I'm totally digging the Eragon Series. Reading book #2: Eldest. Good, good, good, good!!

Whoooooaaaa...It's been so long.

What's trending right now for Ms. Samel--
1. Wikileaks
2. The Cataracs and Dev
3. Blake Griffin
4. Duke College Basketball
5. New niece ( Satiya--born the day before Thanksgiving :0] )

NBA players leaving

Okay, so from the CAVS:
1. Lebron James (obviously)
2. Big Z
3. Delonte West
4. Sebastien Telfair

From the Lakers--just heard this morning:
1. Powell going to the Atlanta Hawks

A Really Bad Week...

I'm sure you've already heard last week, Lebron James left the CAVS to go to the Heat. I was disappointed and a bit angry at first. But you know what? He's right. He's been with the CAVS for 7 years and his dream of getting a championship ring never came into fruition. So why not do what's best for you and go elsewhere? I AM glad however, that he decided to join D-Wade. Dwyane Wade is awesome. I'll reserve my judgement on
Chris Bosch, though.

MAXIMUM RIDE series

O.M.G.

Alright, so during the 10 days of vacation (hah! can you detect the sarcasm?) I began reading the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. O M fricking G!!!!!! I just finished reading Fang (book 6) earlier this morning (hence the extreme baggage under the eyes -_- ) and I LOVE IT!!!! Book 1 hooked me in and the others are good--but #6!?!?! FANG, I <3 YOU! It was so good that I cried along with the usual giggles I make when reading this series. I feel like I've lived with Max since the beginning and have gone through all the craziness that's happened to her and the rest of the flock. AND what's up with Dylan?! Dylan, go away and everything can be okay again. Waaaah, I'm ready for book 7, like NOW!

Artest's Game-Winning Shot--Saaaaaaaweeeeeeeet!

3 seconds left, Lakers and Suns are tied at 101, Lakers in possession of the ball...and Kobe misses the shot--air ball. Fisher, Artest, and Richardson goes after the ball but Artest's feisty self grabs the ball and taps it in...does it go in? YES!!! And the crowd goes wild, jumping up and down and Artest can't believe he made the shot, he turns around and embraces Bryant while the rest of his teammates rushed up to him, patting him, jumping on him, heck--even Odom jumped on Artest, wrapping his 7-foot frame off of Artest's back. Hahaha. Wow, I was watching the game with my sister, brother-in-law, and my 3-year old nephew. We hung on and hoped Kobe would make the winning shot, you could hear our hopes start to deflate when he missed it because the possibility of an OT was overwhelmingly likely. The second Artest made the shot, cheers went up. Screams were made, my little nephew and I hugged, high-fived, and pounded fists...The NBA, where families come together, LOL.

OUTRAGED

I am angry with what's going on in the state of Arizona and with what's not being done with the prosecution of BP in the role with the oil spill. They need to be criminally charged.
