Evil Twin

LOL, my evil twin was right. Lebron James chose Miami Heat and made the announcement on tv. I wonder if the proceeds from the program will go to Cleveland...

Lebron James; You Got a Big Egooooo

This has been irking me for a few days so it's finally time to speak on it. Why is Lebron James is announcing what team he'll be calling home tonight on ESPN at 9pm EST through a god-awful titled special called The Decision? This must be the ego Beyonce was singing about it. Is it really that serious?! I really think My evil twin thinks that he'll not sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wouldn't that be a cruel thing to do on tv.... 

The best thing I've read all day is rapper Fabolous's tweets on the topic. It's just HIGHLARIOUS! Here's a sample:

1. BP #JustOfferedLebron free gas for life if he continues to take all the attention off the oil spill 
2. The Bulls #JustOfferedLebron a Bulls jersey with the number 23! Michael heard about it & said #thatsthatbullshit
3.  RT @MarkieTheMark: @myfabolouslife The Clippers #JustOfferedLebron Delonte West's moms. <--Oh shit
4.  The Nets #JustOfferedLebron a Best of Both Worlds 3 album wit JayZ if he signs 

Thanks for the laugh Fabo! For more, do follow Fabolous on twitter and follow us too!

Pierce, Say It Isn't So?!

I woke up this morning to the news that Celtics captain, Paul Pierce, is going to become a free agent at midnight. Noooooooooooooooo! Pierce has played for the Celtics his entire career and was quoted a few years ago saying he can't see himself retiring as anything but a Celtics. He will however talk first to the Celtics and see what they offer. Rumor is, according to WCVB Boston, he's looking at $33M over 4 years but at 33 years old, that's unlikely. Just don't play for your hometown (LA Lakers); you'll be such a traitor. Then again, the yearn for another championship ring may factor into his decision. I don't have a good feeling about this.

Work and World Cup = Sadness

Today was my first day back to work after almost 3 months of leave. The timing surely sucks now that I've caught the world cup fever. What particularly sucked today is the severe thrashing the North Koreans received at the hands of Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the Portugal team.

DAYUMN! 7-0??? What did North Korea do to deserve this Portugal?! DAYUMN! I'd be mindblasted if this beauty was running towards me with a ball ;-) Would have loved to see this live but, for now, I resort to highlights. Pay close attention at 2:40; too beautiful!

Sidenote: why is Tiago not man of the match and hottie of my life?!

Tomorrow will be especially hard due to the 4 big matches being played; Mexico, France, Argentina and Nigeria. It's a green and blue day but I'll have to go with a green sweater since I don't have a blue dress. Thank God for the dvr. I'll just have to ignore all news outlets until I watch the matches after work. All world cup lovers should be given 1 month paid time off every four years during world cup. Or at least allowed to work from home. This is just torture!

Fever - I Don't Have It

Here's the thing, I feel lonely. I feel used and abused then cast aside like a day old undie. Mother won't chat but calls to learn how to set the dvd recorder, friends won't return texts or calls. It's like I never existed. Damn the World Cup! Is this how it feels to be the only one without "the fever"? I remember being in Spain in 1998 just as the world cup was starting. Streets were empty! The game wasn't being held in Spain but in neighbouring France! Now imagine how it is in Africa. I can only bet that companies and government agencies on each continent apart from North America (excluding Mexico) will not expect much from their employees between now and July 11th. Might as well give everyone a month off! Capital FM Kenya put together this list of survival tips to live by during this one month. Take heed; I have already failed step one.

1. From 11 June to 11 July 2010, you should read the sport pages so you are aware of what's going on regarding the World Cup and will be able to join in conversations. If you fail to do this, you'll be looked at in a bad way or be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.
2. During the World Cup the television is mine, mine, mine at all times without any exceptions.

3. I don't mind if you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand naked in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I won't have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.

4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute - unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor....it won't happen.
