"Tony Parker getting engaged to Eva Longoria: Parker owners must rejoice about this. You want your star players to have happy personal lives and as little turbulence off the court as possible. And since Parker hooked up with his Desperate Housewife, his scoring has gone up every year. It kind of makes you hope that Fabricio Oberto hooks up with Teri Hatcher."
this kid is hilarious:

so my dear friend alex posted this:
"I really have no reason why I like stuffing so much. I thought about it, and all I did was salivate at the idea of eating it. It's that dang GOOD. I think my favorite episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was the one where all the relatives get together for a Thanksgiving reunion and all the women-folk have a stuffing competition. That's like my dream: seven women cooking seven different types of stuffing for ME. Hahaha... "
i couldnt help but think of the seven women that he was talking about. can you guess them?

Yet I Will Praise
performed by Melissa Boraski
written by Andy Park
I will praise You, Lord my God
Even in my brokenness
I will praise You Lord
I will praise You, Lord my God
Even in my desperation
I will praise You Lord
And I can't understand
All that You allow
I just can't see the reason
But my life is in Your hands
And though I cannot see
I choose to trust You
Even when my heart is torn
I will praise (trust) You Lord
Even when I feel deserted
I will praise (trust) You Lord
Even in the darkest valley
I will praise (trust) You Lord
When my world is shattered
And it seems all hope is gone
Yet I will praise You Lord
I will trust You, Lord my God
Even in my loneliness
I will trust You Lord
I will trust You, Lord my God
Even when I cannot hear You
I will trust You Lord
And I will not forget
That You hung on a cross
Lord You bled and died for me
And if I have to suffer
I know that You've been there
And I know that You're here now

how do i always manage to procrastinate? i guess some things never change.
getting older, at the age where i frequently hear of engagements, divorces, babies being born, parents passing away. my prayers go out to all.
Kindness
Chris Tomlin
Open up the skies of mercy
And rain down the cleansing flood
Healing waters rise around us
Hear our cries Lord let 'em rise
Open up the skies of mercy
And rain down the cleansing flood
Healing waters rise around us
Hear our cries Lord let 'em rise
It's your kindness Lord
That leads us to repentance
Your favor lord, is our desire
It's your beauty Lord
That makes us stand in silence
Your love
Your love
Is better than life
We can feel
Your mercy falling
You are turnin our hearts back again
Hear our praises rise to heaven
Draw us near Lord
Meet us here
It's your kindness Lord
That leads us to repentance
Your favor lord, is our desire
It's your beauty Lord
That makes us stand in silence
Your love
Your love
It's your kindness Lord
That leads us to repentance
Your favor lord, is our desire
It's your beauty Lord
That makes us stand in silence
Your love
Your love
Is better than life
Is better than life
Open up the skies of mercy
And rain down the cleansing flood
Healing waters rise around us
Hear our cries lord let 'em rise
Lord,
We stand here as a desperate people
Hungry for the things of you
Come quiet the storms that rage all around us
So that we hear the passion that beats through your heart
Spirit put healing in our hands,
Put life in our words
And drive a passion for the lost deep in the hearts of your people
Inhabit the praises of us your children
And father send us out with a reckless passion
Deliver us from evil
And set a standard of unity to break down laws and to heal your people
Unity is the cry of your church, Lord
Reconcile the children to the fathers
And with forgiveness and mercy rush through the hearts of our land
We cry out our deep need for you Jesus
Oh God come in power
And bring glory to your name

i forgot to mention the bombardment of visitors in the past few weeks. p eug, baik, dlim, isabel, roy, andy, ester. a couple of highlights from the last group:
-roy explaining something to eshee and her response "is this gonna give me cancer?"
-ester explaining how coats/jackets are an investment and calling me and andy "shopping chumps"
-andy sharing his sauna experience
-jane telling roy & andy to pick up their balls, sack it up and stop acting like pansies
-roy whining to go back to my apt and watch youtube videos
i had former georgetown coach craig esherick as a guest speaker in class today. he was the 11th best damn sports blowups. i think he got #3 on espn's list: http://msn.foxsports.com/other/story/5721058

i would contemplate paying bill simmons to be my friend. hes THAT cool.
"Which brings me back to my original point: We're overthinking this whole fantasy football thing. It has evolved into a billion-dollar industry, a convoluted excuse to waste time and keep in touch with friends, one of those rare hobbies that balances competitiveness, male bonding and trash talking in the best ways possible. We kill ourselves trying to outsmart one another, and there isn't a single moment on Sundays and Mondays when we're not monitoring dozens of guys at once. But there are two hard-core realities that can't be ignored:
Reality A: There's either a 9-in-10 chance or an 11-in-12 chance that you're going to lose your league, depending how deep it is.
Reality B: Thanks to platoons, free-agent movement, injuries, unpredictable rookies, bad luck and everything else, fantasy football has turned into a freaking crapshoot.
Nowadays, anyone has a chance. Take my buddy Camp, the original commissioner of my East Coast League before he got married, had a couple of kids and stepped down. OK, we fired him for negligence. Now he's one of Those Guys in our league -- the guy who starts players during their bye weeks, waits four weeks to waive someone who's out for the year and offers crazy trades like "Wes Welker for Laurence Maroney." He's also one of the funniest owners (the master of inappropriate mom/sister jokes); he laughs at everyone else's jokes on the annual conference call; his team name is high comedy (a college joke I can't print), and his teams have the bizarre ability to remain annually competitive even though he's two to three guys short every week. The pluses always outweigh the minuses with Camper, even after you get bounced from the final playoff spot because he accidentally started a running back with a blown ACL against the guy who ended up beating you out."
"Random note No. 2: Colston being available at tight end in Yahoo/ESPN.com fantasy leagues might be the all-time fantasy glitch to end all fantasy glitches. It's like being able to use Travis Hafner at catcher. This has been the biggest story of the 2006 season that nobody covered -- they should have been leading "SportsCenter" with it."
"Disgruntled San Diego fan Dominic wonders, "Can you think of any analogies where the Martyball concept can be applied outside of football? What about folding a $500 pot when you're $5 from all-in because you're afraid someone will get you on the river? Working the machine for a walk in a batting cage? Five-hitting your way to a 19, then surrendering because the dealer is showing a face card? Landing a three-way with the Olsen twins, only to have them walk out because you fell asleep halfway through?"
always quote ;)

bill simmons, i wish i could be his friend:
Q: You know that friend everyone has in college who gets embarrassingly drunk every time you go out, then declares he'll never do it again ... and then does? USA Basketball is that drunk friend.
--Josh, Baton Rouge, La.
SG: Sorry, I'm not getting wound up about FIBA anymore. The rules are too different from the NBA's. It's like sending USA baseball players to a tournament with two-foot-high mounds, neck-to-ankles strike zones and outfield walls 500 feet from home plate. You can't expect a team of randomly assembled All-Stars to come together in three weeks and succeed in a format in which they're the only ones unfamiliar with the rules. It's stupid. Any kind of basketball that makes Jose Calderon more valuable than LeBron James or Dwyane Wade is, by any calculation, idiotic. We should send the AND1 All-Stars to the 2008 Olympics in protest.
Q: When are we going to see the Little League World Series of Poker?
--David P., Philadelphia
SG: You, sir, are a genius. I would watch this every night. The unparalleled tension of the spelling bee crossed with the unabashed exploitation of the Little League World Series. I'm making this my signature series when they put me in charge of ESPN6.
3. Cincinnati, 3-0Now here's an intriguing team. They can run the ball, throw the ball, stop the run, create turnovers and make plays on special teams. They're a five-tool team. So what can't they do? Other than stay out of trouble? Anyway, if the Patriots don't have what it takes this winter for a fourth Super Bowl appearance, I'm pulling hard for Cincy to make it to Miami. And why? Because the Bengals would be out in Miami for two weeks!!!! Hide the women, hide the children, hide the Maxim models ... here come the Bengals! That would be the single greatest week in ESPN history. ESPN should station Ed Werder and Shelley Smith 24/7 outside the Miami Dade County courthouse right now just to be safe. Seriously, what would feature more arrests, Super Bowl week with the Bengals or Season 1 of "Miami Vice?" I'm 18 levels beyond giddy about this.

wow, havent updated in over a month. had lots of busy weekends: san diego trip, 2 vegas trips, and bass lake trip over the last 6 weeks. got to do lots of cool things: go to the fair and eat crazy food, played in a wsop event, partied w/ mark before he tied the knot, chilled on the lake w/ buddies that i havent seen in a while, had a blast jetskiing. ive racked up a lot of mileage in the last 6 weeks. im exhausted.
PRAYER
missed a lot of church cuz of busy weekends. need to make time for worship. hope my spiritual life hasnt taken a hit. its always hard for me to evaluate my own spirtual walk. need to get ready for the big apple.
THANKS
for all the things ive experienced this summer. thanks for sharing this weekend w/ me fellas.
Tuesday, June 27, 2006
almost popped my other shoulder playing ball yesterday. def need to start working out.
bhwangs indonesia preparation. diligence and motivation from the Spirit.
my dads assistant/brothers coworker got shot over the weekend. such a crazy incident, so sad and shocking that someone i know was hurt that way. praying for her recovery.

this period of graduations has reminded me of my own graduation. not the actual ceremony but the whole process of what it takes to receive a bachelors degree. and again i ask myself the same question "how the heck did i graduate?" at times i put in the absolute minimum amount of time and effort required. that part makes sense. but at other times i definitely did far less than the absolute minimum and got away with it somehow (except in soc 127c). danny yoon is witness to one example: anthro 98, the online gaming decal. i literally tried to fail that class but i still passed. wtf?
i dunno what i wouldve done w/out the internet. ive mastered the art of using quotes. i look back at some of the papers on my computer and think "what a work of art" because 95% of it werent my ideas but it still wasnt plagarism. but when i look at some of the other papers i think "omg, what merciful readers" because they mustve passed me on sheer pity. my papers were the kind that you had to share w/ other ppl when reading cuz you couldnt believe how ridiculous they were.
not only that but my transcript is so ugly. but somehow they still awarded me with a bachelor of arts degree from the university of california berkeley. that itself is worth $50/hr in private tutoring. i dont think many ppl realize the miraculousness of it all cept for my old roommates.
all of this always leads me to the next question "how am i going BACK to SCHOOL?"....wth am i doing? the scary thing is that im not just writing that, im REALLY thinking that. how the heck did i trick a grad school into thinking that they should admit me into their program?
too late and too tired to think about this. remember the default answer: all by the grace of God.

rafting on the kern river was fun. rafting on the kern river for free is even better. im glad i have some cool coworkers. really, really tired right now. but its the good "ive been doing lots of fun things and im being productive" tired, not the bad "ive been sitting on my butt all day doing nothing and wasted the whole day" tired.

God mustve hooked me up.

This Day By Jadon Lavik
This day two lives become one
This day a new journey has begun
Our hearts full of lasting love
Brought together by the hand above
To share a life that draws us closer
To the one that we live for
And I will give you my heart
And all of who I am
And I will give more than vows
And words could ever say
Yes I’ll give you my all on this day
On this day
On the cross his love was shown
And this love will build our home
Standing now in front of you
We profess a love we know is true
To share a life that draws us closer
To the one that we live for
And I will give you my heart
And all of who I am
And I will give more than vows
And words could ever say
Yes I’ll give you my all on this day
And I’ll give you my all on this day
On this day, on this day

Let It Go by Jadon Lavik
Sometimes I wonder what’s holding me back
From running this race at a steady pace
I start out fast go clinging to my past
And suddenly I’m sitting in last
Here and now is where I want to be
Not hangin’ on some worn out memory
And I know the best thing for my low
Sometimes you just gotta, you gotta let it go
Stand up please and change the channel on my mind
Another scene any other scene would suit me just fine
Rehearsing, rehashing, reenacting all the time
I keep returning to the scene of the crime, yeah
Here and now is where I want to be
Not hangin’ on some worn out memory
And I know the best thing for my low
Sometimes you just gotta, you gotta let it go
Here and now is where I want to be
Here and now is where I want to be
Not hangin’ on to worn out memories
Here and now is where I want to be

"What If" by Jadon Lavik
What if I climbed that mountain, what if I swam to that shore
What if every battle was victorious then would you love me more
Would you love me more
What if I were everyone’s first choice, what if I went farther than before
What if I stood high above the rest then would you love me more
Would you love me more
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I’m in awe of why you do
Why you do, why you do, I’m in awe of you, ooh
What if I ignored the hand that fed me, what if I forgot to confess
What if I stumbled down that mountain then would you love me less
Lord would you love me less
What if I were everyones last choice what if I mixed in with the rest
What if I failed what I passed before then would you love me less
Lord would you would you love me less, oh no oh no oh no
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I’m in awe of why you do
You do you do you do
What have I done to deserve your son sent to die for me
What can I give I want to live give me eyes to see
In a world that keeps changing there’s one thing that I know is true
Your love is staying there’s nothing else I’ll hold onto
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I’m in awe of why you do
Why you do
You say I belong to you apart from the things I do
You say I belong to you I’m in awe of why you do
I’m in awe of you I’m in awe of you
The way you love me, the way you do
The way you do, the way you love me, you love me, you love me
The way you do the way you do, the way you love me,
The way you love you love you love

"I’m not naïve enough (anymore) to tell you that Kwame is going to have some value, but there’s a chance he could. That reminds me of the line from Dumb and Dumber when Lloyd says “So what you’re saying is…I still have a chance” after Lauren Holly’s character put the odds of sleeping with him around one in a million."
i think spiketv is my new favorite channel. they have all these great shows like macgyver, ultimate fighting championship stuff, & pros v.s. joes. not to mention their random manly movies like american ninja and ones including chuck norris. and i cannot forget one of my all-time favorite favorite shows MXC: most xtreme challenge. DON'T GET ELIMINATED!

Mark: and she's available
Mark: u have to smell blood
Mark: and attack
Mark: full court press... as dbang likes to put it
vday movie recommendation "playing by heart": lots of big names, good acting, clever story, much better than "love actually" in my opinion.

been watching a lot of documentaries lately:
march of the penguins - theyre straight up gangsters.
bowling for columbine - marilyn manson sounds pretty smart, charlton heston shouldve pulled a gat on michael moore.
spellbound - these kids are such losers. but theyre friggin smart.
word wars - these adults are such losers. word whores.
must pay some homage to some older classics. top 25 of all-time for sure:
the karate kid - "put him in a body bag!"
bloodsport - "very good, but brick, not hit back."
best of the best - "what are you countin em for?"
big trouble in little china - "pray your card right....you lib to talk about it."

If Sam can do a job in 4 days that Lisa can do in 6 days and Tom can do in 2 days,
how long would the job take if Sam, Lisa, and Tom worked together to complete it?
so i asked john and alex how to solve. john emailed me an excel spreadsheet showing how to do it. alex sent me this link: http://www.algebralab.org/Word/Word.aspx?file=Algebra_WorkingTogether.xml
