LE Bron, the Beast




So i saw this little rainbow on my walk across the bridge today. Over there in the corner is LP Field, where the Tennessee Titans play football. I saw it and I thought about my brother, Patrick, who today found out that he didn't get the job he was interviewing for with this company, Terra Eclipse. I just saw it and it was kind of a little spark of a rainbow, just a chunk of one really, and I thought "That's all this kid needs. Just a shot. Just one break, and he'd take off."

I'm hoping he gets his chance. He's got another interview with JPC Incorporated tomorrow. He's borrowing my car. I hope no one sees him driving it. Shit. It's looking awful today, although I did put a new antenna on it. Kind of like putting up a flag on the Titanic.

Wow this Cavs/Magic game is exciting. They've been back and forth all night. Shit Lebron, you got to make that free throw with 1:05 left to play. Cavs come from 8 back to take the lead yet again. Good god he's getting all the rebounds right now. I think he's taken down the last 3. Misses the long jumper... Orlando comes back and Pietrus, who's been throwing daggers in the playoffs misses the high percentage 3 pointer and West, scrambling with Howard, on the ground, reaching, knocks it out of bounds.

Reset. Cleveland's up by 1 with 6.4 seconds left. Orlando has the ball from near the half court line. Turkoglu to make the in-bounds pass. AND WHO THE FUCK IS THE GUY WITH THE GOLD LAME JACKET AND FUSCHIA TURTLENECK AT COURTSIDE?!!??!!?!? While distracted, and I can't blame any of the Cavs, Rashard Lewis buries a 3 from the near corner to send the Magic up by 2 with only 4.1 seconds left. Lebron takes it, looking to drive (smart) and makes contact with (i can't tell, it doesn't matter) to draw the foul and go to the line. First shot, net. Second shot. There's somebody playing a bodhran and thousands of Floridians are going crazy and Lebron
lives
up
to
the
hype.



Ladies and Gentlemen, it's going to overtime. Who do these guys think they are, the Bulls???

Back Again

Hey,

It's been just about three and a half years since my last post. Since my last anything to do really at all with this blog. I forgot about it. Facebook took over. Law school took over. Everything else happened. I hate to sound regretful, I always told myself to live with no regrets, but I kind of wish i could tell my last-post self what exactly to avoid (Cabana, West End on June 26th, 2006, Booze).

Living without regrets is NOT the same thing as living without consequences. I transposed them. Now I am sitting in my bedroom on Memorial Day Night, the windows are open, and the trucks passing on I-440 sound like wind coursing through rocky hills. I'm five and one half months sober. I'm single. I'm an assistant public defender. I'm living with my brother.

Last-post Kevin would have probably lost his shit after hearing any of those things. Especially the part about the wind.
