I am assuming I am the tallest person blogging....I would say thats a pretty safe assumption, The only person taller than me that I know has a hard time tying his shoes...let alone turing on a computer.

Heeeeeerrrreeeeee We GO!

Long absence, Deal with it, I would say sorry, but I have been busy so my blog has suffered. Finals are over, I have been on a two week break of nothing-ness, its been great. The first year of law school sucks, no ifs ands or buts about it, it sucks...I took two weeks of finals, after a month of studying, its finally over. I would tell you all about it, but I would bore you to tears, so I won't, just know it was the worst thing school wise I have ever done, yet some how I enjoyed it, go figure.

Now on to the rest of the summer, I will be heading, as the locals like to say, across the pond, and spend some time in both London and Salzburg. I will be taking some classes over there in London, I will be taking a terrorism and public policy and in Salzburg, I will be taking a foundations of European and American law taught by the honorable Justice Anthony Kennedy. Should be fun and interesting. I will be updating a different blog, worlds tallest traveler, soon, a more parent friendly blog, so stay tuned for that link. I will gone from June 11th - July 28th, and will enjoy many travels.

Now on to what this blog is really about, the draft lottery. The wolves true to form stuck with the 3rd spot, the didn't move up any but hey at least they didn't move down any. Sounds good right, WRONG, the 3rd pick might be the worst pick in this years draft, there are two front runners, after that you are looking at "potential" and with the wolves they are likely to take a flier on a little known kid out of the sunbelt conference who they are "really excited about."

Well, who is it gonna be Lopez, Mayo, some Italian, who knows, and who cares, there are alot of questions and the wolves, who need a new direction, are stuck with a player who could, I stress COULD be ready in a few years. As always, the wolves are a few years away from being a good team, awesome, they were a few players/years away from being a good team in '91. So with that being said, I am leaving the wolves organization, it has been a long time coming, but I was holding out hope that something good would come of this year/lottery, to change my mind, NOPE. So good bye wolves, and soon good bye twins, I am only hanging on to a thread with the vikes, but we will see, at least the are attempting to get better. I am tired of the mismanagement, the selling of hope, and the eventual disappointment. The wolves and twins are train wrecks, I am done, I wash my hands of the wolves now, and on Aug 19th, I will wash my hands of the twins.

I was at my parents house watching the draft lottery, I convinced my mom to hold off on the finale of dancing with the stars long enough to see the results of the lottery. When the text of "here comes Brooke Lopez" hit my phone I went downstairs and grabbed an old, too small Chicago Bulls sweatshirt I had and threw it on. I am back on the Bulls bandwagon, I left with the mishandling of Jordan, and now return because I have nothing left to cheer for in MN.

Let's GO BULLS!!

I am excited for you because I am also a Bulls fan and it will hopefully be a good year. As for the Twins I don't think you should jump off the bandwagon. Just give it some time Jonathon and be patient. Have fun traveling the world. You will miss the weekend of the fourth but hey I guess you barely showed up last year.

I like how you deserted the Wolves and they haven't even picked yet. They were randomly assigned the 3rd pick and now you decide to abandon them? Not after the Ndudi Ebi pick? Not after the William Avery pick? Not after the years of bad McHale sweaters? Not after Flip left? Now? I won't try to persuade you to stay, because I'm long gone, but the timing of your decision confuses me. As for the Bulls, I'm off. They have terrible decision making abilities. Marcus Fizer? Really? Who let Elton Brand go? Joakim Noah? On a team filled with tall-unable-to-score power forwards? Now they are going to pick Derrick Rose and that's bad news for my man Kirk. Therefore I will wait to pledge my allegience to an NBA team until after the draft, to see what happens with Kirk, Mario, and Darrell. Plus, if by some miracle Darnell Jackson gets drafted, I'll have no choice but to be a fan of that team.

I was off the wolves after the KG trade, but I was willing to stick it out if they were in the top 2 of the lottery. They got #3, and McHale is excited about 11 guys in this years draft, awesome, what 11 are you looking at I see 2 maybe 3 real good players. B. Lopez will get paid, but as a 12th man somewhere, congrats to him, maybe he can buy his brother a hair cut. McHale is the worst thing to ever happen to any NBA franchise EVER. He is following the clippers modle of the '90s good plan. Please stay up at your lake cabin.

Nate-- Thanks for the 4 of July stab, real cool
