How is everyone?
Hi guys and gals!
Been awhile since I've been here, had to register again and all that good stuff, but I'm happy to be one of your favorite "trolls" again.
Been really busy. Bought a new home in Lake Forest, CA, paid entirely too much. Busy getting things together, and working my butt off.
Ventured into a side business with a friend of mine, trying to get that off the ground. Opened a store in RENO as well. Name of the place is "The Sports-Minded" and our website, (that needs lots of work) is
www.thesportsminded.com. If anyone needs anything by way of sporting goods equipment, feel free to let me know, I'll help ya out all I can.
As for my sporting life, well, at least SC is undefeated, and going for another National Title. Nice to see Matt Leinart win the Heisman last night too!
As for my Lakers... well, not sure what to say. Kobe Bryant sure hasn't acted like my favorite Laker lately, that's for sure. Constant crap going on, and now this tiff with Malone. Unreal. New team is different, that's for sure, and it's pretty easy to see we won't be competing for any titles anytime soon, much to your shagrin, I'm sure. I was cool with the moves they made though, and Shaq, even if I loved the guy, I'm glad he's gone. Nice to see him get in shape for his new team, considering if Buss had paid him a measly 30 mil, he'd have shown up as a fat slob, as usual. I don't want to "become the Chicago Bulls" so if these are our rebuilding years, I'm on board. I tell ya, some of my favorite years of being a Laker fan were pre Shaq days, and after Magic had left. Young teams that bite and scratched in the playoffs, and pulled off an upset here and there. Geez, back then, I could afford a $40 playoff seat at the Fabulous Forum. Those days are definately gone!
Anyways, life is pretty good. Wife and I are doing fine, trying to get everything together for Christmas... you know, the normal life junk.
Well, obviously our rivalry aint what it was, but I still get that tingle watching them slug it out.
Okay, I've yapped enough. Wanted to say hi to everyone, and I'm hoping everyone is doing well. I'll be in here more often to see what's up, but in case I forget to say it, hope you all have a great Christmas, and of course, best wishes for the New Year.
Take care all!
