Well, it's been a while since I last posted on here, but a lot of things have changed since then.
I got to be a counselor at Green Valley for the first time ever and that went extremely well. I miss everybody from there and hope everyone from my cabin will want to come back next year.
Meanwhile, the Celtics defeated the Lakers in six games, which wasn't what I was hoping for or expecting, but if any team was to do it, it was Boston. They had a magnificent season and deserve the title.
Also in sporting news, how about Fresno St. in the College World Series? They came out of nowhere and are now National Champions. No team has ever lost more games and won a championship, but now the Bulldogs own that honor. It was a fun series to watch.
And today, my summer journalism class got over with. I kind of slacked off near the end with a good grade in the class already and with being at camp for a week, but hopefully I did well enough to get an 'A' and if not that at least a 'B.'
Anyway, I have to start working on Monday from 8 to 5 every day of the week. I'm not necessarily looking forward to it, but I am anxious to start making money.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Another missed opportunity
When I was awoken by my father Saturday afternoon to learn that Big Brown had indeed finished LAST in the Belmont Stakes, I wasn't at all surprised.
I figured that the horse wouldn't win simply because every other horse that has tried recently has failed. And yet again, we saw another failure.
But sometimes, don't we all miss opportunities to do things simply because we go with the flow and everyone else is doing the same thing. We miss opportunities due to the fact of not caring or ignorance, etc.
This summer, I want to seize every opportunity that I can and make the best of it. I feel that in the past, I maybe haven't always done what I could have or put aside things that I could have accomplished.
Oh yeah, and Game 2 of Lakers/Celtics is tonight. Kobe needs to rebound and get his shooting back to par.

NBA Finals
By virtue of their Game 6 victory over the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, the resurrected Boston Celtics earned a spot in the NBA Finals opposite the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers.
For the first time since 1987, the storied rivalry will consummate in a world championship-deciding series.
Growing up, ESPN would constantly show old highlights and complete games from the 1980's battles that the Celtics and Lakers would stage.
In three meetings in the decade, Los Angeles won twice, while Boston won once. Both teams won 8 of the 10 titles won during the time period, with only Philadelphia in 1983 and Detroit in 1989 being the exceptions, and they both had to beat the Lakers to do it.
Just to think of all the great players who have took part in this rivalry, such as Chamberlain, Magic, Bird, Russell, Havlicek, West, Abdul-Jabbar, etc., and now Bryant and Co. battles KG, Pierce and Ray Allen in order to grab the NBA's most coveted prize.
I'm saying that the Lakers will bring home their 15th NBA title, bringing them one closer to Boston's all-time leading 16 championships.
Oh yeah, and it will go seven games. It's too big not to.
