Knicks/Celtics Wrap-Up
Just a painful series to watch. If you're a Knicks fan, that is. Games 1 and 2 were competitive but ultimately came down to a lack of experience in crunch time minutes. Which is something the Celtics have in droves. And they also make open shots. And defend better. And play basketball better in general.
But what's done is done. Time to move on. Time to figure out how exactly the Knicks are going to compete next year with little to no cap room. Lets see, both Carmelo and Amare are locked in. They also have a $13 million option on Chauncey Billups which may or may not be picked up. Obviously if Billups stays healthy for the entire year, it's worth the investment. However, we all watched him in suits on the bench far too much. So exercising the $4 million buyout may be in the best interest of the team. That way they can mold Toney Douglas further into a distributor at the point and spend money on a big, bruising center. Unless I am mistaken, Marc Gasol's contract is up after the season. Adding him to the starting rotation could very well make the Knicks a contender for the 2011-2012 season. However, the Grizzlies are playing very well right now and are on the verge of knocking the Spurs out of the playoffs. They would be stupid not to extend his deal as soon as possible.
We all knew that this wasn't the Knicks year. This was merely step one in a long process to bring the Knicks back to respectability. Yes, it would have been nice for them to win one game during this series. But the wins will come. The playoff wins will come. Carmelo is too much of a superstar to sit idly by and see otherwise.
I'm looking forward to next season.
Game 2: Knicks vs. Celtics

For some strange reason I am feeling confident about tonight's game. A game that will commence in about (checks wrist. No watch), 5 minutes. I've been told that the Knicks had their chance to take control of this series in Game 1. That the Garnett alley-oop, Carmelo foul, Allen three, and Melo miss cost them their opportunity to move on. But the last time I checked, this is a best of seven series. Not best of 1! And tonight, the Knicks are going to get the best of the Celtics! HUZZAH!!!!!

I have a dream.
Well, I have an aspiration. An aspiration to be successful. And to be my own boss.
Since the day I began my first job as a busboy in a small, Greek restaurant, I realized those two things. And since then, I haven't been able to narrow down the qualifications for my future career.
And now, being only 14 months out of college, I'm taking my first steps to fulfill this aspiration, as it were.
But don't you worry, I'm not going at it alone. By my side (or I, by their side) are two of my friends. One with an insatiable entrepreneurial spirit, and the other blessed with a remarkable ability to design and create.
Who am I? I am simply a man going along for the ride. I'd like to think I have some skill comparable to my counterparts that is easily liquidated in revenue. That could certainly be the case if unrelenting hard-work and diligence puts cash in my clip. I think it does. And apparently, so do my business partners, who have trusted in me enough to go "thirdsies" in this endeavor.
So what will we be offering exactly? For a more technical, longwinded answer, you'll have to ask Rob, the creator. He went to school for what we offer. He spends nearly every waking hour learning about what we offer. "What we offer" drives him. It's something, he has told me, that he could do for the rest of his life.
Ask me about "what we offer" and I'll answer "web design". But truthfully, it's so much more than that. We will be giving businesses an identity. As I sit here, tapping away madly on my iPad, I'm slowly realizing that how you're perceived can be affected greatly by your presence (or lack thereof) on the Internet. And that's especially true for small businesses. Business's can't just rely on how their physical storefront looks. They need a virtual storefront. And that's where we come in.
(Well, that's where Rob comes in)
I went to high school with Rob. Honestly, even then, I knew he'd go far. Singular talents often do. I just didn't think I'd be lucky enough to come along for the ride.
Anyway, for future reference, this will be the one and only time I market my company on this site. This site is for my pointless ramblings and my pointless ramblings only. But excuse me this one time. Getting the word out is my job. And I'd be remiss if I did not utilize a medium in which dozens, literally dozens of people see my writings.
