Go Boston!
This is the only time I’ll ever write or say those words ever again.
BEAT L.A.!
Lord Stanley
This commercial made me officially excited for the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in five years.
This has been a breakthrough year for great sports commercials. The whole “There Can Be Only One” campaign for the NBA Playoffs has been outstanding as well, as well as the awesome SNL parody.
Weird thing I just realized
The last time the Yankees didn’t make the playoffs, I was in 4th grade. They’re in last place now, and it’s still really early and the Yanks always had a knack for getting hot and reeling off winning streaks in late July and August, but this year feels different. For the first time in a long time, I don’t have the feeling like “We’re gonna win it all this...
Well, that didn't work...
Number six in the draft. Chicago and Miami winning the top two picks is basically like getting kicked in the balls with a boot made of fire. Well, at least there’s LeBron in 2010…
The Lottery
The NBA Draft starts in a little under a half an hour. For good luck, I decided to wear my Giants Super Bowl T-Shirt, one of the oldest Yankees shirt I have, and I spent about ten minutes rifling through my clothes to find a Knicks shirt. I’m also wearing a Giants slipper on my right foot and a Yankees slipper on my left foot. I don’t have any Knicks slippers for whatever reason,...
Grand Theft Awesome
I finally beat GTA IV over the weekend, which makes it the first game I’ve beaten for the current generation of systems. That really should sum up how great the game is right there, because I never beat any games. It’s not because games are too hard, or because there aren’t any other good games to play, it’s just that eventually and inevitably, I just stop playing for...
Things I Like Part 342342423: Iced Coffee
Every day, right before I get into work, I buy an iced coffee from one of the street vendors outside my building (I say this as if I own the building). Sometimes, I’ll switch the style up and go to one of the stores and get a bagel w/ cream cheese and an iced coffee. Then I’ll head into work and savor the ever-loving goodness that the iced coffee represents. Then at lunch,...
Mom's Day
It’s Mother’s Day, and because I am a great son, I told my mom we should have dinner at the Shanghai Cafe in Chinatown. My mom told me, “Let’s meet at the Hop Kee Restaurant, then we can walk over to the same place together.” I don’t understand why we can’t meet in front of the restaurant we’re going to, but I guess that’s why I’ll...
GTA
GTA 4 the best reviewed game of all time and there’s not really much left to say about it. It’s really, really, really great. I haven’t really gotten to fiend on it aside from the day it came out because I went out pretty much every day last week, but I thought about it constantly. I love that game as much as I imagine I would love one of my children, or like, a horse that...
