But in order to get to this point, I have to look at how the hell would I scope this thing out so people will read this thing. On one end, of course I want to stay true to myself and write something that I'm genuinely interested in--things that I have a passion for and can develop a unique perspective on. But, the counter point, all that effort is wasted space if the only people willing to take time out of their day to read my dribble include the Logo Chick, and friends who I will probably hassle through Facebook wall posts. "Hey dude, check my link out. Leave a comment." Then, "Hey, you haven't left a comment yet, did you read it?" Then, "Hey idiot, check your wall, I posted a few posts down, read my blog." And finally, "Lebron's Mom might have slept with Delonte West. Read it here."... Success.
The second period of the game is being dominated by the Blackhawks. They are bigger, faster, and more physical. They remind me of the giant Iceland squad in the Mighty Ducks 2. Only the Sharks don't have the 'bash brothers' and where is Kenny Woo to save us?
So I'll spare the noobs from reading my full bio, instead opting to insert random anecdotes in future entries. But the quick and dirty goes like this... I'm in my late 20's. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, but live in San Jose now. Like a true Los Angeles fan, being a sports fan is like being at the buffet, you can pick and choose teams as you please. I'm all about the Lakers, the Dodgers are OK, I try to rationale whether the Kings are relevant post-Gretzky, and I openly desire the turn around of the Clippers. But being in the Bay Area, I have an appreciation for being a true fan of a team even when the chips never seem to fall in place, e.g. Warriors fans. I follow the Sharks in the Playoffs, and football? My football loyalty has been shaky at best. I blame it on not having a local team, and a father who enjoyed cheering for parlays and money lines more than the teams themselves. But let's go with the Chargers, and a growing affection for the 9ers.
My passions also delve into a desire to be a part of the music industry. I am a hip hop head through and through, but enjoy all types of music, from the pop to the not. I wanted to join Kaba Modern, from America's Best Dance Crew fame, many many years before any 12-18 year olds caught a glimpse of them on the TV show. I've completely delusion-ed myself to thinking that I would have been on the team, if it weren't for the mishap of UC Irvine thinking the school was better than me. No son, I'm better than you.
So my goal is to infuse music culture and sports, the same way Lebron and Jay-Z bonded and created their friendship. I'll throw in random crap that I think might be relevant, and sometimes throw stuff that might not be.. just so I could say I tried to make it work. So that's it.
*Update, I took a break from posting and came back. Chicago, just like in the MD2, team Iceland won the first encounter. Sharks take a 0-1 position in the series. Shots of the Chicago team fill my TV screen, glorious chipped teeth and all. I give Logo Chick back the remote and engross myself back into my blog. Maybe this post will fare better. Only time will tell. Welcome to the world of Logo Dude's Words.
