Diary of the Week

First, some links:

-- Remember when Damon got busted with the weed wrapped in tin foil in the airport?  The charges were dropped. The power of an attorney.
-- Highly recommended reading.  Thanks to Caleb over at the Trailblazers Game-Time Blog for the heads up.
-- Brian Hendrickson on LaMarcus Aldridge's Most Improved Player prospects.
-- Wendell Maxey on Travis Outlaw's Development.
-- More Maxey on The Sonics' last(?) home game.
-- Mike Barrett with his Mavericks Game Wrap.
-- Casey cranks up the multimedia with his Mavericks postgame report.
-- The Hoop Summit Game Recap from USA Basketball.

Now, this week's Diary of the Week was a runaway no-brainer: tominhawaii's Racism and the NBA."

Posted in that diary by commenter BlazersOrBust was an article he wrote for the Tufts Daily on a similar topic.   Check it out here.

Congratulations to tominhawaii.  I found this picture of him celebrating his achievement.

You Know
When I came home on a Friday to seven message from the local media, I seriously thought about trying to find a local kid to pretend to be Keoni for me.  I was freaking out, thinking that if I didn't play my cards right, they'd think I was a pervert trying to hook up with a teen.  The whole affair was pretty funny because my wife's family saw the story on the news, in Oregon, a week before the media found me.  I spend about five days laughing at the media and then two days trying not to have a panic attack.

I knew you were freak on the web. Just didn't know you were just as goofy in real life. Sooo funny!!

Yep
It's actually really embarrassing and really funny all at the same time.  I still blame my mother in law, it was her idea to reply from Hawaii.

The worst part
You being interviewed on the beach. Hawaiians are show offs.

by Sabonis4Ever on Apr 14, 2008 9:57 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I tried to do it in the parking lot
Of my apartment but they wanted to go to the beach and I was willing to do whatever they wanted to keep me from looking worse.  They were cool, they gave me a ride to work afterwards.

Thanks
I think that guy is wearing a Reyn Spooner.  Did you know that locals can tell if your aloha shirt is from Hawaii or not?  It took me a few months, but I can tell now too.

I feel like Tom Hanks, he went from Bachelor Party to Philadelphia.  To be honest, if I wasn't so sick of Colin Cowherd, I never would have listened to that Stephen A. Smith podcast, and I would have wrote a silly diary instead.  So I'm probably more of an Adams Sandler, and that was my Punch-Drunk Love.  I hope to some day be recognized for my work with American Idol.  It is not easy being serious.

That's you? That's odd...
I would have thought you were more of a pineapple juice type.
I remember supporting the Blazers under sniper fire.

I haven't had
A drink out of a coconut yet, but a mai tai out of a pineapple costs at least $10.  Unfortunately, I'm more of a beer guy that's why I'm so chubby.

After I saw that a couple of days ago
I wanted to make some sly comment about a message in a bottle but I was afraid of infringing on anyone's privacy. I'm glad the cat is out of the bag and the message is out of the bottle. I could hardly contain myself.

OT: Funny!  Sarah Palin giving an interview for her annual Turkey pardoning.  From CNN, "the ultimate holiday photo-op for any governor: the yearly pardoning of a turkey to spare it from demise days before Thanksgiving."  

However, the photo-op didn't quite turn out the way I think she wanted...notice the Turkey being slaughtered in the background as Sarah Palin gives her interview.

Can anyone come up with a caption for this video?  I'm thinking "Joe the farmer.  Really a farmer or part of the liberal media elite?"...I know lame.  Hopefully, you can some up with something better.   

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to make a political statement...just a little humor.
Give and G.O.
