Who Be Those Players?

So......yesterday was game 1 of the WNBA Championship.....Sacramento won......not really the game mode I was looking for in Connecticut but it was a pretty interesting game. Freakin Kara lawson man.....ever since Pinecherio got injured and they moved her to play point she has been all over that ball's grill. Don't get me wrong....I give her credit for stepping up but now that P is back, she's still all over it. You can tell that she really wants it. And as far as Nykesha Sales goes....she's been playing for 7 years and this is her first trip to the Championship. She could be doing better but like she said, she's given it all she's got and so far it really seems to be working for Sacramento. Then there's freakin Nicole Powell....ya know.....WNBA's Most Improved Player......I said awhile ago that she didn't really catch my attention during the regular season but I congratulated her anyways.....well, the girl has definetly got my attention now. I'm not sure if it's in a good way yet though. She's all over those 3 pointers and is the reason why Houston lost game 2 against them. All within 6.4 seconds. Arrrrggggghhhhhh. Same thing as last night. It wasn't that close to the end of the but she was all over it throughout the second half. Unbelievable. As far as my team goes.......*sighs*........what the hell happened second period???? Who were those players on the court.......let's start off with Lindsay Whalen....one of the best point guards in the league....well actually I can't really say anything too upsetting about her. I was disappointed in the shots she was missing in the last 3 minutes of the game but other than that she kept her stamina. It was Connecticut as a team that was doing horribly, not the players individually. I mean look at Katie Douglas: in a minute she was able to steal the ball, make a layup, steal the ball again and set up a power play for her team on the court. It may seem like a lot of time from an outsider or to someone who hasn't played but to someone who knows.....it really isn't a lot of time at all. She really hustled. I was content with that minute alone. Game 2 is tonight at 8 on ESPN.....they really need to try and win this game because if they don't, come Friday I think they're going to have a REALLY rough time coming back from that. So in order to maintain a sense of balance, I think they need to step up, win this game, give it all they have tomorrow and come game 4.....their heads need to be in the game and with that I think they have a good chance of winning. But like I said....it all depends on what happens tonight. My poor Conn. So Rebecca Lobo was reporting.......*big ass smile on my face*.......I'm not surprised....she's played for UConn in college and her last 2 years in the league she played for Conn. It's her home. Although she did an amazing job in Conneticut, I have to say her best playing was with New York. Man can she play.....lord.......totally my idol. If I ever wanted to play professionally, I'd want to be exactly like her......yes, there are A LOT of great players in the league......but for some reason Lobo, to me, is flawless. Even now that's she's retired, I still think she's the greatest WNBA player ever. No one has astounded me like she has. She's the face of the WNBA and the very reason why it's come as far as it has. Anywhodewho....for those of you real into like me (doubt it) you should check out WNBA online. They got some pretty interesting stuff going on. Good look Connecticut.......and Sacramento.......

So my class yesterday was pretty cool. I got full with a couple of bites again. Oh well. This girl Tori is all bout questions. Which is a good thing. She's coming around. She works through Saturday and if no one comes in at 6 on Friday then I think she'll be closing with me. Oooo I'm all excited....I haven't hosted on a Friday in FOREVER....I'm gonna have fun. Can't wait.....I took some pictures yesterday that I need to upload....I dunno.....I'm becoming closer to certain people at work and I'm not avoiding it like I have before and ya know what.....it feels really good. I figure what's the harm in letting someone in if you're already in with them?

I spoke to Lili yesterday......she went to the doctor's because they think she has diabetes. She's going to get the results back next week. I hope she's ok....I know how she gets when something like this happens.....she dones't want to try to take care of herself because she feels like she's already worthless if she can't do what she's been doing that past 17 years of her life. And as far as school goes for her....she's going back to Irvin. She's been provoked to fight with people at Andress but for some reason they always step down when she steps up. It's like this.....the kids there will see her and her friends and they'll start making fun of her. She'll get the balls to say something to thier face and then they dont want to talk shit anymore. As soon as they see her getting ready to throw down, they step off. She told me that it's been happening lately and if she does get into a fight, she'll be kicked off band and band is her life. Shit like that pisses me off. In the past, she was soooo timid. She would have never stuckup for herself and now that she has balls, they step off. Who does that shit???? Aye, I hate high schoolers.....they're so stupid. Ok, not all of them but a fuckin big majority of them. Another thing that pisses me off is that they're picking on her. No one is allowed to pick on her......except me. One of the BIGGEST pet-peeves that I have (and you can ask Vanessa & Damaris about this) you NEVER EVER mess with my friends. EVER!!! You wanna get on my shit list real fast without knowing me....that's how you do it. Once you cross that line, I don't care who you are, you wont have a chance in the world with me. I can handle a lot but when it comes to people that I truly care about it.....that's it. You done fucked up to the point of no return. You wanna stay on my good side....you leave my friends alone. ESPECIALLY when it comes to Vanessa, Damaris, and Lili. That's just something you dont mess with. They know how far I'll go to defend them and they know what I'll give up for them. No one here in Florida has seen that side of me but I wouldnt be surprised if it ever came out because Sheena is getting pretty close to me. So is Kristin. And of course Nikki but that's a lil different.

Speaking of her.....thanks for the convo last night. I really wasn't expecting to talk that much but hey....ever little bit counts. I havent stopped thinking about you by the way. I hope you had a good night. I hope you have a good day at work......lol, oh yea, I forgot to mention....so I had the coolest dream last night.....I had to fly over to Phoenix because Vanessa's sister Shelly and her gf got season tickets to the WNBA games and they told Vanessa to get me over there so I can go to the games with them. Well, it was Phoenix Mercury against Seattle Storm. I was all into the game, yelling out fouls, cussing the ref out, jumping up and down like a retard when all of a sudden this news caster guy comes up to me and asked me if I wanted to report the game for the local news channel. All I had to do was "pretend" that I was routing for Mercury. Which I really wasn't. I was sitting in the Seattle section of course! Go Sue Bird! Anywhodewho.....he told me he would pay me, Shelly, and Stephanie $1,000 if I would do that for them. Who are we to pass up $3,000? So I agreed. They took me back to this studio where all these cameras were around me and they told me to do a couple of trial runs. The only problem I had was I kept veering off, talking about Seattle. So then the guy told me that he would give us all an extra $500 if I just say something good about Mercury and give some highlights. Hey, it worked. I looked into the camera, acting all excited to be a fan of Mercury, said what I needed to say and I was done. I put the mic down and I was on my way to shake the guy's hand but I woke up. OMG it was the coolest thing ever though. Words can't explain how that made me feel. I've been thinking about it a lot, trying to figure out or "analyze" what it means. Hmmmm........anyways, I better get going. Adios.
