Two for 2

What is the good lord going to bless me with tomorrow?  Look who just checked in:

It’s Keon…

I am on a roll (2 for 2) with these former Mizzou basketball players.  I really want to find Duane John.  That would be the best thing that has ever happened to me.  Pathetic?  Not a chance.  Keon just accepted my friendship request, again 3 months later, but with a little patience, the blessings are sure to come.  Too bad I don’t have any patience.  I have been swearing their names for the past 2 and a half months. We’re cool now though.  Not much to say about Lawrence.  He realized our program is terrible and decided to get out.  He is now at Seton Hall, and a lot closer to home.  I think he is going to fit well with the Big East’s style of play.  (I will be paying attention for sure)

Of course, I must provide you with a little insight on our boy Mr. Keon Lawrence.  (I’m seeing somewhat of a theme here)  A few of his fave shows are Martin and The Wayans Brothers.  Seriously, how dumb does someone have to be to consider the Wayans Bros. a favorite of theirs?  Now, Martin, I can roll with.  I would not say that it is one of my favorites, but I tune in, frequently.  And in his [Keon] words…”I keep it real but everybody ain’t built for it lol.”  Who or what is “lol”?

He’s got a bit of an attitude also.  He might want to check that.  This is what his current status is on TheBook: WARNING: EXPLICIT MATERIAL

“COMIN SOON AND I AINT FUCKIN AROUND THIS ROUND TRIP REAL TALK I GOT SHIT TO CATCH UP ON TO SO GET READY MIZZOU!!!!!!!!!!”

…Hey I’m just a fan.  I think there is some beef between Lawrence and M-I-Z, Z-O-U fans because of his departure.  But you can’t blame the kid.  I have his back on this one.  But he needs to clean it up a bit.  I wonder if we can get someone to interpret that quote…

“Basketball and books”

Today was a very good day…

I haven’t found a job yet, but I am working on it…as hard as I possibly can.  Maybe I’ll never find a job.  Definitely shaping up to look that way.

Anywho, today was a good day becauuuuuuusssseee, my boy Stefhon (spelled correctly…I guess) Hannah finally accepted my FaceBook friend request.* Stefhon got kicked off of the University of Missouri Men’s Hoops Squad earlier this year, for being from the South side of Chicago.  (When I lived in Chicago, I met a guy who played highschool hoops (Hyde Park) with Hannah.  This guy was a gem.  I craigslisted my way into some horrible experience out in the Suburbs of Chicago.  It involved me following Hannah’s boy around, as he tried to convince these scared, racist, old farts into buying something they didn’t want.  But that is a different post for a different day)

Hannah’s profile is, of course, hysterical.  His favorite movies: “All the Friday’s, anything funny [and] or dealing with Basketball”. How many Friday movies were there?  My guess would be, one too many.  And his favorite television shows include, but are not limited to, the following: “The Cosby Show, Martin (no complaints so far), Fresh Priest ( it’s Prince, Stephon-don’t like it do you?), [and] tha Wayans Brothas..”  Can you guess what he had listed as his activities?  I will let you, the reader, figure that one out.

That is a pretty great pic of Hannah.  He was really exciting to watch.  I would like to say that that was the case because our fans hadn’t seen a respectable guard since Wesley Stokes and Clarence “I’m gon’ shoot it” Gilbert, but to make a statement like that would be ignorant. Hannah was actually entertaining.  His first year with the Tigers was much more productive than his second.  His success (if we can even call it that) got to his head, and he spent most of his second year in “da club”.  These athletes have a problem staying out of “da club”.  These “da club” experiences always manifest into inappropriate acts of “makin’ it rain”, which then leads to fights, random gunfire, suspensions, and dismissals.  Stefhon and company thought they were invincible one night and an entire bar showed them otherwise.  Da club’s patrons rearranged Stefh’s jaw and, in the end, his life.  A lesson that has still not been learned.  Stay away from “da clubs” you idiots.

Hannah is currently “takin it to da hoop” in Greece.  I know they have plenty of “da club” s in Greece.  It’s time to stop trying to “make it rain” not on the basketball court.  Words of wisdom, Stefhon…”you ain’t in KoMo no mo”.

I Depreciate You

I remember this moment like it happened 4 weeks ago…

This is what depression really looks like.
