Hey everyone, Cuzzy is on the way back! This is no lie as I have been working on finally freeing up some time to get Cuzoogle back up to par.

As you know the last year was a crazy time and it left very few hours for blogging. The job is going great, Harrison is doing great and the time seems right to jump back in the blog pool.

The crazy thing is, that over the last year when time started to dwindle for posting, the blog has somehow stayed afloat, with really good traffic.

On Feb. 1 it was the two year anniversary of Cuzoogle and that really got me inspired to pick things up.

I also learned that less seems to be more. I used to pump out 4-5 less than great posts a day and now I can see 1 of 2 being good enough. Honestly, 5 good ones a week will probably work. We will see.

I need to get back into the social side of things as well. While building up all the networks for my 9-5 job, Cuzoogle has taken a back seat. I will be working my way back in to help friends out with links and promotion soon so stay tuned for that.

Enjoy Super Sunday everyone.

Did you ever doodle or draw on your desk when you were little? Of course, we all have. It was usually adding your name or doing that heart thing with initials. Well the schools are cleaning up and turning to the law for help.

A New York City middle school student has been arrested for doodling on her desk with a marker.

Twelve-year-old Alexa Gonzalez scribbled “Lex was here 2/1/10″ on her desk Monday. She also wrote “I love my friends Abby and Faith.” The girl says the doodles could have been erased, according to the Daily News.

Don’t worry folks, she won’t be doing hard time or anything. Gonzalez has been assigned eight hours of community service, a book report and an essay on what she’s learned from the experience.

Just imagine what would happen if they catch you putting gum under your desk!

There were plenty of times during the Raptors 108-99 defeat of the hopeless New Jersey Nets on Wednesday when it looked like 4-43 for the visitors from the south would become 5-43.

But thankfully for the Toronto faithful it was a couple of unheralded players who came to the rescue as the Raptors made it 15 straight games where they had topped the 100 points – a 10-5 record in that spell helped them move 4.5 games ahead of the ninth-ranked team in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

That the Raptors are only 5.5 games out of Boston now at the top of the Atlantic Division is all the more unbelievable given the fact that they were trailing one of the worst teams in NBA history by 12 points during the second quarter.

Well we are just past halfway through the season and it’s one of the Raptors usual Atlantic Division rivals who are making many of the headlines in the NBA, and for all of the wrong reasons.

At the 43-game mark, the New Jersey Nets were tied for the worst record in the league’s history – 3-40 – and seriously face the ignominy of being the worst team ever to play professional basketball in North America if they can’t win another six games over the rest of the season.

Bereft of top-level talent, the standout Brook Lopez apart, the Nets are on track to beat Philadelphia’s 9-73 record in the 1972-3 season (starting in the year of my birth as it happens), a quite dreadful team who somehow managed to go on a run of five wins in seven games after hitting a nadir at 4-58 with 20 games left.

Of course they went on to lose their last 13 games, having also lost their first 15, leaving me wondering just how Fred Carter managed to average 20 points in such a futile season!! NBA Predictions certainly wouldn’t have backed him to do that given his team’s results!

Lopez must know how that feels by now, though, with an inexperienced crew around him (let’s not forget he is only a sophomore pro) and with injuries having cost almost all of their starters and key bench players plenty of playing time.

Although they ended their 11-game losing streak in midweek against the Clippers (nothing to write home about really), should they lose their next two games (Washington and Philly at home) the writing will almost certainly be on the wall since February is a horror month when the Nets must face the likes of Boston, Cleveland and other red-hot teams like Charlotte.

But it is doubtful whether anyone currently with the team will be able to stop new owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who takes over at the end of the season, sweeping the staff clean when he starts work proper. A new coach and a series of high-priced free agents might be the only way to forget a 2009-10 season that could go down in the annals of horror stories across all sports.

At least in Lopez, Devin Harris and a couple of other starters forced into big minutes when they weren’t ready for it, there are a few building blocks to start with – other than that, doctor, NBA Picks suggest that this is a hopeless case!
