sux UTA lost game 3, dammit.

3 games today.. HOU better win game 4, how they could blow this with Parker now out is incredible. SA is just such a machine though, popovich is among the GOAT coaches imho.. SA reminds me of the NE Patriots, just always a threat no matter what happens.

would love to see CLE end TOR tonight .. no interest in watching that go beyond 4 games lmao..

I'd like to see Celtics/Cavs & Warriors/Rockets.

I want to see UTA bring it to GSW too.. GSW just too stacked. GO UTAH.

 

lamest shit i've seen in a long time.. this video actually bugs me.

Doug Anderson got blocked, the end.

Great recap. Though, I was rooting for the old guy (Klitz)

Klitchko's round 5 comeback was definitely because of a counter + Joshua punching himself out.. How Joshua was able to recover, I have no idea. That almost never happens in heavyweight boxing.. When those guys punch themselves out, it's just a downward spiral until they are toast. We witnessed Joshua get better, in that very fight. He came in at X level, and left at X * 2 level. Incredible heart by both fighters.

Klitchko just couldn't keep his foot on the gas and try to get Joshua out of there because Joshua's power is too legit. He couldn't get sloppy.. That hesitation definitely helped Joshua recover.

Best HW fight i've seen in ages.. I knew this fight was going to be good, but I was very worried about Klitchko. Once I saw him get floored in 5, I really thought "here we go, the end is near". No one survives an Anthony Joshua onslaught like that. Honestly, it's probably alot like surviving a knockdown from Tyson in his prime.. Who does that? Buster did it, and came back to KO Iron Mike in the biggest upset I can remember. Just shows you how much heart Joshua has.. He's not someone, who once he finds himself up against someone equal or better, folds. Legit++

And man I love Joshua's post-fight interviews. So much respect. He often thanks everyone who fought on the entire card, winners & losers.

epic.

When I mentioned April being an especially bad month, it was because things were finally coming to an end with my mom. Her battle with CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia), which began in 2009, finally came to an end in 2017. I made a post about her on FB, so i'll keep this very short & take a different angle.

The Instagram Angle:

One reason I joined IG to begin with, was to post various photos of nature, the sky, our (my mom & I) dogs, food, and just a few running related pictures. Most of these pictures were for her. She could barely leave the house, could no longer see sunsets or go for walks with me & the dogs, could no longer go in the back yard and throw dog toys, could no longer eat as healthy as she wanted (salads, fruit -> risks & taste buds dying), and just couldn't be herself & enjoy life like she wanted too. So I often showed her photos that I took specifically for her & posted to my IG. I mean, my IG is a bit different than the rest of my online presence, in that it's just so much happier, bright, and hopeful, because I wanted her to still experience some of those things. For example, she absolutely loved it when I came back home from a dog walk, and showed her tons of photos of the sunset/sky. Many of those photos, I actually showed her when she was in the hospital; she was a regular.

So, that has nothing to do with IG but, it was just one of the mediums I used to post photos, many of which were intended for her. She actually liked this medium alot because there's just lots of beautiful photos, she just wanted to see positivity.

She also knew about many of my friends on this forum & elsewhere, you'd be surprised how much she knew & how much I shared with her.

Anyway, here's just a small collage of photos of her:





This was her favorite flower. She didn't get to see it bloom recently, though she saw it bloom for several years. It was given to her by one of her best friends. I posted it a few weeks ago so she could see it, while she was doing really bad in the hospital. One of her final requests, was to have her ashes spread in it's soil:



I'll probably be posting a bunch of other stuff throughout the weeks on IG or FB, just to get it out into the ether and such.

I really thank everyone for their hard work, passion, and enthusiasm on this forum over the many years. My mom especially loved it, she'd always ask me how it was going, how specific people were doing, and was amazed that people were still chatting it up when I disappeared for so long. She thought that was really special.

<3

peace

Hey andrew just saw on your instagram that a close relative of yours passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss man.

Thank you so much Leonel. I really appreciate it.

As above, just saw your post on instagram. Sorry for your loss, thoughts are with you and the rest of your family.

Very much appreciate gukl. Yeah it's been rough, it means alot. Thanks!

Sorry to hear about the loss man. Condolences to you and your family. We can never imagine how it would impact us, when there of so many deaths that happen until it happens to our relatives then it hits us how short life is. Stay strong man.

Yeah man you nailed it. I mean, I think I know how short life is.. I thought witnessing my Grandpa slowly die over a period of 3 years taught me alot, but really it didn't. After my mom's death, the closest person i've ever had in my life, it opened my eyes to lots of emotions & thoughts that i've had buried for a very long time. Life lesson: even if you think you know life is short, it's even shorter. Every moment with your loved ones, friends, and family, are even more important than we think.. No matter how important we think it is, it's important + 1. It's infinite. Dealing with that is hard, I must say, because no matter what I gave, I had more to give. It just never ends.

Thanks so much seifullaah.

damn @ UTAH, letting that game 6 slip.

Yea Giannis is really awkward but I like his game. Dude is all over the court. I think he'll keep improving though.
