I don’t get a lot of phone calls. I don’t know a lot of people. I also work overnights, so I sleep during the day, so I miss phone calls. A lot of these calls look important, but I also don’t want to call them back because they didn’t leave a voicemail. I figure that if it’s important they’ll call back. I guess that’s why I don’t get a lot of phone calls.
About two years ago, around this time, my then girlfriend sent me a text message that I didn’t want to see. First, it was a surprise to get a text from her because she didn’t have texting on her phone, so it obviously came from someone else’s cell. The words I didn’t want to see: “We should probably break up”. Something like that, I don’t remember it verbatim, but that’s not the point of my story. The point is that she couldn’t break up with me face-to-face or even with a phone call, she did it with a text message, from her friend’s phone. All I kept thinking from then on was how cheap, childish, and cowardly this was. But, one of my co-workers actually made me think about this tonight. He didn’t bring up the subject in any way, shape, or form, it’s just I really hate him. I’m in the situation myself.

The NBA Finals came to an end last night with the Boston Celtics finishing off the Los Angeles Lakers in six games, 131-92. As lopsided as that score looks, it wasn’t even that close. The team that was formerly nicknamed “Showtime” in the 1980’s, was late for their curtain call, to say the least. LA’s second and third best players shrunk in the spotlight, the bench was horrendous, and the 2008 MVP was taken to the woodshed. It’s asinine to say that Kobe Bryant was a non-factor, because he averaged about 25 a game, but the man shot well under his average, about 40%, which is testament to the Celtics defense.
Happy Father’s Day everyone! I myself am not a father, but I could be. You just don’t know. Hopefully I won’t have to make a visit to The Maury Povich show.
