This past game against BC and this game so far is about what I expected all season.

Right? I hear complaints about Cassell being dark, but this is something else

I want to burn the MicroTouch Solo company to the ground.

Well, this is not going as hoped

Happening to me too

An accident investigator said that the helicopter reached a climbing height of 2,300 feet to avoid a cloud layer, then in plunged 1,000 feet into the hillside.

That, and imagine being the parents of the kids on the helicopter with them....knowing that there is a good chance you are all about to die, but having to be strong and comfort the child, the child that you brought into the world, and are about to go out of the world with, knowing they had a whole lifetime ahead of them. Must have been agonizing for them.

Slept on it. This news hit me a lot harder than I imagined it would. I have never been a Lakers fan, but I always admired Kobe's game, but more importantly, seeing what he has been building post-retirement is really admirable. I think this is partly why it is hitting me so hard, knowing the impact he has had, and was still having on lots of lives, and thinking how that work was really just getting started, he was bound for greatness off the court.

Also a part of it is him being only 4 years older than me, back when I was playing HS ball, looking up to him breaking on to the scene, dreaming about having that kind of skill in a sport I loved so dearly.

And lastly, I think the biggest part of it is seeing how devoted of a father he was. He loved those girls and was raising them right. Now 3 girls have to grow up without their dad and big sis, and his wife has to go on having lost not only her husband, but her oldest child in one tragic moment. It is beyond heartbreaking to think about. I only have 1 child, but I cannot even begin to imagine losing both my wife and my son in the same moment.

Not to mention the kids on the flight who had their whole lives ahead of them, and the other families who lost their loved ones in a seemingly avoidable tragedy.

This one hurts. For a lot of reasons. RIP Kobe.

Commentator calling Bede "Abede" driving me nuts

Well damn, I was by no means on the tall side compared to everyone else in my school. Granted, I was taller than a good amount of the kids at my school, but it seemed like there were just as many taller than me too

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
