i was watching the '92 nba all-star game this afternoon. what a game, thats what an all-star game should look like. it had tons of exciting plays from great players. if the all-star game was like that every year id watch it for sure. magic ended it on such a great note to win the mvp and paved the way for hiv/aids awareness worldwide. amazing cast of all-stars: jordan, pippen, barkely, ewing, robinson, olajuwon, malone, stockton, magic, drexler, mullin....pretty much it was the '92 dream team, pretty much all hall of famers and that doesnt includ isaiah, dumars, and rodman. laettner is one lucky foo to be part of that team.

some of my buddies and i used to try to think of ideas throughout college. we would think of get rich quick schemes or new inventions or just starting up a business that we think would do well. last night i discovered my first legit idea. during class i had an epiphany, the one idea that would make us all rich was born. this was one of those revolutionary ideas, one that could change the whole world. i thought it was possible that i would remember february 5th, 2007 as the day that changed my life. unfortunately it isnt.
so my idea is to create a cell phone service provider that provides either free or very cheap cell phone service. you would only need to buy the phone and the service is free/cheap. most ppl pay like $40/month for service if not more. so either free or like $5/month service would be an absolute steal. the only catch is that there would be advertising on the phone. now youre probably thinking what kind of advertising and how much but thats not the right question. the specifics of that advertising could be figured out later, especially since the u.s. is lagging in cell phone technology compared to other countries. a bigger question is how much does it cost to provide the cell phone service. i think its relatively cheap but i really have no idea. essentially i would be turning the cell phone into the television. buy the tv, free service paid for by advertising. thats the idea in a nutshell. so would ppl switch? if the answer is yes then there would be a cell phone revolution. there would be an advertising revolution. no one cares bout tv anymore esp w/ tivo/dvr, everyone just skips the commercials except on superbowl sunday. advertising on cell phones is an untapped market just waiting to explode. and I realized this. I had figured out the idea.
when i ran the idea by andy he broke the news to me that google had already beat me to the idea:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15700344/
thats when i felt like i was in the movie rounders and teddy kgb was rubbing it in, "it hurts doesnt it....you cant BELIEVE what happened. all your dreams, (bloop) hops down the ****ing drain. " anyway, i knew even if the idea was a good one it would require ridiculous amounts of startup capital which i dont have. so thanks google for making me not waste my time.
dang, why couldnt i think of this 2 years earlier. i wouldnt mind getting bought by google.

pretty much the only stuff i watch on tv is basketball, sportscenter, entourage, and high stakes poker. but i was over at chi's place the other night and he was watching some trashy show on mtv called "the hills." think its short for beverly hills. im glad that i caught half of that episode cuz
1. it reinforced my feelings that its a trashy show
2. brody is ridiculous and i wouldnt have understood the extent of his ridiculousness in bill simmons article:
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/070201
"...let's hand it over to the great Brody Jenner, who's making a noble attempt on "The Hills" right now to break the reality-TV record for "most cheesy compliments ever given to a girl while trying to get into her pants." Two things you need to know about Brody: (A) He's Bruce Jenner's son, and (B) he's already been on two reality shows. Now he's pursuing the star of "The Hills" -- America's sweetheart, LC -- who's far too stupid to realize that Brody called her only because he knew the cameras had just started rolling for Season 2. You would think she'd catch on because Jason (last season's nose-itching boyfriend) pulled the same move on her and she was too dumb to see that one, either. She's easy prey for a player like Brody, who's been laying lines on her like "you have the most beautiful eyes I have EVER seen."... in this week's episode, Brody finally lured LC back to his apartment and gave her his greatest line yet: "There's nowhere I'd rather be than right here with you." I don't feel that strongly about South Beach, but give me a few more days. We might get there."
makes me curious about south beach. thanks chi, im glad we watched that episode. i think i want bill simmons' job. all he does is watch sports and tv shows all day and writes funny articles once in a while, what a sweet job.

too many scams these days....
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT AREA CODE
Do Not DIAL AREA CODE 809 , 284 AND 876
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO US BY AT&T.
DON'T EVER DIAL AREA CODE 809
This one is being distributed all over the US . This is pretty scary,
especially given the way they try to get you to call.
They get you to call by telling you that it is information about a family
member who has been ill or to tell you someone has been arrested, died, or to
let you know you have won a wonderful prize, etc.
In each case, you are told to call the 809 number right away. Since there are
so many new area codes these days, people unknowingly return these calls.
If you call from the U.S. , you will apparently be charged $2425 per-minute.
Or, you'll get a long recorded message. The point is, they will try to keep you
on the phone as long as possible to increase the charges. Unfortunately, when
you get your phone bill, you'll often be charged more than $24,100.00.
WHY IT WORKS:
The 809 area code is located in the British Virgin Islands (The Bahamas).
The charges afterwards can become a real nightmare. That's because you did
actually make the call. If you complain, both your local phone company and your
long distance carrier will not want to get involved and will most likely tell
you that they are simply providing the billing for the foreign company. You'll
end up dealing with a foreign company that argues they have done nothing wrong.

"men aren't men without an internet connection." -ACK
hahaha....i dunno if i quite agree with that....
i was watching a high school basketball game on espn. they were interviewing the star player on one of the high school after winning. he was struggling to answer some simple questions but the last one was the best:
"did you guys make some sort of statement here by beating the #1 team in the nation?"
derrick rose responded with, "naw...."
some athletes are just stupid.

"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."

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?
