I feel Better
By Byron LaMasters
I decided to have five days of mourning following the election. So from Wednesday (11/3) through Sunday (11/7) I pretty much avoided the world and reality, and well -- mourned John Kerry's loss. I told myself I'd feel better by Sunday, and I was. I got up last Monday and made it through a relatively good week. So, I woke up this (Monday) morning with that post-election depression attitude again, and I was just sort of bumbling my way through my classes, and trying to forget how this country got screwed for the next four years. So, I asked myself what I could do. I went to watch the UT basketball game where we beat Tarleton State silly. But Brian Boddicker has graduated, so it's not quite as much fun to watch as the past couple of years. So, then I came home and watched Senator-Elect Barack Obama's convention speech for the gazillionith time, and I felt better. Even my very Republican grandfather (who lives in Illinois) likes the guy. Amazing. Obama '08 or '12 or '16 or '20 or whenever that man wants to run for president. Tell me where to sign up...

Byron, stop feeling bumed, there's more battles to face and more victories to win. We're too young to stay depressed about this loss.
Byron, looks like Brian Boddicker got drafted in the 5th round of the CBA by the Idaho Stampede:
39. Idaho Stampede – BRIAN BODDICKER (F, 6-8, 228) University of Texas.
Unless you plan to visit Nampa, Idaho anytime soon (Bush got 76% of the vote in Canyon County, Idaho), you aren't going to get to see Boddicker playing hoops.
Boddicker is not big enough to play the 4 spot in the NBA and not quick & versatile enough to play the 3 spot. Bulk is something he can work on, but if he has not done it so far, it is not that likely that he will in the future.
FYI, (Former) Dallas County Democratic Chair Lisa Payne (and now, former Dallasite) says that Boddicker was her neighbor in Duncanville, and I believe she said his parents were Democrats. Although I just looked up the family voting history on the internet: The parents have not voted in any Democratic primaries, although they have a consistent voting history. Brian's older brother, Colin, has a decent voting history for a 26 year old, but Brian has no voting history: maybe not as Democratic as Lisa thought.
THe best freshman class maybe in the history of NCAA Basketball and it's not as fun to watch as Boddicker get blocked out of plays? You need your head checked.
Speaking of Fathers and Grandfathers being Republican...and speaking of Lisa Payne... if I'm not mistaken, her father is a huge Republican.
