Do you know how hard it is to teach how to solve quadratic equations by completing the square? Especially to kids who were obviously not taught solid Algebra I concepts? It's hard, but then compound that by going through the first entire example while solving it the wrong way. Haha diiiiisaster. I'm proud of my kids though, after working a few more out while continually saying "Right class you solve it like this, not like Mr. Harrison earlier", they all grasped the concept and did well on the quiz. Quadratic formula tomorrow… my favorite. And shout out to Monski for backing me on keepin' it real, and we should campaign for those poor 2014 CMs, oh the travesty lol.
In other news, Mr. James… haha Mr. James. What have you done? The team that you built into a 60 plus win, post-season threat has completely disowned you. You brought this team from nothing to something, and when they can’t find it within themselves to get you ONE other superstar to play with in six years they crucify you. At first I was shocked, really I was, at the reaction from all of Cleveland, but then I remembered another pretty important person in history who was referred to as the “King” and even him, perfect and blameless in all his ways, was crucified by his own people. But I’m here to tell you the King has risen! In Miami!
Haha I’ll be honest, my first reaction to his decision was anger because I still thought there was a strong chance for him to come to Dallas (not really though lol). Instead, he will be teaming up with Wade and Bosh for a sure contender for the championship. I may skip out on watching the NBA entirely the next few seasons because I’m pretty sure of the outcome. Even still I’m sorry, but I don’t blame the man for leaving. Everybody who has been saying all this trash about Lebron is simply ridiculous, the man obviously wants to win a ring and he OBVIOUSLY isn’t going to do it in Cleveland. If you think about it he had to make a very tough decision. Now that he has “taken the easy way out” as people want to say, he has lost a large portion of his fan base, took a pay cut, probably pulled himself out of the “great as MJ” convo for many, and put an ENORMOUS amount of pressure on himself and the Heat to win the championship, because everyone is expecting nothing less from them. And honestly, it might not seem as easy as everyone thinks it will be. Lebron James has shown himself to be an intelligent human being and I’m sure he thought through all of this. What I will say though is he was wrong for the way he went about it. Not telling all the teams till the day off was a jerk move and it was wrong. Now making it a national televised event I honestly won’t blame him for, I’m sure that was sponsors pulling those strings and was something he had no control over. In any case, I, like many others, rushed from my current dealings just so I could get in front of a TV to hear it first. It is us, the society, who allow such shenanigans to take place. The funniest thing in all this though is Cleveland’s GM saying that they’ll win a ring before Lebron. Yea... I think we have a better chance of winning the war on “terrorism” than Cleveland does winning a championship now. No offense Tsipis.
In other sport’s news, congratulations to Spain for winning their first cup and to the Dutch for coming so close yet again but not returning home with the hardware, suckas. I’ll be honest though, this final, as well as the tournament as a whole, was just disappointing all around. The final was spoiled by reckless challenges from both sides, especially the Dutch, and some of the worst displays of flopping (even for Spanish players). Not only this, but as a retired striker, the finishing was dismal at best. Although this game was the best officiating I saw through the tournament, thinking back on all the terrible calls, US’s poor performance, Germany’s poor form and dodgy officiating, and a sub par final left a bad taste in my mouth that won’t be removed for another four years. On top of all this, Fernado Torres, Liverpool striker (Liverpool is my favorite club), further damaged his nagging injury in the closing minutes of the final, so my club’s chances of climbing out of the hole we’ve been in for the last two years is not looking likely. Sorry FIFA but that’s how I feel, better luck in Brazil, and I’ll be expecting competent refs and goal line technology.
I’d hate to end on this note so we’ll shoot for a more happy tone. This weekend was a lot of fun, got to venture to Austin with my roll dog Dera to hit the legendary 6th Street in Austin with my Ace Jamaur, crazy Jade (haha), and sister Ebony. Shout out to the DJs for taking me back with some of that old skool Texas muzik, but two thumbs way down for ending the night at 1:56 consistently every night. You’re robbing us. Oh and I hope that random girl is making a full recovery from Friday night after getting widmilled kicked in the face by that dude break dancing. Classic.
