America's Most Wanted

Now for the post everyone has been waiting on. In the days following the birthday everyone kind of layed low for recovery purposes. I went to Lake Travis a little while Saturday afternoon and just messed around. Anyway, I skipped class Monday night to catch up on The Sopranos, Entourage and 24 from the past couple of weeks. After clearing out the DVR, it was pretty late so Ang just decided to stay over at my place. Tuesday morning I had an early meeting. I am on my way and Angela calls me at about 7 AM. She tells me that her roommate's boyfriend broke into the apartment and attacked her roommate last night. The roommate got away but did not know where the boyfriend was so she advised Angela not to go home that morning to get ready in case he was still there. Whoa.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: All the following events are not factual, they are one side of the story, and in no way constitute guilt of one party or the other. Dont know if all this helped, but basically it says...dont send me some cease and desist letter if you happen to be someone's lawyer.

Details of this event...basically the roommate (who shall remain nameless because of the ongoing criminal and civil proceedings) broke up with the boyfriend the night before. He goes out, gets all twisted on who knows what and climbs up the apartment building to their second floor balcony. He then breaks into the sliding glass door and starts going through her phone. She is passed out on the couch while this is happening. She wakes up to find him sitting on the couch going through her phone. He finds a text he doesnt like and proceeds to choke her to the point that she almost passes out. He then steps back and says something to the effect of "im just kidding, i would never kill you". Long story short, he breaks a wine bottle on purpose, cuts himself all to hell in the apartment (place looks like a murder scene), bleeds all over everywhere, throws some stuff through the windows. Cops come the next morning, issue a warrant for him (turns out he also had pulled a shotgun on her two nights previous), issue a restraining order, and tell her to not stay at the apartment any longer.

OK...more exciting news. The Capital Excavation basketball team took home the championship last week. We somehow eeked our way into the playoffs with the lowest seed. Myself, as a devoted team captain ha, saw a glaring hole we had in our team. I recruited a friend of mine who I knew played a little. He showed up and played lights out. Really helped us out. We beat the team who had beat us twice during the season for the championship. They were a bunch of kids in their early twenties who basically outran every team they played. However, our team and their team had both played games previously that night , so it was gut check time. They tried to run and every time they did, they found us right with them. They found out there isnt much difference in athleticism between 22 and 27. We won our semi-final game pretty convincingly. Great victory, I played like crap in both games, but at least we got the W. One more thing, the referee HATED me. Threatened to throw me out, I kept yelling at him, gave me a T, told me I was playing the game too fast and thats the reason I wasnt getting any calls, I told him he needed to retire (he was like 60), openly ridiculed him in front of the fans. I must say I didnt represent too well for sportsmanship, but he was REALLY bad.

On the other hand, the other league i play in, the one that had not lost a game all year, got beat twice on Saturday. Frustrating thing was we had beaten both teams previously. We lost by about ten the first game and only because we didnt make shots. Second game, everyone forgot they had to show up. I was on the second game and was able to keep us in it for a while. But our guards couldnt seem to comprehend that after they hit five three pointers in a row, we might should guard them. Game was close at half time and then in the second half they caught fire and some of our guys gave up. We got worked by about 30.

Softball starts next week so I should have some more Wide World of Sports stories to share.

This week: Corpus Christi for the International Boat Show tomorrow, sky box at the Round Rock Express game Friday, Lake Travis Powerboat Association poker run Saturday, Devil's Cove Saturday afternoon. Summer starts tomorrow for me.
