my life

i am a husband. i am a father of three. i work with computers all day. and enjoy it. i listen to live 105 and ksjs. i have one eyebrow as do my two sons - you're welcome. i am at a larger company now and i need to find out where i stand in the basketball rankings. i suffer from medically-confirmed memory loss. my calves are most likely bigger than yours. i own and operate a macbook pro, but i have to use a lenovo at work now. lame.

leon powe owns the lakers

game 2 of the nba finals were tonight and a certain bay area high school and college basketball star further extended the misery of la lakers fans everywhere. not only do lakers fans have to deal with kobe’s crybaby antics and yellow/purple team colors, but now they had this former oakland tech and cal bears stud to contend with. it’s nice to see him succeed considering his upbringing. you can read more about it on wikipedia.

leon kinda looks like me on the little tikes hoop.
