Update of Sorts

So I've been busy with this, that and the other thing for a while, and have been negligent with this blog. But hopefully this short blurb will tide over my legions of fans [legions = two or three].

I just wanted to express publicly that the documentary Kobe Doin' Work on ESPN is one of the most spectacularly, ridiculously, inconceivably awesome things to watch on TV. Every time I'm looking for something to watch and its an option, I get drawn to it like eyes to a car crash. It portrays Kobe trying to be a likeable teammate / person / coach, yet it fails miserably in each regard. Should you watch it, you will get treated to 2 hours of Kobe talking about watching himself play a basketball team, complete with him laughing at stupid jokes that he tells to opponents on the court, him beaming with pride at his efforts to teach his younger teammates [complete with the disbelief on his teammates face at the fact that they are being talked to by him in a congenial fashion] and the selfless way Kobe plays offfense when you don't have to watch the whole court, you just get a full game of close up shots of Kobe, either with the ball driving into traffice or walking the perimeter of the three point line with his hands out clamoring for the ball non-stop.

Its an awesome watch, I would recommend it to all. :)
