I love the Knicks but it's been a chore to bare the weight of all this disgraceful losing everyday. "What's up with your team bro?" I can't even give an educated response cuz we suck....not fun to talk basketball around knick haters and they are everywhere....

any basket weavers in the house? Anybody play backgammon? Into working out? If so do you even lift?

Chime in anyway you like....no disrespect to the backgammon/basket weavers in the house

Lots of things:

- Going to gym, yoga
- Playing basketball
- Music/concerts
- Video games (sometimes)
- Audiobooks/novels - Reading Game of Thrones right now
- WWE
- Traveling
- Playing guitar (poorly) and singing (not as poor as my guitar play) On this note, I took singing lessons with a well-known singer from the Netherlands in 2012.
- Working on my own business

... and plenty more.

I don't anticipate watching the Knicks again for quite a while. Maybe 2015, maybe 2016, maybe 2017. I'm done until there's a reason to watch. My time is valuable and they haven't earned it.

The Knicks 2026 NBA Champions!

I set a goal to get in the best shape of my life and mean it this time. I got myself on a 8 month program I put together. I'm finishing up phase 1 this week which has been 3 months of lifting heavy trying to Improve my strength.

My improvement:

Flat bench
from 185lbs max to 245lbs max

deadlift
From 275lbs max to 375lbs max

back squat
From 185lbs max to 295lbs max

I'm doing 225lbs 5 reps on my bent over rows and i got my overhead press up to 155lbs 5 reps.

Aside from that i been home with my 8 month old and wife which is a full schedule in itself.

I'm really gearing up for phase 2 of my routine which will shift from strength to power. I'm also trying to find the time to study to get certified as a personal trainer too. It's alot of fun for me.

Mostly music. At some point I just stopped watching games and that made a lot more time available for practicing. I've made a lot of progress over the past six or seven years. So, um, thanks Knicks for being so terrible?

- Reading. I was hoping to read at least a book per week this year but only got to 34, though it should be 35 before the Thursday.
- Video games. I'm a big Nintendo fanboy and bought both a Wii-U and 3DS last year.
- Moderating. I'm a moderator of one of the default subs on reddit and that takes up a bit of time.
- Playing with my dogs. They're pretty awesome.
- Drinking. Lots of drinking. How else am I supposed to get through the Knicks, Giants, and Mets this year and deal with my job at the same time?
- Mets. I went to 15 or so Mets games last year and plan on doing the same this year. It's way cheaper than going to see the Knicks or Giants.
- Museums. I travel a lot for work and whenever I'm in or near a city I try and check out their local art and history museums.
- Baking. I like to cook in general but I love baking. Just wish I had a better kitchen, mine sucks.

For next year I'd like to:

- Exercise. I've never been in particularly good shape and now I'm getting closer to an age where I really need to worry about that. I hope to be under 200 lbs by the end of the year.
- Volunteer. I've done volunteer work on and off for the last several years and I'd really like to do it on a more consistent basis.
- Music. I'd like to learn an instrument this year. I played piano when I was little and I still remember the basics. I even have one I can play on but it needs to get tuned/fixed.
- Dancing. I started ballroom/latin dancing lessons a couple of years ago and really enjoyed them but after I got my current job it became almost impossible to get to classes during the week.
