Before I use this space to delve into those, I would like to write about the inaccurate reports of my demise as a basketball player and my receding love for the game. Two or three Fridays ago, I had the misfortune of playing basketball on the same team as four bum niggers. These were people that walked into the gym with masks below their noses. They wore crocs and walked slower than most people’s grandmas. During the twenty minutes that it took them to put their shoes on, they lazily debated about the Lakers and how they could be better. These were dumb people. The kind of people that had two family members die of COVID.
So I had the misfortune of being stuck on their team and it was so bad that it made me question my ability and desire to play basketball.
Fast-forward to this past Friday and all is right in the world. This time, before I played, I did those tennis ball dribbling drills where you toss a tennis ball in the air and try to do a crossover before catching the tennis ball as it comes back down. I was making a mess of it at first but as I did it more, I regained proficiency. Let me be clear, absolutely no one does those tennis ball drills. I used to do them and I’m not sure why I stopped. They’re a much better warm-up than shooting. They force you to bend down and there’s probably something about overloading your brain with the tennis ball catching while simultaneously dribbling a basketball that gets you ready to play good.
One of the reasons I think that people don’t do the tennis ball warm-up is that it makes you look like an absolute fool. Dropping the tennis ball every which way. People have a big problem with looking like a putz. Anyways, my team finally is up to play and I’m excited. Smiling because I finally get to play basketball after waiting around for the rest of the schmucks to finish their sloppy games. On my team is a taller guy who whenever I play with, we dominate because if you have two people that are of similar size and conditioning to me, winning basketball games at 24 Hour Fitness is easy. However, the three other people are five-six and under. These are grown men who are that diminutive. That’s not great. On top of that, none of them are prolific three-point shooters, fast or strong. This is a problem. One of them was good at passing me the ball when I outran the other team in transition and another two made threes in the first game. We won the first and lost the second. We won the first because I was doing things like ripping the ball out of the opponent’s hands and taking it to our basket for a layup. Sometimes there would be a couple defenders at the rim but whatever. My team overwhelmed the team we played first and won easily in a way that must have made the opponents sad because it was embarrassing. Then the second game comes around and my friend and I are kinda tired from having to get every rebound and create every point. The guy that’s good at passing starts to think that maybe he should shoot more and pass less and the other two guys do absolutely nothing besides let their man score when they get the ball. We lose that game. That’s fine, the first game was fun and I don’t expect myself to carry three midgets to multiple wins. It’s fine, I won’t have an existential crisis about my ability as a basketball player from a day like that.
Oh, and another thing. I was watching this big, white, stiff guy play and the thought occurred to me. To get separation and drive by defenders, it’s better to step back and then step forward. The step back allows you to survey your defender’s positioning and gives you space to accelerate by them. This white guy was just going side to side and wasn’t getting by anyone. He wasn’t creating space. When I got up to play, I tried the dribble step back and it helped me get by people. Just a little epiphany I had on the basketball court. Like how I realized that you’re supposed to step forward with the opposite foot from the hand you are using to dribble to maintain balance.
Now, about the guns and the kids and the violence. I’m reading a Forbes article about the gun business and you know what? All of the businesses that surround guns are the real booming businesses! All of the security systems people buy. All of the scarecrow security people that businesses hire. All of the things that make people feel safe are the real winners in the gun game. This revelation was fascinating to me. It reminded me of the homelessness “business” in the state of California where people start having these well-paid jobs to eradicate something that would lead to their job no longer being necessary. These might be described as conflicting motives.
Most of the money that gun manufacturers make are from government contracts to purchase weapons, not from your next door neighbor buying three Glocks and an AK. I forget the actual numbers, and I won’t be bothered to look it up, but the home security business is much larger than the gun business. The whole thing about surrounding businesses being larger than the root business is interesting to me. One of the things that was seared into my mind as an elementary-schooler was that the people that made the most money off of the Gold Rush were the people that sold shovels.
All of this makes me think of the disgusting way that people in America view pets. How they talk to them like other people. How they hold them like they’re some kind of inanimate teddy bear. How they feed them things like chicken because dog food isn’t good enough for them. Pets are a disease that’s taking over America. People feel dissatisfied with their lives and they get a pet to be the friend or the living, breathing stuffed animal that they can touch. It really triggers me when people talk to their dogs like they’re another person. Oh, and the whole thing about letting your dog sniff another dog while their both on a leash is beyond retarded to me. I hate watching people have their dogs make knots of their leashes while the owners make these fake smiles and high-pitched sounds. It’s a faggy way to interact with another person and when their ill-behaved dogs start viciously barking, it makes me want to smash their face in the ground. The best pet is no pet.
What does the pet industry surround? I’m not sure but it’s a measure people take to run away from their own dissatisfaction with their lives and I can’t stand it. People should get pets if they need the animal to do a job. Like herd sheep or protect a chicken coop from foxes. Not so that people can talk to them in a way similar to how we talk to babies.
There aren’t a lot of female leaders and sometimes I wonder if there is a reason beyond the whole child-birth thing. Like, what if guys are just better at leading other people? Women are better at some things than guys but I feel like it’s a big taboo to mention that the reverse is probably also true. Meg Whitman made eBay. Shout out to her for making one of the best companies. She would have been a much better governor of California than Gavin Newsom. Oh well, Gavin Newsom is handsome and Ms. Whitman didn’t vote for a long time so she’s not allowed to hold public office. Too bad.
If this whole software thing works out and I get a work visa to work in another country, I will officially be a superGenius. Some people, I talk to and it’s apparent that they are very dumb. Maybe that’s all because they’re parents did dumb things when they raised them like not read to them. Generally, I’m very skeptical of the notion that people are inherently smarter than other people. Maybe their upbringing made it impossible to not be a mouth-breathing retard, but if they were raised different then they would probably not be so brain-dead.
There is a turf workout area in a lot of gyms and for the life of them, people can not bring themselves to face a different direction than where everyone else is facing. I’ll try to explain this. Typically people line up their mats and do whatever bullshit they’re doing. They will all face the same direction. No one will flip their mat sideways, even if it gives them more room to move around. God forbid anyone who turns themselves in a diagonal direction. That is sacrilegious and against God’s Will. Anyone that faces diagonally while everyone else is aligned vertically is a psychopath serial-killer. You know what else this reminds me of? Yes, mask-wearing in grocery stores where no one is actively enforcing any rules. People just have to act like everyone else. Even if what everyone else is doing is stupid. It’s comforting knowing that you can’t be identified as someone who is sticking out from the mob.
No one will complain about the Trader Joe’s faggot nigger. Probably not even me but my goodness, it would be nice if he wasn’t so flamboyant. Wearing the tightest clothes possible and rolling up his shirt sleeves when he’s arranging produce. Screw that guy. He makes shopping there not as fun as it could be. I hope he gets full-blown AIDS.
People that use treadmills when it’s not raining outside are douchebags.
No, if you visit Southern California you’re just going to have to accept that there will be smelly homeless people loitering outside businesses and restaurants, asking you for money or weed. If you don’t like it, you’re going to have to do something about it yourself because law enforcement won’t do dick about it.
I didn’t watch a lot of the football games. I watched most of the one that really mattered but here are the notes I have from what I did watch.
Titans-Bengals: Derrick Henry was selfish to come back from breaking his foot to play in this game. He was very bad. The Bengals offensive line should be mortified. Jamarr Chase is an amazing football player. I’m an idiot for picking the Titans.
Packers-49ers: Fuck you Aaron Rodgers. You’re a piece of shit. How do you not win this game?! I liked you and wanted you to do great things during this postseason but you melted down like you always do. Fuck Aaron Rodgers.
Bucs-Rams: I only watched the YouTube video that recapped the final few minutes and that was probably allI needed to see. Man, it’s tough to see my guy Tom Brady not win the game after coming back like that but hey, the Rams were dominating that game and deserved to win. I’m happy to see a white guy like Cooper Kupp dominate at a position typically earmarked for blackies. I’m also happy for OBJ. I love when he dyes his hair white obviously.
Bills-Chiefs: Holy fuck. I watched pretty much all of it and I stopped after the Bills scored their last touchdown with 13 seconds left because I was going to make dinner for someone. I start cooking and I see that the Chiefs scored a field goal to send it to overtime and I’m like, “WTF?!?!”. So I put the game back on my computer and then I walk in between preparing things to see that Travis Kelce caught the game-winning touchdown. Incredible. The Chiefs seemed to have an easier time scoring and were probably the better team but man, Josh Allen is a superhero. I was pulling for him because wow, does he put the team on his back. He is incredible and I’m embarrassed to have compared him to Zoom stock. He is here to stay. Tyreek Hill is the best receiver in the NFL. I love watching him play. He does the step back to create space and he’s so fast that he can run by everyone when he gets space. He is so fun to watch. He never gets blown up with big hits. Tyreek should be given an eternal pardon against domestic violence. He deserves the privilege of beating up his girlfriend. It’s not like she’s going to do anything noteworthy. Patrick Maholmes’ nickname is now “The Grim Reaper”. He is a devastating force of destruction and death.
Last week I was 0-4. 4-6 in the playoffs.
CHIEFS 🏹 (-7) over Bengals 🐯-
Chiefs. The Bengals settle for too many field goals.
RAMS 🐏 (-3.5) over 49ers ⛏ -
Rams. I think the 49ers are kind of fraudulent. The Packers got flaccid in the cold and that won’t be a thing in Los Angeles. The Rams offense is so much better than the Niner’s offense.
