    So this morning was really suck. I don't want to go into details, but it was bad. So I'm having a lousy day when Jeff Van Gundy walks into the Apple Store in the Galleria. Awesome. I know he lives in Houston, but it was cool to see JVG.

    So my mood has balanced out a bit by this time. I go through the rest of the day pretty balanced out and clock out.

    And then SHAQ came into the store. Shaquille freaking O'Neal. Into the Apple Store. Yes, I know the ClutchFans rule.

    Yup. Today turned out to be pretty awesome. Not only did I see JVG, but I got to talk to Shaq, the 2nd greatest center I've ever met. The Big Aristotle was very quiet, and I mocked his Blackberry. I told him to grab an iPhone.

    Yeah, I blurred myself out. Shut it. Most of you who've been around for a while have probably seen a picture of me at one time or another anyway.

    I think Jeff was just there for support. He was either playing with an iPhone or an iPod Tough; I was really busy at the time. Shaq bought an iPhone.

    Reminds me of Hancock.
