Kobe and the Lakers

Alright, the last few years I've been slackin' off when it comes to keepin' up with the Lakers. I guess I use to have a life :) Well, this year I'm finally back on track and what a year to do so. While the Lakers are just over .500, Kobe (the reason for me becoming a Lakers fan) is having an amazing season. He just tied a record that Wilt Chamberlain has held for over 40 years. That being he has scored 45+ points in 4 consecutive games. Not even Micheal Jordan could do that. Yes, I am bias, but I've got reason to be. Look at this guy. He's good. After last night's game against the Pacers, Indiana's coach, Rick Carlisle said this about Kobe: "Hey, the guy's at the top of his game. We're witnessing true greatness. It's a rare opportunity to see a guy perform at this level." I haven't gotten to watch a game yet, but I've got the ESPN Gamecast up just about every night the Lakers are playing. It's not quite the same as watching the game on TV, but it will have to do until April when we're back in the US. Whether you're a fan or not, you've gotta admit that Kobe and the Lakers are worth watching this season if for no other reason than to see how many more records Kobe can accomplish. I know I'll be watchin'. much love Becky

It's Crazy to Me

It's crazy to me how one sin, no matter how big or small can keep a person down for so long. It's crazy to me that a person could let something in the past effect them so much without even realizin' what's goin' on. It's crazy to me that God chooses to use a person who is so dense. It's crazy to me that God doesn't give up on a person who has seemed to have given up on themself. It's crazy to me how God can and will use anything to get through to a person. It's crazy to me that everything can change just like that when a person stops doin' it themselves and gives it to God. It's crazy to me what Jesus Christ took upon himself on that cross so a person doesn't have to do it alone. It's crazy to me that a person would still choose to do it alone.

Not anymore. New semester. New year. New way of livin'.

Paul Wright's got it right.

I Hate Texas

Of course I say that losely. After all I did vote for George W. and I love the guy. Oh and have you ever been to Houston (I love those Astros) or Amarillo, I am a sucker for cow towns.
Okay back to the point. When it comes to the Unviversity of burnt down orange saxet, I don't like'em. Can't say I ever have. Sometimes when I think about Austin and the Longhorns I just get the chills. If you've ever been there and driven on that double decker expressway that goes right close to the campus then you'll have to agree that it could be compared to the two ways in to Mordor. So what if I'm a Lord of the Rings dork, read the books.
So like I said I hate saxet.
But for some reason I think I hate USC more. I don't know if its everybody druelling over them or if I just don't like that they beat us last year (thats all I will say about that, I have my pride). Offically I will say that it is because I am loyal to the Big 12. Usually that is lie I say that but really I hope the Horns lose. Not this time.
I am excited for them to win (quick mom take a picture it may never happen again). I would like nothing more than to see saxet, I hate typing the word texas, I have to maintain some level of disrespect, after all it is our biggest rival, embarrass the Trojans. Seriously, they should just go in to Pasadena, Vincey boy should ask for the Hiesman back and then saxet should just stomp all over those west coast beach bums. I want them to win.
Okay I am going to quit there cuz it truly is painful to feel this way about a team I hate.
Hope you all get to watch the game tonight I still haven't found a place. I think it will be one heck of a game.
Talk to you all later. (I think you are the only one that reads this stuff tina fey)

The Joys of Canada

Okay this is short but I am amazed by it so I thought that i would share with you. I ran to the store tonight just to see if there was anything that we needed that was on sale. This is my normal way to shop. Back to the story. I was looking around in the meat dept. and i saw ground beef for 97 cents a pound. There is no tax on food here so it really was just 97 cents a pound and its like 85% lean. Incredable. Just thought i would share that with you all cuz I am a dork.
Oh and i have to say to Tina Fey that i am sorry about the Hawkeyes. Nice comeback late sorry it wasn't quite enough.
