    I was on the computer all day on clutch fans and Craigslist trying to sell my iPad. I went to the McDonald with my girlfriend and sold the iPad. McDonalds was right around the corner. As soon as I got back home and turned my key I got a text message....I pulled out my phone slowly. I looked at the message I screamed ran around in a circle, then went to my computer to see.

    By that time my girlfriend was already In my room, she picked up the remote and I snatched it out her hand and turned to ESPN and the breaking news came. I was way too happy I started making out with her out of pure excitement. And then.......


    After that was done I we t back outside and ran a couple Laps outside if my house.

    For some reason, I sat perched on my kitchen island with a laptop in the native position.

    About 80% of my thoughts were with the situation at hand; the other 20% with Chandler Parsons. Solid news broke later that night confirming the decision and I went right back to full on Chandler.

    I was going through flights from Cancun to Mexico City to Monterrey, as soon as we landed at each place I'd pull out my phone, try to get online and check clutchfans but it wouldn't load. We finally went to this restaurant in Mexico City and saw the scrolling headlines on ESPN in spanish saying Dwight had chosen Houston but was having one last meeting with the Lakers or something. It was in spanish so I didn't really understand. Didn't find out for sure until Saturday night.

    refreshing every minute and talking smack to Laker bloggers/fans who still were hoping that D12 would stay. Funny to hear all the s talk from Laker fans/writers

    I was wearing my Rockets shirt around the house. I saw that I was tagged in a post on FB and wondered why.

    It was fellow Rockets fan tagging me in the USA Today article saying we got D12.

    I ran into our bedroom to the Misses and showed her the Rockets logo on my shirt and started to do my Chandler Bing happy dance.

    I can still see her shaking her head!!!

    On my phone bouncing between cf & twitter, while fishing. Caught a few trout & a pike, first announcement made, caught a sock from the bottom of the lake, 50/50 reports popped up, kept fishing, reports confirmed, went home & banged the old lady. Solid day.

    This. Yelled and jumped around when the news broke, then went on a terrible blind date. And (true story) made up an excuse to bail when I started getting text messages saying he changed his mind, lol. Flew back home to try to figure out what was going on... I think I'd been home about 5 minutes when they said it was official. At that point I was emotionally spent and crashed out.

    It was midnight in HK, didn't sleep the whole night and kept refreshing twitter. Screamed when I saw the news.

    I worked 28hrs in a row and then got home and passed out at noon. When I woke by 5pm I realized all my work had been worth it
