So you just gonna lock mine up even though I created it before you did?

Is that what's hot in the streets now? SMH

[ex carrabba fan]

It's all good yall, let's just try and enjoy the weekend

Shots on me!

[ProfessaPackMan]

I hope Dre caught the sarcasm in my post LOL.

Ex, I know you gonna be gettin' it in out there, partying all weekend man. I definitely know I would if I was in your place #guidofistpumping

[23]

yep...

killer that it starts raining for a couple of days out here starting today

[ex carrabba fan]

Damn, dummy me actually though you were serious for a second

I need to step away from the internets

And na I'm not.... LA is a mess without all of these extra people... I have a friend who works for the Lakers and he offered me certain things... but I didn't accept. If he could get me into the dunk contest I would go though fo sho

There's a lot of parties he has access to this weekend... but honestly I'm not into the celeb type gatherings..

[ProfessaPackMan]

Dre, it could be worse just ask the people of Dallas/Fort Worth how that whole experience was SMH LOL.

Ex, I feel you on that. Since you live there, you're probably almost used to it by now but somebody like me....I'd lose my mind out there this weekend LOL.

I think this might be the first year I wouldn't be pissed at all about missing tomorrow's events and finding out the winners on Monday or whatever. Doesn't interest me like it has in the past, especially the joke that is the Slam Dunk Contest.

[ex carrabba fan]

Yeah I really wouldn't frown if I missed the entire weekend... But still, as bad as the dunk contest has gotten... it's that one event you still just end up watching no matter what.

Oh and Aldridge and/or Zach Randolph got snubbed something fierce #Iknowithappensallthetime
