Poor puppy

from ty's 16th

All right fellas, I'm sitting in my last lecture of this semester.. i wanted to skip it to play more basketball in gregory gym but monica advised me otherwise. I've been playing pretty frequently because the playoffs got me fired up! poor dallas and dirk are not only getting beat up, but dirk's fiance(?) is a huge con artist that also looks like a dinosaur.. poor, poor gullible german giant. I used to love dirk, and my heart goes out to him right now. I hope dallas can beat the nuggets in their series, but down 2-0, it doesn't look good. I'll probably read this post and laugh at myself later for thinking the mavs had a shot. But who hasn't been watching the REAL series that's going on, Lakers/rockets??! wow blood, suspensions, and it's tied 1-1 for now.. good series. enough about the nba, none of my 2.5 readers have a clue what i'm talking about anyways.. but first, i'll be really surprised if you can guess who this is with leo dicaprio at the Lakers game:



also at the Lakers game was Jay-Z, shown here greeting rockets star ron artest.. check out the expression on the white guy's face.. he's thinking, "now that's a sharp haircut right there." (artest has a fohawk with the rockets logo etched in his head)



and josh groban looks so confused or uninterested.. "What sport is this again?"























this is the last lecture of the semester.. i don't want to get all sentimental yet because i have 4 freaking finals. yikes. but we're winding down...

as i'm seeing all of these new movies previews for the summer, i have to admit, most of what i've seen looks pretty awesome. topping the list of must sees for me would probably be gi joe or terminator salvation but i honestly probably won't be spending $10 to see any movie this summer.. i predict that the next movie i spend that much to see in theaters will be Inglorious Basterds with brad pitt.. not making any promises though...

as for music, i had a little 2 month stretch where i was checking out cds like the maniacal freshman i once was and i pushed my itunes tracks to over 11,000 now.. go ahead, marvel at my nerdiness.

Oh also, i still have to see Milk, but after watching that, i'll put together the way the oscars should've went..

here's what i been listening to lately:

"Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty
"Gone" by Switchfoot
"The Wrestler" by Bruce Springsteen (wow)
"Hate Me Now" by Nas feat. Puff Daddy
"Audience of One" by Rise Against (really good)
"Hustlin'" by Rick Ross
"You Got It" by Roy Orbison

"I'm just a-mad about Saffron"

Good morning to you! It's pretty exciting how fast May is coming up.. wow. that means school is over for a lot of us for a good while.. I'm pretty sure I'll be sticking around austin this summer to find a job and work for the Daily Texan.

OK, for a while, I've been meaning to post some quotes that might be funny that I've overheard around campus... let's see what you think:
"Baby, please don't worry about that, please stop worrying. Just stop worrying about it, I'm not going to hit you again," boy talking on his cell phone outside of PCL.
"Hey man do you need a spotter?" says Hispanic boy to Asian guy in Gregory weight lifting room. "No, just go do your own thing, I got this... but if I get stuck and can't lift it, come back and help me," says Asian guy.
"Dude, I know I should know this since I'm your best friend and all, but tell me your lady companion's name again..?" one frat boy to another in Gregory. Funny to me to ever consider yourself someone else's best friend and to call a girl a 'lady companion'.
"Baby, do you want an apple pie?" said a 5'4 asian boy to his 5'9 dopey looking asian girlfriend, with his face less than 4 inches from hers. yikes.
"Sometimes I wonder if my skills on the Wii would translate to sports in real life.. maybe just a little bit? I've gotten really good at boxing," said a straight-faced, nerdy 145lb white boy to his huge Hispanic friend.

What I've been listening to this week (missing the 90's more than usual):
"Good" by Better than Ezra
"Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley
"Mellow Yellow" by Donovan
"We Are Nowhere and It's Now" by Bright Eyes
"Black Satin" by The Raveonettes (JENNIFER! have you heard of them? good dark sound with girl singer)
"All I Want" by Toad the Wet Sprocket

I want some Stroke 9 cds bad.. like a pill man. I got a gogol bordello cd from the library and after seeing them live and hearing their album, i guess i'm still just not mature enough for it or something..

some nice pics:

Twitter- you vote, America! (plus interesting things on the 'net)

OK with all of these celebrities, athletes, and my favorite sportswriters moving over to Twitter, I think it might be about time for me to jump on the bandwagon. Even Oprah's on twitter now! I was slow to come around to Myspace and extremely slow to come around to facebook but i think a move to twitter is imminent. But not without your input.. tell me, what should I do? If you just flat out don't give a damn, just don't leave a comment, I'm used to it.

*21 horses drop dead before a polo match in Florida.. strange brew.

*Dwight's cousin saves the day!

*Typical day for Kobe Bryant.. anyone will find this interesting.


also some good images from entensity:

friday!

wow so i guess i'm completely alone in the sympathy for mel gibson.. i know he's done some bad things and said some crazy stuff but i still believe in him. Do you forget his movies of the 90s? i grew up pretending my dad was mel gibson! good stuff.. anyways i think they settled on that splitting it down the middle... i might've seen a headline so aaron you got your way. whatever-her-name-is-housewife gibson is a half-billionaire now.. and of those 7 children that you mentioned, only 2 of them are younger than me and 2 are older than you so i think the bulk of them will be all right without their mom needing 100 million each for them like you suggested.

jake does look a little like Pre.. how do you know of him? did you ever see jared leto's movie where he portrayed him? i didn't but have always wanted to...

not much going on around here this weekend.. i'm going to a track meet here in austin tomorrow and monica and i have a big paper due on monday so our weekend is shot.. blah.

and once again, rick perry is a moron in every sense of the word...
