Forgot What I Was Gonna Say

I had a specific subject I was going to talk about but I suddenly forgot what it was when I started this entry. I always thought that was so weird. Like you’re thinking about something and before you say or write it, it just completely drops out of your mind. Bad neurons or something?

I think this might have been what I was thinking about - the bad USA olympic basketball team. They suffered a pathetic loss to Italy in an exhibition game yesterday. Just look at the team roster. There’s a bunch of rookies and young players. VERY few superstars. Half the players on the team have never even won a playoff series. This is what we’re sending to the Olympics against the world’s best? There should be some clause in NBA contracts requiring good players to go to the Olympics and World Basketball Championship if called up. Stupid players these days are all about money. They just don’t want to get injured in Olympic competition. What happened to being the best basketball country in the world? The days of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkely, etc. were truely the days of the Dream Team.

I’ve been so busy these days. After work I just want to relax. Then I have to run all these errands on weekends. And oh yea, I’m overweight. My weight to height ratio is a little too high. I went for a checkup last week and I weighed 186 lbs. That’s the heaviest I’ve ever been! But I expected it though. STUPID ARM INJURY! I couldn’t exercise at all. With summer classes, working on my projects in my room, coming back to NYC and working, all I’ve been doing is SITTING AROUND all day. I have got to develop a serious workout regimen when I get back to school. I gained 16 pounds this summer! Sigh.. 186..
