Well, that's it folks. We weathered the storm. I didn't think I was going to make it out of the war after the battle with Stats, but after an absolute rout of Excel and Econ, finals laid down their arms in complete surrender. What better way than to celebrate with some new Kinetics and One Love? A few months ago they let out a quick teaser of Will You Be Remembered, with Missy Modell singing, just crushin the hook. After months of anticipation, they unleashed it right on the heels of their Office theme remix happy hour. Both songs are dope, but we have come to expect quality from these guys now. That said, color me impressed. It may not be at the level of Sign Language, but it is fire nonetheless. For those of you who are still on your finals grind, good luck, for the newly minted war heroes, happy summer.
P.S. Remember that post about how Brenton was excited about something huge, turned out to be a new song, Silly Girl. Shame on you, Brenton, for hyping me and everyone up. It pains me to say this because I like your songs, but this one pure garbage. Back to the drawing board kid.
I think Jim Mora summs up the last two minutes of that game pretty well. I know the refs sucked, and jeff green can't catch a pass, and danny ainge should be dead, but let's be honest you can't give up a 16029393-0 run to close the game. Also, why the fuck is Lebron crying after the game? Dude, you are lucifer in human form, there are like 7 people on earth who like you and they are the 6 actual Heat fans and that 1 slut you bang. Let's go Bruins.
Update-Doc is coming back. Fuck you lebron we are coming for you next year. Posted by Mucc.
I was going to get all fired up, calling the Heat cheaters and pussys and all sorts of things. Tell em' that we are going to kick their ass, or KG is going to eat their babies. But instead I've got some friendly advice for them: Don't let us win tonight. Just Don't. If there is one city you don't wanna give a couple more rounds to, it's Boston, just ask the members of the 04' Yankees.
Grand Rapids, Michigan (CNN) -- As a nation, either our kids are getting dumber or everyone else's are getting smarter. American 15-year-olds ranked 14th in reading, 17th in science and 25th in math in a study of students in 34 nations and nonnational regions. The Program for International Student Assessment study, coordinated every three years by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, definitively shows U.S. students are no longer ready to compete against the world's brightest. Which brings me to this: Why are we still giving them the summer off?

This is a joke right? What is this Burma? Look I've never heard of this Granderson bro, but he had to be that kid in 3rd grade that tells everyone to be quiet when the teacher leaves the room right? Just a pure brown-noser. But hey, I'm going to give LZ the benefit of the doubt here and consider what life would be like if children stayed in school all here round.
In short, it would suck. First off, by virtue of a simple argument, all of those other countries with higher reading % don't nearly have as many people in poverty, people that can't learn to read, as us because they simply don't have as many people. Numero uno in reading? Luxembourg. Population 35 and they are all bankers, so give me a break LZ, come to me when India can read like this. Secondly, math and science have never been our forte, and until we start convincing our kids to do math problems for 8 hours a day while getting hit with rulers like in Japan and China, it won't be. I'm not saying that the kids wouldn't benefit and learn more from school all the time, but all work and no play makes lil willie a dull boy. From an economics stand point it makes no sense, the kids will be pissed, the parents will be pissed, and productivity will just plummet. Mr. Granderson, you my friend are incorrect in your assessment. Last time I checked we want a country of men and women who know how to work hard, and party harder. Those are the children I want, not Ivan Drago Robots.
I just puked everywhere, all over 3, all over my Asian History study guide (sorry Fr. Clarke), all over the giant thing of Powerades I can buy from mac no since I lost my card for 5 weeks and have 700 bucks left, just puke everywhere. I just knew going overtime the Celts had nothing left. Rondo was a shadow of himself, still giving 100%, but simply not the same player, and the rest of em just didn't have enough in the tank. Garnett disappointed me tonight and that possession in OT where he had Dwayne Wade on him was terrible. Don't fade away big guy, just dunk on his midget ass. I can't really blame any of the Celtics though, they once again gave it their all. It ain't over, and with the Celtic mystique you never know what can happen. But I hurt for our boys in green, they worked hard and didn't get the better result. Survive and move on, that's what they must do, force the series back to the Bean, then force game 7, then it's all up to who wants it more. Gotta have some resolve.
Ps. What the fuck was with Bosh's celebrartion after that tip in? It's like congrats dude you went over the back on Ray Allen whose a foot shorter, and put a pinky find on a ball that was in the cylinder. You're a real man now bosh, you're tough now. Pussy.
I am so fired up right now. Finals week has sprung upon us and this is the final uber grind before summer. The end is so close I can taste it. This week 4 tests stand in my way and its looming over my head like the fear of Jose Reyes (my pride and joy/alltime favorite) weighs down on my heart. They are absolute wildcards, but Im in the zone and like Jose Im gonna fight until I die to get what I want. Well, today at 8:45 I had my oral exam for perspectives and I absolutely crushed it. Laid it all out on the field and the teach tried throwing a fastball by me but he new as soon as he let it go that the game was dunzo. Dominating the opener of a long week is an amazing feeling and you know that you can handle 7 different kinds of smoke. I owe it all to the song pumped up kicks by foster the people. I don't know what it is about the song but it gets me in the zone and I will happily let you try it out. The song just builds and builds and has a trance like vibe with an extremely catchy chorus. Right now Im playin for the team I love and leaving nothin on the table playin for that final contract. Good Luck on the home stretch folks.
P.S. I haven't posted in a while so I'm gonna throw a bunch of good songs your way. Obviously Tayyib Ali came out with Keystone State of Mind and its fire. Grab it HEREI wont stop, Supermodel, High Definition, and California Love are my favorites.
If u were raging at Modstock you noticed that some BC alums, Dean and Ravo, were makin it big in the game out there. Great Stuff. You can grab their album (Show them some love) HERE my favorite song is Finally
Lastly my boys Kinetics and One Love just released a song that is pretty hot: Happy Hour Definately be on the lookout for their song they have really been workin hard. It is going to be amazing. Its going to drop in about a week and its called will you be remembered. They tweeted at me and personally guaranteed that it would be Fuego and from the snippet I heard its gonna be beyond that.
It was the tale of two storied franchises. One with 17 World Championships, one with 16. Both known around the globe as the two greatest rivals, the two most accomplished teams to ever play in the National Basketball Association. Both with histories littered with great moments and some of the best players to ever play the game. Cousy and West, Russell and Chamberlain, Bird and Magic; they transcended the game. There's not much of a discussion as to who the top two franchises of all-time are in the NBA, but in the last 24 hours it became VERY apparent who was #1 and who was #2. If you were watching the Celtics game last night, you just knew you were witnessing something special. This was history in the making. The Cs, battered and beaten, with their backs against the wall, down 2-0 to the anti-Christ Miami Heat, did what any Boston Celtics team would have done. They battled. They were tenacious, they were passionate, they were tough, but most importantly, they played with heart. Rondo wasn't just coming back onto the court with one arm for himself. He was coming back onto the court for likes of Robert Parish and Kevin McHale, he was coming back onto the court for the "Red Auerbach" name that stretches across the parquet floor, he was coming back onto the court for the 17 championship banners that hang in the rafters above. He came back out because he knows what those 17 banners mean and he knows just what it would mean to put number 18 up there. If you were watching the Lakers game today, you also knew you were watching something special. Once again, you were witnessing history. The Lakers, down 3-0, had a chance to attempt to become the first team ever to dig themselves out of that hole. What did they do? They folded. They packed it in. No one has ever done it before, why should they be any different? Why should they even try? They played selfishly, they fought amongst themselves and let their frustrations get the best of them as they laid on numerous, absolutely unacceptable cheapshots in the game's extended garbage time. One of the greatest coaches in history, Phil Jackson, will have to walk away from the game knowing his team quit on him. Think the Celtics ever quit on Red Auerbach? Kobe Bryant, one of the great players of all time, made it very clear that he is certainly not even on the same planet as Michael Jordan. And Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum made a disgrace of the Laker name. You'd NEVER see a Celtic do that. Never. They have too much pride. They know they'd be letting down those who came before them. Kevin Garnett cries, he cries like a little baby cries, when he talks about Bill Russell. He has that much respect for the man. You think Andrew Bynum cares what Magic Johnson thinks about him? Not a chance. He's out to get what's his and that's it. That's the difference between the Celtics and the Lakers. The Lakers are a bunch of individuals and the Celtics are a team. The Celtics are a family. The number of championships have become irrelevent. The Celtics are the greatest franchise in the history of basketball and the Lakers are a very distant second.
