As far as the pictures are concerned, that was the photographers idea. I kind of wanted to get a shot on the stairs with #8 and #32 in the background, but he wanted to get close-ups by the jerseys, so I was like OK. The wife didn't seem to mind. I made it pretty clear that I'm a big fan of the Lakers early on in the relationship so she's used to it already. :P

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking this is the best thread to post this in. I was hoping one (some) of you could help me out with finding some tickets to all-star weekend. So far the cheapest I've found for All-Star Saturday night is around $600/ticket including surcharges. Anyone have a good idea of a much better place to look?

Thanks!

Congrats Semi on the nuptials.

I love the Laker pics/jerseys/cakes... my wife would dig that too.She put up with me infusing Laker greats in their names.

Not as good as my best friend naming his son : First " Big Game James" Last name...<- actual birth cert middle name.

Lot's of married w/ kids peeps here as to when we all started posting here.
Cheers. :beer: — Mags

the greatest post since "assfault" on Real GM has arrived, and it's that troll that masquerades as a Lakers fan


Lakers05 wrote:If EVERY Black parents were to have my knowledge, then there would be no need for contraction, and I'd argue that there would be quite a few more Kobes. Similarly, if every White or Asian parents were to have my knowledge about beauty, then there would be a ton more beautiful women, or at the very least, a lot better singers(it sounds simple, but if you want to be good at something, you have to practice, yet most parents(including Black ones I'd wager, so not nearly a high number of good players that should be playing in the NBA as should be) will just fall into this trap of sending them to school, let them do homework, watch TV, go to college, and that's pretty much it.

Now this is not to say that Black people can't be beautiful, or that Asians can't be tall or athletic. As a matter of fact, if everybody in the world were to think that they need to be tall AND beautiful to survive and truly believe it(genes evolve quickest when survival is the motive), then the genes will alter that way immediately. At the moment, we don't have the capability of manipulating outside things directly with our thoughts(I've now realized that we have to learn the details and steps first), however, we CAN alter our genes dramatically with our thoughts, which I would say is more representation of us than our appearance(that is if you believe in reincarnation, and I will show you later why that could actually be true.) However, what I've found is that nature kind of compensate the two, it evens out the advantages to short people, by making them a little more beautiful(assuming same standard of living, i.e GDP per capita).

Now after years of research, I've concluded that there really IS NO limit to the human potential, regardless of whether it pertains to athleticism or "astheticism." It's not a coincidence that as living conditions improve, the women look better, the athletes jump higher, our lifespan get extended. All you have to do is compare say the women to 100 years ago(and population growth has nothing to do with it. Trust me, if the living conditions are poor, then no matter how many people you have, the women will not look good, etc.) I'd imagine you'd have a very difficult time finding a Hayden Panettiere, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Love Hewitt or Jessica Alba in those days. You can say it's makeup, but what about the men? And even if you don't think there's a change, what about comparing us to the Neandethals(that is, if you believe in "macro-evolution," though to this point, no transitional fossils between ANY two species have been found)? You can say that we "look" much better than them.

I've come to realize that given enough time and knowledge, our destiny is to evolve to become "Angels" or "Enlightened Beings." However, if I were to let things take their course, it'd probably take eons. So I can only offer my knowledge(and will make a video about this) and hope that I can "speed things up."

You may wonder, if our destiny is to become Angels, then why are most people ugly? Well admittedly, the history of mankind has not been a pretty one. Regardless of what race or religion you're in or from, it's been plagued with wars after wars. However, as I've already pointed out, compare us to the Industrial Age, the women are already more beautiful. In addition, compare us to the time of the Dark Ages, we have less racism, we tolerate homosexuals more, we are more peaceful, we have more sympathy for animals. In other words, we do seem a little more "empathetic" or more "enlightened," ever since the internet, youtube, or just Information Age in general. I've concluded that we are merely at the beginning of the "civilized-humans" stage of evolution.

It would take a whole book for me to explain everything, but basically, everything is made of energy(which is actually invisible, what you feel as solids are merely forces from the electrons(which are also invisible, you see, we don't really "see" anything at the atomic level down, we merely detect their effects, e.g the forces they exert on the gravitational field) repelling each other, and what you see as color are merely different frequencies of energy(strings) combining with another form of energy(light). In other words, what you see as blue is not really blue, but merely a frequency of energy interpreted by our brain(or consciousness) as blue. If our brain or consciousness didn't exist, the true "form" of the color blue would merely be a frequency of energy). These "energies" exert forces on the space around them to form atoms, atoms combine to form molecules, molecules combine to form cells, cells combine to form organs, cells and organs combine to make up your body.

So you can see that everything is made of the same "thing"(energy. Quoted because energy doesn't occupy space, so technically, it cannot be considered a thing. It becomes a thing only when it exerts forces and "curves the space" around it. But now we're getting to general relativity and extra dimensions and let's not go that far). It's just a matter of understanding how to manipulate them at the most basic level.
.
However, in order to do that, we have to have people willing to test it out, and unfortunately, without athletes or ordinary people willing to test out my theories, I can't confirm them(the reason that I knew that body fat can improve oneself athletically is because I notice that the most athletic guys tend to have very low body fat, suggested it to Bynum, and fortunately Bynum, who just happened to be very fat, was willing to test it out, and it worked perfectly. If it weren't for his injuries, I may very well have created another superstar). Now if only ONE guy was willing to test the limit and lower his body fat to 2%(like stated, I believe that the body will tell you when you can't go any lower , i.e no matter how much protein you eat, it won't lose any more fat), then it would REALLY be fun. I mean imagine guys like Dwight and Blake Griffin being able to "float" a little more.

Now here is what I meant that we need to learn the steps, before we can get "there," that is to become superhumans or "God" himself(Evolution and God are not mutually exclusive. Evolution only disproves a certain part of the Bible, specificially, the beginning, not God. However, the Bible is said to have been altered, and suppose that the first part was one of the parts that was altered, then one can see where the confusion and division come from. If you want to learn more about this stuff, I recommend joining a site called abovetopsecret.com. Supposedly, we keep reincarnating, learn from our experience, pass them through our genes, and eventually become "gods.")

Now suppose that one can survive at 2% body fat, then is there really any limit? What if in the process of testing this, we find out even more ways to improve athletically(what I've found is that as you discuss one idea, other ideas can often "pop up"?) Could we eventually learn enough such that one day one will eventually be able to float indefinitely, say like Jesus(according to Einstein, gravity is really just "curved space," that our senses have yet to evolve to detect)?

Well, to answer the first question, fat is made up of carbon and hydrogen, basically, the two elements that the body can get from sugar. Now my bio teacher told me that your organs shut down without protein, however, if that was the case, then vegetarians would die, as we don't store protein. It turns out that the element that protein provides that sugar or carbohydrates don't is nitrogen, so to me, even if you don't eat protein, the body can still get that from the air.

The point here is that the body can adjust itself very well. If it has to evolve to live without fat, then it will do so. I mean, the reason that we need oxygen is simply because it was the most abundant element in the "early Earth," and so we evolved that way(did you know that some organisms die if they breath in oxygen?) And actually, it would have been FAR easier for us to evolve to be "Immortals," simply by the cells making exact duplicates of themselves and storing the process. Yet for some reasons, it or perhaps "someone"(micro-evolution is true, but so is God. See, they don't tell you the details about evolution in school, such as macro vs micro evolution, random vs "guided" or "intelligent" mutations. Think of it this way, how do the genes know to evolve long beaks, without knowing what the code for what "long" is first? At the very least, the genes(or the atoms that make them up) have to have some basic knowledge of what is "good" or "bad" for them, BEFORE the evolution of the brain. It would be impossible for something as complex as the brain to evolve, without the atoms "knowing" how to store and remember all of the steps. However, how could they have stored the information, when the brain has yet to evolve? This implies that the atoms themselves must have been intelligent) decides to break a part of the telomeres, after each cell duplication.

Anyway, body fat is only one of many ways that one can improve athletically. There are a lot of other ways to "cheat," so to speak. There are ways to make yourself taller(just need to search the web really. The human body doesn't really stop growing till 25, I think, so I think most of these guys could grow 1 or even 2 inch, from the time they enter the league till 25). Supposedly, under ideal atmospheric conditions, humans can grow to 10 feet. But in reality, maybe there are no limits. I mean, a few years ago, the human maximum lifespan is 120, but now it's been extended to 150.

I also have a theory about how one can evolve more fast-twitch muscles(for example, what if one was to use the Palovian method of allowing oneself to eat ONLY after "certain hard sprints?" However, without someone to test it, this probably belongs with those vertical improvement advertisements(which I can't say whether they work or not.) See, if I were like these guys, or their advisors, and have nothing to do all day, I would be thinking of ways to "cheat," without really cheating(and actually HGH is not that bad. It is not nearly as harmful as steroids). And if I had their equipment and resources, I could test everything by myself. And all it takes is one idea, apply that to their entire team, and they'd gain a significant advantage.



i've never been so confused, and yet in so many stitches at the same time. :rofl:
