So, i've temporarily fixed the comment problem that my friend, Yang, told me about. I've gone with the boring pop-out comment box window for now. That is, until i find a better solution because i don't really want to use the pop-out box for commenting.
Moving right along to good ol' game of basketball. And yes, you read that title right. A basketball coach has been fired after his girl's basketball team beat another team 100-0. He got fired because he did not apologize for this win. Yes, his team did completely dominate the other team, but it just showed a lack of sportsmanship and it set a bad example. Why would you even want to embarrass a team like that in the first place. Seriously? 100-0. At halftime, the score was already 59-0. You would think he would have told his team to give some mercy to the other team. But, that didn't happen. In another article i read a couple of days ago, the opposing coach mentioned that it was just a lay-up drill for the other team. This team just played full-court pressure all game, showing no mercy at all. I think it was right that they fired him because that's just really inconsiderate.
About a week ago, i talked about the possibility of Megan Fox playing Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider movie. Well, it looks like that was just a rumour that someone started. Fox's spokesperson crushed our dreams and said that Megan Fox is "not involved in the movie at all." I guess Lara Croft will still be Angelina Jolie, who is still gorgeous, so i guess it will be okay.
What you are about to read is all real and i'm not making this up. "Students in UC - Berkeley can take up StarCraft studies for college credits." This is amazing and makes me want to go to this college, where ever it is. Under the 'Course Description' it says, "The course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted within the confines of the game Starcraft." I wonder if you'll get to brainstorm tips about defeating other races and certain strategies that you can use in online play. This is amazing and is making me so excited for the next Starcraft game to come out. It'll be 'off-the-hizzle.'Basketball Coach Fired After 100-0 Win (and picture): http://cbs11tv.com/sports/micah.grimes.the.2.917557.html

First Blog Ever!!

So, this is going to be my first blog ever. I am very excited, my girlfriend just said i remind her of Jim Halpert from 'The Office.' Sorry to anyone who reads this, i know it's looking kind of plain right now, but i actually decided to read around and found that using templates would be a good start for beginners and such. So, let me tell you a bit about myself, fellow Blogger people.
To start this off, my name is Isaiah James Copon, and i live with my mother. (lame-o right?) Keep in mind that i am only 18, so calm down. Unfortunately, my father passed away when i was 2 and a half years old, and for the next 14 years of my life i lived with my mother, grandmother, 2 cousins, and my aunt and uncle. My father was African, although i don't know exactly where from, since he already passed away before i was able to ask him questions like that. My mother is Filipina, so that makes me half African and half Filipino. If you need to know anything else, i'm sure that my profile tab or whatever, will answer the rest of your questions.
I don't really know what else to talk about, so i guess i can tell you about my life, and what's been going on these past couple of days. I'll start off talking about my cousin Cathleen, since she's been stirring up all the buzz lately. So, my cousin plays on the girl's basketball team for St. Marcellinus, and they recently came in 1st at the ROPSSAA tournament, which is where the best schools in the area play for the championship. I would say she's in the run for MVP with 2 other girls, Cassandra and Sibyl. Last week our school held a 3 on 3 basketball tournament and she was a late entry with 3 of her friends. One of them was her teammate [and rival] Sibyl. They won the tournament on the girl's side. Moving along, there was also a 3-point competition that my little cousin decided to join. Little did she know, she would be the only girl to sign up. Since she was the only girl to sign up, they decided to throw her in the 3-point competition with the guys. Keep in mind my cousin is 15, while the guys in this competition are ranging from 14 - 19 years of age. She ended up with a score of 14 edging out Niko (spell check?), the second place winner, who had 13. My cousin ends up winning in the 3-on-3 and the 3-point competition. Impressive. She, of course, told me all of this on the phone when she got home at 9 p.m. on Friday night from the tournament. I ended up seeing her medals on Sunday when i went to their house to get a haircut.
Well, since this isn't exactly the direction i wanted to go with 'my' blog, i guess i should also mention that the Nokia N97 was announced today (exciting!!) and that Windows will be releasing the Vista SP2 Beta tomorrow (Thursday, December 4, 2008). This is courtesy of Engadget and PC World, respectively.

I don't really know the rules and such of Blogger.com, but if i am doing anything inappropriate, please inform me.
A boring first blog, but it is my first one. Hopefully i can spice things up for next time.
Thanks for reading, for anyone that did. =)
