The 'L' Word

Thanks again and again to everyone who helped make my wedding an awesome day. I picked up a spare suitcase from my Mother today and she gave me a whole heap of photos I haven't seen yet and also some video footage from my recent wedding.
I just watched some of the clips from the ceremony and couldn't stop smiling. Love is a wonderful thing. It is actually pretty crazy that I managed to find someone who not only puts up with my strange, weird awkwardness but somehow manages to keep up with me on a daily basis. And yes, I know, your asking yourself and your grandma what does this rant about being in love got to do with fantasy basketball? Of course I'll find some odd, witty way to link it all together.... I hope.
Last night around 10pm or was it 9pm? Damn daylight saving. May I say, being unemployed and going through a transition to daylight savings is like...impossible. There is no reason for me to change what I do so basically I do the same as per normal just an hour later, sometimes more. Anyhow, it was J Smoove (Jules) vs Daddy Sta (Myself) in the first of many challenges in the NBA 2K9 online war for xbox360. Add me if you want a challenge "Daddy Sta". It was clearly a match of love. I selected the Bucks (just to keep an evenly ranked team to my opponent) who chose the Grizzlies and subquently, RUDY GAY. And that is what I call love. Not only did Jules select him in fantasy bball but also in 2K9. Ahhh Love! Isn't it sweet? I got that 'basketball love' too and I'm sure all of you do too. I have been a long term Allen Iverson fan and managed to clinch him in second round of the draft. Actually I am wearing a hoody right now with the Sixers logo and the classic number #3. I love his toughness on court and his passion for the game. There are a few more players that I have a court crush on but didn't manage to get on my team though. Chris Paul, every aspiring point guards hardwood fantasy player. Dwight Howard can't hit a free throw but hits my heart with every rim rattling dunk. Carmelo Anthony with all his offensive capabilities, he is a guy to watch whenever the ball is in his hands and Yao Ming, if one man can lead an army of millions into battle it is him and I would follow!
It's great to have that love for a player as a fan and to also draft them too in fantasy. You might get blindsided by that love but to me as a true fan, It is all worth it!

Hearing the sound of birds softly chirping,
