- For tomorrow: Movie Star Blog

Did you ever wonder what movie you would star in? Well... you are about to find out.



COMING SOON!

Who can hate on KG? I'm interested to hear feedback from longtime Western Conference fans such as yourselves. Do you respect KG and look at him as a iconic NBA player?


I mean really, the guy plays hard day in and day out and he did it in Minnesota for most of his career under an absolutely terrible management and never outright complained once. It looks like he has a pretty good shot at the Finals this year, although no matter what team comes out of the West they will be tough...

This is a quote from KG responding to Glen Taylor (Timberwolves Management) after Taylor said he felt KG "tanked" it last year.....


"I'm in Boston right now," he said courtside. "I care less what Glen Taylor thinks of Kevin Garnett. Right now, huge win for us. That's nonsense. I don't even know why he would bring that up, but, you know, it shows the taste of some people."

He continued later: "Glen Taylor was good to me while I was a Timberwolf. I'm a Boston Celtic now. I'm not going to be going back and forth and saying tasteless things. That's not in my character. I'll let him speak if he wants to.

"I have nothing to do with the Minnesota Timberwolves. That's my past and I'm in a new chapter in my life. I thank him for the opportunity, for giving me, when I was younger, being able to not only explore my dream, but to make it to where I am today. And that's all I'm going to say about that."

Hello Fellas,

So I have purchased my tickets as follows:

May 23rd arrive in Austin 11:59pm
Leave Austin 11:00 am Monday May 26th

My goals for the trip in no particular order:

• To find a foozball table and while taking your money, show myself, to be a superior individual in the realm of hand eye coordination. I'll take any five dollar game on the river.
• To show myself to be athletically superior with strong Bruce Bowen-ish defense, a heart like big ben and a completion reminiscent of the professor.
• To not get sunburned.
• to make it to austin one night
• to watch UFC 84 saturday night. Faust is there directv at the house?
• To stay alive
• to not leave and have to reconcile who I believe I am as a person against what I did.

Adam has been kidnapped and raped. From the information available it seems he followed a young lady home in hopes of her worshiping the God of low morals and fell into a trap. A Predator was waiting for him. The Predator is apparently gay and sells cocaine for income. Adam has been forced into a male only sex ring somewhere in the western hemisphere. Any information leading to his whereabouts is appreciated. His friends miss him and want to see him and make fun of this unfortunate event to his face. There's a $9.50 reward.

Sir Charles

I went and saw Charles Barkley at a charity luncheon yesterday. I think he is the best analyst/personality in the NBA right now. Basbeall is a tie between the infallible Joe Morgan and the poetic Bob Costas; and football has to be Al Michaels.

Does anyone agree or disagree?

Sie Charles told stories of his childhood in Leeds, Alabama, black on black crime, and his best friend (MJ) having to pay out 175 million in his divorce. Chuck told Michael, "The money isn't the worst part, it was going to be when he went to visit his kids and some other brother was sitting in his chair smoking his cigars... especially if it turns out to be one of his boys, because every guy is looking for a woman with 175 million."

He also announced his canidacy for governor of Alabama in 2012.

The day has finally come...the one that Faust has dreaded for years. Brett Favre is retiring. It truly is a sad day for the NFL as he was one of, if not the last major icon from the NFL that we all loved and grew up with.

They call it Casita Guadalupe.. I call it Mecca.

After reading a Williams post in our BBall league, I wanted to remind you all of the greatest games ever playing in Fort Worth throughout the early 2000's...

Trail Lake.

Key Essentials to any game...

1. A Nine and a half foot goal
2. Graffiti Backboard
3. Wristbands, Headbands, high socks, or any other accessory that might make you appear good.
4. A 2-inch vertical.
5. Young Mexican spectators

Now... I never played with all of you, but I did with most and I'd like to remember all of the positive things about your game...

Brian "The Euro" Weiss- Pure shooter, I'm not sure his actual FG% was above 30%, but anything about 15% was in the top 3...
Brent "The Baron" Lubahn- Self professed "Sticky D." His D was pretty good. And there are no easy layups on the break. He will push you in the back. Noble.
Matt "MC9" Chambers- A real slasher. MC really can play. He just didn't care as much as the rest of us. Which is a good thing.
Michael "The Murano" Mazur- 6 fouls
Marc "Magic" Miller - Should have been a banger, but just wasn't his style. He preferred to get high and sub out. Does posses a nice finger roll.
Adam "The Kidnapper" Williams - Our perennial all star. AW can play. Shot blocking had to be his best asset. No negative comments. Weird.
Adam "Flagrant" Faust- Darrel Armstrong-like tenacity. Took pick up basketball intensity to new levels. Very ugly levels.

Had limited to no experience with Lee, Bear, and Brown. But I'd like to hear from you folks who know about them... Didn't Portillo almost beat Williams in a one on one game? Speaking of one on one... can we please hear about the Williams/Lubahn game? If you haven't heard it... it ends in a forfeit.

Rumor Mill: If allowed back in the NBA, the Mavs may sign... yes... The Birdman.

Yikes.

You are welcome.

Hey guys. That made me so happy to read. I was actually coming to the site to post the following letter and to encourage you to do the same. Take a look at it and please join in with me!

PS - Portillo Rules!

****************************************************************************

Dear NBA,

Please take note of the wonderful opportunity presenting the league right now. The competition in the west is stellar as never before. As a lifelong Spurs fan I cannot wait to see San Antonio go up against the new rosters of Los Angeles, Phoenix and Dallas. Then when you thrown in the up and coming Hornets, Warriors and everyone else, it looks to be a great western conference playoffs.

However the defacto JV league in the east continues to fall farther and farther behind. I feel one reason is that the competition is always so weak it begets itself. Please, reseed the playoff format. Get rid of the east/west conference seeding now, then reseed after every round and allow the system to at least have the chance of having the best series in the finals. For many years in a row this has not been the case, to the detriment of your product and bottom line. Honestly you have a great interest in fixing this obvious flaw in your product. Give the people what they want!

Looking forward to any response.

Lee Portillo

Via Text

Lee: Guess who asked to walk down the aisle with you at the wedding?

Faust: Who? (restrained elation)

Lee: Nobody you fat headed fuck!

Faust: Oh. (Hurt)

Lee: Do you need some aloe for that burn?

New Music for the New Year...

I know, I know, I think I am the music god. But I believe everyone (except Lubahn) appreciates good music. And I love it so much I want to share it with you, and what I think you may like. I will try to stay true to myself and only suggest bands with bizarre pseudo-cool names.


Vampire Weekend/Vampire Weekend
This is indie music. In case you were still curious what that is exactly. And a very easy way into that world...
Who will enjoy it: Dalrymple, Chambers, and Brown






Sunset Rubdown/Random Spirit Lover
This band is the same crew that brought us Wolf Parade, which is the brain child of Modest Mouse. If that wasnt enough their songs are titled,"Up On Your Leopard, Upon the End of Your Feral Days" and "Winged / Wicked Things" This is what they call art rock. It is hard to listen to at first. But if you can stick with it the payoff is immense.
Who will enjoy it: Weiss, Mazur and Miller


The National/Boxer- Best album of the year. This guys voice will stop you, grab you, and kiss you with a fist. F' brilliant lyrics as well.
Who will enjoy it: Portillo & Williams






I hope at least one of you gives it a try...

Berlin & Amsterdam

I thought I would share this with you in case you are bored at work... Oh, and I am back in the good ol' US of A. Yeehaw.

Conan VS Comedy Central

If you haven't seen the fued that has been going on between Conan, Colbert and most recently John Stewart it's pretty funny and finally came to blows this week.
