Do You Believe in Magic?

Late Playoff NBA Basketball and things are getting exciting. The Suns and Lakers are all tied up in the West at 2 a piece and the Magic have crawled out of a 3-0 hole to make it 3-2 transforming themselves from scrubs to Clark Kent's. Time out. Really? The presence or absence of glasses makes a person appear as two different people? Anyone got a way to transport me into Metropolis? I got a burglar disguise that would fool supercomputers.

I Want To Be A Part Of It

Cold weather Super Bowl? Hell Arctic Yeah! I love this idea, and best of all, you can't say I love it because I'm a "fair weather" fan. Get it?

Alright, I'll cease the torture that is any semblance of my stand-up routine.

WMBC Random Thought of the Week: Let's Talk About Losers

No, no, not those type of losers (man that feels good). Let's talk about losers who lose to win. Confused? Sorry, let me digress.

Last night was the season finale of Biggest Loser 9, and man oh man, I love this type of stuff. I'm not one who gets sucked into reality shows easily, so take my word for this being awesome (that video works doubly, for this show being awesome but totally fake believable enough to make it legit).

Loving the Eastern Conference

The NHL might want to take some advice from the NCAA with regard to expanding their tournament. Why? The Eastern Conference is gearing up for Flyers vs. Canadiens this Sunday in the Conference Finals. That's right, a 7 vs 8 seed matchup. And the two teams that barely made the playoffs are amped up about playing each other for something other than a "who deserved to be in the playoffs more" consolation prize.

It's Official

What's official? Well, two things. First, it's official that you're all hooked on the blog because I can tell how much you missed WMBC after a week and a half of minor lazyness R & R.

But, more importantly, after losing in 6 to the Celtics, it's official that Lebron has only one thing to focus on.

WMBC Random Thought of the Week 5/4/10

I guess the whole conversation started innocently enough. All that was asked was, "Anything going on this week?"

That's what prompted the answer that started the wheels in the head for this post. One of my friends chimed in, "Well, Wednesday is Cinco de Mayo, and I got a handle of Cuervo I've been looking to kill."

We all shuttered slightly, but agreed. The shuttering was because most of my friends' tequila past has come in the form of Montezuma Blue, a "tequila and liquor blend" which is advertised by its own company as "a great-tasting [tequila] at a great cost per drink!" (Going down the "bang for your buck liquor" path usually ends with bad decisions)

But cheap liquor will always be cheap liquor, and that's hardly a topic worth random thought-ing about unless I get desperate for ideas, which is why the mutual agreement of how we were going to spend our Cinco de Mayo is the important part of this post.

Administrative Stuff for WeMustBeCursed

I'm sure you diehard followers noticed the hour of panic this blog experienced on Thursday (things got ugly with the templates), but rest assured, this is all for long term good. I have grandiose ideas for this blog, so things may start looking a little different in the near future.

For now the only change is purely one out of vanity. In an attempt to make the blog look a little neater, "Read More" links will now be appearing after the first paragraph or so of posts, so click the link to read each individual blog post, and enjoy easier skimming.

I'll keep you updated on any other changes. Check back tomorrow for WeMustBeCursed's Random Thought of the Week.

WeMustBeCursed's Definition for: The Doomsday Pessimist

Some fans just have clairvoyance when it comes to foreseeing the curse.

That or they're just pessimists.

I'm sure all sports fans at one point or another have felt a similar sinking feeling. Typically, this comes immediately after your team has just scored the go ahead or tying point, goal, touchdown etc. but has stupidly, stupidly left too much time remaining for the opposing team to come back. (As a Maryland Terrapin fan, you don't have to ask me for an example)
