real?
Or the tooth fairy would grant you a dollar for your baby teeth?
How about when the twinkle of the stars was no longer Neverland happy thoughts
And when Prince Charming didn't rescue Snow White because she wasn't asleep
It appears... every happily ever after must die; and die must every happy soul.

Need to Finish
Just before I lost internet access which was mid into the 4th quarter we were leading by 2.
How then in 6 minutes did we manage to let the Spurs open up such a big lead?
Overall the Raptors are a pretty strong team this year, but how about closing out games and not blowing leads??? We could have argued in the past that we just didn't have the strength nor talent, but having a 9-man roster change, I don't think that can be the excuse any more. This time around, BC has put together one of the best teams for Toronto - it's time for the team to step up.
A 32-10 night by CB4 should be obvious that we should have landed in the W column....

Scrappy, Lost 17 Pt Lead, But A Win
AMAZING behind the shoulder pass by Jack to Il Mago!!
A little worried about how they're playing through games, blowing double digit leads and letting a team that's missing their 2 key players to climb back to a 1-point lead.
Glad they closed this one out, but for a team who averages 87 points/game, we let 99 go.
Yes, we can score, but the resounding story is can we defend?
I'm seeing glimpses of awesome from Turk though as he & Bosh continue to learn each other's moves. He had some nice dishes.
Our bench players put on a great show - hope they continue to improve and become a defensive presence as they showed last night.
Recommendations:
Start Jarrett Jack, Jose is too comfortable as the starter and isn't doing all the things a starting PG should be doing. a) Creating Plays b) Defending c) Scoring
Give Antoine Wright the start instead of the Rookie - DeRozen needs to earn his place and so far, he's not doing that. He's not bad, he's just not great.

Bus Drivers.... #*@&^!!!
Yield to Bus Law
Just because there's a law for buses doesn't mean you should be abusing it!
Being at the "stop" at a red light and trying to cut off the car that's beside you isn't what the law entitles you to do. There are the words "yield and safely" included and neither of those apply if there is not enough space for you to get back into flowing traffic.
Mr. Bus Driver stop cutting me off because you drive a big hunk of metal.
This (along with other reasons) is why nobody wants to let you in!!!
I am categorizing you with the Stupid Drivers!

Stupid Drivers
Short but true story.
Off Hwy 7 going west, in left lane.
Turn signal on to get into middle lane.
Lady in middle lane comes to dead stop beside me and blares horn at me.
I have yet to move from my lane.
She finally drives pass and starts frantically waving her hands at me.
I get behind her she slams on the brakes.
I had to veer into the right lane to avoid her.

Jersey Boys
Frankie Valli (not with a Y with an "i"!), Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi.
Blue collar boys who hit it BIG.
Very interesting story of how they came to be, the struggles they went through and their final triumph to success - a story from each of the 4 boys' perspective.
If you want to check them out, go here

1-2 Not What I expected
It is a little disappointing that we've lost 2 games in a row in which Bosh has had over 30 points and has had a double-double in both outings.
35 Points, 16 rbs followed by a 25 point effort by Il Mago and the team shooting 54.1% shouldn't have led to a loss but alas the same resounding issue - where is the defense?
I hope this is a matter of cohesion of this team because after such an up-side down turn in the off season and obtaining some key players, we should be better than this. WAY BETTER.
