HAMBURGEVONS

i have a new hobby!

naivety at its finest!

i notice that people are still friendly in the middle of the night when i'm walking home. if i see a shadow creep up on me and i'm right by an abandoned warehouse, i usually have the tendency to speed up and reach for my nunchucks. but i learned that it's courtesy to turn around to check yourself and that if you're the shadow, you have to smile and wave to prove that you aren't a threat. it's also common courtesy to smile and wave at a distance if you're walking towards someone. it's a mutual "i don't want to die tonight" gesture.

now that i've mentioned this, i feel that some jerk is going to dress up in a ski mask, wave at me to prove their innocence, and then steal my kidney. and my nunchucks.

horrific things that i think everyone should go through:
getting a parking ticket
buying something that goes on sale next week
filing your own taxes
cleaning up vomit in a car
snowboarding for the first time
a bad haircut
arriving to a midterm thinking that the midterm is tomorrow
forgetting the name of an acquaintance you've known for months
lying about your age
computer hard drive crashing
this list could get really depressing really fast. and really humbling really fast.

the coolest thing i did today was throw allyoops to my coworker. it's the highest form of team building exercises.

i would kill for the atlantic but i am ____

i think my life changes every six hours.
i am the worst person to ask, "what do you want to do in five years?"

the problem with panic

mic: its always much better in the end
mic: when u have to persevere
mic: and go through things
mic: and then u can experience, and see the results
mic: instead of just a train wreck all the time, and picking up the pieces from there

i have no sense of time and space.

if only sports were like real life.

On Saturday night (3/15), the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat will replay the final 51.9 seconds of their Dec. 19 overtime game.

The Hawks believed they won that game 117-111, but commissioner David Stern overturned the result because Atlanta's stat crew incorrectly disqualified Miami's Shaquille O'Neal after his fifth foul (you foul out after six).

Miami will have the ball when the game resumes, trailing 114-111. After the replay is completed, the teams will get a 15-minute break, then return to the court for their regularly scheduled contest at Philips Arena.

This is really cool because if the Heat win, it will be a good story on justice and redemption. Life is not always fair and it won't wait for you to pick yourself up, but for the Heat.. the world will rewind itself and let them rewrite some history.

If you could relive 51.9 seconds of any point in your life, what point in time would you pick? And no, you do not get Mike Bibby or Shawn Marion to help you out.

I guess if you do have an answer to that, my question is if that point in time is holding you back from being your best?

And if you can even answer that, then how the heck do you live with regret?
