Dubs in Beijing

I know, in the words of my disrespectful roommate, Brent, "Ben, it's only PRE-SEASON."

Anywho, this was still an amazing game...

Deep Thoughts with Jack Bendy

Life sucks sometimes. Then it's okay for awhile...then it sucks again. Man. Pooooop on that!

...right? I mean, c'mon, life! Step it up...sheesh.


This is a cool pic I Googlated. Cheered me up for half a sec...then I found THIS one...



MADE THIS ONE...suckas....

I feel sorta sick today.

What should I do with my life?

I've been freaking out. LA Recording School? Finish my College Counseling M.S. program? Musicians Institute of LA? Move to Africa/Haiti/China and do ministry fulltime?

Who knows!?!?...no seriously...who knows??? Do you? Because if somebody who is reading this (Jason, Jorge, CoRri...love you three), and you any of you KNOW for certain (or have a clue) about what I should be doing with my life (academically, vocationally, spiritually, emotionally, ministerially, relationshipially???), please, seriously, please fill me in. I'm rather disconsorked over the whole thing.

Disconsorked:

Yup. That's me...less feminine, all except the eyeshadow at least...and maybe the earrings, but I don't wear lipstick too much these days.

Suffice to say, I'm rather confused on life. I know I like playing music, recording music, producing music, editing music, hanging out with friends, playing GTA4 and NBA 2k9, writing (sometimes)...and...other things that don't really pay, well, anything really.

I think I'm coming to the realization that I'm not going to live a glamorous, high-paying lifestyle. I've kinda known that for awhile, but I s'pose barely being able to pay bills the past few months, it's really hit home. At least I'm not the Pottyville Poopsquads (Brent...sucka...).

It's for certain it's tough times when your one true joy and happiness in life is being at the top of you Fantasy Football league...ok, it's not my ONE and only true joy and happiness..., but it's still pretty high on a rather short list.

I got really depressed last year about this time, but that was sparked by a girl...two girls, really. I guess this year's Autumn depression can be mostly attributed to a slight life crisis though.

Besides all that fun stuff though, I think I've voting for Barack Obama. I through out all my ideologies after hearing several Sarah Pail interviews...b/c hey, she could verywell be our next President. Scary.

Plus, how could you say "no" to a cute little fact like this...


And besides, if you throw out all political affiliations, and let's say McCain, Palin, Biden AND Barack would all be horrible choices for President, it'd just be pretty dang sweet to have a (half...) Black President. Tiiiight.

Not to mention, he's obviously a fan of the Fonz...


'Nuff said.

Just think about it...Dick, Jimmy, Ronald, George, Bill, George again, then Barack!? What??? Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama!?!? That's insane!!! Who would do such a thing?!?!

America, that's who.

Boo. Yah.

I think that's all I have now. Mmkay, now I bed go my sleep to in will. Night.

Sleep well, little B-Rock..dream big, little guy. Dream big.

Prepare For Glory!!!

I know, it's been awhile. I had a long weekend okay? Anywho, check out this stellar video that just popped up on YouTube. Props to DarkStage for that megagoodness right there.

Aw yeah, for those of you who missed the APU/Cal Baptist Basketball game (our senior night), check out this article on the amazing game. Honestly, one of the top 3 finishes to a basketball I've ever seen. Period.


Can you spell MVP? Here at APU, we spell it D-A-V-O-N.

Other than that, we play Biola (in La Mirada...I know...) Monday night. It's always interesting...

Straight from TrueHoop...

Gwen Knapp of the San Francisco Chronicle: "By now, it is a cliche to point out that Stephen Jackson controls the Warriors' pulse, their emotional core, even more so than Baron Davis. Nobody saw that coming when he arrived here 13 months ago, at least not the people who knew Jackson's reputation better than they knew him. Now the question is: Can someone with such transcendent leadership skills someday do great things off the court, too? Neda Barrie, the team's vice president of business development, wasn't expecting much when he was traded from Indiana. She had seen the video of him fighting Detroit fans in the stands, and she knew about the charges of gunfire in a strip-club parking lot. Then she spoke with counterpart from the Pacers, who told her: You're going to love him. He'll be your community-relations go-to guy. ... Every member of the club is supposed to do a certain amount of public service. Jackson doesn't quit at the minimum, she said, 'and he's never shy about dipping into his own pocket.'" Read More

My First Post

Well, today was another lazy day at school. I know. It's my last semester at an extraordinarily expensive higher education institution, and you've got a point. But hey, I've been learning, a lot in fact. I just don't have a very hard schedule. So yeah, I'm taking it a little easier these days after almost killing myself the past 3 years.

Anyways, I spent a good time of the day (outside of the lovely class time, of course...thank you Kneeland Brown), online, checking out some rather insightful videos.

There's this new Monta Ellis mix comprised solely of clips from this year. A definite keeper.

The classic LIVE feed Baron over Kirilenko. Never gets old...

And I know All-Star weekend is gone and passed, but if you still can't believe Baron Davis wasn't an All-Star this year, well...neither can Pat Riley. Check this out.

And one of my all time favorite videos.

Then check out two vids from seanthom2004 for some good laughs.


So yeah, this blog is pretty much for myself I'm guessing. We'll see...

I just found myself emailing everything cool I stumbled upon (literally sometimes) to my bro Jason and buddies Jorge, Jason, Brent, Sean, Ryan, CoRri and Dane, and well, here's my lazier (more constructive, strategic, betterly categorized) way of doing the same thing...assuming any of them ever check this thing...

Also, when I go to Vietnam, I'll hopefully be posting every once in awhile on this mama jama, who knows... That'll be a great way to keep in touch with my peeps I think.

For now though, it's rather egotistical and a partically narcissistic...but hopefully I'll be able to disguise those fun truths with some creative insights, videos, websites, pictures, and well...my bumblings. We'll see though...Enjoy!
