[tlongII]

1. My family. I love all of them dearly even if I have differences of opinion with some on occasion.

2. My health. I had a couple of unexpected surgeries this year, but all in all I'm still very healthy.

3. My buddies Chris, Chul, and Scott. We've been best friends since high school which is a LONG TIME!

4. My assorted lady friends who always keep my life "interesting."

5. My job. I feel blessed to make a good living at a place I identify with cuturally and spiritually.

6. My OSU season tickets. Best purchase I've ever made and now I might get to go to the Rose Bowl!

7. The Blazers. If you don't live in Portland you would have a hard time understanding just how connected we are to the Blazers. They are truly an integral part of our lives.

8. My family's vacation home in Sunriver. Gotta give that place props cuz I freakin' LOVE IT!

9. The natural beauty that is the state of Oregon. Mountains, ocean, desert, forest. It's got it all!

10. Smiles on people's faces.

[benefactor]

My first team was the Rockets before I became a Spurs fan...so I'm checking in as Rocket fan today.

1. Life...and the fact that I woke this morning to the miracle of breath in my lungs, two arms, two legs, two hands, two feet and the physical ability to come to work.

2. My wife...who has tolerated much more than she should have to from me. God truly blessed me with a soul mate.

3. My 10yr old daughter that I don't get to see enough(she lives with her mother). She is still in love with dad...and hopefully it stays that way as she is barreling head first toward Teenagerville.

4. My extended family. I am fortunate to have all 4 of my siblings, my parents and all 13 of my nieces and nephews within 20 miles of me.

5. My job. I have a great boss, great hours and the rest of the hospital staff is almost as crazy as the patients...which makes the day fun.

6. The Spurs. Pop, D-Rob, Tim, Tony, Manu...and our vast and colorful pool of role players we have had over the years. You are basketball the way it is supposed to be played. Thank you for all the hard work that has payed off and some.

7. My dog Memphis. No matter how bad my day has been, he is always there anxiously awaiting my arrival home. He brings me a lot of joy.

8. Really good food. The reason why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday is that a good meal is better to me than any present I could ever get. From great Tex-Mex at Posados to a blackened prime rib at Budros...great food is tough to top. I'll go ahead and put good beer in this catagory too.

9. All the bad things that have happened to me. They have only made me stronger and wiser.

10. Spurstalk...you help me enjoy one of the great loves in my life while providing interesting perspectives and sometimes strange forms of entertainment.

yes, she is.

I live in Paris so i see a lot of celebrities (french or international).

I was at a cafe with my girlfriend and she asked if they (she was with her mother) could sit with us. So we talked for like an hour before they had to go see Slumdog Millionaire.

[Bukefal]

Cool!

[Pistons < Spurs]

1. Family- I just visited my folks in Georgia a couple of weeks ago, and it was when I was leaving after a too short week, that I realized just how much I miss having them closer to me.

2. Job- The last year and a half has been brutal ... especially here in Michigan. I've seen so many acquaintances flat out lose their job ... and damn near any hope of finding a replacement. While I may not have the best job in the world nor make the most money, I've been extremely thankful to still be employed, and doing relatively well in comparison to others.

3. NBAtv- I just got it about 2 weeks ago! And while it's not all that special, I love being able to turn on the TV at any point and be able to watch something relating to the NBA.

4. Health- Sarah Palin warned me about Death Panels, so thankfully I haven't had any serious health issues.

5. Deeetroit Basketballlll- We may suck right now, but as a fan, the last 7 or 8 years have been a of a ride. From losing our franchise player when Grant Hill left ... in exchange for someone named Ben Wallce??!! ... to getting an underachiever journeyman in Chauncey Billups ... trading away our leading scorer Stackhouse for some scrawny looking young'n named Rip Hamilton. The drafting of a string bean from Kentucky who rode the pine his rookie year only to shut down T-Mac after his oh so premature 'it feels great to finally get past the fist round' comment in the postseason, only to be surpassed by the 'Block' on Reggie Miller. Shedding the hideous 'Teal Horse' jerseys, Darko drafted over Carmello, Ball Don't Lie frustration and comedy, Malice at the Palace, Lindsey Hunter continuing to be one of my all time favorite players, the re-birth of Antonio McDyess career post injury, Carlisle, LB and Flip. An NBA Championship, while also dismantling the Lakers Dynasty ... nearly repeating in an amazing 7 game series vs the Spurs, 6 straight ECF appearances, 8 straight playoff appearances and 7 straight 50 win seasons. I fully appreciate everything about this most recent era of Pistons ball. While some may complain about us underachieving the last few years of the run, I personally took none of it for granted and am thankful to have been able to live it all.

6. Internet Porn- I don't think you want details....

7. KC Chiefs Winning a Game- Going into this season I was worried that we night challenge the Lions record of a winless season!

8. Cash for Clunkers- ty program, but it put some much needed money back into the local region.

9. PistonTalk.com- Never would I have imagined upon registering on Jun 7, 2005 that nearly 5 years later would I still be an active member here at ST. Even less believable would be the concept of having a Pistons section on this very site. It's been my home ever since. The graciousness of Kori and LJ aswell as the acceptance of other Spurs fans has been beyond amazing. The Pistons section might not be as hopping as I hoped it would some day become, but it's the first and last site I check everyday. I don't know where I'd be to talk Pistons without PT.com

10. All members of the Armed Services and their Families- Putting all politics aside, I appreciate your sacrifices. I thank all the men and women who have served, fighting for our freedoms and Independence.

[bostonguy]

Here is my list. It isn't in exact order.


1.) My family. I love them all to death. I would do anything for them.

2.)My friends. Through good times and bad times, they have been their for me.

3.)This girl I am currently dating. She is awesome! We have been dating for almost 3 weeks.

4.)The ability to change my way of life to how I want it. I am at a peace of mind about who I am. I have made mistakes but they have lead me to this new mindset. I don't really set expectations anymore. I prepare for whatever happens. I stay happy with who I am and it brings a good feeling of stillness inside of me.

5.) The Boston Celtics. I am so grateful I got to watch them win a championship. I was 3 years old when they won their 16th le so I got to be a big part of the dark years. I loved the trades to land KG/Ray Allen to this day. Even if this window is shut, the risk was well worth it. 2007-2008 was a great year.

6.)The Boston Red Sox. I watched them fall to the Yanks year after year. 2004 was so special. Winning the alcs in that fashion was amazing. I got so wasted the night they beat the yanks in game 7. It felt like a championship. Then a week later they won the world series. 2007 also kicked ass. I am glad I got to watch them win 2 world series in my lifetime.

7.) The New England Patriots. 1996-97 was such a tough year. Losing to the Packers in the superbowl. Pats were an average team until Bledsoe got injured. Tom Brady lead the Pats to their first superbowl that year. My personal favorite journey was 2004-2005 season. I loved that team so damn much. Funnest superbowl road for me.

8.)My freedom. I am glad I have that.
9.)My health.

10.)Spurstalk.com. This site is so diverse which is what makes it so badass.
