    Me and my gf were snuggling then I heard on the radio Chris Paul is coming to Houston. I pulled out and turned up the volume.



    I was reading e-mails at work, I checked here first before reading e-mails.... shhhhhhhhh.

    Same here, exams starting next week and this completely threw me off. Thought it was going to be okay since Paul has signed with us, but now I'm constantly F5ing in hope of a 3rd star joining the team.

    I was next to b_allholic at Shipley's sharing a dozen donuts and some kolaches when he received the text about the trade way before Woj tweeted out the trade.Then right after that I got a text for next week's winning lotto numbers. True story.

    It was a hot and spottily-stormy Houston afternoon. Work's ever-present futility continued to wear to on the very fabric of my soul. I checked Clutchfans in a desperate attempt to find meaning in my life. That day...I did.

    Work. Didn't get to know the news until the end of the work day.

    I have old school work ethic, you know. ;)

    BTW, good thing I was not driving on Houston freeways yesterday. All these CFers posting while driving in their cars. :eek:

    seems to be the case. Most rockets fans have the tendency to get too excited too soon. like when we picked up Lin and everyone thought we were going to the finals.

    I was in the Brussels airpot with a dumb smile on my face, making half a scene to be honest. Trade completely blindsided me.

    People were looking around at me weirdly, and I just looked weirdly back at them. You don't even know me bro, stop judging.
