A whole new world of Cavs basketball begins this Thursday. That's the day when the Cavs will select Brack Rayles with the number 1 pick in the draft.

I saw the Hulk today. It was ok. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Of course, I never was a big fan of the Hulk, so maybe that had something to do with it. The Hulk himself looked better than he did in the commercials, but they used the trick of having a lot of fighting take place at night so that you can't really see him that well. Jennifer Connelly looked pretty good though, so that's a plus.

Ah, one other thing comes to mind that I didn't like. Whenever there were people talking they did these extreme close-ups on their faces. Half the time you couldn't see their chin or the top of their head. Why did they do that? I have no idea. I thought I was watching old episodes of Wayne's World.

Anyway, the Hulk gets a rating of 5. Would watch if it was on TV or someone else rented it.

I was watching the fight last night between Lewis and Klitschko and the gash that opened above Klitschko's eye had to be a half inch wide. It was horrible. It's unfortunate too, because he was beating Lewis. He had a chance to knock him down and possibly out as early as the second round. Lewis looked out of shape and looked like he had very shaky legs. He regained some of his composure later, but I still think he had a good chance of losing his belt if the fight continued.

That said, I think it was the right decision to stop the fight. As George Foreman said, there can always be a rematch but a man has to see for the rest of his life.

ESPN says that David West (national player of the year last year) from Xavier may slip into the second round because of some poor workouts. If that happens, I think the Cavs HAVE to draft him. I'd be extremely pleased with that pick. That would give them a huge starting lineup then.

PG - LeBron James - 6'8"
SG - Ricky Davis - 6'7"
SF - Darius Miles - 6'9"
PF - David West - 6'10"
C - Zydrunas Ilgauskus - 7'3"

I can only hope that the Raptors don't take the second round pick. I'm not sure exactly why they can, but it says that the pick may be conveyed to the Raptors.

I was reading this on ESPN and I found it to be hilarious. This is from an interview with Doug Glaville of the Phillies:


"Not enough attention is paid to the off-the-field motivators that create nasty on-field grudges," Glanville revealed. "I believe video atrocities top the list. Curt Schilling assassinated my lovable Dwarf Paladin in EverQuest, happily smiling as his character stood in the safety of the town guards. That can create serious internal friction.

"I believe we need to analyze some of the video atrocities committed on PlayStation2 or Dreamcasts, or even the Commodore 64, if we need to go back that far. Teammates play each other all the time on these platforms in baseball simulations, football and other head-to-head games. This creates all kinds of bad blood when the winner is not as gracious as he could be."

Until now, those games may have seemed like just innocent diversions. Now, however, we know different.

"I'm of the theory," Glanville said, "that this could be a key explanation as to why some players have tremendous success against certain other players. Like Todd Helton against Bobby Jones (10-for-16, 3 HR). Or Mike Redmond against Tom Glavine (16-for-25).

"Maybe Glavine beat Redmond in Madden Football, 73-0, and poured Gatorade over himself after the victory. Maybe when Bobby Jones was losing to Helton in NBA Live, he 'accidentally' knocked the cord out of the wall, claiming it was a 'power-surge problem.' We don't know these things, do we?"

Has anyone playing Midnight Club II yet? I want to know how it compares to Gran Turismo 3. I realize they are two different types of games, but still... Is MCII a lot better than the original, or is it basically just Grand Theft Auto racing?

Are you able to customize your cars at all? Any info would be helpful.

I can't decide whether I should get Midnight Club II or wait for Need For Speed Underground. Since I am incapable of making my own decisions, I need you to make them for me.

I fell asleep last night at 6:30 PM and woke up at 7:30 AM this morning. Apparently I was tired.

Also, the Yankees suck.

If I ever open a restaurant I think I will call it "Pancakes and Prostitutes." I wouldn't actually sell either, but I think the name alone would be worth a lot of free publicity.

My pager goes off around 11PM tonight and the conversation went something like this.

Me: Yeah, this is Tim. Someone paged me.
Them: Hold on a second, I'm drooling all over myself.
Me: Ok, I'll wait.
Them: Your program is broken.
Me: Why?
Them: It won't accept my password.
Me: Is the caps lock key on?
Them: I'm retarded. Is the what key on?
Me: The caps lock key.
Them: Hold on, more drool.
Me: You are an idiot.
Them: I know.
Me: I was right wasn't I?
Them: I'm an idiot.
Me: I know.
