boo ... the pistons lost the second game in the finals to the lakers in overtime. but man, we had 10 secs. left on the clock in the 4th quarter and were up by 3 damn points! if we had just fouled somebody they would have taken 2 free throws and even if they got both we could'a milked the clock until we won ... but f-ing nooooooooooooooo ... we let kobe bryant shoot a 3 pointer ... he tied it up, sent it to overtime and then steamrolled us to an 8 pt. loss ...
boo ...
ah well ... the next few games will be at home in detroit ... we'll see what happens.

ack ... tonight was ULS' 125th graduation in its entire history. it was my 5th at the school. the teachers must dress up in caps & gowns and we wear the school colors of the last university we got a degree from (ie. i don't wear OU colors, i wear U of M colors)
erik (the librarian and my best friend at work) wears different garb because he has his PhD. don't we look quite the dorks?
blah ... commencement this year was such a bore ... and it was hot as all hell! it was about 90 degrees in the shade and we weren't very shaded. shirts and ties underneath polyester caps and gowns conspire to make a very uncomfortable evening.
it was so hot a kid passed out while he was playing the trumpet during one of the musical interludes!
but whatever, it's over ... over over over ... tomorrow i have 2 stupid meetings and then we get on a plane ... NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN ... well that's not true but ... we gonna party like it's 1999.

... Detroit also has had an impact on Los Angeles culture — though few Angelenos would admit it. From transportation to music to sports, there’s plenty of Motown flavor in the City of Angels.
booya! trendy hipster assholes are born in Detroit ... they just go to LA to die.

Several hundred fans turned up before the doors even opened to see the Sisters, who played second on a bill of four acts, but were clearly the main draw of the night.
blah ... there were like 15 people at the detroit show ...

la la lee lee ... we just completed our last homeroom of the year ... then we have to sit thru a boring ass awards ceremony ... then we rehearse for commencement tonight ... then we eat ... then we're done!

it's a big mind-boggling to consider that just over 8 months ago i never even knew erik (or the artist formerly known as, but still is, the coolest guy in the world) existed. i thought i was happy ... i thought i was complete ... but it wasn't until i met him that my life really started. i think back on our first date and how magical it was. we were both so nervous at first but we soon warmed up and got along as if we had known each other our whole lives ... maybe we did and we just didn't know it at the time ... who knows?
as i sit and type this in the house we share together, just 8 months later, i find myself profoundly lucky to have him in my life. i cannot imagine my life without him ... it can't be done.
here's to 8 TRILLION more months together :)

"Pink is the new Blog: Must Star Hazer -- Why This: Trent Vanegas may run the uproarious gossip roundup from his home outside Detroit, but he doesn't need proximity to make riotous observations about celebs -- often typed directly onto scary paparazzi photos." -- Entertainment Weekly
"Anyone looking for a case study in the convergence of homespun blog culture and market-driven mainstream media need look no further than pinkisthenewblog.com and its creator, Trent Vanegas ... It's Not Just a Blog, It's a Brand" -- The New York Times
"Finest use of Photoshop: Nothing escapes the keen eyes of Pink is the New Blog, which concerns itself with all types of celebrity lambasting, sartorial style included. Arrows point to flashes of errant celebrity panty; the blog's trademark pink stencil lettering announces "CHER COMES TO TOWN" over photos of a raven-haired Lindsay Lohan." -- The Village Voice
"[Pink is the new Blog] offers a hysterical, no-frills treasure trove of photos (enhanced like a football commentator, with arrows and play-by-play markings), gossip and a sweet bank of links directed to stories all over the Web. [The posts are] more like delicious dispatches each day. Vanegas is a concise writer but offers plenty of description to keep things interesting." -- The St. Petersburg Times
"The site has just blown up and a Pink mushroom cloud is expected to replace the smog above Hollywood any day now ... Now everyone who's anyone knows that pink is the new blog." -- URB magazine
"Brilliantly Bitchy Blogging -- [T]his celeb-obsessed photo blog combines the wit of Oscar Wilde with the wisdom of US Weekly." -- Blender magazine
"Hilarious, photo-driven Web site ... covers the trashy trials of Britney & Kevin, Tara Reid, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan et. al with acidic glee." -- The New York Post
"If you don't like having a chuckle at celebrity misfortunes or enjoy a good gossip about Britney's latest blunder, then you might want to refrain from visiting this site. This is our sort of gossip - the piss-taking, ass-shaking stuff that'll keep you coming back for more. A mix of scandal and send-up, hearsay and gossip, rumour and fact." -- NZgirl
