SHOW YA LUV, SIXERS NATION.
Series tied: 2-2.
——
Craziest game of basketball I’ve ever seen live. High-fived a random guy next to me. Completely erupted with the rest of the crowd when Iguodala hit the 3 near the end. Heard chants of “let’s go Sixers” for a long time to come.
There’s really something about getting behind a group of guys and just vouching for them.. something about putting oneself behind a greater scheme.
Go Sixers.
NBA Playoffs Throwback: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics, 1982 Eastern Conference finals
The defending champion Celtics rematch against the 76ers who they ousted the year before. Dr. Julius Erving and the Sixers finally break through big green. It is amazing how many years during the 80’s the Sixers were eliminated either by Boston or Los Angeles. The Sixers advance by winning game 7 at the old Boston Garden. During the blowout victory Boston fans chant “Beat L.A.!” Philadelphia loses in the NBA Finals in six games to MVP Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers.
The 2012 match-up begins with Game 1 Saturday at 7:30pm EST on TNT

Aerogel, also know as frozen smoke, is the world’s lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold a small piece in your hand, it’s practically impossible to either see or feel, but if you poke it, it’s like styrofoam. It supports up to 4,000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from two pounds of dynamite. It’s also the best insulator in existence.
make a nice jumper n pants out of that shit and then go to war, be invincible, never back down
Science boner.
Wish me luck…?
In his defense, Boozer saw someone in the seventh row flipping him the bird.WTF. The Philadelphia 76ers defeated a depleted Chicago Bulls team to go up 3-1 in their best-of-seven first-round NBA playoff series. The Bulls, who were without key contributors Joakim Noah (ankle; day-to-day) and Derrick Rose (torn-ACL; out for the year), are one loss away from becoming the just the fifth No. 1 seed to be eliminated by an eighth seed in the first-round of the NBA playoffs. Game five is Tuesday.

I can always tell how I feel about you lately by how clenched my fists are as I wake every morning. Some mornings, I breathe fresh air, renewed as the first fleeting instant during a time that can be justifiably called sunrise. Here my hand is not so much clenched as reluctant, unwilling to let this sensation take hold, because I know know that other mornings, I breathe smoke, rising from the rage about which I will deliberate within myself over who started what, but in the end, there is still fire. For who can blame either the spark or the timber for the blaze if both are required? You were my spark; seeing radiant light, I sped forth and got too close, not knowing that the source was actually a heat I was not equipped to deal with, and still I persisted. Like a hand trying to ease its way onto the stove, I moved toward you thinking that it can only get so much worse before it gets better, that pain was requisite to obtaining something so quick and elusive as a spark of light.
These mornings I awake, shrouded in the smog of my own pain, knowing full well that I gave this blaze a home. Knowing full well that if it weren’t for you, there would still be a house, but if it weren’t for me, there wouldn’t have ever needed to be a house. These mornings I silently char in my own demons, waiting to rebuild, and reluctantly breathe the fleeting instants of sunrise.

I guess this is what my 4th semester of music theory at Penn culminates in. Starting to really grow on me.
Alban Berg- Piano Sonata No. 1, Op. 1, played by Alfred Brendel
My friend Jon, as per my request, did his own rendition of the Jurassic Park Theme (Melodica Cover).
It’s so freaking excellent. You have no idea.
Hahahaha this was the shortest most un-thought-out thing ever. I should come up with like a medley of these kinds of things or something
