Ok...HOPEFULLY this doesn't just add on to my first blog. I am new to this whole thing, so bear with me.

Watching TV last night, flipping through the channels, cause most stations are on their summer hiatus (BRING BACK DARK ANGEL) eh...hem...Anyways, there I was flipping through channels and happened on the post-game interviews/championship celebrations for the NBA. It was no big surprise that the Lakers won...and if you had any thought of the Nets winning, I have to commend your braveness, cause I was right there with you, hoping BEYOND hope that they might pull off a big upset.

Now, at the time, I had no idea who won the MVP trophy...that is till reading this mornings paper. And to my disgust It was Shaq. Yes that big oaf that the Lakers like to call a basketball player, won the MVP again. If my memory serves me correctly, this is his second MVP trophy in three years.

My next question may or may not surprise you, but, WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE SMOKING? And WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO VOTE? Sure, if I was 320+ pounds and 7" tall, I could win an MVP, cause all I would have to do is stand there and wait for the ball.

To self: Oh, look at me! I am right under the basket, and I don't even have to jump to dunk.

It is ludacrous to think that someone with absolutly NO talent, could be an MVP. It takes NO talent to stand under the basket, turn around and throw it down....I mean for christ sakes, if it weren't for Kobe or even Rick Fox, or Robert Horry, the Lakers wouldn't be in the finals to begin with.

Upstart Sacremento almost beat them in the conference finals. Kobe came in with the clutch drives. Fox came off the bench and was a pleasant surprise, and Horry showed he could shoot and make it count when he needed to. Meanwhile, there is big, dumb-ass, wannabe rap artist, standing under the basket, doing NOTHING and he gets MVP....It just blows my mind. That is why I was hoping for a Sacremento/New Jersey final. Jason Kidd Vs. Mike Bibby -- Kenoyn Martin Vs. Robert Horry....That kind of a series would have been more television friendly.

Shaq, buddy, take my advice RETIRE, PLEASE!

In a little under two weeks time, thousands and thousands of people will be honing in on Cowtown. Some with good reason, I would say a safe 95% and the other 5% have no business here whatsoever.

I am talking about the G8 Summit taking place in K-Country, about 45 mins northwest of Calgary. Now the major problem most protesters have already, is that they have no where to set up camp for their little pow-wows. Calgary Mayor Dave "Bronco" Bronconier has outlawed ANY protester to squat on any public campground during the two day "supermeeting."

Now, I don't have a problem with the whole protest thing. I am a strong believer in the right to free speech. What I don't believe in is a massive group of people staying a campground or other public property, doing their thing and leaving...without cleaning up. And that is exactly what would happen. A place where thousands and thousands of people go on a weekly basis, ruined because of the careless acts of a few.

The other major problem this may or may not create is bedlam in downtown Calgary. If these "protesters" have no where to go, the next area they are going to head to is a major metropolis, such as Calgary. Lets just hope, come June 28th, our TV screens are bombarded with scenes of violence coming from my city. Because..IF a protester is going to go out of their way to keep me from my day to day business, THERE WILL BE TROUBLE...
