Happy Birthday Kobe

Well today is August 23 and that means the best player that we have in basketball just turned 32.

Kobe scored the 2nd most points in a game (81). Second only to Wilt's 100.

A recap

I've been away for awhile and I know I've missed some opportune time to comment on key events in our history, ie Lebron, Apple iPhone 4, iPhone 4 problems, etc.

First off is LeBron James. The best player in game stats and athletic ability-wise left his "hometown" team (remember he is actually from Akron, Ohio the Clev) to join two of his buddies, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, in the great city of Miami to play for the Heat. Mr. James made this decision by hosting an hour long ESPN special cleverly titled "The Decision" where the advertising money benefitted the Boys and Girls Club of Akron. I was mad, not at LeBron going to the Heat but him taking an hour out of my life to watch the show and he only talked for 15 minutes in a hugely unpopular PR move. One thing that was inspired by Bron-Bron was the dark beard (I'm currently rocking it). And thats all I have to say about that (Forrest Gump voice).

Next up is the Apple iPhone 4. Who wasn't excited for the next generation of iPhone with it's sleek, clean lines and dual camera video call enabling software. I wanted one so bad that I was willing to sell things like an NYC crack-head. Better judgment and a lack of funds prevailed and alas I stuck with my 3GS. Fast forward a couple of weeks to the release date: "my phone is dropping calls when I hold it a certain way" echos throughout. Apple's first reaction is to hold it differently. Then they hold a press conference where Steve Jobs, CEO compares other smartphone by holding their products in the same way. Result? Bars decrease. It was like they wanted take the focus off of antena-gate and say all phone are the same reception-wise. There next step was to tell the people that they screwed up the algorithm that calculates signal strength (false full bars). We all know Apple loves its customers so to get back in the good graces the fruit is offering free bumpers to all who purchased the new iPhone 4. Nice recovery.

My final thought is about Roger Clemens. This fool said that he misremembered taking steroids or being injected by his trainer under oath to Congress. This whole steroid and baseball this weak and its funny how many people lied and then got caught. I hope he does some time.

Until next time kiddos.
