Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is feeling a little blue these days. For one, he's going to miss the next three months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus and microfracture in his knee. And now, according to his blog, it appears Agent Zero and his girlfriend are taking a break from one another:
You know what? When stuff goes bad it goes bad. I just broke up with my girlfriend and I don't get to see my kids for a while because of the breakup.Honestly, I should cry a river for Gilbert. Anyone who's ever gone through a breakup -- or dealt with someone driving them crazy -- knows it ain't fun. However, I'm inclined to believe this "breakup" won't last very long.
That happened right before those two games last week. I was so happy, went out and performed well with 30 and 11 and came back the next night with 28 and I was thinking, "Oh yeah, it was her that was bringing my spirits down..."
Now she's back in California. You ask for space, you know, because everything feels closed in ... the house is dirty, the kids are drawing on the walls and on the couches and you're thinking, "Oh man, I can't do this. I'm not playing well and I'm coming home to all this."
So you ask for space and now you got clean walls, clean furniture and you're lonely.
And now you got to sit out three months. Oh man. I guess it has to get bad so it can get good.
After all, this is the same woman who chased him all over our great country with the intent to embarrass and serve him a paternity suit on national television.
From a Washington Post article on Arenas:
The ordeal went on so long it actually became a running gag with some of the Wizards. "We made it into a big joke," Arenas said. "My teammates would say, 'Gil's on the run again,' or, 'You dodged that one like "The Matrix." ' Oakland, Sacramento, Houston, Chicago. They were trying to serve me everywhere. I would stay under an alias."
In Oakland, Arenas narrowly escaped being served when teammate Donnell Taylor was mistaken for him at a practice, giving Arenas enough time to flee.
"All I heard was: 'We're going to get him by any means necessary. If he's shooting a free throw, we'll run on that floor and embarrass him, that's what we're going to do.' It got that crazy and nasty," Arenas said.
One would think drama like that would be enough to break up a couple, but instead it was a reason to procreate again. The two recently had a second child.
So if he couldn't break it off with a woman who had him hiding in hotel rooms under aliases then, I doubt a dirty house, some crayon on the wall, in addition to three months of couch-sitting is going to make these two call it quits permanently now.

All girls from California are not bad house keepers! Man, If all I had to do was keep the house and kids straight I would do it. She's just a lazy-ass. But if she tried to get you once Gilbert you should have know she was not about to do right! Just keep praying god will show you the right way to go and he will bring the right person into your life. Hey, I'm still praying myself for that mr. right. Just don't go looking for someone let them find you.
Take Care.

It all boils down to this, Gilbert is a 25 year old child who likes to play video games and chat with hootchies on myspace. He makes over 11 million a year, and can't hire a maid to clean his 3.5 million dollar 4 bedroom house once or twice a week. You keep having these babies with this girl without marriage. You should have just kept her and the kids in that 5 bedroom house down the street if you weren't ready to be a real family man. To be honest, I knew with you and Laura's history you weren't made for each other. Just be a father to your kids.
