The playoffs and office chairs

Weird title huh? Yea, im sitting here thinking of ways to talk about the playoffs, and promote my startup at the same time, or one of my, and it doesn't come to me. Then I see CP3 get mad crazy on the Espuelas of San Antonio, who suddenly look older, slower and not as great as before (all the while I hear pundits saying they'll bounce back because of their experience, but does it occur to anyone that with experience comes AGE?).

Like I was saying, without sayin much, the spurs vs. hornets series so far is unique for me in that I love CP3's game, and the enthusiasm and vigor the Hornets play with, but have a sense of loyalty for the Spurs, having lived in SA and rooted for them during my days there. But here is my analogy for my dilemma in choosing a favorite: You have this great leather chair in which you have had many great experiences. Written a lot of great books, made a lot of great deals, etc. But it's starting to look old. I mean, its 8 years old! Creaks a bit, leather is chapped, you know, the signs are starting and your thinking about getting a new chair cause you have to. So your browsing online (at a site, say, like www.sitbetter.com) and see this damn slick chair, with nice lines, great colors, and and a good price. I mean, whats there not to like about the chair? Absolutely nothing. And although I have no assurances it will look like this in 5 years, I decide to buy this chair - why? Because the warranty tells me that it will last me at least three good years, until they have to extend CP3's contract.

So while I don't think that you should base your buying your office chairs on nba issues, I hope you see my dilemma and logic in this series. Not a bandwagon in so much as looking for a new chair. That's all. And FYI, I have lived in LA for a while, and have rooted (sigh) for the Clipshow for as long as I can remember, so cut me some slack for being enthralled by the magic of New Orleans.
And if you really are interested in buying a chair, as I hope you are, I really honestly have to say that we have developed our e commerce site to help you find the right chair for you. I am not just a retailer, but a person legitimately interested in helping you find the right solution. As evidenced by my comparison of office chairs to my nba team allegiance!

We'll talk soon. Snax.
