The NBA season is upon us, my friends!  Hoop-heads, where you at? 

I can't wait to get this season started, though shorter, at least we have a season.  I've determined there are two things in my life I can't live without.  Basketball and music. Those are my two escapes from this world.  I can easily immerse myself in the moment and forget everything else in the world around me. 

I'm still waiting to become a Lakers season ticket holder, coming up on my fourth year on the waitlist.  As a means to quench my basketball thirst, meanwhile, you are now looking at a Clippers season ticket holder.  For those who truly know me, know that I'm a Laker fan first, but the Clippers are also welcome in this household.  I love L.A., period.  I love basketball, period.  Despite all the hubbub about the lockout, and how much money gets thrown around in this, I'm an NBA fan, period.  I personally love watching games on my own, I feel I can concentrate better on the game and the commentary, though I do like company from time to time.  The 2011-12 season will be at the peak of NBA excitement and talent.

If you don't believe me, take Kobe's word for it.
