No school tomorrow so I'm up late watching the Australian Open. (1) Nadal vs. (14) Verdasco. Nadal's in a battle with this guy, things been goin on for 3 hours and theres still a ways to go. Probably will go to bed soon though. I hadn't watched tennis hardly at all, probably never actually, before last night when I watched Roger Federer defeat Andy Roddick (apparently Federer has Roddicks number, dudes like 19-2 against him) and it showed last night. So I guess I like tennis now, it's really fun to watch.

Daves blasephemous (real word?) speculatory (real word?) post on the acquisition of Shaq "the Diesel" "Shaqa Clause" Shaq Fu" O'Neal has me thinking. What IF we just rented the big fella for a year or two? We get a silly mentor for Gregory. SOEC > RLEC for next year. AND one of if not THE best center in NBA history. Yes he's not really in his prime BUT I think he's still got a year or two left in him, he could squeeze another ring out here in PDX before he retired, while we wait for Greg to develop INTO THE NEXT SHAQ AND DOMINATE THE LEAGUE FOR THE NEXT 16 YEARS NOT TO MENTION WINNING A CHAMPIONSHIP IN 13 OF THOSE 16 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!! IOSJDFIOFOGO !!!@#$RBjf. i mean if we get Shaq b4 the deadline we would get to the finals this year and SHAQ WOULD EAT KENDRICK PERKINS ALIVE FOR BREAKFAST. wait we would have to go through the Lakers to get to Boston. THATS OK SHAQ WOULD BE PLAYING HIS HINEY OFF AGAINST HIS EX-TEAM/EX-WIFE THE L*KERS AND KOBBBBBEEEEE. and he would show Bynum how a real center plays the game of basketball. maybe even crack HIS rib and collapse HIS lung, see how that punk likes it.

point is i like tennis and i can handle the idea of Shaq in a Blazer uni for a year or two if it gets us to the promised land. i apologize if this post offends anybody, it's really late/early and I don't even know what im saying, all that stuff up there ^^^ is just my sleep deprivation shining through the clouds. see that statement didnt even make sense. good night.
