The face of defeat

I can't talk about it because it hurts my heart too much. All I can do is share my sad face of defeat.

At least new Louis C.K. standup was on after to help me bounce back from this dark time.

FROZEN FOUR!!

Tonight's the big night!

QU vs. St. Cloud at 8:00 PM!!!

Feel free to cheer on the Bobcats. It's in your best interest as they are ranked No. 1 and they're also Meesh's pride and joy!

So you think you're crafty

The residents of Club Belmont are basically Boston's very own Martha Stewarts.

Exhibit A: We make a mean homemade chalkboard.

 

What's that you say? We're three years late to the chalkboard paint party? Well we bet you didn't think to top it with a Red Sox Santa hat now did ya! Count that for being ahead of the curve.

It's a Day of Celebrations

Today's a big day of celebration for friends of CB:

To Elise the Beast:  Happiest of birthdays frand!! One year older, one year wiser ye olde bitch!

To former Club Belmonter C-Money:  Happy Stroke-aversary!! We're not happy you had a stroke but we're always happy to share in the treats your mom sends to celebrate the day. Whoopie pies for breakfast all. week. long.

To the rest of you fine people:  Happy Wednesday. (It could be worse, right?)

Spring In My Step

Spring is here!  I dont care if New England threw a 35 degree curve ball this morning.  I've retired my winter coats until next year and have asked Meesh to dust off the ol BBall.  Spring means the snow has melted off the public courts and I'm ready to resume as the Judge, Juror, and Executioner.

 
Every spring I hit the concrete parquet to work on my broke jumper and invite the local joeys to a few BLOCK parties. 
Not even a spring time shoulder surgery in '09 could keep me from ringing in the season w/ deep threes. 
I was spotted working on my lefthanded layups while my right arm was in a sling, I was told it was the most depressing/least motivating image that persons ever seen.


I thought it might be fun to challenge the fellow CBers to a 3v3 game but before doing so wanted to write down my scouting predictions and each member's seed in a draft of 6. 

Elise the Beast- Easy E is definitely the reckless hooper of the group.  She only plays at one speed because she's never had time to learn a jump stop.  Some people would attribute her drive on the court to great tenacity while others call her reckless.  I heard that she fouled out of 50 % of the games she played last year...4th overall pick

KRo- Not sure what to expect from Ro.  If theres one thing I would guarantee she brings to the court it would be a full arsenal of character breaking smack talk.  This girl will most definitely bring tears to M's eyes by the end of the first quarter.  As a result I wont even care that her outside game is broke...2nd overall pick 

M- I had the advantage of playing hoops w/ this joker last Spring.  He brings quick feet and hands to the courts so you can consider him an asset on D.  Offensively he is at best an aweful dribbler.  He also likes to live on the perimeter and heave rain makers towards the peach basket...3rd overall pick

Meesh - All I need to know about Meesh' game is that she listens to Eminem when shes angry.  In other words, shes "that guy."  The absolute hack at your gym who's always reffin the game and calling their own fouls.  She'll shoot 25 free throws in a pick up game while knocking down 5.  White CBS announcers would call her "crafty."...5th overall pick

Z- Z's bringing the eastern european game to the table.  You know what that means...she's a flopper.  Gotta be careful when you're driving to the bucket against her.  While floppers can make big plays in organized games, I aint got time for it on the streets....6th overall pick

-McQ

(PS: I'm going ahead and being modest here ranking myself as the #1 overall pick.  No one in the house has the strength or footspeed to stop me from rebounding my own missed layups as many times as I want.)

Crickets

Woah have we been a quiet group lately. I'm gonna go ahead and blame work on my blogosphere silence as I'm a very important business woman...

Anyways, I thought about trying to write a clever April Fools post here but I feel like those usually fall flat and I don't need a crash and burn this early on a Monday. Plus I'm not a huge fan of the day as it is. I can be pretty gullible and this day makes me a bit paranoid that everyone's trying to get me. (Don't worry, it's one of the many things I'll bring up in later therapy sessions.)

So I'll leave you with this good news:

It's Red Sox opening day!!

 

Happy baseball season to all!

Democracy

Despite what McQ may think, we live in a democracy here at Club Belmont.

This is how decisions are made, for example staying on as an all star CB resident:

We're such good communicators.
