9/21 My birthday junk drawer

So it's my birthday as it is now past 12 am central time. On this date 25 years ago I was born, the red and black already coursing through my veins (mostly the red stuff though). My father nicknamed me Drexler when I was a little boy. I had all the DQ cups, glass and plastic. I still have franz bread cards. I haven't been to Oregon this millennium, but the vision of the Rose Garden flame is still fresh in my mind. My mother is making me a Blazers themed quilt for my birthday.
I have a few passions, but those that burn brightest are for my Wife and Family, Education, the Law and my Country, and the Portland Trail Blazers. When I blow out my candles later today, I will no doubt think about wishing for world peace or some such, but in the end, when I close my eyes and exhale, I'll be wishing for a successful and injury free season for my beloved team.
Rip City Baby! Red Hot and Rollin' since 1984.

Happy Birthday
I second your wishes, and wish all the best and brightest to you in the next year.
I wish I could give you a 1984 time capsule, but its kind of fuzzy. I remember realizing that I did not belong in the Navy and that Clyde Drexler could do a little bit of everything real well, and that Kiki Vandeweghe could really shoot, and I remember that Sam Bowie had a really promising rookie year and I thought the combination of those three and kooky Mychal Thompson and some point guard somewhere (was it Fat Lever or Darnell Valentine that year?) could make us champs again. Alas

It was a fun year to listen to the games on the radio
Ramsey patrolling the sidelines, Schonely in his prime, and at least a fun team to consider the possibilities. I think I heard every game, all the way through the 5th quarter.
There were only, what, 20 games on TV that year? Half of their road games? And no national TV…. I’m not even sure the TBS contract for Tues and Fri night games had started yet.

I distinctly remember that about half the 1st round playofff games were not on tv
it was a travesty. I saw all the 2nd round games where we lost to LA, however. grrrrr
There must have been TBS that year, but I can’t remember any Blazer games

who had the USA Network back then?
I don’t think it was available to me at the time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_on_USA
A few Blazer tidbits on that page, including the first teaming of Eddie Doucette and Steve Jones.
From Basketball Reference, the Blazers’ roster that year:
31 Sam Bowie C-F 7-1 235 March 17, 1961 R University of Kentucky
34 Kenny Carr F 6-7 220 August 15, 1955 7 North Carolina State University
20 Steve Colter G 6-3 165 July 24, 1962 R New Mexico State University
22 Clyde Drexler G-F 6-7 210 June 22, 1962 1 University of Houston
25 Jerome Kersey F 6-7 215 June 26, 1962 R Longwood University
24 Audie Norris C 6-9 230 December 18, 1960 2 Jackson State University
4 Jim Paxson G-F 6-6 200 July 9, 1957 5 University of Dayton
50 Tom Scheffler C 6-11 240 October 27, 1954 R Purdue University
33 Bernard Thompson F-G 6-6 210 August 30, 1962 R California State University, Fresno
43 Mychal Thompson C-F 6-10 226 January 30, 1955 5 University of Minnesota
14 Darnell Valentine G 6-1 183 February 3, 1959 3 University of Kansas
55 Kiki Vandeweghe F 6-8 220 August 1, 1958 4 University of California, Los Angeles
Scheffler and Thompson are older than me! And Kenny Carr was almost as old as me.
The band I was in wrote an instrumental called Steve Colter. I thought Bernard Thompson was going to be a star!
This was the team that I saw battle the Indiana Pacers who had Rik Smits at the time. Kiki was guarding him! I started The Wave in the Memorial Coliseum that night. – Not Elgin

The whole “everyone from [opposing school x] is [insert insult here]” is tiring though. It’s good for a laugh, or on a rivarly matchup weekend. But for the most part, most students are aware the people at the other school are actually pretty much like them, unless it gets way to jingoistic at the school, like the aforementioned Duke/UNC situation.

Fans are the same everywhere.
I’ve seen UO fans act terribly in anecdotal situations as well, same for OSU and WSU along with the aforementioned UW stupidness.
Fans are fans. They’re all nuts, I mean the term is short for “fanatic”. All the PNW schools have crazy fans. You just had the bad luck of seeing a bad batch of a certain school’s fans.
Truth is, pretty much all the students across the PNW schools are somewhat similar, so most perceptions are usually just influenced by a few anecdotal moments, which are then extrapolated way too widely to the overall population of a school. I’ve been just as guilty of doing it before.
Ok, off soapbox.

top 10 worst? even if you look back “historically” at OSU’s sports to see that they sucked for 28 years in football, you can still say that they had an elite basketball program (until ’90), and a very good football program (before ’71).
now the football program is at least a top 30 program and the basketball program is trending back up towards the upper half of the Pac-10.

if we’re talking last 10 years, OSU might sneak in at the #20-25 range (1 BCS Bowl win, consecutive top 25 rankings, one of the higher win totals in the country the last 5 years).
5-10, Oregon is in; any longer and they are out
5 years Boise State is at least a top 15 program; 10 or longer and they aren’t in the discussion
Notre Dame is in regardless due to their BCS Bowl trips when Quinn was their QB.
UDub is in if we all talking all time or 10 years; 5 years or shorter and they are out

if I recall correctly, they gave Texas the edge because of their superior teams in the revenue sports.

correct
While each school can make a case for being named No. 1, this year SI chooses Texas over Stanford in a photo finish. That’s mainly because the Longhorns performed slightly better than the Cardinal in the big-ticket sports like football and because their fans approach sports with just a touch more fervor

Through a friend, I know Mickey Rourke a teensie bit
He has complained to us several times over the years how much he wants to get off steroids, but feels like his body is the last thing he hadn’t screwed up… of course, looking all roided out is screwing it up. He’s a nice guy, but kinda messed in the head… if one couldn’t guess.
Not that we’re friends, but if he saw me he’d say “Hey Mortimer what’s up” and then move on.
My friend was a trainer/manager at the Golds Gym in Venice, so lots of stars went to him with complaints about steroids and other drug stuff… not realizing he’s super duper ultra clean.
Point is, a lot of that movie can even be seen as about Rourke himself; trying to recapture past glory, drug abuse, steroid abuse, etc. It is a depressing movie.

I’m no expert, but he seems to have gotten cheek implants before they were any good. Now they are made of silicone and a pretty solid porous material that attaches well to the bone and doesn’t cause much irritation. He probably just got silicone injected, or material has leaked causing a need for more operations. Add some botox and other filler material injections, and the face starts looking pretty ridiculous.

No matter how often I read the onion, I always miss good stuff.
I’m not sure which part I liked more:
On numerous occasions, you have expressed the conviction that your area’s sports team will be victorious. I must admit that every time I hear you make this proclamation, I react with both laughter and disbelief. “Ha!” I say to myself with laughter. “What?!” I say to myself in disbelief. How could you believe that your sports team could beat my sports team? It is clear that yours is inferior in every way.
Or…
If you need another reason why the sporting franchise representing my area is superior, look no further than the supporters for the two sides. Not only are the supporters of the team from my region more spirited, but they are also more intelligent and of finer breeding than you and the rest of your ilk. In addition, the female supporters of the team from my area possess more attractive countenances and figures than yours. Some of the women from my side that I have observed could make a living by posing for pictures for major men’s magazines.
Either way, that’s high comedy. Thanks for the link.

I wouldn't be half of the man I am today without my mom.
But it’s hard to sit next to her when she is wearing her Pau shirt and jumping up and cheering for him while she is still rooting for the Blazers to beat the L.kers. And I was the only member of my family standing in opposition to LAs title run last year. I even made a FB account just for the purposes of talking trash to them. Lot of good that did me.
And Yes. Although I am serious about how much I appreciate my mom’s influence on my life, I was also making a joke about genetics in the header of this comment.

Older, but this might be the funniest Canzano story/interview I've ever read
Feat. Patterson vs. Z-Bo, Ha vs. Sinanovic, and of course Sheed vs. Canzano:
At that point, his teammates are all looking to see how I react, and in no way am I going to back down. I’m looking at Rasheed, and thinking if he takes a swing I’m going to try and stuff him into the locker behind him if only because journalists everywhere need me to man up in that situation. Either that, or I’m going to get knocked out and blow my deadline.

regarding all the talk about the refs and whatnot,
another thing that annoys me about NBA officals: rejecting accountability.
After the league publicly acknowledged the error, nearly all the officials responded the next night by wearing their jerseys inside-out with Henderson’s No. 62 on the back.
From an ESPN article. Officials protesting because the league acknowledges one of them made a mistake is ridiculous. Refs being willing to accept blame for blown calls in public would go a long way towards improving the quality of officiating, in my opinion.

Roy’s unwillingness to pass at the beginning of games have cost us too many times. Why do you think Travis Outlaw shoots the ball every time he touches it? Because he knows if he gives it up to Brandon, the ball will not come back to him.

I like how people are talking themselves into agreeing with your post.
uh. okaaaaay…
actually, I kind of hear what your saying, but comparing Roy’s leadership to that of Z-Bo immediately kills any point that you were trying to make. Roy may be selfish on the court, but that selfishness on the court usually results with a win. Z-Bo’s had the opposite effect. As for off the court, he has donated plenty of money to charities, scholarships, public parks, etc. And he is engaged to be married as far as I know.

I have a friend who works at the Rose Garden and he tells me that they are preparing for Media Day. They are gathering questions campus wide to ask the players.

Nelly Furtado has decided that she doesn't want to be too commercial
Her new album is entirely in Spanish, and much slower than “Loose”. Her record company wanted to make a similar record immediately, but she went on a one year break raising her daughter, doing pottery, cooking, marrying. The new one sounds much more like the first (I’m like a bird) and second one, middle-fast and melodic.
There is a song called “Feliz cumpleaños” like our Spanish friends said above, about her 30s birthday. That’s mainly why I mention it now in this birthday post. There is also a song named Suficiente Tiempo where she brings her daughter (6) to pre-school. That reminds me of Sophia.

Well, she probably took more time for her and focused on that alone. I’ve never done it, but I would assume touring and promoting an album or a movie worldwide burns out even someone with a lot of positive energy.

Isn't she of Portuguese decent though?

Yes, she sang the anthem for the opening of the European Soccer Championships when they were in Portugal
Maybe it’s partly Spanish, partly Portuguese?

Sounds like an invitation for bartering. Tell them you’ll trade it for 4 sheep—put terms to the sheep, ie living, one male, etc.
Or, tell them you’ll be in “West Africa” soon and can deliver it—Plz provide Address

right......
I really appreciate the quick responds, Am only contacting you to buy this item for my Spouse “Yomi” as a gift and she is currently out off town for a project as it’s her first time traveling out of town. Since we’re not going to be together this year, so I thought I should be getting her something nice. I will be paying you for this transaction to be concluded right away via my Pay pal account, so kindly get back to me with your pay pal email address as for me to remit the money ASAP. I would have prefer it if you can ship the package to me while I personally send it to her but I am not around, I’m presently on a business trip but I will be very much ready to pay for shipping charges. I will add an extra $150 to cover the Postage Packaging charges via USPS GLOBAL EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL (EMS). I will appreciate your swift reply. Thanks

I guess if I wanted to add on tickets
on my season ticket account, I should have started calling at 11:30 or something instead of a couple minutes before noon. crap.

finally got through.
got one of the three games I wanted. but it was the one i wanted most. advice for the people that may try to get tickets on the 28th, call before noon and just keep dialing. good luck.

That’s true, but he didn’t need to call out the people who took it seriously and make the whole post sound like a complete farce. He could have been more sarcastic in his point, and it would have worked better.

Kanye might have been out of line, but it might be the best thing he’s done since Gold Digger. (I don’t listen to much Kanye but that’s my favorite song of his).

I didnt think 808's was good
but Gold Digger is about as low as Kanye could get. That song is soulja boy level. College Dropout, Late Registration (minus Gold Digger), and Graduation were all great albums.

All three albums are on different teirs
I think College Dropout was one of the best hip hop albums ever
Late Registration was really good
Graduation was good but not as good as the first two

I dont think Kanye fits the pop description
Pop music is a music genre that developed from the mid-1950s as a softer alternative to rock ‘n’ roll and later to rock music. It has a focus on commercial recording, often orientated towards a youth market, usually through the medium of relatively short and simple love songs.
