Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I made a kid cry, and maybe injured a kid in proxy playing basketball today. I went straight from my mock trial practice to the rec, since it was getting late and I didn't have time to get back to my dorm. So I had my Obama shirt on still, because we were reminding people to vote today. This one kid made a three pointer (I wasn't even guarding him) and yelled out, "That's what I think of Obama". Next play down, he is driving in for the layup and he is injured and can't play no more. I didn't see how he got injured, but it's possible one of the black guys on our team stuck his foot under the kid. Then the other kid, I was defending, and posting up, and he didn't appreciate the physical play, and was crying, "I'm going to hit you in the face if you stick an elbow in my chest again"...and then I just kept on playing physical haha. It's like come on kid, if you tell me something like that, you're giving me an indication that I'm doing something right.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Your lucky I wasn't playing with you, I would have socked you in the face. People who throw elbows deserve it. I like to play physical myself too, and playing basketball is one of the only things that can piss me off so much that I want to start a fight.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I only throw a few elbows when I have a hack guarding me. After a few plays, he deserves it.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I wasn't throwing an elbow. I was sticking an elbow in his chest while posting up.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Still, I find that somewhat dirty. I wouldn't have hesitated in talking shit and giving you a good shove or punch. I like to play dirty myself, but I won't take it when others try it on me.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) The more advanced verb conjugation in Russian is pretty crazy. Stress shifts and consonant mutation? Who came up with the idea of consonant mutation? This is not going to be a fun week. Russian test on Friday and Economics midterm on Friday. I've got the cost of productions, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition, Finance, and unemployment stuff down pretty pat. Having some difficulty with the macroeconomic stuff of nation's income, cost of living, production and growth...and solid on the financial system. If I get an A on this midterm, I will be in a solid position for a 4.0 this semester, since I have the A in Political Science and Russian on good lockdown, and already done with my journalism course for the semester.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Macroeconomics is so much easier than micro. Both of them are pretty easy though. I used to fall asleep in macro and still be able to answer my gf's questions after class
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I find the micro stuff way easier than the macro stuff. But then again, I actually paid attention during class during most of the microstuff, while the macroeconomic chapters coincided with the start of the NBA season, so I've been watching the archived NBA games on League Pass during class. Once I read the chapters I think I should get it down pretty well.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Man, BG7 sounds like your rec league is fun. Our league at CSUF doesn't start til much later. Like around January... But my high school league is starting up so I am holding my first practice this Wednesday. Last year we had a team who could not do anything. We lost our first 6 games, and one of my players got into a fight with my assistant coach. Then one of our games they actually listened to me (Which I guess is hard when I'm their age), and we won by like 15, which is impressive for a team who can't consistently make a layup and forget shooting. On the playoff qualifier, we went 3 and 0 and made the playoffs. Lost our first game in the playoffs to the team who would win the whole tourney by 1 on a bogus end of the game 4pt play with my player with his hands straight up and the other dude fading away. Who calls that shit? But I'm excited to coach again. And bring new guys to a higher level and teach them basketball.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Also, I have been falling in and out of sleep all night, so this is one of those out of sleep moments.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Since I'm stuck on random thoughts...here's another. I lived about 8yrs of my life in Chino and Chino Hills, California. Which is the longest I've ever lived in one city/area. So here is a good trivia question. What song mentions Chino in it? Answer is below. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zCTk3-xnA1w&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zCTk3-xnA1w&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) yeh macro is easier as it just general economics. I've just finished Transport economics and now on to Development economics. I have Economics in 2 and a bit hours
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I just fell asleep on the living room floor last night, for some reason. Surprisingly comfortable.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Fuck that, I'm not allowed in a couple of leagues around the city because I've gained a bit of a rep. Like Ric Flair, I'm the dirtiest bird around and don't mind one bit. But yes, if you dish it, you gotta be able to take it. Anyone who goes from dirty play to punching is a moron. I'm gonna hit you harder then you hit me, so don't, if you like your pretty nose all straight like that. I still hold the record for most foul outs, techs and suspension in a single season, game and career with my HS team and I think most of region. started every game though and made an all star team one year. come to think of it, Ron Artest really got a bad rap.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) I got to the top journalism school in the world...and economics is required for all journalism students because it's apparently really important that journalism students understand this.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Same with Andres Nocioni, he has a bad rap now too. Normal, hard fouls by him are constantly being called flagrants.
Re: Random Thought Thread (NSFW) Same with Bruce Bowen. Flying karate kicks are now being called flagrants!
