Umm...How did the Dallas Mavericks not win the NBA Finals in 2004 when they had this lineup?

As if having Nash dish it to Dirk isn't enough, they also had three other all-stars in their potential starting lineup...

PG Steve Nash
SG Michael Finley
SF Josh Howard
PF Antawn Jamison
C Dirk Nowitzki

Bench - Antoine Walker (He used to be awesome, I swear) and a bunch of other decent players like Travis Best, Tony Delk, Marquis Daniels, Danny Fortson, Shawn Bradley

Oh wait a second...I know why they didn't win the 2004 NBA Finals!

'Cause the Detroit Pistons had this roster!!...

Coach: Larry Brown
PG Chauncey Billups
SG Richard Hamilton
SF Tayshaun Prince
PF Rasheed Wallace
C Ben Wallace

Bench - Mehmet Okur, Mike James, Corliss Williamson, Elden Campbell, Lindsey Hunter, and Darko Milicic!!!<===Everyone in Michigan's least favorite player.

Actually, I think I hate Joey Harrington more than Darko. Darko at least had a tiny bit of skills. Or maybe it just seemed like that because we never got a chance to see how bad he truly is at basketball considering he never got in a game while playing for the Pistons. Seriously, I swear, he played like a total of 15 minutes in  three years for us. Harrington on the other hand, for some reason never got taken out of the game. The ball was always in Joey's hands and Joey always sucked worse than Erik Kramer, Charlie Batch, Andre Ware, Mike McMahon, Dan Orlovsky, Jeff Garcia, Jon Kitna, Ty Detmer, Dave Krieg, Gus Frerotte, Rodney Peete, and Josh McCown combined. That's how bad Joey is. To be honest, I really believed Joey Harrington was going to make the Lions an awesome team, help us win the super bowl, be the next Tom Brady, turn the franchise into a powerhouse, etc. Did any of that happen? Nope. No sir. Instead of being the next great one, Joey was terrible. Seriously. This is how bad Joey Harrington is at football...

Joey Harrington is so bad at quarterback that he made a cameo at my son's pee-wee football practice and demonstrated how to be a terrible quarterback...Then the all the kids took turns tackling Joey...

Just kidding, I don't have a son. I'm not kidding about how much I hate Joey though. Actually, I am a little bit. But I am curious about one thing, how the hell did NFL scouts see potential in Joey?

I mean, he's sooooooo sh*tty.....

Like, for example, Rex Grossman is an average quarterback, perhaps average is being generous too. It's true, and everyone realizes it, however, Rex is still significantly better than Joey Harrington.

And another example is like how Rex Grossman usually throws interceptions and stuff from time to time, but everyone so often he'll have a game where it's like, "Wow...Did Grossman really throw four touchdowns today?" But not with Joey though...Nope. With Joey, it's more like, "Wow...Did Joey really throw four complete passes today? Good for Joey!!" Yea you Joey. I have a stronger arm than Joey, and my father once told me I throw like a girl, which shows how pathetic you are Joey.

Okay, I'm done. Wait...maybe not...

I hope I get an email from someone who routes for Oregon football saying how Joey is great and how I need to shut up about him and stuff...

Well, if I get one of those emails all I gotta say is that the reason you guys (Oregon football) didn't get a chance to play in the BCS Championship game a few years back against Miami, FL was because your quarterback sucked so damn bad...Sure, the rest of your team may have been awesome, but not Joey...No way...Not Joey...

Today I take my love for dogs and crank it up a notch and Jerry Seinfeld's personal trainer would say.

It's go time...

The idea of a service dog, or therapy dog even, fascinates me for some reason. Here is an interesting piece on types of complementary therapies I read in my book for Exploring Health Professions class today:

Alternative and Complementary Therapies
Pet Therapy - Uses pets such as dogs, cats, and birds, to enhance and stimulate an interest in life, helps individuals overcome physical limitations, decrease depression, increase self-esteem, socialize, and lower stress levels and blood pressure.

Back in the day there were only complementary therapies, then it was said that drugs were all that mattered, now today they're saying it's both that matter. I'll go with what they're sayin' today : )

And here is something I just wrote which tells why each of my dogs is great:

Shawnee
German Shepherd/Border Collie mix

Shawnee stimulates the life in me and brings me out of the great depressions. Her high-energy drive for work and play allows me to realize that life is worth living. If I am ever feeling down, I think of Shawnee and the zest for life she is blessed with.
 

Tatum
Yellow Labrador/Shar Pei mix

Tatum is a noble spirit that will protect me no matter what happens. She is shy, but does not lack courage when courage is needed. She is also the perfect dedicated and friendly family pet. Tatum truly is "man's best friend."

Hector
Beagle (a chubby one at that)

In my Mother's words, "Hector is a gentle creature." Though it is also his curiously for new things and Buddha-like qualities that stand out in him If Hector could be reincarnated into a human being one day, that person would likely bring forth world peace.

I discovered that I can do a fairly good Morgan Spurlock impression. You know, the guy from the movie "Super Size Me..."

Unfortunately for you in my chubby wav file Matt McCoughnahey also made a cameo. I'm sorry, he was at my house and he insisted!!

I'm leavin' this update up for a while. I just find that file too funny at the moment...

Some harmless, strange, and kinda inappropriate "I'm so fa
t" jokes...

Wow Zachary, those psychiatric meds are sure making you gain weight...

You ain't kiddin' Little John...In fact, guess how fat I am right now?

How fat are you?

[Here comes the boom...]

I'm so fat that one time I accidentally stepped on some gum then I couldn't peel the gum off the bottom of my custom combat boot so I just decided to eat my entire boot in hopes to consume some extra calories...

I'm so fat that one time I went to a wallet factory tour and I raised my hand and said, "When are we gonna eat the butter?" 'cause my mind was so occupied on being a butter-hungry Antarctica-ass beached whale...

I'm so fat that a doctor did an X-ray of me and all he found was fat everywhere on my body and he was like, "God damn! You're fuckin' fat! Woah...big-time fat!!..."

I'm so fat that one day at lunch in high school five years ago I ordered "everything" with "everything on it" and all of the other students started chanting, "Get in shape! Get in shape! Get in shape!"

I'm so fat that I've got tattoos of hoagies and grinders all over my back...

I'm so fat that I think everything taste better when it's deep-fried in hotdog juice grizzle...then again...and again...until it looks like a true hotdog...

I'm so fat that one time I couldn't put on my own damn seat belt so I was forced to buy a newer, bigger car and now everyone calls me the young adult male who buckles up in his custom-made vehicle for hippo-humans...

I'm so fat that I cheat on my loving wife of fifty years by banging Mrs. Butterworth over and over again 'till she moans like a wildebeest all so I can get closer to her secret legendary giant sugary dump truck...

"Wait, I think the English Mastiff is gonna take a fat dump any moment now. This is something that must be witnessed me Ma..." says a little stinky boy.

"No, come along Skunk-a-doodle," replies the stinky boy's Mother.

"Excuse me, were you talking to me?" says a man accidentally overhearing the conversation.

"No, my son is also named Skunk-a-doodle..." the Mother tells the man.

Put that in your beer bong and beer bong it ya big dumb beer-bongin' son of a Peanuts character...

I don't even know what I'm talking about...

However, now I do : )

'CAUSE IT'S TIME FOR ANIMAL WARS!!!

Rapid Disco Dancin' Moose Vs. Mega-Buck

Hydrophobic Old Yeller Vs. Thee one and only chicken wing shoulder blade named Funky Chicken on roller blades

Chuckleberry Ass Buffalo Vs. Taco Bell food supply

World Largest Ever Recorded Living Insect Vs. two-thirds lb. beef

Drunken hobo in an unstable manic state Vs. an sociopathic eighteen year old with several tattoos of Spongebob on his privacy

Woah...now that's crazy...

ANIMAL WARS!!!

What ever happened to "CRAZ-ZAY" everybody?!?

This is how to know if you have Borderline Personality Disorder...

I remember when I went to school I was so damn crazy that I had to ride in that little-ass bus, take the class at the end of the school, and the teachers even had to end our class a half hour early just in case I went CRAZ-ZAY!!!

I know I don't have borderline personality disorder because although the disease is often confused with schizophrenia, I know that I consistently dislike Tom Cruise whereas if I were borderline, my opinion would almost certainly shift between good and evil of this scientologist...

And I know I don't have BPD 'cause Chris Rock on the other hand is always cool because he can make fun of craziness, and crazy people find it hilarious!!!

Oh yea, I forgot to mention that I'm trying out for the Phillies tomorrow...AGAIN!! Wish me Kruk - John Kruk (former lumberjack-type Philly)

Uncle Buck...more like...Uncle Kruk!! - John Kruk

Kruk you!!! - John Kruk

Awe Kruks... - John Kruk

Feelin' Kruky? - Guess who?...John Kruk...

And I must mention that John Kruk is also ALWAYS cool too!

This post is undeniable proof that I don't have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)!!!!!!

Sooo...do you like John Kruk ALL the time or does your opinion of him shift from time to time??

That is how you know if you have BPD...

I know what you're thinking...Rockadoodle was a great movie...

This however is not thee only big news of the day...

I'm in Schizophrenia Digest magazine!!!

Here's a chubby link to the article

Well done Kristine Vesley!! I couldn't have done an article on Zachary Odette any better, and I am Zachary Odette!

Okay, I got some mental health jokes for ya'll...

ZacharyOdette.com - a riddle wrapped in a stigma...???...Eh?

"Oh no, I'm 10 minutes late for work and I've still got to take 35 showers!!!!!" - An obsessive compulsive person

Is it okay for me to crack obsessive-compulsive disorder jokes? I mean, I don't have the disorder, but we are in similar disorder spectrums, kinda...Oh well, if not I can always make fun of people with the funniest mental illness of them all...CLOWN PHOBIA!!

The all-time greatest f*cking quote of all time:

"You're not secretly going to leave the room and come back dressed as a clown soon are you?" - a person with clown phobia says this to every person they meet for the first time

Wait, I got another good one...

"I'm at clown rehabilitation because clowns have ruined my life." - a person with clown phobia<<==nice and simple

Oh geez, I could go on about clown phobia for an endless amount of time...

You want to know a great thing about clown phobia though? There are clown phobia-help websites that have 24/7 hotline numbers in case someone with clown phobia has a clown-panic attack at 2:30 in the morning and really needs to discuss it with anyone except for the clown they just encountered! Ha!!

Wait a clown-gone minute...Are there even 24/7 hotlines for people with schizophrenia?!? Haha...there better be dammit!!...I'm pissed...Stupid clown phobia wimps get their own damn hotline, but we don't!...C'mon!!!!!!

"Welcome to clown rehab. Today is day 1, by day 30 you will all be shooting a real clown between the eyes with a shotgun."

I must confess that I am a clown college drop out. My real name is Uncle Bonkers...

I told you all I could go on about clowns 4-ever!!!

Wait, here's an even better one...

"Scientology is for clown college drop outs. Trust me. I've seen it a million times." - Bozo the Clown, currently a professor at Harvard Clown

Wow...I said it...I don't even know much about scientology to be honest other than you have to be against psychiatric meds, smoking cigarettes is okay though, and being a clown college drop out will score you major points someway er other...

Go on send me an email all of you scientologists. I'll just respond to it claiming you are a clown college drop out.

Remember when Gary Busey explained the, "have to," in the movie Rookie of the Year? I learned most of what I know in life from that scene...

"WOn't Let ME baACK iNTO CLOWN CollEGE won'TS YA?!? I'll START ME OWN ReliGiOn!!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAH" - that Hubbard guy

Chewbacca has a pet cross-eyed alligator named "Treer."

Thank you, you've been great.

But before I leave I must ask this, what's the deal with some clowns being so happy, yet others...being so sad...

: )

I watched Dog Whisperer tonight, and this quote from Cesar stuck out in my mind...

"A dog is like medication without side effects." - Mr. Millan

That's another one for the quote hall of fame from some guy who calls himself, "A Dog Whisperer."

And did you know, some place called Asheville, North Carolina is rated the happiest place to live in America?

If the show I saw which told me about this would have said that statistics indicate that Swartz Creek, Michigan is the most depressing place to live, I would have packed my shit and headed to Asheville!! Somethin's up!!

[I show up to Asheville, North Carolina]
"Surprise!! I'm here everyone!! Glad to see me er what?!?" - me
[everyone in Asheville, North Carolina precedes to become psychotic and depressed]

[mean while, back in Swartz Creek, Michigan happiness statistics begin to skyrocket at an exponential rate thanks to the departure of Zachary Odette]

Yea right, I enjoy living in Swartz Creek, Michigan very much. I moved here a few years back and I like how the town is so small and likely has a local barber shop ran by a bald guy named Scott Brown who proudly gives everyone in town a shitty haircut and has been doing so for thirty-nine years without taking one sick day.

"I've never seen so many people with such bad haircuts." - a tourist says to their friend while leaving Swartz Creek, Michigan
"Yea, someone really needs to fire Scott Brown or at least teach him to style hair...Who's ever heard of a bald barber anyway?..." - the other tourist replies.

I don't have any empathy. Really, I don't. None, because I don't know what it's like to walk in another person's shoes, and on top of that, I don't even know what it's like to walk in my own shoes 'cause I'm so damn craz-zay!

And I must point out that I was never afraid of clowns as a kid like some kids, but I was afraid of myself, and thus terrified of the house of mirrors, so I was afraid of going to the circus, and that is why I got along so well with the kids who really were afraid of clowns. We had something in common...those damn circuses...

The Schizophrenia Digest Winter 2008 issue, the one featuring me, hits the shelves on January 14 (er hits somewhere 'cause you likely will have trouble finding this magazine on a shelf in a bookstore). Go buy it somehow.

Hint: http://www.schizophreniadigest.com/

Oh yea, and I'm naked in the magazine...I must point out this blatant lie...

Are you crazy and in need of a service dog? Well, maybe you can get one like you've always wanted!!...'Cause you're crazy!!

I remember watching this show that used to be on National Geographic not that long ago called, "Dogs with Jobs," and in one episode this woman had a Boxer whom guided her through grocery stores and down the street and stuff. The Boxer was a breed of dog though, not like Rocky Balboa er anything like that...

If you believed that the woman I was just referring to had a real boxer for a guide (like a tough-fighter with gloves on) then maybe you are in need of a service dog 'cause you're so damn gullible...
