Please win this so that I can discreetly shove it up every Boston fan I know. It would give me so much pleasure to finally tell them that they know nothing of basketball and that their extremely classless, unsportsmanlike chants are petty and disgusting.
Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, and Ron Artest.
KILL IT TONIGHT!
"You play for everything. There's no other chance. It's a game that you want to give everything you have, everything you have left in your body after a long run. It's a game that you have to win, and it takes you to the championship."

so! it's happened. i've really graduated from the big MIT. yay?
there are a lot of things i'm going to miss for sure, but the reality is that i don't think its really hit me that i'm never going back there as a student ever again. it will, i know.
well for now, i'm onto the jobhunt... i've been busy studying finance since i've gotten back to NY. which, considering how i vowed never to go into finance is definitely ironic, but sigh. gotta do what you gotta do. haha but from all the readings i've done, i can't understand why anyone would possibly consider going into ibanking. sure you make money, but sleeping 2 hours a day? working on weekends? this sounds miserable.
i guess the only thing keeping me sane so far from studying is the nba finals!!! lakers! :) and i just wanted to put a note in here, to all those jerks calling me a bandwagon jumper. i've been a fan of the lakers since the 7th grade. i became a fan because i happened to be out in CA that time for the summer and my close friend would tell me all about them all the time. i didn't feel really strongly about any team for a while (the knicks were ok, but only because allen houston happened to be on it) so i figured why not cheer on the lakers? since then, it just stuck. so, no i'm not a damn bandwagon fan. i've been a fan for the last almost 10 years. which is more than what i can say for all those fools who came to boston for college and suddenly become die hard celtics/red sox fans when you clearly don't know anything about either sport to begin with. shut up and get over it. just because its clear the celtics are going to lose doesn't give you the right to be a bitter jerk and insult and question who i am and why i support who i do.
whew ok. that got serious. haha, and fyi, that's not directed to one specific person. just towards the many who have called me a bandwagon jumper. honestly, it gets old, pick a new insult.
haha! so i saw this at game 1 and i thought it was the funniest thing ever. hahaha
Chris Rock tries to get Kobe's attention during a break in Game 1 but Kobe ignores the attention.
it doesn't always workout the way you think it should, but it doesn't mean you should ever stop believing it could. i'm just going to have to work harder and when it happens and believe.
i know that this kind of thing is something that a lot of people don't believe in. but it gives everyone something to strive for and work for and gives us meaning. and so i'm just going to keep on believing.
i wish i didn't have to settle. i'm so headstrong that i won't be happy with anything until i get the one thing i really want. sigh...
this song on repeat:
A dream is a wish your heart makes,
When you're fast asleep,
In dreams you lose your heartaches,
Whatever you wish for, you keep.
Have faith in your dreams and someday,
Your rainbow will come smiling through,
No matter how your heart is grieving,
If you keep on believing,
The dream that you wish will come true.
I made a private entry onto my computer about everything on my mind, and it was kind of amazing to get it all out in some type of orderly fashion. Nevertheless, if this doesn't work, then it just is how it is.
I have to believe in myself and keep myself grounded on the goal. No more fantasy thinking...it's the real world out here.
so i realized i haven't updated in a while. there is actually a lot that happened, and a lot i really want to post about...but at the current moment i'm going to go mia for a little while. i need time to myself...let me find myself..and reflect.
