Re: Off Topic 2012

Nobody will play pickup basketball with me any more because I'm too competitive and refuse to "lighten up" on the intense D.

Well I'm sorry but my offense sucks so I try extra hard on D, if you can't stop me from stealing the ball then learn some better dribble moves, and it's not my fault I have long arms and a decent vert, don't bring that weak stuff and you won't get swatted!

Spoiler

I'M NOT UPSET!

This is exactly me, except I don't have the long arms/vert. My offensive game is weak and i've always played with my best buds who are much better then me so I always just passed the ball on offense, set screens, box out, maybe tried an occasional jumper,etc.

However since I rely on my D and hustle to play bball and being a former football player I get intense and people always get pissed off to the point where i've almost got into several fights.

It's always enjoyable to shut down the guys who are much taller then me or box out those who seemingly weigh a lot more then me(that's always fun cause they get pissed off the most cause they think I get too physical)

Re: Off Topic 2012

I love playing basketball, even more than playing futbol although I prefer the later as a sport. I usually play pick up games from two to four times a week with some friends and strangers and then I've a game with my team on Sundays. During the week when I play with friends on a club it's when I enjoy the most, we usually play 5vs5 or 4vs4 when there isn't enough people. When there isn't enough people for a game I don't mind much, I spend the time trying to improve my post game and shooting bank shots which I prefer over shooting straight to the basket.
Sometimes other people get mad that I'm playing too physical but that's how I learned to play the game and it isn't like I'm doing any dirty plays or something like that, I prefer playing defense over offense and people can't find it annoying when I'm energetically playing D all over the floor and hustling every loose ball.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I've been noticing an increasing amount of gray in my hair lately. I started to see some gray hairs when I was in 7th grade, but it was never really noticeable. It's actually starting to become noticeable. No big deal, except for the fact that I'm turning 20 this summer, not 40!

Oh, well, it is what it is. Perhaps it is just a phase. My dad's hair grayed over when he was in his 30s, but not this early, I don't believe.

I'm in the same boat as you bro. For about the past 6 months to a year I've been noticing a steady influx of grays. I'm not quite as young as you are, but still 25 years old is far too young for this **** to start.

Re: Off Topic 2012

People really love Siri? It's just a glorified voice command thing. It was handy until I got used to the actual phone aspect of the device.

The people who buy the phone simply because it's an iPhone and they feel that that fact makes it superior to any other phone feel that anything the iPhone has that other phones do not is some of the greatest technology ever (e.g. Instagram. It was the greatest app ever, then when it went to Android, it was ruined. Temple Run also falls into that category for games.)

Not saying all iPhone owners are like this, but there is a large group of elitist Apple consumers.

Genetics my man, you ever see Bynum on the Lakers? Dude has a whole head of gray and he's only 24 lol. I'm a little over twice your age and I have no grays (yet lol).

It is sometimes the cards you were dealt, just like balding. That's another one that never came my way.

Count me in on the genetic balding. Thanks dad

Re: Off Topic 2012

I'd prefer to have grey hair over a receding hairline but luckly (touching wood without legs) I don't have either of those two.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Do we go with Dayman-esque advice here? I think we may. Is the Imp around?

If it's either that or watching UFC, it seems to me like he can't win either way.

My hairline is receedng faster then the polar ice cap and my dad has a head full of silver/grey hair. So you can't always blame the old man.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Sliced my right thumb up pretty good, with a straight razor, while at work.

Just hit it with the peroxide and wrapped it up.. hope it doesn't effect my gaming :P

Re: Off Topic 2012

I have to go see Nickleback on Saturday instead of watching UFC

Ugh, who is making you go to that?

My chick, if it was anyone else I'd tell them to buzz off.

Bro, I'm sorry, but this is a sure sign.

It's time to break up.

Edit: HOLY ****! Are we calling Dayman The Imp now? Cuz that's totally badass and I wish I would have thought of that first.
