As the seconds ticked off the clock during the second O.T. of Game Six of the Boston-Chicago Play OFF Series, the pessimist in me had a declared the game a wrap. Then with only seconds on the clock, Ray Allen scored a three pointer,(one of nine scored in the game) pushing the game into O.T. number 3.
When Pierce was fouled out of the game during the third OT, my heart sunk. I could feel Victory slipping away.
With the Bulls at the Free Throw Line only seconds away from the end of the game, I start chewing my nails even more.
Three seconds left. Rando shoots. He misses. In the first period, the Celtics were trailing the Bulls by 11 points,after 3 O.T. the Celtics lose by one point. Looks like I will be spending Saturday Night in front of the TV. Celtics have home court advantage in game 7. I expect to see them face off against Orlando Magic in series two. Lets go BOSTON.Photo

I LoVE Duchebags

Today, while riding the subway I noticed three young guys standing together in a group. Upon first glance, I found them attractive (well, at least 2/3 of them, dude number 3 had his back to me). I had a book with me, but was unable to concentrate, as their conversation was rather distracting , being within earshot,(Yeah, I'm crazy nosy, what!)I overheard their conversation. Upon hearing it, it was confirmed that these individuals were duchebags ie: the kind of guy I (stupidly) would be attracted to.
Not only did they swear every other word, but they had an extended conversation about one of the guys interactions with a "prude bitch" who didn't want to give him head ("dude, I've known her for five years, and she's never even touched my d***, I talked her into giving me a hand job but she wouldn't give me head..." ). YUCK. They then went on to hate on their friend who was spending time with relatives from Uruguay instead of them "Dude, what are you gonna do with your family?" ::Sigh:: Why are all the remotely attractive dudes schmucks? Hmmm?
I need to stop being shallow. 'Til then I will continue being the duchebag lover. "A" is right, I need to start going to church, and bag a choir boy...

It's not secret that when looking for a job, it's most often more about who you know, rather than what you know. Which is why, I have been trying to find my way to an Ed2010 Happy Hour Networking event. In the past two years, this has not been an easy task as I have always had to work on Tuesday nights, which is when the events always seemed to take place.
However, for the last month or so, I have been on a "recession schedule," working four days a week. The change has altered my days off leaving me free on Tuesday Nights, and thus able to end.
This event was held at the Justin Timberlake owned "Southern Hospitality" (I'm kinda obsessed thanks to my friend Rachel). While I admit, that right before going I was nervous, I'm glad I went. All though things started of awkward, I was able to find people and break the ice-eventually. It was interesting meeting so many people with similar ambitions and so many different paths. As well as seeing people with doubts like me. Fried Pickles, free drinks and networking-sweet. Plus, one of the dudes I met there lives in Astoria too.

Its so beautiful out! I spent the day eating and reading on my balcony. Yay for sunshine, books, and Othello's deli Sandwiches! Now work =*(

New Eminem Leak Hits Web

"3 a.m." a single allegedly from rapper Eminem's upcoming release The Relapse has hit the net. The video is below. I have played it once and am not really feeling it. His new voice is irritating. I was hoping that the voice was just a gimmick for "I've relapsed" but he has used it on this song and "Crack a Bottle." I feel like he is trying to ride the curtails of T Pain and Lil' Wayne. He was better off when he was trying to bite off NAS and AZ on his debut Infinite like Eminem has fallen off...or I've just outgrown him. We'll see this May.

Shady's Airplay Slim in NYC

Looks like Slim Shady won't be getting much radio play in NYC when he releases his latest solo recording The Relapse.
Hot 97 DJ funkMaster Flex announced that he will not be spinning any records by Interscope Records on his radio program. The interscope ban is the result of an apparent beef between Flex and and Interscope representive "Nino."
While Flex didn't get specific he blasted Nino for bad decisions and declared he needed to get his money right.
Interscope is the parent company of Aftermath, Shady Records, and G-Unit records. Interscope is home to Dr. Dre, Eminem, Lady Gaga, 50 cent and Akon.
Other Hot 97 DJs are reportedly planning to follow suit.
Power 105, Hot's competitor, will not be playing rap much at all after cracking down on offensive lyrics.
Time will tell if this will follow through. I'm wondering what happened exactly?
Honestly, I don't even listen to the radio anymore though. Same five songs. I live for the internet. Photo

I didn't blog yesterday.
FAIL.

Moving on.
As everyone already knows, The Catholic Church is angry about the production of Angels and Demons, The movie adaptation of the Dan Brown book of the same name. The church had a similar reaction to the book/movie's sequal The Da Vinci Code. The church is outraged by the claims the book makes about Catholicism and Jesus. Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, Slammed Ron Howard, Brown and the book for "smearing" Catholic Church.
I think that the Vatican and the Catholic League could find bigger demons to fight than Brown and Howard. With all the horrible wars and crisis that are going on in this world, this should be the least of their problems.
Because really, what is the damage? Most of the people I KNOW who read Dan Brown's books take them as just entertaining little stories, not GOSPEL. (Actually, many of my acquientences consider his stories poorly-written rags, but that is another story. Are they afraid that this movie will give non-Catholics a poor concept of the church? Sorry, I think all the priest molestation cases took care of that!
Or do they worry that it will shake the faith of Catholics? Isn't faith supposed to mean, believing even when you can't see evidence to supporT it?
If your faith is broken by a movie/book, then it wasn't really there. Common' Catholics, grow a thicker skin. Find something more constructive to be outraged by.

I am the Anti-Literate

While in college, I was often mistaken for an English major. Amusing, because I would have made A TERRIBLE English major. Not just because of my constant grammar faux pas but my lack of interest in "English major books". Although I enjoy reading, I have very little interest in many of the academic books so-called classics. Case in point: Old Man and the Sea, The Awakening, Turning of the Screw, Call of the Wild, The Odyssey, Kidnapped, Black Manhattan, Julius Caesar, and Moll Flanders bored me to the point that I wanted to punch myself in the face, because that would be less painful.
In most of those books, there were several gaps of pages where despite my efforts I didn't even read it all. Oh, yes my eyes rolled over the text, but often my mind was thinking of something completely different. Often, after reading several pages, I would realize, I had no idea what I had just read. ::Sigh:::
I guess it was a good thing I majored in Psych? Except for that whole problem of selling T-shirts for a living.
