The Sandpit from Sam O'Hare on Vimeo.

To give you a little background of why we even went there was because we watch this show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and my wife LOVES the off the beaten path type places to eat. She saw it, looked it up, and was like, we have to try it out.

Now, I know by this time you're at the edge of your seat in anticipation for what could possibly get my taste buds doing the chicken noodle soup dance. People, it's CHINESE AND MEXICAN. Together. BOOM! That just happened.

I can not even hope to explain to you how good this food is. I love Mexican food (of course I grew up 1 block from a Filibertos (carne asada w/rice). Man, let me tell you, if you have a chance to go there -- look, they let you try out the stuff. I was sold on the black beans and, yes, they are the musical fruit.

All gas aside, the place goes down on my list as all time best. If I wasn’t on a semi sorta strict diet, I would definitely eat there every day hands down. Here's a link if you live in PHX and haven’t tried it. http://www.chinobandido.com/

I'll say this is more exciting than going to the Grand Canyon and you'll be full when you leave. So check it out. More reviews to come.

Wait, let me explain The Biggest Loser. I fall out laughing when the contestants scream and yell with spit and barf in their teeth when they do the workouts. As someone who at one point screamed and yelled, too, I laugh because they do it so dramatically. Almost like they take more than one take. "Aaahhhhh, yeah, we're gonna need to put more granola in her teeth and drench her shirt with water and on three have her scream like someone is about to run over her foot with a truck."

But The Office and 30 Rock are flat out hilarious.

The second show I wanted to know about was True Blood. I'm a big fan. It’s a great show. Great mix between girly love stuff and cool man stuff, aka, killing and cool creatures and twists.

Let me know people. Get the scoop for me.

There are a lot of ways to donate, but one easy way to donate $10 is to text "HAITI" to "90999" and it will be charged to your cell phone bill.

Being here in Phoenix is truly a blessing. I have had so much fun just being on the court, trying to get better every day. The guys on this team, the staff, the front office people, they really are class acts.

Some questions I always get are how is it back home with the ticket situation and how is it playing with Steve Nash?

Playing at home for me has been divine timing. Being newly married, all I do is spend time with my wife and with my close friends. It's funny, people said marriage is work but if you truly Love that person it's not work at all. But anyway, sorry I got off track.

Being at home and tickets. I'd have to say that it hasn’t been bad at all because people see me more than just at games. They just take turns, plus most of my people already had tickets so that helps.

The big question: playing with Steve Nash. Well, I'll say this, I truly try and pick his brain every chance I get. He is a two-time MVP and easily, without a doubt, the best floor general I've ever played with or seen. His basketball IQ has to be the highest I've ever seen. The game, at times because of the way he plays, seems so slow and he just takes what the defense gives him. It's our job to be in our spots where we're threats to make a play. The way he takes care of his health is so disciplined. Maybe in 5 or 6 years I'll start on exactly what he's doing, but being here I've really changed my diet around a lot and I have to say I haven’t felt better.

On another subject, I do miss the city of Portland. I'll be back during the summer, of course, rolling in my Lincoln, going to the same ole spots, playing pickup at PSU and University of Portland, doing pilates at Nike, and making sure I keep a watchful eye over the beautiful city from my high-rise.

I've learned a lot about myself this year and we're only halfway through. It's been an experience that I can definitely talk to my friends about all summer.

I have to take a time out and just say that, in all honesty, I can not thank the people who support me either on or off the court enough (I don’t mind if you don’t like my game), whether you’ve supported my AAU team, the Bull Dogs, the MS Foundation, or if you still have my bobble head up in your store -- I truly appreciate.

The NBA and this game for us is short lived and these memories that we have of each other - good or bad - are things that we can always talk about. As I sit on a plane typing this, I can only think about 3 things:

1. I think about thanking God every second for even having the opportunity to be out there playing
2. I think about how can I help our team get better and how can I improve on my game
3. And then I think about what an experience I'm going through, what an opportunity. And if I were to look back to when I was growing up pretending to be Jordan or Barkley on the outside courts, maybe somewhere someone has the updates on 2k7 where I have the 3pt shot above my head and they love using my guy to rain tre balls on unsuspecting opponents, lol.

But anyways people, thanks again for reading. I'm going to keep up, maybe give you guys a weekly blog again telling you about what's going on a little more. It'll help me work on my writing, which I love to do, and it’ll keep the people who read my stuff an inside scoop (sorta) on whats going on.

So, see ya next week.

So tell me if you guys make resolutions and how you're doing on them so far.

What do you think?

"When you look backwards you take your eyes of your goals ahead of you."

My new year's resolution is to appreciate every day and have fun growing up and around the people I love and care for.

I hope your new year is great.
