D-Will is snubbed again





Williams is so underrated it's frustrating and he should have made it to the all-star team the past two seasons but didn't.

You have to admit, it's pretty ridiculous that Deron Williams has never been an All-Star before. Everyone agrees that he's the second best point guard in the world, but he still doesn't get nearly the recognition he deserves. It's confusing.

I mean honestly! Tony Parker and Chauncey Billups were picked ahead of D-Will?

Some might argue that Williams wasn't picked because he missed the first couple of weeks of the season. But if you look at what he has done since he's been back, he has definitely been all-star worthy (PPG: 16.9; RPG: 2.80; APG: 10.2).

Oh well, at least the all-star game is just a show boaters dream and doesn't feature true basketball skills (like defense). We'll let those players risk injury and have their day of glory while D-Will and the rest of the Jazz are healing wounds and resting for the final push for a championship. Go Jazz. If any of the readers are basketball fans let me know what you think of D-Will being snubbed.

Housing Decision

Lately I've been trying to decide if I want to get a place by myself or find a place with some roommates in Arizona. I've been weighing both sides and I'm having a hard time deciding.

If I live by myself then I will be able to find a place that suits my needs. I won't have to adjust to roommates. Do what I want to do, when I want to do it. It will be easier to keep the place clean. ;) On the other hand it has the potential to get really lonely. While I'm studying for and taking the CPA being lonely won't be such a bad thing.

If I live with roommates then it will be much easier to have a social life and meet friends. However, I won't have as much freedom as I will be sharing living room/kitchen space with roommates. Having a place with roommates will be slightly cheaper but that's not the biggest issue. I can find reasonbly priced 1 bedroom places.

I've been tossing around the idea of getting a month to month place by myself and then looking for people I would like to have as roommates. One of my biggest fears of having roommates is getting some weirdos as roommates

I'm interested to hear what you think (if anyone still reads my blog). Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Havasupai

So I have goal of something I want to do while I am in Arizona (other than work crazy hours). I want to hike Havasupai in the Grand Canyon. I was looking at pictures online and I think it looks absolutely beautiful. Apparently you backpack in and camp overnight at the bottom of the Canyon. If anyone wants to join me let me know and we'll make it happen captain.

Sledding at Soldier Hollow

Yesterday Deloitte (my future employer) took us sledding up at Soldier Hollow near Heber. I had a blast. I mostly hung out with my friends Graham and Katie from the accounting program. Enjoy the pictures!
