Well, we lost to "The Revolution" today. They are the one team that I considered a major threat. They have a bunch of shooters that can handle the ball decently. When everyone can do that, man to man defense isn't as effective as it usually is. Due to the fact that one of the ppl will probably either get by their person, or get a shot off. Not sure ( Read more... )

Probably did crappily on the exam, but that's ok. Basketball was good, took the midterm and then played 5 on 5. I didn't know that I'd be using my post skillz. I need to brush up on them. Calm down, turn, and put the ball in the hoop. Looks like, even though I need to work on guard skills, my post-up game can't be neglected. If I'd made a few more ( Read more... )

Happy 4th of July everyone!...yeah.

Played basketball today after class....I was on a team of tall ppl, and one kid with mad hops. In other words, I didn't do much, though we won 5 times in a row. Wow, I now see why most nba ppl are tall, It helps so much. With them in the post I was completely useless. I mean really, they can score easier and get rebounds easier. Don't get me wrong ( Read more... )

So, I was doing online calc hw and was finally done...when I pressed submit, it "had trouble accessing my book" and erased my progress!! I then only had 30 min to redo it all. I was quite ticked...but this type of situation brought back an old feeling. The one I used to get so often during school. A challenge had presented itself. I could either go ( Read more... )

Played ball after the class with the good pg again! It's always good to have a point guard that realizes the significance of an open post player. Also, took apart my PS2. Mainly b/c it looked like the lens needed cleaning. Lots of little screws, but I did end up succeeding. as well as killing the PS2 for a while....But I brought it back! And now, I ( Read more... )

Well, the glasses came in. I'm quite pleased with them. My free throw has improved, but I still need to work on my shot and layup. As in hitting my layup full speed and from different angles. My handle is getting better, nothing flashy but I can throw in flashy stuff later. Heck, I've sealed my handle from what it was b/c I couldn't do a normal ( Read more... )

Saw lots of ppl today. Jennie, my previous lab TA (completing her thesis, on which I wish her great luck), teh Prez, Dan (from kendo), Ryan (also from kendo, but injured), and last but not least, Abe. He should be coming to practice next week. That's about it. Also saw some interesting T-Shirts. Took all I could not to get the Venom or Carnage T's ( Read more... )

Today was pretty eventful as was Friday. After Fridays classes were done, I did went to work, and then met up with Monica and chilled for a bit. While I was waiting for her to finish work I saw a squirrel with mad skillz get some water from what looked like a pretty vertical rock face near the pond next to the CRCE parking lot ( Read more... )

Good things happened today. B/c our instructor will not be here tomorrow we got to have our free day today in basketball class. Now for teh good stuff. I was driving into what was an open lane when the defense collapses on me and fouls me quite well. I was going for a layup but couldn't lift my arms high enough, so I mustered what I could to get it ( Read more... )
