Most days I wear the same pair of worn in boots and somehow every three months I tear a gaping hole in the back of my jeans. I could, and often do, eat mexican food, breakfast, or a combination thereof three meals a day. I way too much money on music, movies, books, comicbooks, and newspapers. I have a deep and abiding love (to the point where it might classify for a DSM-IV classification) for 60's soul, british invasion, the faces, Neko Case, and the 'Mats. I've found that it's the hardest of hustles trying to keep both my room and car clean at the same time. I have an exceptional medium range jump shot, have a devastating first step when going to my right, though I can't go to my left, and absolutely have no range beyond 18 feet. I only like baseball when it's played out doors. I prefer single screen movie theaters to the multiplex. I eat my post movie pie ala mode. My favorite all time NBA team (a tie between) the 92-93 Suns and the 93-94 Sonics that effing lost in the first round to the gatdang Nuggets; player, Gary Payton; and single game, Game 7 of the 2004 Western Conference semi finals when,on his birthday, KG put up 32 points, 21 rebounds, 5 blocks, 4 steals, 3 assists, and even made his lone shot from behind the arc.

Lastly, I've had a longstanding firm belief that the point guard is the most important position on an winning basketball team; and that when the position is played well it's as pure of a manifestation of divine grace as we'll experience on earth outside of Coltrane's "love supreme, mid 1960's Ann-Margret or Sophia Loren, Puckett on August 30, 1987, or a bottle of 40 year old Glenfiddich.
