My poor roommate Trent has some difficulties understanding the rules of the game of basketball.  In order to help him further his education, I have decided to repost a few rules of basketball here:

1. Blocking- impeding the progress of an opponent by extending one or both arms horizontally or getting in the path of a moving player.

Found an ad for a person’s blog on my site today.  I use Google Adsense to randomly place ads on my blog.  Look at the screenshot below:

I have not been posting frequently lately as I have been incredibly busy with work.

A few random updates on my life though:

1. Reading “The History of Western Philosophy” by Bertrand Russell
2. My room is growing messier due to my workload
3. Basketball ability is rapidly improving, especially my big man game
4. Having Tara visit this coming weekend
5. New friends galore: business associates, basketball players, friends of friends, randoms
6. Failed to keep practicing guitar, need more time
7. Socrates was fascinating, as was Plato

I received the following email from a major figure in the Christian religion following the article in AOL about my prayer for sale website:

Hi Joel-

Have you ever felt a bit down but you know its temporary so its not as bad?

Today is February 7th, an occasion for two big celebrations: my birthday and the Super Bowl.  I am having a bunch of my LA buddies over to watch the game & feast.

Super Bowl Prediction: Colts win 28-21
