The Unabridged Version of Dan Dickau’s Daily Diary

10/1/2008: Dear Diary,
OMG! i’m going to warriors camp this season. i’m so excited. this is my big break. i can feel it!!! baron davis is gone. monta ellis is out. lol i’m a pg, they need a pg!!!! everyone always says to me opportunity will knock i just have to listen for it. (god, that’s so annoying EVERYONE SAYS THAT TO ME ALL THE TIME, LIKE YOUR TIME IS COMING DAN, YOUR TIME IS COMING DAN, HANG IN THERE. soooooo annoying.)

Anyways, this is totally the opportunity i’ve been waiting for! like the old saying says: 8 times a charm! i threw out my contract with my italian team because pshhhhh THIS IS THE NBA!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!

p.s. just because you don’t believe that i wanna dance don’t mean that i don’t want to …

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON’T BELIEVE THAT I WANT TO DANCE DON’T MEAN THAT I DON’T WANT TO.

october 10, 2008: dear diary,
watching preseason games is so lame. no one is really on top of their game. its hard to really get up for a preseason game. you have to hand yourself the gatorade.

that said, i wish coach would put me in. sigh.

10/13/2008: dear diary,

“you think you know point guardin

october 21: Dear diary,
a poem:
i am a tree
my root is a stone

i grow
i grow

ah
a bird
craft a nest upon my brow

kaw

kaw

kaw

save the trees
because i am a tree
now
don’t cut me down again
please

i dunno about the end. im thinking about growing a beard.
