Very cool stuff, typically don't see that from the Euro's. Kinda curious to see if he could play over here.

And with the first round pick, the Chicago Bulls draft Shal. They traded 3 future round picks and traded Deng just to get him.

Yeah......that is something the Bulls are known for. Drafting and paying out the wazooo for a Euro guy at the expense of shafting one of their already PROVEN vets on their team.

Yeah no kidding, remember Thabo Sefolosha? He was supposed to be a super star. I still fume they traded Elton Brand so they could draft Tyson Chandler and they drafted Eddie Curry that same year.

Dual monitor goodness at work now. I feel like I'm in a space station, lol.

Re: Off Topic 2012

So, now I'm going on a month of slothfulness and it has already gotten old.

My efforts at finding a summer job have been rather fruitless as the three places that have shown interest (I've submitted 20+ applications in all) have turned me down since I could not work the shift they wanted me to once school starts. I really thought I was about to land a job at Wal-Mart working graveyard shift, but they denied me during the interview because I could only work that shift through mid-August. I'm willing to continue to work part-time during college (and I'd prefer to, actually), but they said that won't work since I can't continue to work during the same shift.

Sigh...

I guess I'll keep on sending out applications, but this just sucks. The unemployment rates for youths nationwide is awful, but it is even worse here in North Carolina, where we have the fourth-highest overall unemployment rate in the nation (9.4%).

Thankfully, I'm not in dire need of money or anything, but the boredom is getting to me. I'm likely going to transfer from NC State to UNCG to get into economics in the fall, so I don't even think summer school (second session starts in late June) is an option since I am not technically enrolled in the school yet (besides, no relevant courses are offered during the second session).

But, it is what it is. I'd definitely like to have a job, though, whether it be full-time, part-time, or whatever.

Sitting around all day gives you a special sense of worthlessness, though I have been making frequent biking trips to some local trails as of late to give me something to do. Plus, it's good for you!

As a side note and a positive one, I have lost quite a bit of weight since March, when I tipped the scales at nearly 190 lbs. Now, I am down to 170 lbs. (I am 6'0", BTW), mainly by watching what I'm eating (and drinking ... Mountain Dew!!!) and also trying to exercise more via bicycles and such.

That's rough dude, I'm almost embarrassed that I've been able to practically pick and choose jobs the past few months while a ton of others struggle to find just one.

You hit the nail on the head, though. Sitting around all day jobless does give you a special sense of worthlessness. But at least you're keeping active. The breaks will come. Good luck to you and the plethora of others who are unemployed currently.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I bet Cabke that the Brewers would win their series against the Royals this week.

The Brewers are down 0-2 in this 3 game set.

A comeback doesn't seem likely.

LOL, another one bites the dust. It's just too bad we only have 3 more days of seeing who Mo's true hero is.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

I posted before about the seashell necklace I was making as a present for my girlfriend. This is how it's looking so far. Actually came out a lot better than I expected.

Edit: I'm not actually using the shell that's currently on there. The one I'm using is more purple and white and it's going to have a glossy clear coat on it. This one was just for practice so I don't screw up with the actual shell.

Haha I'm positive she's going to appreciate it, but I'll keep that in mind in case she doesn't . We're only 20, but I've been in love before (was dating a girl the past 2 years until this past Christmas), and I have a very good feeling about this one lasting longer than that.

Yep. I remember Toni Kukoc as well. Drafted him in 1990 but yet he didn't he come over to the NBA until 1993. They hyped that dude up like he was the next Jordan. Bulls greatly over paid for him.

Then it was a few other Euro players the Bulls drafted that were busts who never seen a minute of regular season playing time because they were so terrible in the pre-season.
