one day, when you're least expecting it, BAM, that's when part 2 will hit you.

anyone see the crazy photos i've posted this week? a bit outside my norm. go click. cmon now, it only takes a second.

the world is wearing me down. i can feel myself being worn down with every second of radio or tv i consume and every bit of text i read... i can feel myself turning into that empty, normal person who just talks about the weather and never discusses politics in polite company. everything is just too depressing.

jen asked me what would make it better.
i said for nothing bad in the world to happen again. for starters.

nba playoffs are upon us, and say what you will about the nba, but the playoffs are really fun. i do wish the first round was best of 5, but i'll take what we have, as drawn out as it is. prediction post!

east
i hate the east.
first round
pistons over magic in 5
cavs over wizards in 5
raptors over nets in 7
bulls over heat in 6 (!!)

second round
now, i think the way i have it drawn up the cavs play the raptors and the pistons play the bulls, so that's what i'm going with.
cavs over raptors in 6
bulls over pistons in 7 (!!!)

conf finals
cavs over bulls in 7

west
first round
mavs over warriors in 5
suns over lakers in 5
spurs over nuggets in 6
rockets over jazz in 6

second round
mavs over rockets in 7
spurs over suns in 6

conf finals
spurs over mavs in 7
though i'd be much much more confident in just betting on the series going 7

nba finals
what did i create here? cavs-spurs final? what the hell have i done?
spurs over cavs in 6
but jesus christ what have i done?

share your predictions in the comments, and enjoy the playoffs.
