NBA Needs Help

Christmas time is upon us once again. This is the time of the year the main focus is on the family, friends and all that other crap, uh... I mean, all that means the most to us. Children will be disappointed by the lack of good presents they receive, parents will be spent physically and financially and getting ready for New Years, and of course prima donna athletes being showcased on the (for some) holiest of holidays. Yes, it's Shaq vs. Kobe I (where ABC is hoping for the worst and will hope to profit from it). But first watch and see if the Pistons and Pacers go into the stands once again and hurt those that pay their (ridiculous) salaries! What wholesome entertainment for the whole family! Like I said before, I have given up on the NBA. I haven't watched ONE game since the season started, which I still can't believe. With all athletes dressing like they're in a rap video, hair in corn rows, tattoos of God knows what, bad attitudes and rubbing all of their money in my face, it was time to take a stand. Who's standing with me?! Huh? Huh? Have there been any statistics on how the NBA has fared attendance wise since the Pacers/Pistons brawl? I haven't seen any. Is that something they don't want to share? Or what?! And what the hell is up Latrell Sprewell's pooper? $14 million doesn't feed a family anymore? What the hell do you feed your kids? Telling a female fan (whose money eventually goes into his pocket) to pleasure him in a particular way, while kids in the stands are watching him play a game. I haven't heard an apology from that issue yet, like those usually fake ones made up by the team spokesman. There was an article about him in the Star Tribune on Sunday that I didn't bother reading because I glanced at it and saw that he does what he wants and doesn't care what I think about it. I don't have much money, but what I do have I'm sure as hell not going to spend it on punks with no manners or respect. So suck on that Sprewell and all the of you like him! Eventually, nobody will be there to support your wealthy lifestyle.

The Jon Rises Again!

Sitting here at my new desk (it's 40 minutes old), I'm wondering what I'm going to do when the next semester starts. I took the fall semester off to take care of some family business and earn some money. Do I want to return to being a poor college student with average grades who constantly worries about money, or should I stay in the workforce for a while and enjoy getting paid every 2 weeks? What to do, what to do. A drastic decision like this requires a night on the town! Which, by the way, is possible a lot more often. I have 3 years of college experience under my tight belt, and have enjoyed every minute of it (except for being broke all of the time). I know I could try to do both, but they will both suffer. Hey! Napoleon Dynamite comes out today! So that's pretty much my evening. Maybe I'll get some guidance from that movie. Movies have always inspired me for some reason even though I know they're fake. I'm off to the city!

How U Doin'?

AND WE'RE BAAAAAAAACK!!! Well, I'm back I guess. How was your weekend? I see... let me tell you about my weekend. It started out with the usual bowling until about 9pm, then the drinking started and lasted until sometime the next day, you know, the usual weekend for me lately. Uh, oh. I'm being glared at in the office. I got's to work now. Be back later.

Mr. Friday Night is loose!

What's happnin' people? My name is Jon "Mr. Friday Night" R. from northern MN. I gave myself that name 'cause it sounds cool and I bowl on Friday nights. I read the newspapers and watch t.v. a lot so I consider myself knowledgable on most current events, but none more than entertainment and sports. I worship the Cubs! I watch a lot of t.v. and movies and have an opinion on those topics. So... on with the the verbal diarrhea (it's coming out whether you like it or not)!
Recently, I have boycotted the NBA season. Now, before you go and blame Ron Artest for my decision, this has been in the works since Allen Iverson has been in the league. Iverson started all of this in his rookie season when he faked Jordan out of his UNC practice shorts. Since then, A.I. has started his own look, has bad habits off court, and doesn't like practice and let the whole world know about it. Now we have uneducated high schoolers with no knowledge of basic fundementals of the game I once loved that have been put on a pedestal since they were in Jr. high trying to crossover or dunk on everyone in sight because someone took advantage of an aging icon. Then we had Kobe (No means no!) Bryant's rape drama, Artest succumbing to the full moon (I don't know if there was a full moon that night, but it would explain a lot) and now Kobe's wife accusing the greatest PF of our generation of hitting on her. The whole NBA seems like high school! Ridiculous! Atleast I have baseball. Wait! Steroids! Son of a b!%@#! Where is a child to find a hero? So, that lead me to believ I can be everybody's hero. I've never been one before. How hard could it be? Yeah, if I could only be like Enrique. I can be your (Anna K.) hero, bay-beh! Alright, man. I'm outta here!

check me out!!!!

Ah! A place to be heard. My name is Jon (clap, clap), I give good hugs (clap, clap), you're not my friend (clap, clap) if you're cheap with drugs! I would like to thank SNL for that one. This is my first post so I just want to see what happens. K? Too bad! later. jonny r
