5/30/08 : Going to the NBA Finals...Wow
This is like a dream. All I can think of is how far we've come from last season. Last year I drove down from Orono to about 8 games with my friends from school, we watched one win and seven losses...Now? The tickets were a little more expensive this year, but we still made it out to two games, Golden State early in the year and Game 2 of the first round vs. Atlanta. Both...blow out wins. It's been an amazing transition and makes it worth grinding out the last 5-6 years of mediocracy.
As for cards? Haven't played much over the last two days. I've had a lot of things to take care of, some overlaying school work that I've needed to finish up and basic errands to run. I'll get serious after this weekend. However, I have to head down to Portland for Saturday and Sunday to watch my brothers band compete in Battle of the Bands (Saturday) and play in their biggest gig thus far at the Old Port (Sunday) playing with As Fast As and The Pete Kilpatrick band (?). Anyways, it should be fun...I'll catch up later. -maxv2

5/29/08 : Lakers in 5?
It'd be interesting to see, something tells me the Spurs aren't interested in giving up so early though. While I think the Lakers will inevitably take the series, I see the Spurs stealing this game 5.
Anyways, cards was frustrating...but not AS frustrating as they've been. I ended up +155 and really unmotivated to extend that at all. Sort of a day off if you will; I have some stuff to take care of. I have to make in my buy-in for the WSOP Main Event tomorrow and book tickets for everyone coming with me. About 8-10 of my friends will be coming out with me and cramming into my hotel room, it should be pretty awesome. Oh and the Pirates are winning 7-1, that's good...they've been losing with a little more regularity lately. Jason Bay's been consistently good though, I just wish he had more RBI opportunities. Freddy Sanchez isn't having a very good year thus far, hopefully he can turn it around.

5/28/08 : Thank You Celtics
Ray Allen was amazing, finally. That was a huge performance by him KG and Perk. It was also scary to see how shut down Detroit could be if they actually tried throughout the game. Their defense in the fourth was amazing. Oh and me and my friends also decided that we will now be calling "Rip" Hamilton, "Dick" Hamilton for the rest of the series.

5/28/08 : HEADACHHHEEE!!!
I think my head exploded, reincarnated itself and then exploded about 4 seperate times over the last 2 days. I've made a little bit of money throughout, about $350...but nowhere near the hassle. The only positive in it all is the fact that I've racked up a crap load of fpp's. Anyways, I need to sleep or I might die.

5/25/08 : AC Trip
Just got back from Atlantic City, played a little 1/2nl at Tropicana. We really didn't go down there to play cards though so we gambled the rest of the day and broke even doing it...which in my book is a win. At the roulette table we got ID'd and the guy said "Wierd, both ID's say McLovin" and this girl goes "really?"...lol, her boyfriend gave her a death stare and she apologized.
And I'm obviously happy with how the Celtics are playing. Game 3 was a huge win. I haven't been watching ESPN lately because I've been in AC, so I don't know what the analysts are saying. But this opens up a huge opportunity to put the series out of reach in game four and possibly lead to a short series and some rest for the finals. That'd be nice. And I have to say that game 7 vs Cleveland was one of the most impressive performances I've ever seen out of Paul Pierce. Probably THE most impressive. Lebron was unstoppable, but luckily so was Paul and our supporting cast made it a little easier to come away with the win.

5/11 : Hellllloo
So I got this cool dashboard widget that automatically signs me in and lets me blog from my dashboard instead of loading up blogger.com to do so. So, that means maybe I'll blog more often, because of sheer convienance. I also have this word a day thing that never updates, so I'm stuck on Subjusc meaning dark or dull in color...atleast I have that word down, right?
