    my NBA post-season breakdown

    The Heat have to be the worst champion I've seen since I've watched the NBA. It's nothing against Flash Wade, I've been calling him baby Jordan since I saw him get Marquette to the Final 4 a few years ago. He just has to stay healthy. But Shaq is a shell of his former dominant self. All these other scrubs on team like Walker, Payton, White Chocalate, they're rubbish. The Heat are boring and they remind me of 90's basketball when it was predictable, physical, slow-paced. The league has come so far and teams like the Mavericks and the Suns have brought back fun and more positive energy the game has been missing.

    So here are some of my predictions:


    Suns are the favorite to win the championship next year. The experience, depth, and the return of Amare Stoudamire is set this team up for a run to the Finals. They played their style in the playoffs with an injured team and got within 2 games of the Finals. If Raja Bell was healthy the Suns would've forced a game 7 against the Mavs.

    Lebron James will win a Championship soon! That guy is in another class. He is one of those guys that's doing stuff never been one before and once he gets that experience he will do something similar to what Flash Wade did.

    Speaking of guys who've never done something ever done before, Steve Nash. He will not win an MVP trophy this year. But he will continue to do what makes him one of the top 5 PG I've seen play; his entire game is predicated on the success of his teammates. He senses what his team needs and gives whatever he's got.

    Barring any trades and any big shake ups here are the teams to watch.

    The Suns obviously - the most entertaining team in the world
    The Mavs - theyre will be just as good as they were this year, they can only go as far as Irk can carry them. Irk needs to man up and take the big shots rather than defer to Jason Terry or anyone else. Sad this is their coach is the most mentally tough on on their team.
    The Bulls - they play on the perimeter with a relentless style similar to the Suns. I love Heinrick and Nocioni.
    The Spurs - they historically do not defend their titles well so they were going to lose based on that I thought. They'll be back strong again as soona s they find someone to replace their center Mohammed.
    The Cavs - they got the King James factors
    Pistons - as long as they have Chauncey Billups they got one of the most mentally tough players in the league.
    The Wiz - Gilbert Arenas is sick and they have a fun up-tempo style, just no defense

    The ROY of the year is going to be Adam Morrison or Brandon Roy.

    A fun little game

    This is for all you desi girls and guys out there. I think this is prety accurate but take from it what you want. I was talking to my mom, she was telling me to find a girl to get married. That's an entirely separate issue that I'll talk about someday just for the sake of those who are trying to find someone. Its not as easy as you think after you look at this:

    300,000,000 people living in US (We'll exclude other countries right now)

    Rounding up and using optimism 2% of the population is of Indian Heritage – 6 million (I looked it up)

    Of that 50% is male – 3 million

    Eliminate all people not in your age range, say 1 in every 6 – 500,000

    Of that Say that You are attracted to only 2 out of 5 – 200,000

    Say that 1 in every 3 is in a relationship already – 66,000

    Say only 2 in 5 is attracted to you – 26,400

    That’s nationwide… say 1 in 6 either lives near u or is willing to move – 4400

    Now you can take it further and eliminate if you live in a remote area, or if you include religious/background conflicts.

    So what is the point in the end?? Its pretty tough, dont be so picky... easier said than done for me, if I was really looking.

    Can I go back to Europe??

    I had very limited responsibilities, carefree and being myself all the time. I knew my life was hella stressful, but it never ceases. I think I'm stretched way too thin with too many projects and too many things looming always.

    It's time to simplify...

    silly girls

    Of all the girls I've talked to in my life that have grown up here in the US, about 1 out of every 2 say that there favorite movie is Pretty Woman. The other 50% say Dirty Dancing. If I'm wrong prove me so. Those are pretty good movies but seriously?? I don't getit

    C R U S H

    I’m writing in general not about a particular person. Back in the day when the Profe$$ionalz were still making music, I wrote these lyrics in a song; “things fall apart while they wither and melt/ the way you feel now won’t be the way you felt”

    Having a crush on someone is dramatic. You’re overcome with feelings for someone in such a short period of time. The mystery intrigues us. We think how special the moment is. The little things become giant ones. We think only ideally, romantically perhaps. Could it be love already??

    I’m talking about a real crush. These ones tend to go down in flames just as fast as they hit us. I think they help us understand who we are and what makes us go, WOW, . We have to take something away from it otherwise they hurt. Don’t have too many of these because later on you won’t know what the real thing is…

    Euro Trip

    That was the craziest trip ever!! 3 weeks of partying, being a tourist, travelling, eating, working on our CMS project (yeah right). London was my favorite place but I keep talking mostly about Paris and how it was such a great time. Zurich was beautiful except for my allergy attack. Germany was so fun to party in.

    My favorite part about the trip were things you wouldn't necessarily consider. The bonding that I did with Edgar, Ali, and Janet. Getting away from everything and everyone and not stressing. Each day we were care free and only worried about having a good time and making the most of our trip. After 3 weeks of being with the CMS group, everyone was acting as they truly would. You can't hide your true persona over 24/7 for 3 weeks. By end of the trip everybody wanted to hang out with us because we came drama free and we had no hidden agendas. Unfortunately they brought their baggage and made the last nite not so much fun. But overall I have a million stories and a million pictures. I don’t want to say everything we did was interesting but we had an incredible time just hanging out.

    Even after a week its hard to adjust to this LA lifestyle that I live. I miss Europe my state of mind when I was there. Its hard to maintain it here but I'm trying...

    May 24th, on the bus to Switzerland

    Trip is going well. I’ve been functioning on very little sleep and we’ve been extremely active for the past week and a half. Aside from the constant partying and drinking, we’ve been good at going to see the city. We visited the British Museum and got to see how they robbed the world’s countries of their most valuable collections of artifacts etc… We visited St. Bartholue’s Cathedral in Frankfurt, which was built in the 1600’s. I’m always amazed at these huge cathedrals and temples that I’ve been to. To me you see the dedication and devotion to God that produces such magnificent gifts for the world to enjoy.

    Coming on this trip was the best thing for me right now. I left LA with a mess for a mind. I’ve been able to not think about a lot of things and a lot of people. I’ve been able to make decisions on things that I was so stressed about. I needed to get perspective here and I’ve done that so far. I went online last night and I got to talk to Daisy and Patrick, then I started thinking of all the things that I left behind and started getting a little stressed out again. I had some weird dreams where I started to resolve some of these things and they all turned out badly.

    May 14th On the Plane

    This trip is kind of a new experience for me. I’m not traveling with any brown people, anybody I’m close with, and it’s a little unnerving. I’m still apprehensive about leaving Sunsetronics and Beverly Hills Automotive to Patrick. It’s not that he’s not competent and smart, we just do things differently that’s all. Plus, a lot of the little things that I know are critical for day to day operations are in my head not in Patrick’s.


    Leaving that aside. We got screwed pretty badly on the conversion rate. Ths USD ain’t what it used to be. I still have that feeling that I’ve forgot something or that I’ve lost something. I almost left my freaking ticket thing with all my shit in it on the counter when I was getting my boarding pass. How do I do this shit continuously?? Luckily the counter lady was on top of it for me.
