Tex Winter; I wanna write a book on this motherfucker. So, to get the ball rolling let's learn more about the man himself.
The Nitty-Gritty Basics
Something That You Reference All The Time Never Knowing Exactly What It Means (GOD)
There you have it, phase one in the Tex Winter project.
And while we're on the topic, Bill Simmons is the best sports writer on the internet, if not the world right now, especially when it comes to basketball.
Great Piece On Elgin Baylor
Every Clevelander feels ten times the pain of a Boston fan, but footnotes reign supreme (yes I posted this shit already)

Sickness
A recent bout with a somewhat serious illness has impeded my ability to post. Slack will be picked up in the coming days. Stay tuned, I love you all.

Bill Simmons
Blatantly ripping off David Foster Wallace, too soon? Also, if you care to comment, who is your favorite author who uses footnotes? For my money it is jorge Luis borges, hands down the most clever in this regard, maybe I'm wrong.
Still an excellent read, even if Sox Nation Douchebaggery reaches appaling heights known only by cheeseheads, Cubs Fans and Phillies phans (yes I said it...)
But credit must be given where credit is due: Simmons is one of the titans of web-based sports writing, does that mean he swallows his children in fear of being usurped? You betcha.

Is a beautiful city. you must go if you have even a fleeting interest in the stereotypical spanish experience: Amazing Tapas, impromptu singing and dancing, strange art, stranger people, and tinto de verano.

Who is the sexiest team in the NBA? Is He Weird?
Sexiest NBA Free Agent: Matt Bonner: La Pelirroja
Sexiest team (Preseason)? I vote New Orleans Hornets:
Mo Peterson: Grainy Sexy
Chris Paul: I can imagine when he was at Wake Forest, many a college fan thought of CP3 too have an ego to this effect.
Cockknocking aside, Paul has that dedicated Christian fire that all fairweather fans can rally behind.
Tyson Chandler: Dominicano for life methinks
David West: Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)
Watch Here
Hilton Armstrong: Land Before Time Sexy
Devin Brown: Pharaoh Sexy
Rasual Butler: La Salle Explorer Sexy
Melvin Ely: B-Movie Star Sexy
Mike James: Just Happy to be here Sexy
Sean Marks: Sexiest man alive Sexy
Peja Stojakovic: Vlade's sexy dance partner
Julian Wright: Blessed by the Good Lord Sexy
There you have it
A rational explanation for how to correctly cheer for your hometown team if you're from the greater Gulf Area; unless you like the Rockets, Spurs, Magic, Heat, and/or the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately only one can team can hold down the honor of sexiest team in the NBA.
Poooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww

I'm not Saying
With the first weekend drawing to a close here in Huelva, I have learned a smattering of life facts:
1) Huelva, both the city and the province, have a cancer rate per-capita that is 4 times higher than almost any other part of Europe.
2) Gypsies won't steal your things, necessarily, if you can prove to him that you are an even more random mixture of disparate cultural influences.
3)Euros are not dollars, they are like megabucks; as in they make you feel megabroke when you ain't got too many.
4)Spaniards get really familiar after they've been drinking; I'm talking men, not women.
5)Big Ups to Martin Raboteau

Piso is huge, Venetians are chill.
Some Food for thought:
I'd let this motherfucker sell me random ass organic products any old day of the week.

Hey Aqualón!
I'm pretty sure anyone, who's ever watched Anchorman, heard of Jethro (Jasha) Tull, or put two and two together has uttered that above phrase upon entering Huelva. The poshest ir de compras in Huelva is located right on the port; buttressing the Dior kiosk is the biggest Zara store mein eyes have ever seen. The Phone House employees looked sad and lonely, and gave me the eye, the brown eye, so I bukowskid her.
Huelva is hot, hot, hot! Everyday it gets up to 27 degrees Celcius, for all you that don't 'habla español', use the following math formula to get the equivalent in Fahrenheit; 9/5C+32=F or 5/9F-32=C.
Wowwie Wow Wow!
In other news, the Italianos speak the English better than the Spanish; which runs wholly counterintuitive to what us Americanos might imagine.
Drinking gazpacho out of a glass is ill.
Pressed Cheese Sandwiches are a delight.
It will be even nicer when I'm chilling in a piso (apt.)
not one
not two
but three album posts today coming up!

Dirty old Spanish men are the best people to sit in a corner, shithole bar with and talk about politics.
Q: What should we do about Bush?
A: Hang that motherfucker by his ankles in the town square.
Q: Mccain in office is a scary thought, don't you think?
A: Obama will win, then they'll assassinate him like his name was Bobby Kennedy.
Drinking Spanish beer with a Belgian is good for many reasons, here are 7:
1) I learned, at least according to my friend, that there are over 300 types of Bier in Belgium; there are local festivals where a pint can be sampled for 1 Euro.
2) We can wonder aloud why Turkish people love Vodka so.
3) Leffe used to be a micro brew, but in this modern age of mass prouction has seriously fallen off in terms of quality; Fake American beer snobs, myself included, you are officially on notice!
4) Belgian girls can be very pretty. The ones in Huelva...not so much. (his words)
5) We got free commemorative Cruzcampo glasses by asking nicely to some waitresses at a local bar.
6) We estimated that one bar had roughly 3,000 euros worth of ham hanging above their bar.
7) We felt each other from the inside, long and hard.
Nobody really reads this shit anyway; but if my folks are reading this, then ignore item 7, we all know that all the really gay shit goes down behind closed doors anyway.

walking
Britons are OK with me.
Another full morning of walking around rather aimlessly. Toothpaste and a towel have very much been acquired. A mobile phone? No Dice. An apartment? I got phone numbers to call, but I can't do that until I get a phone. Funny place, this Spain.
Many new friends have been made already; Slovenian roomate is chill, Italians hold down the partying front, Turkish guy is humorous, another American named Alex who also enjoys the arts and hails from the tri-state area, even the perpetually fucked up German André knows a thing or two about having a good time.
