When Scalabrine is playing we are either doing really good or really bad. This time, it’s really bad but it’s ok because once DRose is back it’s going to be a different story. Enjoy this win OKC.
I have no children and therefore have no expertise in this subject but my unscientific bias opinion is that kids should not be given so many options. I seen too many examples of a parent listening to their child but that same child completely ignoring the parent and this just scares me. The fact that children get to pick everything they want in life leads to a world full of ungrateful and undisciplined children.
I seen kids demand so much from their parents in a restaurant or in a store while the parents simply asks, ”are you sure that’s all you want?” That child still leaves the store unhappy because within the five minutes it took to checkout, they changed their mind. They actually wanted the red iPod not the blue one. On top of that, the parent ends up apologizes to the kid for not making them happy. In the end this person apologizes for buying their kid something that’s not an essential item. I can only assume this reaffirms to that child that they should get everything they want, when they want it.
We have also all been in a restaurant line behind that mother who lets their kid switch their choice of meal ten different times. After the third time, that kid is probably just playing around and the parent should take over and order what they think is best for their child. It’s hard for me to understand why parents let their kids have so much power.
Kids do need to learn to make their own decisions and develop cognitive skills by learning to take an active role in their lives. Yet, when that child’s voice drowns any authority a parent may have, there has to be something wrong. There is also an understanding that there are other contributing factors to this type of ill attitude and behavior. For instance, these children do interact with other children or watch television where often times children ridicule their parents, they also have different types of temperaments. Therefore, parents are not completely to blame. Regardless, I think children should not be the decision-makers in any parent/child relationship.
When girls are in a bar or in a club, usually starting around 1 am, they start having the most interesting under the influence conversations- in the bathroom.The best part is that they don’t even have to know each other to talk. The bathroom becomes a compliant center, a friendship club, and occasionally a place to exchange unidentifiable vague looks. Everybody in the bathroom talks three times the volume than they should because the music is loud and they are all too drunk to realize they are not whispering. Here are the top things women talk about in the bathroom when they are drunk:
1. Compliments: Everyone feels compelled to tell everyone how beautiful their dress or shirt is and how they wish they had each other’s boobs, butts, ect. The rule here is you have to reciprocate the compliment and smile. For example, say something like “Are you kidding me, I wish I had your eyes, they look purple in this light”
2. Engagement Announcements: “Look at my ring, are you jealous?” is said way to often in these bathrooms. They flash these rings over the stalls. Then a random girl says “How long do you guys have with each other, when is the wedding and how many kids do you want?”. That random girl ends up getting invited to the wedding.
3. The complaints: Girls will always complain about how dirty the bathroom is. They will loudly say something along the lines like “OMG, people don’t know how to clean after themselves, I am not sitting on that toilet” while they themselves throw their garbage on the floor or leave their drink on the floor. Then there is the common “somebody help me there is no toilet paper” Other girls, will feel the need to explain themselves and say ” I didn’t get it dirty, it’s been like this since I got here, I swear!”
4. Promises of Love: Most people when drunk decide to tell their best friend how they will forever be best friends and that if at that exact moment there was a tornado she will die happy because they are together. This conversation ends in “I love you slut, lets go get shots because we are clearly not drunk enough”
5. The crier and the helper: There are women who cry when they are drunk and is usually for a bad reason. For example, because her boyfriend didn’t bring her soup when she was sick last week and that’s all she ever wanted and wished for since she was five. This girl will cry in the bathroom by the hand dryer while her friends tell her “no you are so pretty, I wish I was you, don’t cry!’ and then a stranger to this woman will go up to her and tell “He is not worth it I tell you, he is just not worth it”. This last girl will leave the bathroom feeling like she is a humanitarian for helping the crier.
6. Fighters: There are girls that when drunk go into the bathroom for one reason and for one reason only; to fight. They will give a girl a vague dirty/constipated look or push them out of the never-ending line. Then they exchange verbal insults while jumping up and down because they are both too scared to actually do anything. It will end with one of them saying “you are lucky, that I don’t want to start crap because it’s my brother’s 27th birthday (or equally ‘important’ event)”
Next time you feel yourself waiting a little too long for that one girl just realized that is not because she is reapplying tons of make-up (ok just kidding, she is) but it might also be because she is having a great time talking to the club of drunk girls in the bathroom and confessing their deepest secrets to complete equally drunk strangers.

These are the things you might learn from occasionally playing basketball instead of just watching from the comfort of your own home.
1. Watching every Bulls game won’t make you an awesome player.
2. Saying the name of any amazing basketball player (ex: D-Rose) before you shot usually won’t help you make the shot.
3. The three-point line is further than it looks on television.
4. The free throw line turns out to be further than it looks on television.
5. Calling a foul every time somebody even attempts to hit you is fun.
6. Even if you are horrible player, the game can out to be very entertaining.
7. Having somebody hand you a Gatorade bottle and a towel would be amazing.
Packing is very difficult when one does not know exactly what they are going to be doing. Packing twenty different outfits for a six day trip is not only inconvenient but also very illogical. In the end, The most important things will probably be missing. Listening to Lupe Fiasco while packing might help decreased how tedious it is.
If you are actually toasting a mini bagel and forget to change the settings or if you think it is not toasted enough so you put in for a second round. Also, if your toaster is not a good toaster then it might just burn anything. Whoever said that burning toast was hard to do, clearly did not consider all these factors. Fancy toasters are a must for us incompetent people. For now, here is a recipe for toast:
1. Insert bread into toaster.
2. Wait for it to pop up
3. Take it out and cover burnt areas with tons of cream cheese.
