Books & Movies

On Saturday we lost a tough, tough game. A game where we felt we were in control but then in the second half, Polpharma made some unbelievable shots and we could not recover.

It was really disappointing because we were prepared, and ready but just could not get it done. We have to bounce back quickly though, because were going to play Anwil. They had a great win at Slupsk, so were going to have to play really well just to have a chance.

This is the first week I have written the blog that I really could not think of anything to write. In the states media people call this writers block, or writers cr&. For some reason just nothing came to my mind, so I thought I would just write random thoughts instead of one topic.

Have seen two movies in the last couple weeks. Deja Vu, with Denzel Washington and the The Holiday. Deja Vu was pretty good, was different, and do not really remember a movie I had seen that was like it, so I thought it was pretty good. It was definitely worth seeing. The Holiday was a little slow, a romantic love story, that you have to be in the right mood to watch. I was not in the right mood to watch it. It was long (2 1/2 hours) and dragged on for much of the movie. If your wife or girlfriend wants to see it, try to talk her out of it but if you do not have a choice, then that is life.

I just finished reading a new book called "Maravich" about Pistol Pete Maravich. I believe Maravich was and is the most creative basketball player of all time. He did things in the 70's that guys today are still not doing. His life was tragic as he died an early death of 40 years old, but was named one of the top 50 players to ever play in the NBA. Was a really good book and I read it pretty quickly, if your interested in Maravich at all you should check it out.

The Super Bowl is coming up next week and I think I have never been so nonexcited for this game. These two teams do not interest me at all, a matter of fact I hate the colts. I am not sure if I will be able to stay up and watch this game, but in the States the Super Bowl is so much more than the game. The parties, the food, the commercials, all of it make the Super Bowl. I am going to have to make some bets with my American teammates that way it will be much more interesting to watch and I will care who wins.

This has been an interesting week for me with my car. Any American knows how the cars the club gives to them in Europe are not always the best. here in Slask we do not have the best but they get the job done and that is all you can ask. Two nights ago I had a flat tire at about 11:30 at night, I was 20 minutes from my apartment and it was raining. I could not believe it. So I was like I will change it, I open up the trunk and I do not have all the tools (surprise) to fix it. Therefore I just called a teammate to come and get me. No problem but I had practice in the morning so I was not sure how I was going to get there. I called our manager in the morning and he sent me a taxi, first taxi ride in Poland. Was ok though and the taxi driver even tried to speak to me in English which was nice. Second, I was parked waiting for my friend to meet me and the police came up behind me and wanted my documents for the car. I had no idea what was going on. They said I could not park there, but thankfully I used the "I do not speak Polish excuse" and they let me go. which was nice.

I know many Slask fans are making the trip to Anwil on Sunday. Looking forward to it and hopefully we can get a big win. Take care and have a great week.
