Junk Drawer 06/24/09- Dreaming Edition

twiggs — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:38:13 -0000

Last night I had this dream that I was playing video poker and won $120,000 (playing nickels I might add). It was awesome. I was going to be able to pay off my debts, put down a ton of money on a home and buy a new car. Then of course, I woke up and realized that I am still in debt and not anywhere close to being able to buy a house or new car…it was quite the disappointment.

So I ask you Bedgers, what is the most realistic dream that you have ever had? Were you disappointed to wake up and realize that it was all a fake? Or did you wake up relieved for the life you do have? Or maybe just enlighten us with the weirdest dream you have ever had so we can attempt to analyze it (I have some crazy weird dreams).

Happy Wednesday ya’ll

Umm...what's going on here Blake?

So Jorga originally posted this but it got lost in the shuffle.

Junk Drawer 11/20/08- Euphoric Edition

Since I was already in a post game euphoria, what better way to top it off than this picture (for me anyhow)?

OK, so last nights game rocked. I love being at the Rose Garden. Especially when I get to go to the game in one of the executive suites, have free food and beer, and watch the Blazers beat the crap out of the Bulls.

Today is just another Thursday for most, but the start of a three day weekend for me. Then next week, I only have to work 3 days because of Thanksgiving. I can’t wait to get up at a ridiculous hour the day after Thanksgiving to go Christmas shopping. Every year I say I will do it, and always sleep in instead. Not this year though! Nothing will stop me…I may even get up early enough to attend the Fred Meyer "sock sale".

So with the holiday around the corner where we give our thanks… what are YOU most thankful for this Blazers season?

Pacer's Blog: First Jarrett Jack impressions

It's a quick read, but looks like Jack is keeping them happy over in Indy. Spread some love on their site if you head over there. The blog writer is great but doesn't have much of a fan base :)

Junk Drawer 11/05/08- The morning after

The day after….

There are always going to be disappointed people after an election happens. I hope that we can understand as a group that certain folks did not get what they wanted last night... whether it was the presidental election or local election.

And out of a lot people on this site (besides TiH) I am one person who has not really expressed my views, nor will I on this blog. I hate discussing politics on a sports site, so I am posting this in a junk drawer for the following reasons.

I hope we can all just get along as a country after all the crap that has been going on and that the personal jabs on this site will stop, at least for a little while. Is that too much to ask? Probably. I’m sure that the political discussions will never actually stop, because I’m sure someone in office will do something to make people mad and it will begin all over again. So before this happens, let’s all try to be friends :)

On a more basketball related note, anyone watch that Boston/Houston game in between taking breaks from the election? Well I did, and I am growing increasingly irritated with the Celtics. I already completely disliked them, yet my hatred just keeps getting bigger! I don’t think anything in particular happened other than their winning that irritated me. I just can’t stand watching them play. I can’t stand any of their "Big 3". I actually enjoyed watching them struggle a bit last night against Houston throughout most of the game (there was a ton of lead changes in that game). So I decided to peruse the Celtic’s blog on SBN. Man, since they merged with the other blog, their site is hoppin! They actually have fanposts from the last couple of days with (get this) COMMENTS! Wow...

As the Indiana Pacers ambassador, I am struggling a little bit with gathering any news. We all know by now they had quite a win against Boston the other night. Danny Granger signed an extension (details unknown). Our good friend Jarrett Jack has been putting up similar numbers as a Pacer as he did as a Blazer.

Miss those eyebrows? I know I do.

Junk Drawer 10/30/08- Trolling Free Edition (or so I hoped)! Now featuring: The long awaited Fatty appearance~

twiggs — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:45:07 -0000

OK first things first. I am just as upset as everyone else about what has happened. In fact, I was on Bedge for more hours yesterday than I worked awaiting the official news. However, in all honesty the news could have been a lot worse than it was. The match ups that we were all looking forward to in the next few weeks(Duncan, Shaq, etc) will happen again this year. We wont hear his name called in the starting linup tomorrow night like we had hoped. But we will get through this guys! We will have a great season, barring any more injuries (cursed statement, I know). Tomorrow nights game will still be fun to watch (ummm…let’s hope the rest of the team actually plays).

Of all the things that bugged me the most yesterday, it came down to the trollers on this site! What happened in a 24 hour period here on Bedge??? Good lordy! Of course I fell into their trap and got ANGRY with their comments made. Finally I had to stop commenting back. One game into the season and 20 different posts about Oden…it’s enough to drive a person (ME!) crazy. So, can we take some time off today and discuss how great and fun tomorrow night’s game is going to be?

McFadden’s to anyone who wants to meet up prior to the game at 5:00 pm. I know Sophia, Andy, myself and TiH will for sure be there….how about you?

And DON’T FORGET TO WEAR RED to the game tomorrow night!

So Fatty has made an appearance for those of you who cared and waited a year with baited breath.

Hello from Blazers Land!

twiggs — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 21:00:58 -0000

Hello Cornrows Bloggers...

My name is twiggs, and I am officially a Blazer's Edger. We all like to visit other SBN sites and catch up on news across the league.

I want to know with the season just around the corner, what are your expectations for the Pacers this season? Do you feel that you are playoff bound? How many wins are you expecting out of your team?

I am also curious about player movements. What are your thoughts of Jarrett Jack thusfar (since he is a former Blazer, inquiring minds want to know). What are your feelings about Brandon Rush? Are you glad that the trade happened with the Blazers, or were you set on having Bayless on your team?

I hope we can all converse this season about our teams, especially when we are set to play each other. After review of the schedule, looks like we aren't set to play until March, so I'm sure we will all talk prior to then!

Good luck this season!
