i've been pretty significantly depressed lately, but mostly because I don't want to die. ever. i can sit here and imagine millions of amazing things, but when it comes down to it i don't like the fact that i can imagine so much more than I can live. not right now.
Jason Collier didn't really amount to anything here, but it was still sad when he passed away. seriously, Eddie played here. He was a Rocket. He may have been a role player and he may have needed to work more on his game than he did, but he was still a Rocket. Don't you remember the chants of "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" when he was hitting threes? No one rooted against him. Just because he didn't become the stud we thought he'd be doesn't mean none of us enjoyed watching him play. It was tragic, and sad. I personally don't understand why people make jokes about it. He had a problem. Let him rest in peace.
IBTL is an American abbreviation for the expression "I bet Todd laughed." Todd Bridges is a very famous and well respected American actor from the popular TV sitcom "Different Strokes". While a fine actor, Mr. Bridges had a drug problem, and also a terrible knack for laughing at things that were inappropriate... So if someone says something that should be censored on the BBS, someone will invariably reply "IBTL" because, in most cases, Todd Bridges would have laughed. It's just a way that some people choose to pay homage to one of our legendary cultural icons. I hope this helps.
