"I quit being a virgin the first time I had sex." - King of the Hill

I don't get on here a whole lot, but I've been busy with life.  Whenever I'm not working I'm hanging out with friends or with Amy, so I'm not around the computer a lot.

Gonna go with Travis and Tyler to see Get Smart before we all go into work.  I wish I could get more people together, but a lot of people are working.

Nineteen-year-old Kevin Durant will become the first Sonics player to win rookie of the year honors in the NBA. His points per game were third best among rookies in the past 10 years.

Durant averaged 20.3 points per game in 2007-08 -- the highest scoring average for a rookie since Carmelo Anthony averaged 21 points per game and LeBron James averaged 20.9 ppg in 2003-04. Only three of the past 10 rookies of the year -- Durant, James and Elton Brand -- have averaged at least 20 points in their first season.

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard is an idiot. Really. The guy goes on the radio and mouths off about how he loves smoking marijuana. Why the hell would he do that? It's illegal, and he could get in big trouble with the league. Doesn't he remember what happened in the NFL with Ricky Williams? He was suspended for a whole year.

"Most of the players in the league use marijuana and I have and do partake in smoking weed in the offseason sometimes," Howard told "The Michael Irvin Show" on the local ESPN affiliate. "I mean, that's my personal choice and my personal opinion, but I don't think that's stopping me from doing my job."

Rapper Juvenile's 4-year-old daughter was shot and killed.  Normally I would feel sorry for Juvenile, but he had a history of not paying his child support payments and he even contested paternity.  Didn't seem real invested in fatherhood.  Still, you know he's gonna use this for material.

I can't believe the Los Angeles Lakers are actually ok with this.

Despite suffering a torn tendon and broken bone in his pinkie, Kobe Bryant will play in Sunday night's NBA All-Star Game, according to a Lakers spokesperson.

Bryant suffered the injury -- initially described as a dislocated pinkie -- on Feb. 5 against New Jersey. The Lakers disclosed Thursday that the damage was more extensive than first thought. The injury included a torn radial collateral ligament and an avulsion fracture in the pinkie.

I normally go to more concerts, but I've really been slacking in that department lately.  Time for a change!  Sum 41 on September 28th!  It's gonna be awesome!

I'm watching a performance of Eminem singing "The Way I Am" and then all of the sudden Marilyn Manson comes out on stage and starts singing along.  Omg!  The man couldn't look more out of place if he was having Sunday dinner with my grandma.  Marilyn, rap does not suit you.

Ok kiddies, today's lesson is:  don't steal.

Six Texas teenagers were driving around in a stolen car when the driver crashed into a train.  Four of the kids died, and the other two were airlifted to the hospital.

Crime don't pay.

I know it's been the subject of a lot of controversy, but I just don't think Bruce Bowen kneed Steve Nash in the nuts intentionally.  Judge for yourself.

According to an upcoming paper by a University of Pennsylvania professor and a Cornell graduate student, white referees called fouls against black players at a higher rate than they did against white players.

Their study also found that black officials called fouls on white players more frequently than they did against blacks, but the disparity wasn't as great.

"We obviously discuss officiating and our feelings toward it," said Utah Jazz guard Derek Fisher, president of the NBA players' association. "But I don't ever recall it being a racially motivated type of conversation where we felt like there were certain guys that had it out for me or him or whoever just because of the color of our skin.

"I don't know that I've ever really felt that there was a racial component to officiating."
