Clippers lose Livingston
They defeat Charlotte, 100-93, but the point guard is sidelined for the rest of the season after dislocating his left knee in the first quarter.
By Jason Reid, Times Staff Writer

Clippers 100, Bobcats 93

- Cassell ready to fill the Livingston void
- Just imagine Livingston's suffering
In a potentially devastating blow to the Clippers' bid for a playoff berth, point guard Shaun Livingston suffered a season-ending knee injury Monday night in the team's 100-93 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats in front of 18,442 at Staples Center.

Livingston dislocated his left knee while landing awkwardly after going for a layup on a fastbreak early in the first quarter. He was sidelined 52 games in his rookie season because of a dislocated right kneecap, and the injury he suffered Monday is considered more severe, a team physician said.

The Clippers braced for playing their final 26 games without Livingston.

"The second I saw it I knew he was done," said Cuttino Mobley, who dropped to one knee and prayed while Livingston was wheeled off the court on a stretcher. "When I saw his knee … I was just messed up."

Said Coach Mike Dunleavy: "You could see that he was in tremendous pain. It was just a really, really tough night."

X-rays taken at Staples Center were negative, the Clippers said. Livingston was taken by ambulance to Centinela Freeman Regional Medical Center in Inglewood, where he was scheduled to undergo further tests late Monday and today.

Corey Maggette scored 25 points for the Clippers (27-29), who won their second consecutive game. Forward Gerald Wallace had 20 points for the Bobcats (22-35).

Livingston, who had a career-high 14 assists in Saturday's victory over the Golden State Warriors, was considered among the keys to the team's effort to make a strong run down the stretch in the regular season. Now, the Clippers must move on without their young floor leader.

"It's really disheartening," said Elton Brand, who had 14 points and 12 rebounds. "You worry about his career and his health first of all. You also worry because of what he means to the team.

"He was coming off one of his best games. I don't know how we're going to compensate for losing him. I think he was on his way."

The injury occurred with 8 minutes 18 seconds remaining in the first quarter. Mobley stole the ball from guard Derek Anderson and tipped it ahead to Livingston, who raced to the basket with a defender in pursuit.

Livingston rushed the shot and was off-balance when he landed. Team physician Steven Shimoyama, trainer Jasen Powell and paramedics quickly attended to Livingston, and play was suspended at the 8:10 mark of the quarter.

With the third-year player in obvious pain, Shimoyama popped Livingston's knee back into place in a process known as reduction.

"It popped into place on the first try," said Shimoyama, an orthopedic surgeon who has worked with the Clippers for seven years. "It alleviated nearly all of the pain. When he dislocated it, he was in a lot of pain."

Shimoyama said that further tests were needed to determine whether Livingston had torn arteries in his leg.

An arteriogram exam, in which dye is injected into the knee, would reveal tears, Shimoyama said. Livingston was supposed to have that test Monday and then undergo an MRI exam, probably today.

"Knee dislocations are famous for causing damage to circulation," Shimoyama said. "On our preliminary inspection it did not appear he had damage, but you need to do an arteriogram to make sure."

Although only 21, Livingston has been hampered by injuries throughout his career, and his teammates said they would be there for him again during his recovery.

"He was worried about us winning the game and not about himself," Maggette said. "It just shows the character of the person."

huh...you wouldn'ta thunk it

just browsing brands of the world and found this

suggestive advertising and -mart & -inal

Name omitted to protect the guilty

i just noticed the stacking practices at my local branch and thought it was quite apropos. I mean would you want to chew on a kotex brand pad as hard as big league chew?

yes i know the image quality is inferior cellular technology but take my word for it

today i will recap the injuries

So far, in the 13 months i've had my bedpartner, I've accumulated some injuries had in the height of wrestlemania. I've had:

puncture on the forehead
puncture on the bridge of nose
blackened eye
multiple bite contusions to forearms, no broken skin
punctured webbing between fingers (all the way through)

and today...

a bruise/scratch from a punch
punctured upper lip, all the way through.

with this being said, i love every single one of my injuries, and love my dog immensely. i'm just hoping i get to have a minor scar from him as a reminder in the future. atleast i know that, if he can possibly kick my ass, i know if we ever got into a fight, he can help me fend off someone atleast as strong as me.

and remember you can't spell food without doof!!!

my goal in life...

is to live somewhere that i don't have to travel the 405. Anywhere but there. I'll sit on a different freeway for long stretches of time but not that one. In fact i would be happy if i never had to be on it again. I say that with the knowledge that never is really never cause i gotta go to the getty, thats the only reason. thats it, i'll drive the canyons to and fro or i'll land in burbank. Just keep me off of it. But that leads me to the other goal. Whatever city i may travel to i must see one of their better museums. this will be something i strive for the rest of my able years.

i love it when

friends call to ask you to sign in to their ebay and bid on something cause for whatever reasons they can't be at a computer. it gives you full reign to just run amok around ebay and search for items they think they should own, like a signed 8x10 glossy of robert loggia. everyone needs one of those...and a few other things.

is this why i never became a figure skater?

i'm thinking no but this is pretty heinous



and if you're morbid, here it is set to some inappropriate music and show over and over in slomo

one thing i like about her...

my girlfriend is such that we can talk art, music, politics, design, food, etc, etc. But the real joy comes when we converse about different topics. Such as, words that have a certain feel to them. sharp, crash, clap (i know what sayshuhs thinking). words that have a feel or edge or a bit of onomatopoeia. we can also bust rhymes at length.

but when you get to the real meat of the things we can talk about cotton swabs. Namely, the unilever company brand qtips obvious superiority to other swabs. it's not even like

"gimme a coke."
"is pepsi okay?"
"sure"

it's more like you shove an inferior swab in your ear and it bends and stabs with it's less than ample amount of cotton cushioning and you immediately wish you had invested that extra 40 cents in the real deal. lesser swabs just don't seem to pick up anything. qtip brand you can get in there deep without fear of drum puncturing unless youre the careless type that leaves the tip in your ear whilst prepping and bump into something sideways ramming it deep inside. c'mon now you know you cringed at that one.




don't be fooled people, open up your eyes...and lose the earjam.

damn you...damn you this and everyweekend...

anne litt. I don't like you. I've decided to turn you off. you kill my buzz from open road and drag it through sappy ballads. my pod has more than enough alternatives. you've done this to my weekend more than once and it's got to stop. if you're not going to quit affronting me with this drivel, then i concede, you've won, you own that slot of airwaves that i just need to work around. yes i know i was surprised to see that you had set up the music for little miss sunshine until i really gave it a think. it's a kindof depressing flick, you might say that it was a cinematic ballad and the more i thought of it, the more it seemed appropriate. don't get me wrong this doesn't give you a repreive, you are still damned by me. and seriously, no knock on little miss sunshine, taht shit kicked ass but i'm done with you. I WILL BE SAD NO LONGER ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.........................CLICK

last update of this week

I just had a marvelous movement at work. nuff said on that

i just wanted to reiterate (or i wouldn't call this space overlyverbose) I DO in fact have racist bones in my body. I hate all stupid people. I hate stupid black people, brown people, yellow people, but especially white people. I have a general distrust of white people. I haven't dated too many whitey but the ones i have, have been dry, banal, and well, extremely racist in a kkk kinda way. I was raised on sesame street and reaganomics. It could be those reganomics that began my trist with trusting whitey but seriously, i just can't stand them. they freak me out. first people to have an agenda to have it their way right away. well heres something for you bk broiler. I don't trust you or your self righteous, god given right to all the perks with being white, selves. Screw you. have a plan and follow it, honestly. Most other racists are just stupid (again-which i hate) because they're uneducated and this is due in part because of whitey not wanting them to have said education. either way...i hate whitey, i love my fellow man and woman, but god do i hate you stupid fucks that aren't even reading this cause you only stay on your upper crust sites or you're too poor and ignorant to have a computer.

to my other note thats frustrating me, as this has turned into my personal bitch blog. I'm doing a freelance movie poster and i did what they asked for despite my warnings that the images weren't high enough in quality to accomplish what they wanted. They told me to push forward and see what i could do, but photoshop can only do so much to tighten up a picture that is blurry and pixelated. when they saw my finished comp they said to go in the direction that i had originally wanted. I cranked out something i thought hit all the marks and rules of a movie poster AND made it look good. They want all the stars to show however even without many images and limiting me to 640x480 screen caps that haven't come out all that well. I cranked this thing out and they didn't like it. I'm charging them a flat rate, a cheap one as i thought originially this would be an easy thing. Well, now i have to do a 3rd comp, and a flyer as well. The price is going up and the work is now dumbed down because there was no real principle photography for key art, just wardrobe. i'm just about done with the "can you have something to me in 2 hours?" i'll work this weekend and go at it and get something done. however the second comp is going in my book. Nuff said.

holy fuck batdung

i've been pretty busy lately. I've been forced to do extra work AT WORK lately as the computer at home isn't operational. I've had one music album cover i've had to do, a movie poster for an hbo film festival movie and i picked up another cd cover that we have to do a photoshoot tomorrow morning for. One album is all but done and the movie poster is finally moving in a direction that i want it to move. The first comp was just bad but it was requested by the clients to do it specifically that way. I maintained that the images were not of the quality but they persisted and now that it is close to the wire on printing they wanted me to go in a different direction. I suggested a direction that was far more appropriate for the oddities of the movie and suggestive enough for the quirk of the flick. It was 100% photoshop and i gotta say i think i pulled it off pretty well. It needs tweaking but i think i'll make mondays deadline.

If you happened to catch the office last night it was the funniest 1:30 in tv ever. I bought the friggin episode on itunes just for the first couple minutes. Ding! Altoid? I feel obligated to post some links that sayshuh has been sending so here they come:

aight i'm getting really bad at blogging

I actually had fun at work last night cutting and pasting comps together until 1130 pm, but it was better than what i have been doing. also helps drinking beer while doing it. I also had a leisurely morning and afternoon before going to work today but i found out there must be an exposed electrical wire next to our street sign as the doof peed on it and started screaming bloody murder and when a dog does that it's not a good sound, but no sign of anything that coulda hurt him there. i have to call the city. he's fine, went running off when i called him.

on more interesting news, i have come up with a new name for the salmon. It's actually her porn name which people who know me, know i come up with good porn names. i have christened her "Fleur de Licious." oh yeah thats the ticket. aight until i get another wild butthair or take my herbal remedy, until next time!

this...is...jeo...black history month

I listened to the I Have a Dream speech today and found it still to be one of the best speeches i've ever heard. MLK is an amazing orator and this is why he still is tops on my list even above the jezuz dude on people i would like to dine/hang with. Jezuz, i just wanted to have a heated conversation to see if he was more like a david koresh. But i digress, MLK made a damn fine speech way back when and I think you should give it a listen here.

on another note on the side of freedom check this. Love the fact taht Aqua Teen Hunger Force can shut down a freaking city. I was told that the gentlemen only answered questions from the media about different hair styles and not about the case. Who says pot only leads to harder things. Check em here. ATHF is a threat to Boston, and Here
Dontcha just love america? yeah me neither



just watch it you wannabe subversives
