NBA All-Long Hair Team

The NBA season is now getting dangerously close to the end, which sucks because I have watched only like 5 games this whole season. But I'll live, I guess. anyway I was thinking the other day about NBA players with long or nasty(or both) hair, and so I looked online to try to figure out my favorite "do" in the NBA. I managed to find so many, I was actually able to create an all long haired NBA squad. I tried to get a real team with a guy from each position, but I couldn't find any point guards with long locks...well, except for the old Nash hairdo, but that's long gone, so I'm not gonna post it
















Just kidding!! I freakin love his ugly mophead way too much not to post these pics. Ironically, I say his hair is ugly, but I've had several people tell me when I have long hair I resemble him (especially when I'm playing basketball, or in Korea...but then again, I look like a girl in Korea too). So maybe I don't look at cool as I think^^

Walter Hermann- For those of you who don't know who my buddy Walt is, I'll have you know he's probably the third best Argentine in the league(behind Manu and Scola). Not only does he have gorgeous blonde hair, he pulls it back into a ponytail, for a truly unique-to-the-league look. Plus, I love it when announcers try to say his name. Is it Her-man, Air-mon, or just like we say Herman here in the US?? He seems like a cool dude too, so it's impossible for me to not like him.


Latrell Sprewell- I know, he's retired, but this was a thing of genius. Only someone as crazy as Spree could've pulled it off. Troy Hudson tried it, but got blackballed from the league or somethin, cause I haven't seen him since.


Mikki Moore- This guy will throw you for a loop, because he looks like a thug, with tats and dreads, but interviews like he graduated from Columbia or something. Sadly, the Jazz didn't re-sign him, because they already had an articulate Stanford grad at center in Jarron Collins. Jerry Sloan was kinda upset about it. Now he plays for the freakin Celtics.


Luis Scola- "The hottest Argentine" is what my friend Matt likes to call him. He's a great player though, I still don't get why the Spurs traded him to an in-state Western conference rival for next to nothing. Stupid move by the Spurs typically savvy front office.





Sasha Vujacic- I hate this wuss, and the only reason I put him on here is to make that known more widely












Anderson Varejao- Crazy curly hair. This is a cool look only if it's natural. If I permed my hair to look like this, people would make fun of me for trying to look gay or something. And Matt already does that.




Drew Gooden- Ok, he doesn't have long hair at all, in fact, there are rumors his hairline has been receding since the third grade. But, the beard was the longest the NBA has seen for decades, so he makes the team.
Plus, last year he sported this gem on the back of his neck...




There a a few other sweet long hairdos that I missed, like Renaldo Balkman and Marquis Daniels, but their hair looks pretty much the same as Mikki Moore's so I didn't bother to put them in.

Work sucks!

Man, the past few weeks of work have really been trying my patience. My boss Carolyn, who has always been so sweet and giving, has become Mrs. Hyde or something. All of a sudden at work I can't do anything right. It's not as if it's that complicated either, we're just cleaning for crying out loud! but I'm either too slow or too fast, and I'll admit when I go too fast occasionally I'll miss something. But I feel like I've been receiving some overreactions on her part for weeks now, and today was almost the straw that broke the camels back.Today I wasn't supposed to work, I got the whole week off until tomorrow, as it's spring break and my little brother James was visiting. But I checked my messages around noon and my boss says I'm working. I had nothing to do today, and I thought I could at least make a little money, so I didn't tell her I wasn't on the schedule and just decided to go. I then get a call about the time she's going to pick me up( a little early actually). "Where are you! Why aren't you out here waiting!" I responded that I was waiting right outside my house. Then she chewed me out because she said I should have been waiting at the back side of the school- this is where I get picked up on school days after class by her. Only it's spring break, so why would I be at school? Anyway, I made the 20 minute walk over there because she couldn't drive over to pick me up due to the fact she was going to pick up another employee in that direction. Whatever, not really a big deal, but it bugged me. We were still on time to our appointment too, so it all turned out OK, or I thought it did. Anyway, I worked extra hard today to make sure I was quick( but not too quick) and didn't miss anything. I did a great job in fact. Then on the way home she keeps telling me I need to pay better attention to the messages she leaves because she explicitly told me that she was going to get me at the school...by the way, I checked the message again when I got home, and she didn't. I was pretty bothered, so I informed her that I wasn't even supposed to work today(she made the schedule and I wasn't even on it, so she should relax because I did her a favor working on my day off. right?). Then she asked me out of the blue if I had ADHD, because I "show almost all of the symptoms". I dunno, but I took this as a dig, and now I'm kinda upset. Not upset enough to quit, but oh so close. Now that I've vented, I'm better.

Silly hats?

Today I was in my Korean class and we were talking about what we are going to do over spring break. I told my teacher that my brother would come visit me from Utah. She then said, "hey isn't Utah the state that has that unique religion that wears the hats?" One of the kids in my class said "Jews?" and another suggested the Amish. Then we had to explain to her the difference between the Amish and Jewish hats. Eventually someone in class said "Oh! You must mean the Mormons!" My teacher was like- "Yes! the Mormons...what kind of hats do they wear?" I couldn't stop laughing during the whole exchange, but at that point I managed to take a breath and in a semi-composed manner explain that we don't wear any special hats at all. Pretty good stuff.

Pineapple Farm Pics

Here are some pics of the Dole Pineapple farm. It's not really that great, but I did
like looking at the little baby pineapples.

Cute!



I think I'm gonna grow one of my own at home, the plants look pretty cool too, huh?
