So far, this was the best suggestion out of the lot. If it’s met with support, Jagz gets the tickets. If this is terrible, we can change. It’s critical to have a good column name or you won’t want to come read this stuff. At least I’m guessing how that works.
Anyways, I have a lot to cover today, much of it unrelated to the Rockets. Because who exactly is paying any attention to the team right now? We’re basically waiting for next week to see if something goes down. On that note, is this the most boring season you’ve ever experienced? It has to be, right? Last year, there was all of the McGrady drama, and then after the Kevin Martin trade, serious hopes of contention with a free agent pickup in the summer. This time around, we have no franchise or potential franchise player for the first time since…I don’t even know…and seemingly not really much hope. We’re just waiting for some sort of domino to drop.
I mean really, look back – in 2005, we were awful but atleast we had health to hope upon. In the Francis years, we actually thought Francis would improve and take us to the promised land. The Dream era of course always saw us in contention (towards the latter end, at least.) Right now, we’re just waiting. Sure, a playoff run would be fun, I guess. But ultimately, there isn’t really much upward trajectory with this squad as currently composed. I suppose there’s the small minority of you that think a superstar isn’t required, but not many feel that way – for the rest of us there’s some serious apathy setting in. Let’s see what the deadline brings us.
Onto other matters, I haven’t had a soda in over a month, have given up junk food completely, and have pretty damn near eliminated all process/fast food(s). I haven’t felt this much mental clarity and energy in my life. I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but damn do I feel good. The cravings are gone too for the most part. Well, let me clarify: if I’m in my apartment, or class or somewhere, whereas in the past I’d constantly be thinking of the next opportunity for a sugar rush, I now am content and satiated on all fronts. If I’m driving around, I think, ‘yeah some McDonald’s with a large coke would be nice’ but I no longer have to have it. Amazing; I never thought I’d reach this point. How I did it? I weened off the soda by drinking juice and used fruit to ween off the cookies and ice cream. That sounds disgusting but it somehow worked. That glucose now suffices. And why wouldn’t it if that’s how our bodies were made to work?
The forums should be up soon. I know I keep saying that, but we’re pretty much close to complete. Just need to test it out a bit, but I think we’re pretty much there. Let’s hope this can live up to the potential.
That’s all for now. What do you think of the new name? Be honest.
