This Is One Big Joke

The problem with this new family is they don’t get my jokes. My insides are hurting, holding in the chuck-chuck-chuckles I can’t give outloud to myself, and they stare at me like my name is Vlad. Conservative chicken farmers meet disgruntled poet. Okay. Like today, when everyone is hot and bothered by the heat, stressed out by new-Mom not letting anyone wander within 3 feet of the edge, I say, we all should just chill dudes, sticking my hands out like riding a surf board, hanging ten or whatever. They’re like, whatever Keanu. Okay. That’s not true. But really, I stole one from my dad, he is old and funny, saying smoke another one when someone coughs, Nothing, just looks that say, we don’t believe in cigarettes. Saying the dust is getting in her lungs, that’s not funny. What?! Later, I’m at the top of a big old rock, I see new-Mom sweating panic, I’m so close to the edge, so I throw my hands up, raising the roof, maybe shaking my booty a little. Just shouts of WATCH OUT and crooked eyebrows. Man, I think, Zach would be stoked, smiling his big wide smile. The worst part is they don’t even appreciate domestic violence jokes, like when Sara calls me a slow-poke or a wuss or dumbhead while climbing some jagged rocks and I say,shut up I’m going to rip your face off. Everyone checking my fists, new-sister cowering in a crevice. Jeremy would be saying, Whoa man. Watch yourself. Clark would get the joke. Come on people.

Woah, the rock walls climb like they are trying to find God.

I'm about to Gobble up all that BBQ in Kansas City.

Some Thoughts On The NBA Draft

John Wall #1? Duh. Draft Calipari point guards (Rose, Evans, now Wall).

Gordon Hayward at 9 to Jazz, first real suprise of the draft for me. However, looking closer, it seems like a great fit. Kirilenko is not what he used to be as a starter, and Hayward's versatility is just up Coach Sloan's philosophical alley. Pacers would have taken him at 10, I bet.

The Thunder acquiring Cole Aldrich was a big deal. Also, smart of them not to keep Eric Bledsoe.

I'm very disappointed in the Trailblazers trading Martell Webster and firing GM Kevin Pritchard (look at this team he's put together!). I love the pick of Elliot Williams, athletic combo guard just what they need.

The Heat have only TWO players on contract for next year. If keep Wade, get to big free agents, they could be serious contenders in a year or two. Same goes with Chicago. Imagine Derek Rose next to two superstars.

I made a joke on Facebook responding to the NBA's question of who would have the best career of the rookies this year. My answer: whoever the Spurs pick. They picked James Anderson, and though it is doubtful he will be the best, I think he will be yet another great late pick of the Spurs (Hill, Parker, Ginobili, Blair).

Best NBA draftee name: 6 foot 10 inch 302 pound Tiny Gallon.

Boston took Luke Harangody. Another Big Baby Davis?

I'm kind of sad I didn't get to watch the whole thing (7:30 am Spanish class). I have this odd love for the NBA Draft.
