Junk Drawer -- May 29, 2k9 (Love Edition)
I love weddings, drinks all around!
Today's junk drawer is for...well....junk. Just like always. But to kick us off, got any love advice?
What's the first thing to remember in a lovey dovey relationship?
Should you play hard to get or be the one who shows unconditional love?
Should you be up front about your relationship when you start and define it or just let it evolve over time (i.e. off the bat "we're just friends/we are in this for the long haul/whatever" or just let it happen)?
Proposal stories might also be interesting.
Keep it fun, keep it clean, and try to keep your junk where it belongs.
Ready, set...go. Now.

Never get involved with a woman who tries to control your facial hair.
A man’s mustache is part of his face. If she doesn’t love it, then she doesn’t love you.

You're wrong.
mustaches are gross. If you don’t believe me google Adam Morrison.

Nope. They are beautiful.
You’ve been brainwashed by the mainstream media which is obsessed with youth. A mustache is the anchor of the face.

Baah
Mustaches hide mouths and smiles and that’s what I look at first.
Or if they’re pencil thin like Mike Conley’s I always think of the villains in every movie I saw growing up. I guess that’s why I don’t want Conley on my team – shifty sneaky con-man is all I think of when I see him.
Like sunglasses hide the eyes.
I hate sunglasses. I hate talking to somebody wearing sunglasses because I’m looking at some dark, semi reflective surface in the general vicinity of their eyeballs. For the same reason, I don’t wear sunglasses. Yeah, I gotta squint sometimes, but there’s still a sliver of eyeball to be seen there.
The eyes are the windows to the duodenum…or something.
The cowards never started
The weak died along the way
Only the strong survived
They were the Trailblazers

???? a GUY wanted a girl to cut long hair ???
Wierd for sure !
Long hair is basically always an improvement, in my book.
On the other hand, think twice about a girl who trashes beautiful long hair with a perm.
I don't know
Last night there was a lady at a restaurant that had hair past her butt and she was holding the end in her fist and pulling split ends off something off. It was really gross. I think long hair that goes past the belt is disgusting. It’s probably filled with feces and gets covered in toilet water.

The girl who won Top Model the other week
Looks EXACTLY like Travis Outlaw.

Honestly, ever season they got a girl who looks like Outlaw. It’s a common look.
Mortimer
They have the same forehead-eye brow proportions
Travis has more pronounce cheekbones, this is just from memory though
She lives in my lap
WORD UP.STAY.FRESCO
YOUR cheekbones are more pronounced
After I POUND THEM WITH MY FISTSTSS for contradicting me!!!
Here is Outlaw:

The evidence speaks for itself.
Nope
Trout has SHOULDERS. No way can they be disguised. Airbrushed out perhaps, but if she had his shoulders she wouldn’t have won.
Clearly the photos were taken Trout's rookie year.
I’m shocked and dismayed at your naivete, Jorga.
I’m going to tell the post office to deliver your mail to me first so I can make sure no scammers are getting to you.
Mortimer
what do you have to do to win?
she just looks like an average joe….errr….Josephine to me.
You and I will share all that we know--so close your eyes and just let yourself go.
Yeah, she wasn't like HUBBA HUBBA
Most of the models are normal girls who are tall.
She looks better in the made-up fancy pics, though. In person, she looked like Outlaw with a pony tail.
Acted like him too.
Outlaw is adorable, so it works.
Mortimer
To confuse matters further

This is actually a picture of TEYONA, the female model, taken on the America’s Next Top Model show, where everyone was dressed up to look like a NBA player and a wallpaper for fans was made of them.
It really is a good resemblance, first glance you think it is just a picture of Outlaw dunking.
Nope. It’s Teyona.
Mortimer
You can't fool me.
I watched the show and they never did that photo shoot. Plus, I can tell the difference because I have two eyes that work well enough.
I went to the malls and I balled too hard
'Oh my god, is that a Black Card?'
I turned around and replied, why yes but I prefer the term
African American Express
I called Teyona Travis Outlaw
And the other lanky black girl who made it real far looked like Ronnie Brewer when she smiled, so I called her Ronnie Brewer.
I dunno how the nicknames came to me they just did! As if in a dream.

I prefer my romances to be romances, and my comedies to be comedies. The only movie genre less cool than romantic comedies are romantic drama-dies.
That said, I’ve taken multiple female companions (including the wife, many moons ago) to these insipid flicks for the sake of getting someshowing that I shared their interests. So you only get a -0.5 for saying lame to her when she has already left. :P

My advice for him is to quit basketball and become a character actor in Hollywood.
There was a thing on TV about him.
At least I’m pretty sure it was the same guy. He never had big enough shoes growing up, so his toes curled up, almost folding back on themselves. The bones continued to go straight, essentially poking out the bottoms of his toes. It showed the visit to the foot doctor and the X-rays and all that. Yeeeeeesh.
He definitely did not look like somebody that would make it in the NBA. Sure, you can’t teach height, but you also can’t teach glued-to-the-floor-slow-like-molasses-stone-hands-no-reflexes.

Other than basic don't be jerk advice
I think love is too individual and personal for general advice to be effective. I, for one, hate playing games, but that might work for some people.
How about I just give you my favorite (or one of my favorites) love quotes. I’m sure you’ve all heard it before.

“’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”
and a slightly different version
“To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.”

that approach has only worked well for me
when my goal was to have only a friendship with a girl. I cannot think of a single time in my life that a pure friendship turned into anything else. It’s always felt like someone needed to establish the intention towards romance early and, even if there was no immediate fruition of it, both of us knew the direction. My wife and I were friends as teens, but friends who both knew that they were hoping to be more. The mutual understanding of intentions was really important.

just listening to dave's podcast and it mad me realize
that the west is going to be insanely good next year. With the l*kers still themselves, denver looking strong, a healthy spurs team plus maybe splitter, houston was really good in the playoffs and with a healthy yao and maybe mcgrady(for at least part of the season), the blazers(of course). stuff is going to be tight at the top. plus a couple of those mid level teams and the young crummy teams getting older

1)love is defined bifferantly by everyone so fined out what love means to your partner
2)just play yourself if you express love openly do that if it is harder for you make sure your lover knows how hard it is for you
3)you can’t define something that is always changing
And lastly I give you some advise that has been handed down father to son on for over a hundred years in my family. “In life god grants you 1 good dog,1 good horse, and 1 good women. I have had a lot of good dogs own more then my fair share of good horses but I have only meet one person like your mother and I would mot be worth a soft pinch of poo with out her.” Those words came from my dad when he was in his 60’s and raised 6 kids and had been married over 40 years. they were advise that he was told on his wedding day from his pa.

love...
Love takes all forms and means many things. Much like the eskimos and their snow, a culture steeped in love would need to have language that possessed multiple words for love… for that.. I turn to the Greeks..
θέλημα (Thelema) – This type of love refers to the desire to accomplish things in your life. For those of us who are lucky enough to find a career path that we are passionate about, θέλημα is what we feel about our jobs and possibly the schooling that leads us to these jobs.
στοργή (Storge) – This type of love usually refers to affections within a family, although it is not the only type of love considered among family. Those of you who have relatives that you are not in any way close to but that you know you would be there for when it really counted (because they are family afterall), στοργή is the best term for this type of love.
φιλία (Philia) – One of the more famous types of love as it founds itself a name in the city of brotherly love (and Will Smith), Philadelphia. Although this type of love is mostly used for the love between friends, it really is about camaraderie. This is also where love becomes even more complex, because even though φιλία is not about passion, a large component of a successful relationships involves developing the trust of friendship with your mate. For myself, striving for feeling and expressing φιλία to all is one of the noble duties of humanity, and I have no problem saying that I feel φιλία for each of you.
ερως (Eros) – This is an easy one; the desire that comes with erotic passion. There is nothing more controversial about love than this aspect of it. Some believe that this is a natural and divine progression beyond the mere camaraderie of φιλία that facilitates the union of two lives into one couple. Others believe that ερως is not really love at all, but merely the animalistic cravings to reproduce that are misdirected through societal forces into producing monogamous relationships. Generally, unless you are an extreme hedonist, ερως does not usually refer to the horny desires that lead otherwise sane individuals to stalkfollow others online, but the line here is extremely difficult to draw even when you have such great word representing each type of love.
αγάπη (Agape) – While ερως is the simplest type of love to understand on a visceral level, αγάπη is a type of love that is quite abstract. Many argue that it was overused in it’s own time the same way we overuse the term love today. (insert: I love ____; well, then why don’t you marry ____ jokes here). At some point, many put αγάπη as the purest and most highest form of love – unconditional love. Now, this is doubly confusing, because I had already suggested that στοργή above was the catch-all family love where we don’t have to like our family to know that we love them. But I would like to challenge you all to embrace αγάπη as being at a far different level than typical family love. I believe that people must have reached a certain level of transcendence of the self in order to experience αγάπη. No other love can really describe the types of sacrifices people make for one another — sacrifices that may even cause us to question the nature of the individuality. Why are people willing to die for causes and countries they believe? Why would one person not hesitate to sacrifice their own life for another? On the one hand, some western psychological thought has even developed terms like co-dependence to describe relationships where the individual loses themselves. Many would say that the willingness to sacrifice one’s self for a cause is folly, likely brought about by propaganda and ignorance. However,
Christian writings use αγάπη to refer to the type of love that God feels for all (John 3:16 is clearly defines this love) and suggests that this love flows through us and that if we allow it to flow through us that we transcend mere φιλία and can embrace one another as God intended. Now, I am not personally a religious man, but I am deeply spiritual one. More importantly, I have experienced love in my life that has rocked me to my core and caused me to question everything about myself. There is no amount of φιλία mixed with ερως that explains my life.. sitting by the hospital bed of my wife. It is not a love that requires anything nor does it really prevent anything. There is nothing about it that eliminates the comradeship I feel towards friends nor the sexual desires another woman may produce in me. It is not a love that consumes you, but rather one makes you more than yourself. I don’t have to think about my wife for her to be with me no matter where what separates us. I did not have to question why I would tattoo my wedding band to myself, because no change in mental or physical state and no circumstance or mistakes could possibly alter that bond. It transcends who my wife and I are — transcends our interests, attractions, and life paths. Even the word unconditional does not do justice to αγάπη for all of the conditions that we place on relationships during the other phases of love do not just get thrown out of the door; they cease to have any meaning. Even if my wife were to die in this bed tonight (don’t worry, that’s no more likely than any of you randomly dying in your own beds), she is part of me eternal.

Greek thought on this was even crazier than that
Prevailing Greek thought during much of the classical era was that women were so vast inferior to men that the love between men was considered the building blocks of society while love for a woman is less interesting than love for your house or your pets.
Of course, ignoring the potential value in understanding love through their language, because they were a disturbed society is like making an appeal to motive, which is a logical fallacy directly related to ad hominem.

it is not particular popular in classical literature
Not a lot of philosophical treatise or love poems directed towards careers and accomplishments. Religiously, it was used when referring to the a specific order dedicated to the cultivation of human virtues.
It really became popularized by Aleister Crowley in the 20th century for his Wiccan-type occult and the motto “Do what thou wilt”.

General relationship advice
DATE A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Really figure out what you like in a person and what you want. It will likely be different than what you expected, so don’t think you already know until you have dated different types of people.
Even if one is waiting for marriage to do different “date stuff”, it don’t matter— you need to figure out what sort of personality you best mesh with. The rest can be figured out.
I also think it is important to live together before marriage, but psuedo-living together is likely enough. You just don’t really know a person till you live with them, and you don’t know if you actually hate them until you live with them. For something you ideally only wanna do once like marriage, it’s an important thing to know whether you can stand living with the person.
I got friends who married too young, too quickly, to people they didn’t realize they actually can’t stand. If you’re gonna be with this person forever, does it hurt to not get married so fast and make sure you even LIKE this person? Don’t be in a rush for nuthin’.
Plus, who you are changes drastically from 18-25, and then onwards.
So go on now, get out there, and good luck!
Mortimer
Agreed! Don't be seriously thinking about marrying anyone until you dated them when you are older than 25 or they are older....
experience life apart.
and differently experience living together
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
definitely not easy
as some who got married at 20 to a 18 year old, I wouldn’t recommend for every reason that they say.
On the one hand, I’m still married twelve years later. On the other hand, we needed about a year long separation about six years ago or else we would have killed each other. Young marriages are like arranged marriages; a million reasons not to do them but people find ways to make them work and when they do, they are special.

great for you idol. that's awesome.
yeah, looking back at my 18-24 days…if i had married any one of my gfs, it would have ended already.
something weird happens to people past 25 i think…maturity and growing into what you want? maybe? it’s a generality but good rule of thumb

yes that is true
It is probably no surprise that we had to separate right around that time and, essentially, re-fall in love with each other after figuring ourselves out. Trying synthesize the lives of two people is hard enough when you are dealing with each person still developing.
"Slum dunk? You just go to the rim, and crush.. crush the ball in the rim."
- Nic Batum
Yeah, and everyone is different
Some people DO find a great match that young. It’s just less likely is all, and most people change so much in these young n’ stupid years.
My parents got married at 19, and started having kids right away. They’re still together, but almost broke up a billion times growing up and actually did break up for one year when I was older. We had a ton of money problems growing up, always had to move, and it was probably tougher than it had to be if they waited.
So to me, I wanted to make sure I waited, and try to be able to afford kids before I get some.
There is no perfect way of course, and one shouldn’t make strict rules about things like this. Just do your best to be aware of what ya want and what you’re looking for.
Mortimer
While I don't agree 100%
I do think you need to experience a whole lot of things before you can be married. Dating a lot of people is one of them. all of my family have been married before their 25th Birthday (The average is around 22) and my parents are celebrating their 40th after marrying at age 20. However they had lived some of their lives and experience a lot of things before meeting each other.
I don’t think living together needs to proceed marriage, because I feel that this gives a false sense of security. Meaning the thought “I am only living with this person so I can leave whenever I want” kind of attitude and sometimes this carries over to the marriage.
But I understand to each their own. I will never trade the years I have spent with my wife going to college together and basically enjoying those “younger” years as we learned about each other and basically had care free fun days before my son came along.
"Do or Do not there is no Try"
Yoda
Yeah, that's the main point
Everyone is ready at different ages, and 25 is a mostly arbitrary number but a decent cut off date for when people kinda become who they become— just a still dumb, young version of their eventual person. It doesn’t mean they’re a mature and responsible adult, but prolly more of one than when they were 20.
So many people think they gotta do this and that by certain ages, and I don’t agree with that. It’s whenever you’re ready.
And if you’re young, you’re usually not ready, even if it feels like it. Just gotta do your best to be cognizant if your situation and remember there is no rush for marriage, kids, all that crap. So many people I know rush into it like they had a time limit and had to TRAP the other person, or do it while ya still had the courage. I dunno.
My motto: if in doubt, wait. That person will still be there if you were supposed to get married.
Morty
i like your motto.
if you let them go and they don’t come back to you, you never really had them in the first place is what a friend told me.
You and I will share all that we know--so close your eyes and just let yourself go.
which is probably not exactly true, but the idea behind it has some truth to it.
You and I will share all that we know--so close your eyes and just let yourself go.
Yeah
And it’s not even as severe as “letting them go”, breakin’ up or whatever… just spending more time with them as a couple, and not a married couple, just to make sure.
Another tip from Uncle Morty: if you’re with someone, even if you’ve been together a long time, and you have no intention on marrying them or making a life with them, and things aren’t going all that great, just end it. You’ll be happy you did. Overstretched relationships, where you’re just together because you’ve been together a long time, do no one any good.
It ain’t worth the hassle for both people, so be the strong one and end it.
Mortimer
the other side is true...sometimes you gotta fight for what you love...don't let stupidity get in the way...just listen to uncle morti

Yeah x2
I got a friend in that situation, where I am advising he fight for his loved one to ensure that they know he wants to be together. They have a child, haven’t been married long, going through a tough patch.
Since I worry that he might just kinda ‘go along with it’ and not stand up for what he wants, I’m just reminding him to fight for what he wants, if he doesn’t want the relationship to end.
It all depends, and there is no concrete rule.
Just gotta do what makes ya happy… in non-evil, selfish sorts of ways… MOST of the time.
Morty, Unkie.
oh man, i have a friend in the same situation...
they thought it will be easy with a baby, but it hasn’t been so they are now blaming each other versus looking at the rough times holistically

Anyone have any opinions on this?
“Most teams we’ve spoken to in Chicago are indicating that they believe Oklahoma City is indeed leaning towards picking Harden. They also believe the Thunder are not enamored with Rubio at all, as they are committed to developing Russell Westbrook at his natural position—point guard.” -draftexpress
Is it wrong that I want OKC to succeed? I think picking Thabeet or Rubio would be a mistake. I also thought this was interesting.
-Larry Brown is reportedly extremely high on Stephen Curry, and may be willing to trade up in order to get him. Apparently he views him as being able to play either guard position, even alongside Charlotte’s current group of point guards, Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin.
Curry is getting love from teams as high up as Washington and also has a chance to be drafted 6th (Minnesota) or 7th (Golden State). While the Knicks clearly like him, he isn’t the only player they will consider—the other top candidates on their board currently appear to be Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday.
Is Curry the anti-Rubio?
Roy is the best player in the world with the exception of Incarcerated Mike from Queensbridge .
by Nick Van Excellent on May 29, 2009 6:01 AM PDT reply actions
If Memphis and Oklahoma pass on Rubio he would drop to Sacramento at 4 who would love him
But that could be too low for him on the rookie scale to be willing to pay his buyout. So there still might be some trading up and around going on.

Love.....
avoid any inkling to desiring it. Avoid anyone who is too involved in it. Make every effort to stay out of it. Love is trouble Love makes wise men break their banks, Stupid women get pregnate when they don’t think they should be, and splits up more marriages in present day than STD’s, or maybe that’d be the lack of it….. but in anycase it’s wayyyyyyyy overrated….. I believe that it’s nothing more than some terrible definition of a few emotional outbursts, and maybe some gland releasage……. other than that… what is so diffrent between love and deeply caring about something…..
Love is just …. silly really a waste of time to make people happy that don’t really appriciate it. imo…

Do not chase me any more.
Leave me alone, Tyrant-Love,
Leave me alone.
Be enough with the time I´ve wasted.
Because I´ve followed your restless flags,
Fugitive captain, to my sorrow.
Forgive me, Love, here, Since I forgive you there.
Four "escudos" (*old currency) of patience,
Ten of advantage in loving.
Leave me alone, Tyrant-Love,
Leave me alone.
Unhappy lovers
who join such militia,
Say To Me, what good guide
can you get from of a blind person?
From a bird what steadiness?
What hope from a lad?
What award from a bare?
From a tyrant, what mercy?
Leave me alone, Tyrant-Love,
Leave me alone.
Ten years I wasted,
The best of my age,
In being a grower of Love
At the cost of my wealth.
Since I ploughed and sowed, I took;
I ploughed an upset sea,
Sowed a sterile sand,
Took exhaustion and shame.
Leave me alone, Tyrant-Love,
leave me alone.

hey, it's Teyona!
You and I will share all that we know--so close your eyes and just let yourself go.
My wife is reading a book called "Why Men Love Bitches."
I don’t know if that says more about her, or me. The author thinks that if woman go around acting superior and hard to get it will keep the men challenged, and therefore not bored. The ultimate no-no is to let him have you right away, cuz then he gets bored and won’t find you interesting ever again. I think it’s a stupid book.
For me, I was engaged to a girl in college, and it ended badly. I was WAY too emotionally involved, and couldn’t see all the negatives until I was so angry that I couldn’t see any of the positives. I promised myself I wouldn’t date for a year, and literally wrote a list of the must-haves, and can’t-haves of a potential spouse. This list has to be short, obviously, but I was able to avoid some people based on it, and it was the right move. My list looked like this:
Must Have/Be
-Responsible with money
-Decent relationship with her parents
-Direct communicator
Can’t Have/Be
-Bad Driver
-So insecure I have to constantly provide validation
-too much of a right winger
The next person I dated, I married, so I think it worked pretty well. Hope that helps.
Trying not to get banned from the internets
i think you miss one of the Must Have/Be = Blazer fan
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
In adding to that, the person must also actually be a fan of the blazers

HI!!!!!
okay, let me clear up the rumors. I am not in NYC yet. I’m still in Portland. The reason I haven’t been on BEdge in so long is that the weather has been beautiful and I have been trying to break my addiction to the internet. But I will be leaving Bedge soon because I have a summer ballet program in Boston June 27th – August 2nd. I don’t think I’ll have much internet access there so I probably won’t be on Bedge at all during that time. I go to NY at the end of August for school but (here’s the tricky part) I MIGHT be ending up in Boston next year depending on whether I get into Boston Ballet pre-professional division which I’m auditioning for this summer. So in a very confusing wrap up, I’ll be on the east coast some way or another.
I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.
you lost some BEdge street cred....(check yo sig yo)
BUT i’m glad you are back…and excited for your journey east…it’s quite fun. though NYC>Boston
You haven’t been on here for more than 2 weeks i think…and it has been sunny for 2 weeks. virtual friends check in with virtual friends where-ever they may be.
this is a healthy addiction to balance your ballet life.
btw…don’t fall in love with someone in NYC or Boston. there’s no such thing there unless you actually live there.
Go Blazers!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooot Wooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!
You're right.
I should probably change my sig to something like, “I blazersedge every now and then when I feel like it” But darn, it doesn’t sound very good! And don’t worry about me falling in love with anyone. I may fall in love with someone, but with me luck they won’t love me back! I have crap luck with guys and I don’t think its going to change on the east coast.
I Blazersedge daily, nightly and ever so rightly.
you are thinking all wrong...reverse the cycle

reverse your mentality and it will CHANGE the whole game….or continue to enjoy getting stalked by Prez and his posse

i remember being part of this arguement with you before..
baseball has nostalgic value for me (I lived in all blue for a couple of years around 1988), but the only time i didn’t change the channel/leave within a couple minutes of a game going on in the last 17 or so years was around four years ago when I happened to catch Clemens involved in an amazing duel that extended into the 13-14th inning or something. Then other things happened and any thought that Clemens was such an amazing force were replaced by just more disdain for “America’s Past Time”.
But I definitely respect how you keep defending it, even if I cannot get it.

agreed. Baseball is fun to watch.
The atmosphere is fun, the game is fun etc etc. A lot of people don’t like baseball because they don’t know whats going on. If you know whats going on, its a lot more interesting.

I find the pastoral elements of baseball
much more appealing than the violence, mayhem, and militarism of the NFL. Basketball, of course, is only not beautiful when the officials decide to clog up the game. It’s not hard to see why baseball is no longer America’s passtime but it really is a great great game, especially live.

Kenny Powers says about relationship is how I roll.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
If your friends (the really good ones)
have reservations about your choice : listen to them. Love is totally, completely, uncontrollably blind and it’s nearly impossible to hear something negative about your beloved without slaying the messenger. But I know 2 (over 25) men who each got infatuated with a lovely younger blonde (different ones) who was “good in bed” and married them. Both men ended the marriages in under two years. I told one later that all our friends just shook their heads when it was obvious he was falling for her. “Why didn’t you TELL me?”, he said. “Because you wouldn’t have listened.” “Yeah, you’re right, I wouldn’t have.” The other guy was my ex husband and both of our kids (who were over 18) advised against it. He didn’t listen and they we’re right – she really took advantage of him before he kicked her out.
Everyone I knew had reservations about the guy I married
but we’re still happily together and having fun after almost 23 years. I wouldn’t have wanted to miss a day of it. Probably, in my case, the exception proves the rule so I guess I’m very fortunate.

MY ADVICE:
marriage will expand on the existing traits of your relationship. from there, kids will expand it 10x that.
so if you squabble about sex, money, sports…the squabbling continues exponentially…
if you don’t, and have a great time, it will be 10x better when you are married then have kids…
bottom line: marriage/kids will expand on your existing traits…negatively or positively…so make sure you have one that is going in the positive…don’t go into a marriage/kids thinking it will make your sketchy relationship improve or “strengthen our love”
love grows easier when it’s rolling in the right direction

Marriage is the first step in divorce
Love is for chumps. You gotta treat your lady like a commodity. Don’t think of her as a person or a teammate, only think about what she can give you and what her value is to other men in case you want to trade up to a younger model.
Te corto tu cara!
She might be okay now
But what in 3, 4 years, when she’s 32? Her career as a good looking lady is about over, and you got a franchise of manhood to run.
Tom is right, there is no room for sentimentality in marriage. Trade high, and know when to rebuild.

Remember how Dave said he picked some moderators and would be selecting others? The catch is that on Monday morning, everybody will be a moderator with the power to ban instantly. At first there will be this long standoff, like at the end of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, with everybody looking around nervously. Then somebody will flinch and ban someone else. Then it will all snowball out of control. Everyone will be banned. The mushroom cloud will rise. Fare thee well, Blazers Edge.

Fearthesword.com: "There is no doubt that the long layoff, combined with the ease of the first two rounds had the Cavaliers a bit tired in the 4th quarter."
I honestly think Hinrich pushes us to sixty wins next year.
What were we missing on the team this year? A defensive leader and perimeter defense. Hinrich could shore up our perimeter defense and hold guys accountable. His contract comes off the books just as Rudy, Batum, and Bayless come up for extension.
Win. Win… Win.
Fearthesword.com: "There is no doubt that the long layoff, combined with the ease of the first two rounds had the Cavaliers a bit tired in the 4th quarter."
Short of an A-level PG who we can't get
I dunno a better fit for what we do than Hinrich.
More athletic, TONS better defense, can shoot, play off the ball, good age, etc.
A Hinrich/Blake PG rotation would be as solid as solid can be, and while I’d like Bayless to get some minutes for development, if it ain’t in the cards it ain’t in the cards.

Blake would be in the deal. Chicago doesn't need Hinrich anymore, but an adequate replacement
Otherwise they are stuck with a mid-first round pick or a super-old backup for Rose.

I dunno, maybe. Wendy from BaB said that the lack of a set system in Chicago (they played a lot of 1 v 1) really hurt Hinrich. He thrives in a McMillan-type offense.

absolutely. It’s a four or five hour commitment. I’d demand at least $200, probably.

it should be based on what you score

My scale may be a little different. My Pixar 10's are Wall-E and Monsters Inc.
It’s around 8.5 to 9.0.
It’s a really, really well done movie. It’s clear they put an amazing amount of thought into it, and made a very unique movie. We both thought it was near the top of Pixar’s work… It’s a very memorable movie.
But… It’s heart-wrenching at times, and honestly it’s a movie for adults, not kids. The kids in the theater were often confused… the animals and the action sequences saved it for them. But it’s really for adults. My wife was emotionally exhausted by the end. (My wife just spoke up: “You know how Pixar always has a heartbreaking, emotionally charged moment in each movie? Combine them all and multiply by 10.”)
It’s very limited on rewatchability, IMO. No matter how good it is, it’s probably not a movie we’ll say “Let’s watch that again!”. But we’ll rave about how good it was nonetheless. Just completely different from a movie like Toy Story.
Oh, and the featurette before the movie starts is fun and creative. We liked it more than the rabbit/magician one before Wall-E.
Overall, a strong recommendation to go see it. Just be prepped for something a little different. The first 5 minutes are compelling and unlike anything Pixar has done previously.

I hadn't seen that in a while, thanks for the link
While they both have the same kind of style, ie. Pixar has their own style, the movie isn’t similar to that short IMO. The inventiveness and insight into human nature is definitely there, but the movie is not as playful and light-hearted. There’s definitely playful and light moments (primarily involving the animals), but it’s got a more serious undertone. The lead character, while also being older, is very different from the character in Geri’s Game.
I didn’t mention it above, but it’s worth noting that I could completely understand why someone would give Up a 10. It leaves an imprint on you by the time it’s over.
Thanks Timmay...i'm hoping to take the fam this weekend...

Let me know what you guys think. It’s really different from Monsters Inc btw. I’m amazed at the level of writing Pixar pulls off, while contained to the animation genre.
Kinda curious if your kids eject after the first 10 mins of this one too… much like Wall-E, it’s about setting up the story. So heads up, they may get restless.

Check in over the weekend in the JD’s and let me know. I’m curious what others think, and I’m also wondering if your kids end up enjoying it.
BTW, Wall-E is at least worth a rental. Much like Up, you’re never quite sure if Wall-E was even made for kids, because it’s simply a fantastic movie, regardless of age… and arguably, it’s more effective when you’re an adult. Unlike what I mentioned about “Up,” I enjoy Wall-E in repeat viewings. I don’t think I can explain why I think only one of the two is a movie I can watch repeatedly, without getting into spoilers.
Who knows though? By the time the DVD comes out, maybe I’ll reconsider on “Up”. It’s such an impressive movie.

Having come from a childhood that I don’t wish upon anyone, at an early age my first resolution was this.
Don’t fight. Don’t argue.
Not over the little things, not over the bigs. Why do you wish to draw blood when if it was anybody else in the world you wouldn’t give it a second thought? Or if it was a new found love interest you’d give in faster than Rudy can pass a ball between Shelden Williams’ legs.
"He who controls his spirit is stronger than a mighty city."
Now that might not sound like advice on love. But I guarantee that it is, and I figure most of the other topics will get covered.
Now does anybody have some love for this, at this point begging is not out the question on my part.

Looks like Pacers are not completely happy with Jack and Ford and looking for a PG at #13 (here: Lawson)
In a weird way, that has to stink for Indy fans.
A year ago, they had the #11 pick, and traded it to Portland for the #13 pick. This year they improved enough to move to that #13 pick… but Portland’s down to the #24 pick and gaining acceleration.
How come?
One is a ballhog and one isn’t really a PG. That smells like CHAMPIONSHIPS from here!
I hope they are more unhappy with Ford, since he is a bad playing ballhog jerk-wad player (when I see him play).
Indy needs to get worser before they get betterer. They’re too mediocre-bad.

DX Givony didn't like how Griffin measured out
-Blake Griffin measured out well from a height perspective, but he doesn’t appear to have great length at all. His standing reach and wingspan are both far below average for a power forward, which likely helps explain why he is such an unimposing defender and shot-blocker. In fact, amongst the 42 power forwards in our database who were selected as top-15 picks, Griffin is just a quarter of an inch from ranking dead last in the wingspan category, and an inch from ranking dead last in standing reach. Yikes.
He also says Curry = Bayless in terms of size measurements
I suppose when they test vert, Bayless will be far better. Speed maybe not much.
Bayless is beefier though
Curry seems much smaller, but their height looked the same.
M.
ps: I love pre-draft camp measurements day :-)
I always question myself judging height when I see college player against college player
Since everyone is short, and I am calibrated for NBA heights.
But yeah, Griffin always looked small, and he was beasting guys even smaller, and that just won’t happen in the NBA.
Bayless has short arms and I always defend it. In a post player, it hurts more. He’ll get blocked a lot more easily.
I’m eager to see how his vertical and other times were.

wow. So he’s a power forward with an unrefined post game, little defense, and short arms? Kind of a sucky Dwight Howard who doesn’t play defense?

Bynum with a "good aggressive foul" according to JVG
Wonder when Greg will earn that honor, instead of announcers and pundits calling it dumb.
Nice travel by him on the other end
Btw what’s the Nuggets being so easily frustrated, something doesn’t work out on the previous possession on O and they play overaggressive D on the other end, usually resulting in a foul. Temperamental team.

"Another hard foul by Bynum"
I feel bad for Bynum and he protects the rim two times and he has to go the bench, he’s just protecting the rim.

my utter disgust at seeing the L.kers finish out so strong
Is slightly alleviated by seeing Big Game James give the trophy. He was such a fluid player with an unreal first step and ability to finish.

Yeah, the Lakers seemed overjoyed didn't they.
"Aneurysm".
When Outlaw wins a game on a last-second shot, it’s called an "annthefaneurysm". QualityPie
as it should be I guess
Celebrating being taken to seven games by the Rox and six games by the Nugz when everyone had declared them in the finals before the season started seems a bit silly.
If they actually win the championship, they will be .10/25 since coming to LA. They probably shouldn’t be satisfied.
Now I’m somewhat stuck hoping for the Cavs to make a come back, because I’d rather LA didn’t win more than I want LeBron to lose. And I don’t think the Magic will be able to get it done.

do you enjoy some posting up or breaking ankles???

I’m 5’2’’ and 106 pounds. Basketball is not made for people like me.

it could still work out
if you played against people under 5’ and less than 90lbs, you would be the PF/C!!
But galacticlove always claims to be able to break people’s ankles off the dribble and to shoot from anywhere on or near the court. So if you were to give up the whole ballet thing and start on one of those basketball dvds… who knows what could happen?
heh..

It's crazy
is that this JD has gotten like barely half of the average from the past 3-4 days and that is still almost 600 comments
Clearly, there is some additional activity throughout the site then in previous days but it seems like an amazing drop off regardless.

Vets never get appreciated until you have none
I have a hard time believing that the topic of the JD means much to the number of comments though, not as much as the people who are (or are not) leaving comments and following responses throughout the day.
A third variable explanation for why vets are getting the short end is that some of us newer folks are less likely to be around towards the weekends.. maybe… so someone like you or tih, etc. That doesn’t feel very compelling either, but it isn’t the JD post itself. Your post certainly stimulated more direct response than mine from yesterday (although it wasn’t like I was seeking a specific response to anything); just less general junk and endless responses.

I'm normally more of a Windows guy (even Linux) over Mac, thanks to doing IT.
But I’m pretty happy with the iphone. It does have some drawbacks (including dealing with Apple being the gatekeeper of everything you want to do on it, unless you hack it). But it’s a very well designed device, and has lots of stuff you can do with it.
I almost got the Blackberry Bold instead, but so far I’ve been fine with the decision. Even with Slingmedia being a pain and not allowing 3G streaming on the iPhone.
I almost got a Blackberry Bold
as well. I had a Blackberry Pearl before I got the iPhone and really liked it. The Bold was just too big and the internet is way better on the iPhone but it could kind of loses its luster without the 3G network. It’s pretty rough when I go to Sunriver and its connected to the Edge network.
The only thing about the iPhone that I don’t like is the keyboard. I make so many mistakes when typing because its so small, but luckily the autocorrect is really good.

The upcoming iphone os 3.0 is supposed to let you use the keyboard in landscape mode in all applications
That should make it easier to type on.

I know; it sucks
With him, there would have been a chance. Guard defense is the primary weakness to exploit.
The Cavs don’t really seem to be a good matchup for them either, unless Mo was to go off the hook for the whole series. Of course, he may have to do that to win in game 6 and even give them a chance.
