First Post Jitters

 A great man once said "writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape madness."


I couldn't agree more Mr. Greene.


The past fifteen or so months have been a whirlwind in my corner of the world. I took a leap of faith and left the company I had been with for over a decade. I went through the highs and lows of a serious relationship starting and ending. I've been ripped from my comfortable stance of head-in-the-sand towards the grown-up world of politics and social issues. I'm now broke and alone, searching for purpose in an increasingly dark world. Jesus and my family are the flotation devices I cling to while I seemingly watch humanity spiral down a maelstrom.


So I write. As Graham Greene said. As a form of therapy. To escape madness.


Despite the cynicism displayed in the previous paragraph I actually am hopeful and happy. There are sparks in my spirit, like I'm striking flint against steel, and Jesus is fanning the flame. If I can stay focused on Him... He may just light a fire inside me the world has never seen.


Anyways, this blog is meant to be my attempt at writing out all the things bouncing around my over-active mind. On any given day I could have a random LeBron James statistic, a profound quote from one of my favorite movies, an opinion I wish I could voice on the current political landscape, all ricocheting off the walls of my brain like the DVD logo on the old pause menu.


Now I've got somewhere to unleash these ideas.


So if you enjoy any of these topics:

- Sports

- Video Games

- Movies and TV

- Music

- Politics

- History

- Dating Life

- Food

- Other random things that pop into my head


....or maybe you're in a similar spot in your life- reeling from personal decisions that has you picking up the pieces and trying to find your way past... then please follow me and we can figure it out together.


One silly blog post at a time.



Thanks for reading.

NBA Season Preview 2025-2026

 One of the many subjects that I'm constantly going on and on about in my head is my favorite sport- basketball. I play it, I watch it, and I think about it. So in today's post I'll be giving my thoughts on each team and my expectations for them going into this year. They'll be split into tiers with other teams I have similar standards for. Let's start with the best of the best and go from there. Tier 1 - "Championship Favorites": Expect them to win it all or come damn close. My championship favorite: Denver Nuggets Nikola Jokic was one helpful teammate away from possibly stealing last year's series away from the eventual champions, and now he might have what he needs. With the additions of Cam Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas, Bruce Brown, and Tim Hardaway Jr. the Nuggets have upgraded their bench and replaced a starter nearly beat-for-beat if not fully upgrading. I expect another dominant season from Jokic and with the newly acquired depth they should be a...

NBA Awards Finalists Projections

 Well, I've given you my guesses on how each team will fare this season, and I've given you who I think are the top ten players in the league. Now I'm going to give you who I think will win all of the major individual awards for the upcoming 25-26 campaign and compare them to ESPN's choices. Most Improved Player: Amen Thompson (ESPN's choice: Amen Thompson and Matas Buzelis tied) The dynamic athleticism and defensive tenacity of Amen gained him a lot of fans during the Rockets impressive 24-25 campaign which saw them win the second seed in a very competitive Western Conference. With the loss of Fred Van Vleet to a season ending injury, expect Amen to be given more responsibility ball handling and scoring. Those extra touches, in addition to the space that will be created by the presence of new teammate Kevin Durant, project a higher potential for impact on the game and therefore should result in him making a dramatic leap. Dark horse for MIP: Alperen Sengun Amen...
