Alright kids, Let's get down with the sickness!
I am a wicked boring dude. I've got very little to report.

I went to a Sonics game on Saturday. It was the first time I've been to a Sonics game in a long time where they didn't lose. It seems like I only go to games when they play Portland too. Weird.

The Sonics have a guy on their team named Robert (Bob) Swift. This is hilarious to me since I also have a friend named Bob Swift (Pictured below as Abe Lincoln). Not only do I have a friend with the same name as this guy, but that friend also works at Best Buy in Northgate and has engaged in some light stalking of the like-named professional basketball player. (ok, so that's an exaggeration. I should point that out before Bob reads this and threatens to pummel me with his perfectly maintained guns.)Bob is a rad dude. If you're ever at Best Buy in Northgate and you see a super excited burly dude with 2 arms full of tatoos, that's Bob. Ask him about Star Trek. Or the benefits of being a Pizza Wolf.

"I hope you left room for my fist because I'm going to reach into your stomach and pull out your spine!"

I guess that quote sounds way better when said with a heavy Austrian accent.

"Maria Shriver, I must see more bone structure!"

Yeah, making fun of Ahnold isn't as much fun in print. Maybe that's how he beat that Bustamante guy.

I went to Sneaker City on Saturday. "The Shrink Wrap Shoe Store." It only took me like 50 attempts since they have the most retarded hours ever. 10am-6pm? Where do we live? Nobody-works-during-the-day land? Lame. That store rules though. They've got all the shoes you could ever want. Good thing I finally went there ten minutes before I move away.

I got me some shoes:

Yeah, yeah. Scenester shoes. Whatever. They're the most comfortable shoes you'll ever buy. They come in so many nice colors.

The Puma Clyde. The ones I got aren't exactly like these. The stripe is black and the sole is a little bit different, but they're basically the same. Maybe they're actually FrankenClydes, but they still don't look exactly like those either. Apparently Puma wants to pretend the original Clydes never existed because they're impossible to find on the Puma website. Bastards. Maybe they've just stopped producing them. That would be a shame. Puma still has more shoes that I'd wear than any other shoe company. Oh well. Here's all of their current shoes. If only I was rich.

Oh yeah. On Saturday I also went to the Pike Place Market. I don't remember what the point of that trip really was. Maybe we just decided to go there since it's basically right across the street from Sneaker City. There was some panhandler there who was playing guitar and some weird multi-level flute thing at the same time. He was actually pretty good. He even had cd's for sale and a sign that said he was looking to hire musicians. I'm sure every professional musicican in the world dreams of playing inthe freezing drizzle at Pikes Market.

I just did a google search for the word "flute" because I was looking for a picture of the weird thing he was playing. I found this picture. Hilarious.
