Did you have a great Easter?

Mine was pretty good. Just ate, watched some Robocop, and slept. That's it.

Saturday was great. The Illini game and the Pacquiao fight replay. If there was one word to come out of that Illini game, it should be miraculous. It was funny because they were down 9 with one minute to go and my dad screamed, "You are losers, Illini! LOSERS!" Deep down within myself I know they wouldn't quit. They came too far into the tournament to lose like punks. If they were going to lose, they were going to lose in a blaze of glory. The thing is, the Illini kept on stealing like Ocean's Eleven and shooting like the Guns of the Navarone. One minute, they were down 15, the next, the game was fucking tied. It was amazing.....even from the television, you felt why the Illini is considered the best collegiate basketball team in the United States. They won 90-89 against Arizona and one picture finally said it all in today's newspaper. An Arizona player breaking down crying in the foreground while Illini celebrate for joy in the background. It was a pic saying more than a thousand words, it was more like a million. The moral lesson of the game: don't ever quit.

The Pacquiao fight on HBO yesterday was among the best I've ever seen. The fight was round for round a war. Pacquiao has his huge heart and Morales his sturdy jaw. You gotta give Morales props though, he knew Pacquiao's weaknesses and exposed him. He won fair and square.

I just downloaded a few songs circa 1996-1998 and they bring back great memories. Oh yeah, I also like what radio station Q101 is doing, playing songs from the past 3 decades using a MP3 player. They used to play Nirvana like 20 times a day and Pearl Jam like 30 times a day but with this, songs from The Verve Pipe, Marcy's Playground, Ween, and others were played through the radio. They should do this everyday.
