All right, folks. It’s going to be tough, but I think I’m going to take the rest of the week off! Can’t be blogging every day now that the Hornets are done. (mW may want to do some kind of wrap-up post, but I think he’s shunning basketball while the pain is fresh.) This is going to be sort of an experiment in trying to wean myself slowly and painlessly off of blogging. Hopefully I can do it. I’ll still be hanging around the comments, of course. mW succeeded in not watching Celtics/Pistons last night. I watched the 4th quarter, but then the players looked too happy, so I had to turn it off.
And actually, now that the Hornets are done, it’s hitting me that there’s a surprising amount of real life stuff coming up for me. I’m going to be flying to upstate NY for my 5th college reunion next weekend, my birthday is the 6th, and as soon as I get back in town, I’ve got a massive job search coming up this summer. So, you know, if you know anyone who needs an English major, even just for the summer… fairly good writer… works well with both kids and adults… waits tables like a champ… I’m just putting it out there… 
But don’t worry. I’ll probably pop back in sooner or later with some funny YouTube stuff, or something similarly lighthearted. In the meantime, feel free to discuss the future in the free agency thread (if, like me, you’re finding it hard to get over the Hornets). Or hey, give us some suggestions for next year! Should we just do the exact same thing? Continue to cover the Hornets from a hugely biased and rabid fan perspective? Add Honeybees?
I won’t leave you totally broken and alone, however. I’ll leave you with some parting words from Sporting News.
There’s a reason why you heard thousands of basketball fans moan aloud as the San Antonio Spurs finished off the New Orleans Hornets. It’s because, despite his much-publicized mean streak, Chris Paul is love.
Or — let me calm down a second here — Paul is the living, breathing epitome of the “I love this game” philosophy that still governs most fans’ attachment to the NBA. He did amazing things on the court, competed with every inch and ounce he had, showed emotion, showed compassion and showed generosity, gave strength to a broken city and created storylines for days.
Put simply, he made you feel good to sit in front of the television for three hours.
Aw. Love. Peace, buzz friends! I’m out like Isiah Thomas.
I’ll miss this blog sooooo much! I’ve become addicted to it, as you can see.
Love the CP quote because it’s so true!
I got a CP bobble-head and some cards. I am pleased.
I already miss Hornets basketball…gonna be a long 4 months….
Good luck in your job hunt! Have fun at the reunion. =)
Peace out.
Everything Kal said, plus:
1) Hope to run in to the two of you this summer!
2) Honeybees add to everything they come into contact with. Just sayin.
I like the Celtics. I like them mainly because of PJ Brown and Glen “Big Baby” Davis. They are both louisiana natives and I’ve been watching them over the years. Just like Baton Rouge native Bobby Phills(God rest his soul) hangs at the hive, one day I would like to see Chris Paul’s Jersey retired too. Thats a long way from now though. Thanks for keeping up with this blog and may you will always be welcome in the big sleazy with open arms. We need more fansites like this one. Till, I guess, october. Peazzia l>
My Hunger Strike of NBA basketball enters Game 2. I’m still shellshocked. But I might come around to actually post tomorrow.
I couldn’t help but to skip by last nights game and think the hornets should be playing.
I couldn’t help but check the score and wonder why the hell the Spurs weren’t losing……….. aaaaaand then they did.
Damnnit, you two rock and rule.
ticktock6. mW. The world of sport and what it is all about salutes you. And y’all better get new names if you’re not back next year. Cause I’ll be MAD! (see: its been a pleasure reading).
