Playoffs and Stuff

Like many of my fellow Sacramenians (People who live in Sacramento) I am a Kings fan. Sure it started as the whole cheer for the home team back when they were the bottom of the barrel team, but it became more than that as time went on. I went to a few games back then, got some autographs, and in the early nineties I had even seen most of that team naked. (awkward silent) Kind of an odd thing to happen to a 13 year old and it is kind of a long story I don't feel up to typing right now. Now this whole thing just sounds disturbing and I should erase the last few sentences... but I am not going to. Eh, different topic.
Basically I enjoy playing basketball, follow the Kings, and over the last few seasons I have managed to go to a couple of games every year. I think I have made it to at least one playoff game each of the last few years and I will be at this Fridays game against Seattle. I go with my friend Andrew who manages to somehow get tickets online consistently. (To my amazement considering I have never succeeded in doing so) The day after that depending on the weather I am possibly suppose to go to San Francisco to wander around. I don't know if all of this is money well spend considering my current position, but I feel that I have to waist money sometimes just stay a little more sane. I say it is a waist because it is something I could easily do without, but I know some people would argue with me considering I am getting something out of it. and Blah Blah Blah........
Today I started thinking about how much gasoline I will probably use over the course of my life. Think about all those cars and SUVs that have been driven for 200K over there lifetime. Your getting about 20 MPG out of that car and your using about 10,000 gallons of gas over about 15 or 20 years. That is just one person driving around. Then look at all the people your stuck sitting in traffic with on the highway and realize they are all doing the same thing. That is just right there in that area. It adds up quite quickly. With the way prices are you might as well just fill up a swimming pool with gas now and live on that while hoping no one ever smokes or does anything out by your pool that could catch it on fire. I guess that wouldn't work too well. Don't try that. Kind of an odd tangent to go on but hey, it was just what I was thinking about.
People sure live strange extravagant lives. I don't think most people are smart enough to be making as much money as they are. Do most people who are well off right now deserve what they are getting? With what you have done in the past week at work do you deserve as much as your taking home at the end of the month? How do places stay in business paying so many people and places so much?
This is a very inconsistent entry...Just how it should be...It is my thoughts after all.
