Trip To Seattle

I just returned from a business trip to Seattle. I was attending a Search Engine Conference and learned a lot of cool things, but the most important thing I learned was that I need to learn a lot more.

While I was there I was able to go to a Mariners game with my friend Blake Snow. It was great to get out to the ballpark. Nothing like a MLB game. I have a goal to see a game at every park in America. A few down, a lot more to go.

Good Heckling

Those of you that know me personally know that I love to heckle and have had some "success" while doing so. I have a strategy that usually works and I have had a good time doing it. From almost making a player cry, to a player's father yelling at me I have seen it all. I was reading the Salt Lake Tribune and came across a good article about heckling. If you ever feel inclined to start heckling, you may want to read this article before making the classic rookie heckler mistake of saying, "Hey, you suck."

Heckling is a great hobby and remember, these are paid professionals and they should have to deal with as much crap as we fans want to give them right? I mean I feel that I would be doing myself and the professional athlete a disservice if I did not heckle the hell out of them.

Feel free to comment on your greatest heckling moment and I will post mine later on as well.

The NBA Is Back Baby.

For years now people have been complaining about the National Basketball Association. Complaints have ranged from the influx of thuggery to lack of quality play to lack of real Super Stars. Well let me just say that the NBA is back. I will be the first to admit that I am a NBA homer and that I have a biased opinion on the matter. That being said, it really is on the up and up.

If you look at the teams left in the playoffs Phoenix Suns, LA Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, SA Spurs, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavs, Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets. These teams do not have thug players on their rosters. The closest thing would be Rasheed Wallace, and although he was a thug he has calmed down ever since he joined Detroit. My hope is that NBA GM's will realize that thugs do not bode well in the playoffs and start rewarding quality character guys.

Lack of Super Stars has also been solved. LeBron James and Dwayne Wade are two humble young Super Stars that will take the league back into the glory days.

In regards to quality play......if you have missed the Dallas, San Antonio game last night then you do not know what quality play is.

These playoffs have been of the hizzle for shizzle. NBA Action.....I love this game.

Best Show on TV

Please watch The Office on NBC. It is the best show on TV right now. Every day that I am at work I can find someone who does something that reminds me of a character from this show. It is my personal favorite and promise anyone who hasn't seen it will love it if they give it a chance.

I'm officially a nerd now.

Well, I am here on the world wide web.com starting my first ever blog. Let me start by telling you why I chose the name My Woman Cooks. It's not because I am a sexist pig, although I have been accused of being one in the past, it is actually the name of a 3 on 3 basketball team I played on back in the day. Everyone we played got a good laugh from the name so I decided why not.

As far as my blog is concerned, I haven't quite decided what I will put in here. It will most certainly contain information about my personal life and my passions which include but are not limited to:

My wife and two beautiful girls
Sports, I am a sport addict. Utah Jazz basketball is my main fix.
Music
Money....ect.
I hope you enjoy my blog and tell your friends and family about it. Peace out yo.
