The NBA Champions and a Trillionaire.

 



     Just as I thought, their Game 4 loss to Knicks was so devastating that the Spurs would have a very difficult time recovering from it. It’s a good thing I am not a Spurs Fans. Lol. But I prefer them than the New York Knicks. I am actually a fan of LA Clippers/Kawhi Leonard.

     De’Aaron Fox’s Game 4 blunder was no doubt one of the most grievous mistakes in the history of NBA Finals. But it’s water under the bridge now. The Knicks are the champions now. If only Donald Trump continued attending the games…

     And Jalen Brunson was no doubt one of the best one-on-one players. Only six foot one, he’s almost unstoppable in isolation plays, though I think Kawhi could limit him, if not entirely shut him down.

     Meanwhile, Earth finally has a trillionaire—Elon Musk. I agree with many people saying that being a billionaire should be outlawed. You shouldn’t be a billionaire when millions of people live way below poverty line. A multi-millionaire is probably okay. People should be allowed the luxury of having a yacht and a movie theater inside their house. So, if a billionaire’s revolting, what do we do with a trillionaire? Millions of people in the world are dying of hunger, and yet someone has a trillion of US dollars in his pocket.

     But what are the things you can buy or do only if you’re a trillionaire? Dunno, but if I were a trillionaire (in USD or euro as a trillion Vietnamese dong won't buy much. Lol), I’d help end world hunger; help achieve peace all over the world; help stop climate change; help find cure for cancer and other terminal diseases; donate to thousands of charities; build thousands of animal rescue shelters that don’t need adoption all over the world; build a rocket ship so I could sometimes nap on the moon; buy all the NBA teams and decide which one will win the championship every year; buy a third-world country; buy all the most expensive paintings in the world so I could decorate my house with them; buy a pyramid in Egypt or the Stonehenge and put it inside my garden; commission a time machine; turn all the stories I've written into big-budget Hollywood movies; and help ban digital ordering kiosks in fast-food restaurants.

     How lucky and happy the world would be if I were a trillionaire. Lol.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...

Roger Waters, Thom Yorke, Taylor Swift, and an Audacious Instagram User

       Roger Waters (former Pink Floyd frontman) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead frontman), two of my favorite songwriters of all time, continue to feud with each other. The quarrel started a few years ago, I think, when Roger wrote and asked Thom not to perform in Israel, which Thom ignored. Roger has been protesting Israel for a long time and asking his fellow artists no to go and perform there. He called Thom “damaged and not very bright.” Lol.      I learned that a friend had recently undergone surgery for myoma, which was a common benign tumor in uterus, and wished her well. I really don’t know what causes it, but no, long-term celibacy doesn’t cause it. Lol.      I have an Instagram account which is empty and pointless and thoroughly inactive, but despite that, one account had the temerity to follow me. Lol. But a few days ago, my one and only follower deactivated their account. I don’t know if it’s a fake account, but if not, I hope...
