So that happened, so fuck me in that last post.
for about 2 hours i was stunned that the cavs didnt pull it out. Maybe sports aren't scripted? I mean it really should have been at least pushed to game 7, at least if i were an NBA story writer thats how i would have done it.
So why would the NBA chose the Boston Celtics to beat the Cleveland LeBrons?
Well like I said in the last post, THIS season is the season. The 2010 free agency scramble that is going to take place is prepping up the NBA for a very media centered off season, and who else to have in the middle of the debate than King James. This loss gives LeBron a wonderful excuse to leave C-town. Sorry Colin, but its true. In this series you had a team win. Not a team surrounded the star. This gives LeBron an excuse to leave. If you listen to the ESPN and Yahoo sports analysts this is the line they are all feeding you. Its a team game and in the matchups the Cavaliers just were not superior.
LeBrons excuse will now be to move to an already established team.
So maybe sports aren't fake, and the boston celtics players really earned the win. But the story of having LeBron be the center of the whole summer.
Besides they also have Kobe to right about, im sure his ankle will start to tingle and it will give the writers lots of hype.

Celtics v Cavs
The 2010 Eastern Conference Semi-Final Series between LeBron James and The Boston Celtics currently sits at 3-2. Boston the 4th seeded team is ahead of The Cavs who dominated the East all year. But do not worry Cleveland because the NBA can not afford for LeBron to miss the Finals this season. The season where for years the media has looked forward to. The season before 2010. What is going to happen for LeBron and Cleveland if he didn't win. There was no way The NBA would have allowed there biggest player in such a pickle win a championship until the very last second. And if he doesn't win it then of course they were going to play the story of his quest until the loss in the finals, to Kobe. James > Jordan. The best story in the NBA.

Hawking, and I don't mean Eloise
I am aware that the post is late, but it’s still Sunday somewhere.
People say you only get one life, but no one really knows that for sure, I’d rather people say you only get to remember one life.
The discovery channel has a new show called “Stephen Hawking and the Theory of Everything.” It does a wonderful job at explaining the mysteries of the universe but it only leaves me with the question, what is it like to be Stephen Hawking. Hawking is widely regarded as the smartest man in the world and suffers from severe ALS that leaves him almost completely paralyzed. As I get depressed because of things that are my fault, there sits a man who hosts a television program without the ability to move. The only functioning thing about Hawking is his consciousness. It amazes me that this man still progresses on wanting to live in a life where he can feel no physical feeling, at all, but still does a world of good through his mind. His thoughts and questions about the universe provoke him enough to still have a yearning for life.
As my journeys through the wonder of television progressed for the evening I find myself watching a film starring John Goodman and Al Pacino called “You Don’t Know Jack”, a movie about the suicide doctor Jack Kevorkian. It’s funny how things work this way, I spent a good 25 minutes debating in my head whether or not I would choose to live in the state as Hawking. Wondering if my thoughts alone were good enough for me to continue with through the struggle of life, and here comes a show about a man who helped put people who were only left with the consciousness out of the misery and pain they were in. So this has left me with two very provoking questions; if I were personally in a state where the only functioning part of my body is my mind would I want to continue to live? And should physician assisted suicide be a crime?
If I were thrown into a completely illogical SMod-like (referring to Kevin Smith’s Smodcast) scenario where I forced to choose from living confined to a chair for the remainder of my years, or simply die, what would I choose? I guess the deciding factor would be if I am like Hawking with the finances to have the amenities like him where I can still communicate with the outside world via super computer or not? And if I would have the mind of Hawking, and his abilities to unwork the mysteries of the world around us, because if I were stuck with my own mind I don’t think I would be wise enough for my consciousness to keep me satisfied. I would need to be much more educated than I currently am to want to survive with no communication and thoughts alone.
Morally, I don’t think anyone should assist anyone else in murder. Even if the person wants to off themselves it is still not the right thing to do. Your efforts should be into help the sick get better not go away. I thought I was against Kevorkian until I did a little research and stumbled upon a quote, “dying is not a crime.” After this I could really see where he was coming from because if these people really wanted to die it was there right to do so. Most of us are not so lucky to be able to pick when we go, and if you are not able to live the life you want because you are too sick to carry on, then it is your choice. In defense of the doctor, these patients did not have the ability to do it alone, but if they did what is to say they would not have done it anyway?
