Well, I played a game of pickup basketball today after school, and I must say that I've never seen myself play so horribly. I was bricking open shots, making lazy passes, getting burned on defense. Damn. I really need to get back into shape, and by getting back into shape, I don't mean lifting, I mean running. I used to run track, but I've really slacked off recently. I'm so out of shape right now I feel like crap. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start running again, and maybe start working on my game a little too if I can ever get the motivation going. I made a promise to myself earlier in the year that I would start practicing basketball again over summer. I never lived up to that promise....

Are they on sale for 50 on champs and u applied the 30% discount?</div> My friends going to the Nike Factory in Upstate New York. It's an outlet btw and they sell stuff for really cheap prices. Wow, I havent played basketball in a while. I have a baseball craze for the first time in my life. Watching the mets everyday caught up to me. I'm pretty good for someone who hasn't played serious in years. I think im going to tryout for the varsity team. Either that or basketball. Track if I don't make either.
10 more days to go till I move in. ****, I stoked as hell. Just got my laptop and all that and tommorow I gotta go shopping for the rest of my ****. To any one who has contacts here; have any of you used Acuvue Oasys? My eye doc reccomended it for me, but I just wanna see if anyone has first hand experience with it. Epinions.com gave it a 4/5 stars so it seems good to go, but just checking anyway. It's good that I quit, because now I get to rest, but I miss work in the sense that it gave me a mandatory work out everyday. By the end of my shift after coming home, I'd feel refreshed and tired and would sleep earlier, but now that I'm not doin any work, I'm back to the way I used to be...which sucks. It'll probably get worse once Uni starts but we'll see. My roomate is a soccer player and he's plannin to play for the Uni team so he said he'll drag me to the gym and his runs and what not so I'll most likely end up going with him. I love playin soccer.

Man I remember when I used to be so damn ill in basketball in 9th grade. Now I'm a senior, and last season I probably couldn't have made JV. I miss those days............

Mostly because competition has gotten so much better going from broke ass middle school to private, jock filled HS where all the guys on the basketball teams have been going to $5,000 basketball camps since they were 9.

But these kids on the other hand play Summer League which I don't have time for because of work and traveling and play competitively. Also, I'm really skinny as hell lmao and I don't work out so if my coach were to look at me off the bat I probably wouldn't make the team. Why would you want a 6' 125lb SF when you can get a 6'2 175lb player on your roster?
I think The Outlawz are the worst rap posse of a legendary rapper, ever. ****, they've wrecked pretty much every 'Pac song they've been on. lol, on another note, a couple of days ago I was talkin to someone and they mentioned corn on the cob. Now, being a huge Rusell Peters fan, everytime someone mentions corn on the cob, this skit of his always comes to my mind, and I always start laughing or chuckling to myself. I'm not sure if there's a lot of Tamils (Sri Lankans) down there in the States, but there are a lot of em down here and he covers thier stereotype perfectly.

On the basketball thing, Brian is right if you havent played in a while you will be horrible on the floor. I try to play at least twice a week to keep my game in shape. Try to go back to the JV team. Im thinking of doing Track as well in the spring season. I dont want to do cross-country in the fall though, the coach works you like hell, because we are like the best team in our district. We have a guy who runs 3 miles in 16min, he is going to be a Junior this year. He is a beast.
I'm surprised at the amount of people here who dont actually play. I dont play for a team anymore, but I'm out in the yard practicing just about every day almost.
I play competitvely 3 nights a week, I coach once a week, train twice a week. I can't imagine NOT playing. It's crazy. Every time I sit here and post I wish I was playing!!!
My practises start this wednesday. I'm still the coach for a group of guys that are in my age, so I play too. It's great being a playing coach, because you can dictate much of how the defense/offense is run, and I'm a guy who has pretty high demands on myself and on others. Last season I tried to run the triangle, but only a few guys understood it. When it was clicking though, that was some of the best basketball I have ever seen and played. I think I've only played outdoors with others like 4-5 times this summer, which must be an all-time low. I haven't practised by myself much either. Went out a few days ago after over a month of absence, shot around a little. Then I tried shooting 100 threes, and I only made 32 of them

I play one day out side, then 5 hours later I go play indoors. I love playing, it makes everything go away. When I play ball, it is like nothing matters. It is my hobby, my fun, my everything. I just love the game.

I'm mostly just a track guy. Lately, I've really gotten lazy and I've basically quite exercising all together. I'm definetely going to start getting back into shape soon
Yeah basketball is sort of my 2nd sport. I actually like playing it the best though. As far as skills are concerned, baseball's my sport. I just hate playing baseball and that's why I don't try out for the Varsity team at my school. I'm lazy.

I reallllllly don't feel like going to work today. But..I'm off tomorrow so it isn't too bad. I actually hope it's kinda busy today so that it goes by quicker.
NO! I'm not much of a gamer but almost as soon as I got the new Madden I got the red lights of death of my 360. O_O
Man I gotta go to work today again. It's bad enough my manager is f'ing me over of my hours, but she schedules me to work on Friday's and Saturday's. Man Pizza Hut gets annoying especially when you run out of certain types of pizza dough.
How the hell should Canada even be within 7 points of us by the end of the first quarter? Deron Williams needs more minutes.
