Happy-Happy March-March (and some other thoughts)

I realized I hadn't posted in over a week and was feeling a bit guilty so here I am. I've been caught somewhere in between busy and not as of late. To update, March is the month of my birth which is a good thing because, you know, I'll get stuff... Other than that, it's also about a week until spring break.

I'm excited because, as usual, I'm heading down to Myrtle Beach to visit my boy Vic. It's always an awesome rowdy time and typically concludes with a massive hangover and a confusing disoriented adventure in a major metropolitan airport. Money is a little tight, so I think I'm going to tell Vic that strip clubs are off limits pour moi. The goal is always to dedicate about 80-percent of my travel budget towards items consumable by straw.

In other news--and it's absolutely necessary this is mentioned--I think I've found a new favorite movie. Thursday night Mal, Patty, and I went to see Pan's Labyrinth; this may very well be the best movie ever made. I was considering posting a review on here but don't want to risk ruining it for anyone. I could not however "over hype" this movie; it's simply too good to be "over hyped." Do yourself a favor. If the movie is playing somewhere near you, go see it. It is in Spanish and has subtitles, but the plot is so incredible that you'll feel as though you understand everything the characters say within fifteen minutes or so.

For anyone that doesn't know, Shamrock won "The White Rapper Show." I was initially happy, but on closer examination, John Brown was in fact better--even thought that's not his real name. I figure Shamrock isn't a birth name either, so we'll have to allow it. Whatever, I'm sure I won't be purchasing either's album any time soon.

The K'nicks lost Jamal Crawford for the season. Fortunately, according to Isiah, he'll be back by the second round. This is a major blow to our playoff chances, but there is hope as another Knick's guard is poised to re-earn the nickname "Stevie Franchise." Maybe he and "Starbury" can play together after all. Numbers 1 and 3, respectively, combined for 64 points, 12 dimes, 11 boards, and 8 steals on Saturday versus Atlanta (okay, I know it's the Hawks but still). The most impressive stat: they also combined for only three turnovers. Also deserving of a shout out--NALDO!!! There's hope in Knickland.

Methinks tis it for now. Please don't use this blog for evil...
