Welcome to my blog!

Hi,my name is Philip Francis Fitzpatrick,and I want to be an aspiring NBA player. I wish I could play for the Milwaukee Bucks,and this is a fantasy blog about my life in the NBA in my rookie season of 2005-06. I was born on January 1,1984 in New Rochelle,N.Y.,the oldest of 9 children. My father's name is Henry Francis Fitzpatrick,and my mother's name is Patricia Margaret O'Hurley-Fitzpatrick. I have 8 other brothers and sisters,from oldest to youngest,they are:Kathleen,Daniel,Irene,Andrew,Ian,Francis,Maureen and Margaret. We also have an uncle,Msgr. Hugh Fitzpatrick,who is the pastor of our church,Our Lady of the Immaculate Heart Parish,in New Rochelle. I went to Blessed Sacrament School as a kid,and I went to Iona Preparatory High School,where I became famous for my basketball skills. I would become a great basketball player at Iona College,and I met my girlfriend,Erin there. In the summer of 2004,Erin and I were married,and after our graduation,Erin gave birth to 2 wonderful kids,Liam and Ireland. The reason why I am blogging is my love for the game,my family,the Irish people,and more. After a great senior season at Iona,where I averaged 19 points per game,11 rebounds per game,2 assists per game and 3 blocks per game,I was named College Player of the Year in 2005,and I was chosen by the Bucks as the #1 overall pick in the NBA Draft. The Bucks expect a lot from me,and with my 7'1",250 lb. frame,they can expect a lot from me. Even the media gave me a great nickname:The Lumbering Leprechaun! Well,that's all for this 1st edition of this blog,in my next blog,I'll tell you about my first game!
