Weed Wednesday

I still can't decide to make this a regular on Wed. or Mon. but either way it'll have a sick name. Weed Wednesdays or Marijuana Mondays will be a new feature here on the issues and culture surrounding marijuana. Each week I'll post a story, link or video pertaining to the legal fight for the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana worldwide. I'll also post a story, link or video concerning the culture behind the 'magic herb'.

This week I am featuring the Marijuana Policy Project's plea to President Obama for several but simple things concerning the marijuana movement. Also I have posted a video of Mr. Bob Marley explaining his interpretation of how Rastafarians view marijuana. I hope you enjoy Weed Wednesdays (or should it be Marijuana Mondays; THC Tuesdays?; Smoked Out Saturdays?).

LOOOUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Former UNLV Rebel and the 2006-07 NBA D-League Rookie of the Year - Louis Amundson is back in the desert playing for the Phoenix Suns. According to NBA.com's Fantasy News he is "averaging 18.6 minutes, 5.9 points, 6.5 boards and 0.9 blocks over his last eight games." Now I've never really like the NBA too much, or even follow it much to this day, but I continue to check in on my boy Amundson.

I remember walking around campus to class one day and I saw him leaned over panting madly, sweat pouring from his brow and he had his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. I just smiled at him and gave him a nod to acknowledge I knew who he was. I always knew the way he worked on and off the court that he'd make it. He's worked like a dog in the D-League, sat on the bench on a couple NBA squads but finally he is getting a legitamate chance to prove his value in the NBA. He used to post up with the likes of Ute 7-footers like NBA #1 Overall pick Andrew Bogut and still attending Utah Luke Nevill, so I always knew he could make in the NBA.

Here is his player card widget from NBA.com

Sabres Drop Gloves

During our six game road trip out West the Buffalo Sabres have been playing amazingly physical hockey. The entire Eastern Conference is not known for their grit, while the Western Conference is known just for that. This is the culmination of playing scrappy hockey with the Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, the Phoenix Coyotes and finally the Anaheim Ducks all on the road. The Sabres have been effectively on the road since January 10th. They came home for a game against the Hurricanes on 17th right before the All-Star break. But essentially the entire month of January was played against Western Conference teams on the road, as we even started off the month of February there as well. Here are the fights from last night's game versus the Ducks.
