Good Lord

Image
What was that effort, Clippers ?... the Spurs came to LA and embarrassed them...showed so much more energy than the home team...hey, Clips, you are pros...and Tony Parker had a field day on CPIII ...as Paul couldn't even come close to catching up with him...absolutely flabbergasted by this showing...huge step backwards...and a giant positive one for San Antone ...as Coach Pop shows again why he is considered the top coach in the league... I was wrong about Idol ...this is the 1st of 2 weeks of whittling down the entries...there will be 20 at the end of next week...the 1st set of guys went last night...and most were dreadful...catch me if I'm wrong again...the gals judges are just as dreadful...especially Nickey ...who I would fire right now...in so much, as I now ff the tape while she is babbling on... Good Lord , there were some excruciating bad ones...and not one of those blokes will come close to winning... Continuing on with my negativity...watched the Ducks again...

American Idol

Image
First of all, thank you for referring this blog to others ...and if you are reading this for the 2nd time, welcome back...my fav reality show... American Idol ...which has brought us the likes of Kelly and Carrie ...has started their latest version...the silly season of the auditions, the group sessions, and the goofy producing is over...the judges best picks are before us...and yet, they are not done...as they pick 10 of the final 20...and then...it goes to the public for the voting...that's a mouthful...the gals went last night...and I thought 3 were dynamite! ... Here's the deal...I am not fond of the judges this time around...the gals, in particular... BUT ...they got the right singers...so, maybe they are not the best at expressing themselves, but their picking process is good...in the end, it's the talent that we watch...not the judges... As far as the best panel? ... JLo is at the top...and as much as I got tired of his ridiculous bravado, Simon was usually sp...

Words

Yesterday I bored you with info on pixels ...today I talk about stuff...little bits of nothings that permeate the day...that somehow make the air waves...and now this little old blog...and to you, my fine readers...who have become worthy, introspective deciphers of a conglomeration of words...that Crazy Horse flings at you and hope it sticks in your brain...and that you will pass my message on to others...just like a new religion...in fact, that is the topic of the day... if you are a believer, pass my blog onto one other person today ...let them be enlightened, too... Clive Davis ...I'm not a fan of record producers...don't trust 'em...for years, they have held the power of singers in their hands...and as they have "found" young stars, their own popularity grows...to crazy levels...so this guy has had the good fortune to find the likes of...well...you know the list...and he got himself into thinking he was "godlike" when telling a singer what was a ...

Picture Elements

Image
Say what?...I'm going to school you on what's what in the television world...my background got me a thinking for my blog...the concept of picture elements, most commonly called " pixels "...in your terms, it's the number of little dots that make up your tv screen...so, you go down to one of the big box shops and you want to buy a new tv...and you stare at all the imagery that is projecting back at you...and you get some young yahoo who comes up to help...these are the best ones to have...just try and get help at an Apple Store and you will know what I mean...very smart blokes and blokettes...to find the richest and sharpest picture...you must find the number of these pixels...and to do so...it's a simple multiplying formula...number of scan lines times the number of pixels per line...in the older models, you had 525 available scan lines, that the tv makers used but 480 of them...and had 720 pixels per line...thus about 345,600 pixels...in the newer HDTV...

YMCA

Well, I watched it... the NBA All Star Game ...and for the greater part of it, the players used it like they would if they were at the YMCA ...rat ball at it's whatever...best or worst...more dunks than I can remember...the odd part was...and this was the diff of the 2 teams...that the west had a true PG and the east didn't...so Chris Paul had a field day...not only in winning the game, but garnering the MVP Award ...by dribbling around, by, and through the others...some notes... Kobe wanted to show that he is still the best...shutting down Lebron in crunch time... Griffin is a huge unparalleled athlete... Dwight is a fool...he is supposed to have some shoulder prob, but was hucking up hook shots from 1/2 court...the kid, Kyrie Irving , is the next best small going...or coming...why was Bosh an all star?... LA of PDX is not on this level... Lillard should and will be...and...if Michael says it, it still has great meaning...right Kobe? ... Speaking of LA... the Nor...

Hoops

Image
I watched a bunch of college hoops games yesterday...from all over the map...some things that come out of my basketball mind... the Dukies are not number 2 in the land...as their highly acclaimed C got completely dominated by the soph C from Maryland...and they lost to the Terps... the Ducks escaped in the Paloose...not because of coaching, but due to a massive brain freeze by a Coug who deliberately fouled cuz he thought they were behind...oops, the game was tied...UO got the throws and won... OSU, yup, that one, is terribly put together and lost to the Dawgs...what are you saving your timeouts for?... UNLV hung on and won at home over the Aztecs...both teams are better than anything in the Pac 12...and yet, are in the middle of the MWC ...very strong conf...I saw a stat yesterday that showed that one has the best RPI than any other...selection committee, are you seeing that, too?... Have to admit it is impossible to get any better weather than in the desert in this time of t...
