The Bad Hair Day (apparently I wasnt the only one)

On the drive to the Metro......I realized I didnt brush my hair.....darn. At first I thought about how absolutely vain that was of me to be so upset over the 3 centimeters worth of hair that is actually on top of my head. I tried to forget about my bed head and go on about my usual, chalking the morning up to being just another case of the Mondays so I chose to take the high road and forget that my hair looked like a used S.O.S. dish scrubber. I managed to block out the insanity known as my hair until I got on the train only to find the most ridiculous weavealicious woman sitting in front of me. Shall we say Eek! Her head looked like that room of heads in that Return to Oz movie that Dorothy had to run from. In February during the worst storm in the DC Metro area's history I would have been more empathetic. At least that shiwalla would have kept her head and ears warm. Its June, and its 90 degrees. A co-worker of mine expressed her disdain for women who have just too much hair in the summer time. To quote her, "I'm hot for her"! The reality check set in and I decided to go to CVS and grab one of those cheap brushes and go on about my day. I get to the drug store only to find uber expensive brushes and combs and realized that my thinning hair isnt all that bad after all. The lesson here is that there are more important things to life than vanity. For starters there is no practicality in a pom pom full of hair on your head in June. Specifically, vanity is just not practical or productive. There is something to be said for dressing appropriately for work, and another for overkill. Proper work attire does include hair but the perfect slick-down is not the way to secure the job of the future, or keep the job of the present......

H.A.M. OF THE DAY

WHY DOES JORDAN LOOK LIKE A CHINESE DICTATOR WITH THAT THING...... its not like anyone can even see that S.O.S. pad underneath his nose since he's black as night!

Still truckin....minus one mudflap

Disappointment always comes with another dimension besides the expected anguish. That old saying, "when a door closes, another opens"; is rather cliche but has merit. I wouldn't call it a door, maybe a Subaru mudflap that just wont stay on lately. One day it will stick, and when it does, watch out world......

Game 3.....Among Other Things

Missed the 1st quarter, thanks to some Wii Fit Plus and some tennis at the park under the lights. I surprised myself a bit. There have been a lot of self-reflecting questions regarding my fitness as of late in a good way. Apparently I am not the only one who's self-reflecting these days. That Van der Sloot guy felt the need to confess to killing the daughter of a Peruvian public official (smart guy). Supposedly he killed Natalie Holloway but we'll never know since there is no body and she disappeared five years ago. Smooth move MORON......
Maybe Kevin Garnett will do some self reflection after this season is over because I am convinced he needs a psychological evaluation PRONTO!!!!!
GO LAKERS!!!

HOT ASS MESS.........ALERT

THEM DAMN LAKERS.....I still have faith in my Lakers......even with this blemish of a game......UGH!

H.A.M. POTENTIAL....

If they dont hurry up with that damn iPhone.......H.A.M.!!!!!

Game 2 NBA Finals

Its just before half time. Missed the 1st quarter to squeeze in a bit of bball and some tennis before it got dark. An interesting day, complete with weekend work, thunder, gossip, and sports (real and imagined). My Lakers were a bit of inspiration for my cousins who called to say "be at the court in 15 minutes". Normally, after drinking dogfish and flying dog all afternoon I would be in no shape. But watching highlights from game 1 of this series, and Nadal sealing his own fate as the newly ranked #1 seed and 2010 French Open Champ. Maybe I was inspired to put down the PS3 controller and go out side.
Who knew I would drop what I was doing, throw some fish in the oven and roll out. Maybe I was hiding in the hole I dug myself into arguing with the one that means the most to me over things that just went over my head. Maybe I was too ego driven to see my own madness. Do I let things go over my head on purpose, just so I dont have to face my own reality. Apparently my reality is the drive and desire to get up and keep blogging. Keep writing. Keep swinging. Keep shooting. Keep dreaming.
Coming down from the high of receiving my masters in front of my whole family (extended included). Side bar on that weekend......a whole other enchilada. I found myself wondering what I would do with all this new found time. Tennis has been good, video games are mindless and something that I enjoy. Writing is another passion that I need to reinvest in, as well as reading. I also need to inform as many folks as possible all the H.A.M.s I encounter. Stay Tunes for more tennis, basketball, newspaper and gossip madness..........this blog is on and poppin again......
H.A.M.'S beware.....i'm gonna find you and expose your madness to the world in hopes of empowering you to do better. Even if its just an improvement on a horrible ensemble, or a message of inspiration......
