So most people have good times and bad times in their lives.. also, we are all gifted in some ways through our births, stations, or otherwise in life...
Personally.. I know that I have been gifted and blessed in my life.. I have a supportive family (for the most part), and no worries that I can do anything I put my mind to.. I've gotten to be out on my own since after I graduated HS last summer and made my way from Syracuse to Portland to Spain to Crete to Poland to San Diego to Tempe and since then.. finding my world is what my life is about now.. and I couldn't be happier for that...
But nobody's life is all peaches and sunshine.. throughout my life I find myself in bad circumstances.. sometimes I've only ended up with just a small physical wound and slightly more hardened to the harshness that people bring upon one another.. othertimes.. I came out a lot worse... I can't say I always knew that I would be okay.. but I always had that supportive family to remind me of how blessed I really was.. and because of that.. I can use the harshness and pain I had to endure to find myself and to make the world I find around me better also...
Soo... do people find they are more defined by the ways that they have been gifted or by the hardships that they have had to overcome? Or do you want to share some crazy deep things about yourself? Or do you just want to blather on endlessly about your fantasy sports teams?
PS Like Morti, I'll tell my whole story for some “feel sorry for you” tail... pm me...

always have to go with Rudy....
But LaMarcus is what dreams are made of…

LaMarcus is a lot better looking than Rudy F.
You looking for a good time?

My flav
Rudy
Nic
Aldridge
"Fernandez, to my eyes, is the Blazer who walks that walk most comfortably. A lot of Portland's fans (egged on, dare I say, by their local broadcasters) lament things like how Ron Artest or Yao Ming get to hit Brandon Roy's arms.
But I suspect Fernandez sees all that and thinks: We get to hit arms! Cool!"

the Blazer dancers aren’t that cute either, they should probably make the outfits skimpier and the dances more sexually suggestive.

LaMarcus is obviously the number one choice.

Sad Songs by Elton John
Guess there are times when we all need to share a little pain
And ironing out the rough spots
Is the hardest part when memories remain
And it’s times like these when we all need to hear the radio
`Cause from the lips of some old singer
We can share the troubles we already know
Turn them on, turn them on
Turn on those sad songs
When all hope is gone
Why don’t you tune in and turn them on
They reach into your room
Just feel their gentle touch
When all hope is gone
Sad songs say so much
If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it’s easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say
Sad songs, they say so much

While I’m mocking you, I’ll remind you that most teams don’t got a good center who they need Hayes to guard, sacrificing any hope for offense at that position.
And then you respond, they don’t really have any scorers at the center position, so they lose nothing.

I'll share why I'm a pervert
When I was about three years old in Vancouver, Washington, my babysitter, Linda Schmidt, would lock my half sister out of my room, get naked and have me sit on her belly and rub lotion or baby powder on her breasts. She told me not to tell anyone and I didn’t complain because I liked it. She dumped me when I went into grade school, but she was still my babysitter.
In grade school, she would kick my little brother out of our room and then have sex with her boyfriend while I “slept” on the bed next to them. After the first time, I rearranged the room so I could get a better view from the illumination of the streetlight outside.
I always thought it was cool until I talked to a counselor lady in my 20’s who said being molested is a bad thing. It put sex on my brain about 10-12 years earlier than most kids (from my generation).

It’s pretty much finished. Linda got knocked up, probably in my brother’s bed, had a c-section and didn’t babysit us anymore.
Her brother babysat us once and beat us all with a belt. He even hit my cousin in the face with a belt buckle. We told our parents about that one, so my dad took us to the babysitter’s house and told his dad. The dad dragged him out into the yard and kicked the crap out of his son in front of us.

I had read that they will die if they take them off as those rings are structural and any neck muscles they had are completely atrophied and they would not be able to keep their heads up.
Add to that that you know have a 8lb+ mass attached to a foot long rod and you have a nontrivial torque to counteract (somewhere in the neighborhood of 8ft-lbs.) that has nothing to counteract it.

That might be an odd picture, and the travel costs would be higher than the ticket, but why not
I original was also thinking about less, but my plan all along was to buy one row of tickets. For me it just means I can’t buy both NBA Live and 2k or have to sell some of my useless stuff, for the kids it makes a lot of difference to have that group experience. And Dave is still anxious if he can “sell” all, every donated ticket counts. The stories from last year still make me teary eyed.

Or maybe not.
Hey, it’s fun to get excited about the blazers. I know I enjoy it.
But if you’re new, look around, explore the site, get to know some of the posters. Find the search window, where sometimes you can actually find an answer in 15 seconds without putting up a post.
But most of all, try to take notice of some of the good posters. Without too much effort you’ll soon learn that some of these guys put several hours into making a good post, and some more than that.
Does every post need to have hours of sweat and blood poured into it, of course not. But most of the time, 5 minutes of effort is better spent as a comment in some else’s post.
Notice this also, if the good posters here have a ratio of 100:1 (that’s a 100 comments to every one post), and you have a ratio of 1:1, or 10:1, back away from the keyboard. Try having some fun commenting on some of the other threads. There’s a pretty good chance you’re going to like it.

He should have combined that all in one post, but I have no problem with people either liking or loathing the Birdman. On Moneyball where people can swear in game day threads if the situation calls for it they said some nasty stuff about him during the series that was over the line. He has his hair and attitude pretty straight off the court these days, so I suppose most of what he does is just “war paint”. He adds some color to the league.

Sportswriter Jason Whitlock wrote a provactive article about how monagamy is a fruitless, antiquated ...
lifestyle for high-powered individuals in not only the world of sports, but also high-powered gigs in general.
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/10263372/As-Phillips-falls-from-grace,-we-need-to-change-rules
I agree with Whitlock, too, but I’ve always claimed marriage is a sham — for both genders, as well as people of any socio-ecnomic background — and monogamy on the whole is biologically inconsistent with our nature as human beings. Two parents raising a family and caring for their children lovingly is one thing, while each individual having sexual relations outside of that familial environment is another thing altogether. They can go hand in hand with each other smoothly. Yet, it’s an intellectual challenge for most hidebound diehards from the old guard to comprehend what to them is an amoral practice, even though spurning the highly repressive monogamy for a fancy-free lifestyle is a more natural existence.
Unfortunately, though, Western civilization has a cultural view marriage that’s sanctimonious to its rotten core. Rather than come to the rational realization that monogamy is impractical for most individuals — which goes for both men and women — many self-righteous, disgustingly judgmental people viciously and unjustly attack people for cheating on their spouse when, well, it’s human nature to enjoy the variety that life offers us.
In the future, here’s to hoping that we as individuals will be liberated enough sexually to push monogamy out of soceities throughout the world. I doubt it ever happen on a large scale, though.

I hear you...
Well, to be more precise, I’ve heard this argument a million times… and I wasn’t even alive for most of the 1970s.
-I think you may be under-appreciated one’s biological interest in monogamy: Why waste resources raising a child that isn’t yours? Free-love outside of marriage and raising children only works “smoothly” with modern contraception.
-Practically speaking open relations tend to be a little more complicated than idealistic, unconventional young-whipper snappers expect.
-I’m do not believe in judging sexually “promiscuity” (for lack of better word), but do you see the irony here: “many self-righteous, disgustingly judgmental people….”

Would this be based on your
long time experience with monogamous relationships?
I guess I’ve just lived a highly impractical life, as have most of my friends. I’ve been repressed without knowing it. And apparently it would be highly unjust of me to express any disapproval of someone who cheats on their spouse.
On the other hand, someone who cheats on their spouse could also be viewed as highly selfish and focused on themselves pretty much to the exclusion of others. There is THAT way oif looking at it.

I was listening to Marketplace earlier this week
and Chuck Klosterman was being interviewed. He made an interesting point about how in what seems like a paradox that having relationships actually gives you more freedom to express who you are:
Ryssdal: Now that you have this relationship with a publishing company, and you’re a proven guy, and you’re a performer, and your books sell in varying degrees, does that give you more freedom to write more of what you want?
KLOSTERMAN: Absolutely. It really does. That is one of the big things about the world that I realize now that I would have disagreed with when I was younger. I used to think that to have freedom you can’t have any relationship with anything, with anybody else. And that’s not really true, because the thing that you really need to be able to write what you want is sort of the support of somebody who is going to say, “Well, as long as this is commercially feasible for us, we will allow you to be the person that you want to be or whatever.” I mean, you look at a band like U2. U2 has more freedom than any indie rock artist there is. I mean U2 can literally make any record they want. They could make a record of droning, they could have a record that has droning but also with like Eddy Van Halen guest-playing guitar. They could actually create whatever world that they desire.

You sound like you need to get laid
I’m pro-marriage. But my definition of marriage is different than the standard “contract” based on US legal system. I don’t need to be legally married to have a commitment where I can basically pour my heart and soul into building/having a loving relationship, and at the end of the day, makes me and my significant other extremely happy.
I agree that if you can’t handle having a fully monogamous relationship with a partner (not just sex but emotions, trust, commitment, etc) then you shouldn’t get married or get into a relationship that requires that type of commitment. I do disagree that it’s impractical for everyone though. I use to be a man-whore, but now that I’m married and fully committed (including sex) to my wife, I find it a lot more satisfying on all levels. Do I flirt and does she flirt with other people? Of course, we openly socialize but the outcome of having sex just to have sex with someone else is something we don’t care for. Well, and my wife is super hot so really, I would have to velcro Hale Berry for it to even entice me.
Just because you are married, doesn’t mean you and your wife can’t have open relationships. But i don’t think most men are emotionally stable enough to be in that type of sexual relationship, regardless if you are married. I think women have a higher chance of being capable then men. The movie “Closer” with Clive Owens and Julia Roberts tread in this psychological issue of sex and relationships. It was really interesting.
I think individuals are liberated enough to explores different dimensions of sexually relationships…it doesn’t need to be a social agenda to push monogamy to a large scale. As generations become more open minded, different paths will be taken, wishing one would be large scale over another is the same issue that faces the institution of marriage that has been established in history…If a group of people believe that marriage is sanctimonious, you should let them and respect that, as they should let you be promiscuous in your lifestyle.
I agree that people should not be judgmental or viciously attack anyone for being promiscuous but implying cheating is ok seems odd. Cheating is just not sex, but the break of probably different levels of trust, commitment etc…Cheating usually is typically surrounded by lies and dishonesty. And I’m not cool with that if it happens to me, regardless if it’s sex or if you told me you didn’t show up for a meeting because you got into an accident but you didn’t. Most people are not hurt by the sex but the lies that is the outcome of cheating.
Now, if you are trying to get legal support for the women you date to sign a contract that lets you be promiscuous, then more power to you. I can appreciate your creative ways to get your wood hammered. But then again, no string attached sex is prevalent everywhere, if you need civilization to approve of this, then go for it but it’s a battle not worth taking on for me.
I’m still a hopeless romantic at heart but doesn’t mean everyone’s take on the definition of marriage is the same.

Then again, that’s why I don’t want to have any kids. They’re too much responsibility emotionally and financially, as well as time-consuming in so many ways.

the thing that pissed me off about Whitlock's article
was that frequency-of-dalliances were scalable with income, ie, it’s more acceptible to go out and do the nasty with someone you’re not married to if you are a rich person.
I don’t like that aspect of his philosophy. Crucifying Steve Phillips or anyone like him for what he did seems totally unproductive too – but the idea that rich people should be allowed to do it more is ludicrous. – Elgin

Early thoughts, questions on the NBA season
There haven’t been too many revealing games—a few intriguing match-ups here and there, but most of the first games went more or less as expected.
-What is up with Cleveland? Losing to Boston is one thing, but losing to the Raptors? Allowing Andrea Bargnani to go nuts? Anyone watch that game?
-I hope that the OKC is getting all fired up about their big win over the Kings…. nothing like rising expectations unmet to cause suffering.
-Rockets win on the road on the second night of a back-to-back at Golden State. If the Rockets were going to only win 35 games, I think that’s a game that they’d drop. The Warriors are usually pretty decent at home.
-Orlando and Boston look very good, obviously.
-For some reason, I feel pity for the Charlotte Bobcats…. and their fan(s). It’s going to be a long season. They really need to look into finishing with a worse record. Those draft picks in the high teens are just to unlikely to provide you with the kind of superstar they lack. Wait, who am I kidding, that organization is a mess.
I certainly believe in not jumping to conclusions based on the first games… just interested in early thoughts.

i think it's too early to tell on a lot of stuff.
aside from the really crappy teams, that is (ie Charlotte). Cleveland will be fine, just take some time to adjust. LeBron already looks terrific.
I don’t think it’s too surprising the Rockets beat the Warriors. The Warriors aren’t that great and size wise they won’t cause Houston problems, especially because Houston’s big guys are really good defenders.
I’m with you on OKC.

I think the Cavs will be fine too...
I just find it interesting, from a basketball perspective, to figure out why some combinations of players just do not work well… I thought adding Parker and Moon were good moves for the Cavs. So, do they miss West a lot? Do they just need a little time to gel? Is Shaq becoming a huge defensive liability, or is he just unlearning bad habits obtained while playing for the Suns?
by PoliSam on Oct 29, 2009 8:14 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
When it comes to the Cavs, my opinion
is that any wing sort of player is going to be fairly incidental to their success, unless they can add a “Pippen” type, which I know is what everyone says, but that’s cause it’s true. Other than that, guys like Mo Williams, that can spread the floor, is what they’ll want. Because the perimeter is all about LeBron.
Shaq was a much bigger addition, and I do think it will take time to integrate him to maximize that lineup (ie make Shaq a viable enough offensive inside threat to command a double). It can, and probably will, happen though. LeBron is too good and Shaq seems to, perhaps, have evolved out of his need to dominate the ball and become more willing to play off a great player since his LA days. I think your point about unlearning bad habits has merit.

true,
but isn’t MJ the one making roster decisions? or do I have that wrong? From what I’ve heard, MJ just seems very uninvolved for having such an important role. And I can’t help but think it might have some sort of psychological affect on that roster to have his shadow over them (when he’s around that is).

of over involved owners. they should have some input because it is their money, but they need to let the GM’s make the decisions. In the case of the Bobcats, MJ has too much power and not enough prowess for his position. I think that’s quite evident.

I’m a skeptic of this JD topic for ,primarily, this reason: We often only see what we want to, especially when it comes to looking at ourselves. I think it’s important to reflect upon the exterior influences in our lives (graces and pitfalls), but only after we have come to terms with ourselves. I think the more pressing question to be asked, “is what choices have I made and what are those consequences?”; followed by “Having made those choices, can I live with myself now, and what choices will I make in the future?”. I also agree quite a bit with Jonestr about habituation and hard work.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
by jonestr on Oct 29, 2009 10:10 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
certainly:
Another way in which the two arguments differ is on their actual conceptualization of what the human function is. For Plato, the human function is defined as deliberation, ruling, living and taking care of things. This differs greatly from Aristotle idea of the human function which is, to perform activities that express reason. Not only are these two definitions very different, but they illustrate the chasm between the ways that each philosopher is thinking of the concept of a human function. Plato thinks of it in terms of the person’s place in society. His ideas of ruling, deliberating…etc pertain to the community in which one lives, and one’s relation to it. Aristotle approaches the problem from a much more individualistic point of view. Expressing reason in one’s action does not have anything to do with a relationship with other people or a community, but relates only to the individual.
The latter is a minor point, in my opinion. From the first you can see a core difference between living the world among others and taking care of numero uno, first and foremost. On a really simple level, Aristotle, for me is cold, rational, and reserved. Socrates has more feeling, expression, and sympathy.

volunteer.
after school programs. children’s hospital. something like that. I won’t pretend I’ve done these things, cause I haven’t. but a lot of helping people out is just showing up and being sincere.
by DrivetheLane on Oct 29, 2009 11:35 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
yes I am doing some stuff of this vein (vain?)
i’ve also already been hit with the reality that too many people who need help just cannot be helped.. at least not by me in a volunteer capacity at that time.. and that’s hard..
by galacticlove on Oct 29, 2009 11:46 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
just cannot be helped
usually it’s that they don’t want to be helped. you can only help people that want to be helped, it’s a two way street. and you’ll just kill yourself on a brick wall if you keep trying to help those that don’t want it. for those, just be their friend and forget about trying to actively help.

that is one sad part of it
the worst stuff is from the under 18ers who are being seriously traumatized but “choose” to not turn their parent/stepparent in for the repercussion.. I volunteer for a crisis line sometimes.. breaks my heart..
by galacticlove on Oct 29, 2009 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, that would be really tough.
which is part of the reason i haven’t screwed up the courage to volunteer for some of that stuff. i’m not sure i could take it.

probably a safe bet.
take a course or two in your top two choices for discipline and then decide. might not even take that much. i took one english class beginning of sophomore year cause i couldn’t get the history class i wanted and immediately switched from history to english and never looked back.

poorly.
was planning on teaching high school, decided against it and wanted to go for doctorate in order to be a uni professor. hated grad school (i think it was a bad program for me) so quit. now i do IT work in a school district. i’m glad i never became a high school teacher, but wish I’d waited a year and made a more informed decision on grad schools.

i never started the doctorate.
quit during the masters. i hadn’t chosen a focus. but it should have been on love and shifting identities in the works of Jeanette Winterson. It could have been good if I’d arrived at that earlier. i was too bad a state of mind to focus though. such is life.

Watching the world poop on each other is like watching the Jerry Springer show. We’ve seen it happen a million times, now I can focus on something good that I can actually have some say in.
I am just a squirrel trying to get a nut. I don’t poop on others, so I expect to not be pooped on. I do things to try to make other people’s (people that I care about) lives better. The rest takes care of itself.

Ghandi said:
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
to expand on that, I’d say that if a person lives their lives in an honorable, respectful, convicting way, every day; if they can truly make that who they are, people notice.
I think you just have to hope you inspire people to be better than they are and help them if/when they want help with honesty and respect. That’s what I hope I can do in my life and I don’t know if I’m effective at it or not. But in the end, you’re only accountable to yourself: if you feel you’ve done the best you can do, day in and day out, I think you’ll see the world change around you.

maybe an example is a dude I was talking to after a bike race a few weeks back
he blamed his poor performance on bad luck, but here is what happened to him.
He crashed hard on the first lap (he was running the wrong tires, and had them pumped up really high. Both of these things were well under his control and only ignorance or lack of preparation were the root causes, not the course.)
His tube came out of his seat bag and wound in his derailleur which cause his derailleur to snap off. He blamed it on bad luck. I would say it was a bad idea to run a seat bag in a race. It is a race and you dont need a seat bag. Again his ignorance and lack of preparation were the root causes.
In my estimation you can say life (whatever that is) is giving you poop, but often you are the root cause of the poop in your life.
in other words, luck favors the prepared.
