Random Non-Political Thoughts on a Thursday Night

I've been basically copying and posting (hy!) 95% of the time the last few weeks. About Republicans, no less.
I will now share some random non-political thoughts on this, the first night of December, 2005:

• "That Seventies Show" is dope. Come on, you know you like it too. People seem to hate on it, as I once did, but it's consistently funny.
• I love celebrity gossip. I don't think I'm a very dramatic person but I love celebrity gossip. I could live my life reading only three publications: 1. The New York Times, 2. The Economist and 3. Us Weekly. Not necessarily in that order.
• The Mets are looking good for next year. There problem this year was a lack of another big bat and a kick-ass closer. And, AND they still may get Manny. Even if they don't they're definite contenders.
• I read an article yesterday where Joe Torre apparently was talking about Jeter playing center-field (in lieu, of Bubba Crosby). He denied it. I think it's an intriguing idea. Jeter would probably be a dope center fielder. He's got a good arm, he's mad fast, athletic, smart and he's definitely a 'leader-type' guy. I doubt he'd ever do it because of his pride, especially when his replacement would be former-friend A-Rod getting the position. Jeter's always been about winning, I wonder if he'd do it.
• The Knicks.....Let's hold off judgement just yet everyone. Yes, they kind of suck now but Larry Brown is s a great coach. He always wins. He's got some players. Channing Frye has been a nice surprise, almost Camby-esque - hopefully without the injuries. Curry has talent, although he may just be a guy without the heart and an attitude but the jury is still out - I kind of think it's bullshit that he's out for like five games with a calf injury. Stephon, Stephon, what's goin' on? I don't know what I think of Marbury. I think he'd be well served to be a two-guard, as I've said before. But, sometimes, I think maybe he's just an asshole. He always seems pissed or something, he never looks like he's having fun and, as the star, I think that attitude can really spread and hurt the team. All his teams got better when he left. Still, I don't think he's an awful and mean guy (see him crying like a like a 13 year girl old at Dave Strauss' Bar-Mitzvah in seventh grade after hurricane Katrina), and he's undoubtedly talented. Plus Brown does well with point guards and vice versa, so let's see what happens. They have some other exciting younger players - Nate Robinson is fun to watch, Trevor Ariza has potential - even Jamal Crawford and Quentin Richardson are also pretty young (although I don't know about those trades). Anyway, I'm still hopeful that they'll be .500 and on the upswing come the end of the year. One playoff series win this year.

Well, have a good night.
