5 things i know

you might want to add some water, cuz this blog is concentrated truth... let me enlighten you:

1) Our team is gonna start laying the beats to the danish first division. i aint trying to jump the gun and be johnny prognosticator but, we are about to bring the heat like abu dabbi. our american dude(my roomate), corrie, just got his visa today so he is now eligible for this weekends game, it came thru like 20 minutes before it had to be submitted for weekend play. it aint even christmas and it feels like a wrap. we are gonna be a totally different team now, more athletic, more diversfied and most importantly more dangerous.... and i'm not even talking about offense yet. it means i get to spend a little more time at my natural position(the 3) and operate that baseline a bit more. when i found out at practice i had a little extra hop in my step right away. we play a tough team in copenhagen on sunday evening. the websites that do the prognosticating of the games are split in how they think it'll go. one has us losing by five, the other winning by five.... as my old man says "the proof is in the pudding" (come to think of it... what is the deal with that saying, i know it applies to this particular circumstance due to hearing it in context hundreds of times.... an irish food reference?)

unlike the terrible tv show... we got the best wings in the league now

2) staying on a basketball theme for a sec.... the knicks will absolutely positively be better than last year. you might not have heard it here first but i assure you you will hear it often. we got a pretty good guard rotation, two good big post players and a sweet white guy. now all we need is some defence. until we wait till xman, oakley childs and ewing's kids are old enough to play for us. we are gonna outscore ya

after high school i never thought i'd see a guy named nate who was good at ball

3) birthdays. if you were to line up my sister niamhy(25 on friday) and my little brother andje(30 on saturday) for a drinking contest birthday show down extravaganza..... it would be quite a display. the tale of the tape:

in the pink corner:

NAME: Niamhy "duck" Coghlan(above on the left)

BIRTHDAY: quarter

HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 5'8" 140lbs

STRENGTHS: strong(for a girl), has experience with all types of alcohol, spent the last few years fighting for survival against the likes of brick top and bullet tooth tony on the mean streets of london, tough as a nail as a result of being the youngest in the family, good liar.

WEAKNESSES: chocolate, vision impairs later in the night(some would call it the lazy eye), she gets overconfident, prone to losing visa then reporting it missing the next day with thousand dollar bar tab rung up, late night binge eating, forgets to wash her hair

in the even pinker corner:

NAME: Andje "kiko" Whitehouse

BIRTHDAY: 3 dimes

HEIGHT/WEIGHT: 6'1, 230lbs(upperbody 207lbs, lowerbody 23lbs)

STRENGTHS: big arms

WEAKNESSES: booty, candy, lives in a delusional world called "player number nine-ville", wears tight clothing on occasion(wesley nights), his dog.

now this hypothetical event would start slow, maybe with some beers, niamhy sticking to the draft beer, andje with some beer no-one has ever heard of that he keeps trying to convince people is good. feeling good niamhy ups the ante: a round of sourpuss shots(on her visa). andje responds with "heeeeellll no! baby girl, you know PLAYA NUMBA NINE CAN'T DO THIS" after some humming and hawwing he settles down and takes his medicine. at this point l'afrique is feeling pretty good about himself, the 30 years begins to look more like experience and less like the slope of a mountain he just climbed. he calls for more beers... niamhy counters "quit being a baby and lets drink some vodka". back and forth this far from epic battle is waged(the details become less important), they mix, they complain, they drink more.

in what could only be described as the TSN turning point; andje, in a desperate last effort to finish the pesky quarter once and for all.... digs into the cupboard and pulls out some overproof rum from some equatorial vacation..... niamhy is wary but is no stranger to a challenge. two shots get poured... the wafting of alcohol waves rises from the drink like heat from a summer highway. they look at each other with apprehension. time passes.... tic toc.... a silence from the standoff in the room is broken and in walks the little general...stephane. with his little french accent he queries "what the fuck is ziss bullshit? ....are you two a bunch of wussies and pussies?" he reaches out and slams both drinks, dusts off his hands, adjusts his versace collar, says simply "c'est ca!" and walks away... the screeching of american muscle tires on pavement the only sounds left to echo.

niamhy and andje look at eachother, eager to truce, extending open hands they miss the handshake and fall into two crumpled piles on the ground. sarah drags niamhy into the car to take her home, ignoring pleas to stop at the nearest fast food joint. andje crawls to his room, seeing that xander has crawled into his spot and is growling, he drags himself back into the living room and onto his favorite spot... the couch....

happy birthday to you both!

4) i would like to thank mininova and its creators for allowing me to download copious amounts of digital media. keeping me entertained is keeping me sane at the moment. besides the movies, john stewart and colbert nation are the daily comedic offering to the god that is myself. appeasement is crucial! these two dudes are on another level though and their satirical servings are all i need to stay full. its like they operate with a canadian perspective of american preposterousness. i am denmark and so can you!

Question! which bear is best? i feel like i don't even have to say how good the show the office is... carrel plays uncomfortable like dylan does the harmonica

5) I am legendary. myself, master chief and the arbitrar let 'em know.... earth aint going quietly into the night. gilbert arenas is into this like crazy with the xbox live. i've been following this little feud for a week or two and scroll down and read on his blog what he's writing about it... its pretty hilarious how into it he is.he is basically like jeff, getting into arguments with 14 yr olds about who is cheating and what the rules of gaming consist of.

on some no exaggeration type stuff, this game is the real deal though. i put in some hours
