Gee Wiz!

How bad are the Wizards at basketball?  I recognized 1 of their starting 5 players.  They don't have any one player of note who actually dresses and plays (Hibatchi is out).  And, the Wiz's home arena was filled by about 504 people, slightly less than the capacity of 24,000+  Embarassing, yes?  The Wiz are so bad that they actually pay  a player named Andray (yes, that's how he spells it) Blatch tons of money, when the guy couldn't name the last letter in the alphabet when asked on camera.

The reason for me berating this Wiz is this.  I am scheduled to go to the game this Saturday when the Wiz face the Pistons.  I bought these tickets some time ago, when I still held out some home that the Stones could turn it aroud, but that looks unlikely.  Anyways, I got home from work last night, was about to go running when my roommate walked in and asked if I wanted to go to the game that night.  He had gotten a few tickets from his firm at work that weren't being used.  The seats were very good, but, when watching the Wiz (a bad team) play the Bobcats (a worse team), the entertainment value is not that great.  

And it didn't disappoint early.  The Wiz were down 20 before the end of the first half!  The crowd was booing, well, those who were there, and the excitement was less than palpable.  The silence conspicuous.  But, then something remarkable happened...THE WIZ WOKE UP!

WIth what seemed like little effort defensively by the Bobcats, the Wiz stormed all the way back and ended up winning the game!  I only hope that they can repeat this performance Saturday!

In other news, work is work, class is class, and the Spartans are in the Sweet 16!  I have A TON of work to complete this weekend, which is unfortunate (and difficult without at computer machine).  There are only 3 weeks left on my crazy semester here in DC.  After that, well, we will see.  My resume is moderately strong at best, but I don't even know what kind of jobs that I want.  Growing up sucks.  Stay in college.  I think I look back on all the things I failed at in college and that makes right now even worse.  MAybe, if I had studied more instead of doing something else, I never would have even had to change majors, I could've been set on the pre-med path, and all of that.  Now, I don't really have a path.  I just am.  Man, that was really deep.

It's cold and rainy here...
