Where you grow out of things you didn't expect to grow out of

I've been thinking lately, I haven't played video games in something around a month. I mean, I promised myself as a kid that I would always be something of a kid, always play these games that I knew made me happy, but now I find myself forgetting all about them.

Damn.

That might not be very shocking to a lot of you, and some of you still are probably screaming "a month? What could possibly occupy you for a month that you never once turned to video games?" I know, imaginary latter guys and gals, it's a shocker, but it's my reality these days. Dealing with college and everything that comes with the package, it's actually not that crazy.

And that's the unfortunate thing. That life keeps giving you more and more as you progress through the levels of the predetermined life of the modern world, that it's built into the system that you will let go of the things it finds useless, whether you like it or not. I don't mean to sound all depressing, I'm actually really happy with my life, it's just surprising when you look back and really see what you've cut out for the new things. I know this has nothing to do with my last post, but hopefully you're all interested anyway!

Where the Heat are starting to get it

This season for the Heat has been ridiculously unsteady, and that's largely due to the fact that even now, nearly 70 games into the season, they're still trying to figure out their identity. Fortunately, it seems like they're finally beginning to get it, and at the right time too.

I'm still a bit worried. Obviously a strong 3-game run isn't exactly a large enough sample size to start popping bottles for a Championship already, but the fact that they finally seem headed in the proper direction is satisfying, to say the least. Those 6 losses of a few points, where I had to endure watching Lebron take his silly step-back, pull-up three at the end of several games was almost physically painful. 

I was wondering why Wade didn't seem to be making any comments about taking the last shot, since his whole career he had been plenty more clutch than Lebron had. I was frustrated, thinking Wade was shying away and letting Lebron do his thing. However, now I realize Wade knew what he was doing all along, he was letting Lebron figure it out himself, because I suspect that if anyone told Lebron that he needed to pass it off at the end of the game, he'd try that much harder to prove them wrong.

A lot of people have been saying that Lebron has to be Pippen to Wade's Jordan. At first I thought it was ridiculous, but over the past 3 games I watched Lebron set up plays rather than hold the ball until he found a way to the cup, getting the ball to Bosh inside to do some damage and letting Wade play his game, it all seems to be meshing. At this point, nothing can be said for certain, and so much can go wrong, but right now, a lot is going right. Let's hope that continues all the way to the end.
