A lot of growing has happened since I was the 6th person joining in.

Is that time of the year at the NBA, that refs don’t call stupid fouls, or wrongly estimate the time left at the shot clocks…oops, I think that already happened.

It’s very exciting to see the young players step up their game and be this generation Magic Johnsons, Isiah Thomas, Larry Birds and even MJ. Kobe Bryant is the only one that is closer to be compared to Michael Jordan. It’s not Lebron, he still needs to improve a lot, make smarter decisions, smooth his game. I see Lebron James more like a Dominique Wilkins. Back to Kobe, Kobe Bryant is such a great player, you can see his finesse style at both sides of the court. Sure, he has a great supporting cast, he makes them look good.

The Lakers and Kobe are great team to watch, but they are not the one team I want to see on the Finals. The team I want to see in the Finals is the New Orleans Hornets. Chris Paul (CP3) is my favorite player right now at the playoffs. His game is smart, finesse and almost perfect. He is being a PG version of Dwayne Wade at the top of his game, but less selfish.

To be honest, the East is not that exciting to watch. I predicted by mid-season that Detroit and Boston would meet at the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston is such a good team with 3 Superstars. If one of them is having a bad game, the other 2 Superstars will be there, which works well with them. Detroit Pistons, they just play well as a team.

Here is my prediction of the teams at the NBA Finals:
Wishful Thinking - New Orleans Hornets vs Boston Celtics - New Orleans in 6 games, Chris Paul MVP.
What the Media and NBA Wants - LA Lakers vs Boston Celtics - Lakers in 7, Kobe Bryant MVP.
What most likely will happen - LA Lakers vs Detroit Pistons - Lakers in 7, Kobe Bryant MVP.

I decided to give a new look to my blog, since the one I did sucked. I’m using now a theme called SpringLoaded by the449.

One day I will start on my own blog design.

Social Networks are a great part of our life, even if we want it or not.

Here is how it has affected out daily thought process, explained by scenarios.

“[insert anything common], should I twitter it?”
Some quick examples:
“I just farted and it smells” - NO
“The house is burning down, where is the baby?” - NO
“I’m taking a dump” - NO
“Batman dies” - Watching The Dark Knight on opening night and sharing the ending.
“Driving at 95, idiots should not be in the road” - NO, twittering and driving don’t go along.
Don’t drink and twitter. Is like drunk dialing, except 45 of your twitter buddies have to read your drunk update.

“Hmm, I should take a look at craigslist” - After seeing someone buy a new TV. You know he has to get rid of his old TV one way or another.

“DUGG” [with a thumbs up] - to a hot girl, or hot guy if you are a female.

“6, 7, 5, 8, 9, 1, 6, 8, 4, 10, 2″ - Coming out of the club, and looking at the girls at the line coming in while giving the “hotornot.com” rating.

“Buried as inaccurate” - After seeing a not-so-hot girl wearing a shirt that says “Sexy Hot Girl”

“Buried as inaccurate” - After your friends describe you a girl, and is not totally how they painted it.

“You just get vinegar, and it will get rid of those stains… I read it on Wikipedia” - Trying to be a smart ass on something you read on wikipedia.

“Oh yes, I’m gonna get 1 million plus views on this baby!” - After filming your friends singing and dancing to the Spice Girls, and contemplating of the YouTube possibilities.

“I wish I can find her on MySpace” - After eyeing a young looking cute girl

“OMG, these photos are going up to flickr” - Taking photos with a fancy nancy SLR Camera at the park.

“OMG, these photos are going up to Facebook” - Taking photos with a point and shoot in last nights party.

“Bla bla bla, look at me, I’m singing along, I found that rare remix song on The Hype Machine” - Showing off to your friends at a club that you are “truly indie”

Final words - Don’t underestimate the power of the web and Social Networks, they are called “Social Networks” for a reason. It is a big party that everyone is in, and you control if you want to be the center of attention, with difference of the real world, people pay attention to you. Be smart about it… or not.
