The NBA...Where Rejection Happens

Oh my gosh! This is so funny. I feel bad for this guy but you gotta realize that very few women dream about being proposed to at half court of a meaningless February NBA game. My favorite parts of this video are 1) Tracy MacGrady's reaction and 2) the Rockets Mascot's reaction. This was just too funny not to post.

New Internship

Two weeks ago I started an internship with the Carolina Railhawks. The Railhawks are a professional soccer team that plays in the United Soccer League. They actually have three different teams: the USL team, a women's team, and an under-23 team. I am working on marketing and sponsorships for the 2008 season. So far it has been a lot of fun. The vice president of marketing for the team is my direct supervisor and it has been neat to get to be involved in the process of lining up sponsorships and preparing for the upcoming season. The first game is an exhibition game this Friday against UNC-Greensboro. The Railhawks also play an exhibition game against the MLS New York Red Bulls at the end of this month. I encourage everyone in the Raleigh area to come check out our games. The team plays at Wake Med Soccer Park which is an awesome facility. They actually held the 2007 NCAA Men's Soccer Finals there.

On a more humorous note, Saturday I went to get my haircut. I had been growing my hair out

for quite a while (since before Christmas) and it was getting pretty long. I dropped Ashley off at a dance competition she was going to and then I went to the "hair stylist." I told them that I needed a little bit of a trim but that I didn't really know what direction I should go with my hair because it can be kind of hard to manage. I told them that I'd like to keep it long but that I needed a style of some sort to keep it in instead of the unkempt mess that it had become. So the "stylist" cuts my hair and me not being one to really care that much, I just paid and left. I pick up Ashley and she starts laughing hysterically. She said I needed to go back and just get the "stylist" buzz it all off because it looked horrible. So I did which didn't bother me that much because I usually keep my hair pretty short anyway and it was only recently that I started growing it out. It was just a funny situation to be it. My hair's pretty lame a

nd it grows faster than pubescent boys.

Oh yeah, one other thing. They announced the brackets for the NCAA Tournament tonight. Carolina supposedly got the "Top Overall Seed." They got hosed if you ask me. Sure they get to play their first two rounds at the RBC Center in Raleigh and if they get past that they'll play the next two rounds in Charlotte but have you seen their bracket? Tennessee and Louisville? Come on! How does the #1 overall seed get the toughest bracket? Then Arizona State beats Arizona twice this year and Arizona gets in and ASU doesn't? That's jacked

up. I'll return later this week with my picks for the Elite Eight, Final Four, and Champions.
