Creed Thoughts

So one day, I was neglecting the mountain of problem sets, unread books, and unfinished essays that were cluttering my desk and due the next day, I continued to facebook chat with an assortment of people I didn't know all that well, while simultaneously IMing people on Skype who I knew slightly better. Suddenly, it dawned on me that I was severely Wasting My Time.

I thought to myself, what if I just channeled all of that creative energy into a blog? Then I stopped myself, because I realized that only self-obsessed, slightly narcissistic people write blogs. But then, I thought back to one of my favorite TV shows, the Office, and remembered this part:

Hahaha, Creed is one strange, clueless dude. He's also one of my top three favorite characters on the show, the other two being Michael Scott and Kelly (Dartmouth represent!)

But my point is, Creed is neither narcissistic nor self-obsessed, but he still has a blog. So I wanted one too. So okay, I justified my reason for writing a blog using a rarely seen fictional character from a TV show, but it's all good. In fact, Creed being one of my favorite characters on that show is analogous to someone liking/using Pichu in Super Smash Bros Melee...

Which brings me to my first point, I like video games. (How'd you like that transition?) I kid. I love video games, in fact, I can almost attribute my horrendous GPA from last term to an obscene obsession with Bloons Tower Defense 4 (avoid that game at all costs) which I played on Kongregate.com (avoid that even more). It also kind of explains the title of this blog, which is from one of the dopest songs of all time...

Which brings me to my next Interest: Music. I gotta admit though, I have awful taste. I knew this when I realized that the Pina Colada Song was in my top 10 most played songs in my iTunes library. That song should not be in anyone's music library to begin with, let alone their top 10. Speaking of music, does anyone remember when LeBron was singing the words to a song that some rappers made about HIM as he was playing the Lakers in Cleveland when they were up by 2 late in the 4th quarter? (That was a run on sentence, but this is a blog, so it doesn't matter).

So, that brings me to the NBA, which I guess you could classify as my Passion. I am a HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE Celtics fan. As I write this, I'm draped in nothing but Celtics gear, with a poster of the Big 3 watchfully gazing down upon me. I feel like I have ruined the sanctity of the Celtics by mentioning LeBron before the Celtics, but whatevs...

My obsession with the Celtics is borderline unhealthy. Actually, it is unhealthy. My homepage is celticsblog.com. I am probably the only frequenter of I <3 Celtics Blog, which is an awesome blog, but hasn't been updated in 6 months (literally), but I still check it out everyday in the hopes that it might be updated, but it never is. I can quote random stats from random players (Thabo Sefolosha averaged 4.7 boards a game this year). I think I could name the medical staffs of most NBA teams, but not really. Yeah, I have a single digit Facebook friend count.

Well, so I guess you can kind of get a sense of what this blog's all about. It's mostly just the random musings of me and my buddy (I'm writing this with someone who is equally obsessed with video games and the Celtics btdubs). We'll just write about whatever we feel like writing about, which is mostly video games, the NBA/Celtics, music, food, and who knows, we might even write about relevant topics that have some intellectual worth...but we probably won't ;).

Alright, so wow, that ended up being a lot longer than I imagined it would be. If you got this far, you probably have a lot of free time on your hands haha...
