I really want to start writing this column regularly again, but no promises. For now, I will offer you up some of my random thoughts as an early Christmas present in. Since I haven't written in three months, it will probably be an early Easter present by the time most of you discover it:
I am happy to say that I was very, very wrong on Yao Ming. I thought he could maybe be pretty good in three years, but he is already great now. He's definitely fun to watch.
Bill Walton has already compared him to Jordan, Magic, and Bird. Even better he also compared him to Gary Kasparov, Bobby Fischer, Bob Dylan, and Jerry Garcia. I'm not sure where the joke is there.
Does anyone else wonder how well-endowed Yao is? He is 7'6, but he is Asian. One stereotype has to give. Am I the only one who thinks of things like that?
One more male genitalia note: While disecting the male reproductive system in lab at med school, Sun removed a testicle and threw it across the room at somebody. I may have the mentality of a sixth-grader, but that story made my year.
Congratulations to Peter Jackson, Sean Astin, and Elijah Wood for finally bringing a loving homosexual relationship to a mainstream audience in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. "Frodo, don'y you recognize your Sam?" Great job guys.
So you are chatting with a girl at a bar, but your eyes are scanning across the room at othere girls and you aren't really listening to the girl in front of you. An then she realizes it. And you try to pretend like she's mistaken. And then there is an awkward silence. Very bad times.
Sometimes I'm driving down the street with a great song playing, the windows open, I'm hitting every green light, and I think to myself, "Play on, playa."
There is a store in the Galleria called Bling Bling. Is it racist that I find that hilarious.
I was awoken by a 3:30 AM phone call last night and I felt kind of honored. Most people would be angry, but I'm glad to be known as a guy you can call at all hours of the night. I fear the day when people won't call me after 9:30 for fear of waking me.
Of course, whenever a phone call wakes me, I try to play it off like I wasn't asleep. I immediately deepen my voice a few octaves to sound as if I'm both awake and cool. Even then, I still sound like an extra from Queer as Folk.
Stalking a girl is so much more difficult now than when we were kids. Not only do cell phones give everyone caller id, they can see how many times you called.
Is it bad that I'm still allowing my dartboard to make all of my important decisions for me?
****Quick Betrayal of Friendship Note***** Three of my friends and I were sitting around at a bar a couple of months ago when we all noticed that in our extended group of friends, we each have one girl that we haven't hooked up with, but either we should have, or everyone else has so symmetry dictates that the last of the group should too. I won't announce the proposed pairings, I'll just use pseudonyms: Kev-Leah, Jefe-Chelle, Black-Jenny, Me-Sue.
Miriam and Graham are engaged. Congratulations to the "happy" couple.
Heartfelt congratulations to Greg and Cindy on their recent engagement. Cindy, you broke Kevin's heart.

Aaron, Kevin, and Jeff should not be allowed in town at the same time. The combination of those three could be the death of me.
