Blog - Anything and Everything

.:: Day well spent ::. I can't complaint this weekend; it was not as bad as some of the previous weekend. Friday I was working all day, Saturday I worked most of the day, (ok so far the weekend isn't all that cracked up to be), but Sunday was a good day. Started out with, waking up early (8:30am) after getting ready and heading out, we went to Philly to the NBA Hoop it up Tournament by the 1st Union Center, where my friend Mike was participating in the Tournament. When we got there the game had recently begun, and the score was 11-4 (Mike's team had 4 pt.) as the game went out Mike's team started catching up, and next thing I know it was tied up 15-15 and it was the end of the game, so it turned out to be a draw. Finally they convinced the referee, to go into overtime. The other team did a do or die shot and missed, Mike's team got the ball and finished the game. (I have pictures, but I can't post them here, cuz I can't upload them onto the blogger, but I might post them via Angelfire.com) After that was over we hung out there participating in contests, one of the 1st contest I participated in was "Tobacco is Wacko", where the Backboard of the hoop is wack (bent & deformed) and you had to make shot in using the backboard. I missed the 1st few shots, because I had to get used to the backboard, then finally I scored 2-3 (10 pointers) and 2 (20 pointers) I think. I got a shirt that reads, "Tobacco is wacko". Then we went to another area where you would have a court with obstacle and you have to go around avoiding or going behind and trying to make the shot, where you had to make all the shots in to win something (I missed all the shots). There were other cool fun things to do, which we did, and then I had planned to pick up my parent's form the Airport (they were coming back from London). We had some time to kill, so we decided to go into the city. We drove around and finally ended up near Penn's Landing (we parked 4th St & Market). We walked and we got there, there was a ship parked there (I know that's not the right terminology); but you get the idea; and so we went in for the tour, some interesting stuff, such as there is No alcohol & sex allowed on the ship (note to self: never join the navy)(more pic). Finally we got done and headed to pick up my parents, we got there and came home. My mom got us some goodies, such as candy (best candies), keychains (Eiffel tower), souvenirs, food, Mango's from India (which you can't find here), etc. My parents went on a tour after the wedding they attended in London; they went to Paris and saw the Eiffel tower, River de Paris, Birthplace of Michangelo's painting, Arc De Triomphe, Notre Dame, and some other places I can't remember. I know most of this, because I watched the video they taped during the tour before i went to bed. The Fight In other news, Tyson got his ass kicked, I saw the whole fight, and through the preview it appeared Tyson was going claim the victory. I still went for the underdog, and placed my money (not literately) on Lennox, As the fight went on, I thought Tyson was going to make a quick/strong move on Lennox which would finish the fight, but Lennox kept Jabbing him and wearing him out, and finally in round 8 Tyson was down, bleeding from both eyes and nose. It took James Douglas 11, round to knock Tyson down, Evander Holyfield 10 round and Lennox only 8. Is Tyson's carrier heading down to retirement? After the fight had ended, I realized that the fight could have been rigged, there is no way Tyson took it the way he took those hit and did nothing in return, not that it mattered to me, I was going for Lennox. NBA Another sad loss for the New Jersey Nets, I didn't bother watching the whole game, (I was busy watching the Pair/wedding video), Though I did catch the 1st quarter, when Nets started to lose by 5, and when I came back to the game which was in 4th quarter, when Nets were actually winning by 7 points. As the 4th quarter went toward the end of the game, Nets had lost the Lead and were down by 4points in the last minute, they managed to come back to 2 points, but lost at the buzzer as Jason kidd tried to make the last 3 pointer to tie the game. That is 3-0 Lakers.
