Tragic Departures, Alleged Murders, and the Most Upsetting Missed Connection


Happy end of June, my lovely Internet friends!
   For those of us who love Boston (and all the teams therein) and have a minor obsession with a certain British-Irish boy band, the torturously long month of June has finally, thankfully, come to a close.
   Things were getting pretty gnarly.
   Not sure what I’m talking about? That’s all right. I’ve got your back.
   Here’s what you missed:
  
1)   Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are leaving the Boston Celtics to continue their professional basketball careers with the Brooklyn Nets. This trade also includes a transfer of ex-Kardashian Kris Humphries from the Nets to Boston.  
   Perhaps his time with the Celtics will last longer than his 72-day marriage to Kim.
  
 2)  After nine years with the Celtics, Head Coach Doc Rivers is moving to Los Angeles to coach the Clippers. While he did play for the Clippers in his younger years – so his transition appears to have sentimental origins – Coach Rivers departing at the same time as KG and Paul Pierce is, at the very least, upsetting.
   As in throw your cell phone at the wall in order to rid yourself of the ESPN update kind of upsetting.
 
 3)  The Bruins lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in the 6th Game of the Stanley Cup Finals. More specifically, the Bruins lost the game in about 17 seconds.

 4)  Former Patriots’ tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested at his home and charged with murder of a semi-pro football player.
   At least Tim Tebow is here to pray for him.

5)   One Direction was 20 minutes away from my house singing their beautifully foreign hearts out to a sold out Comcast Center occupied almost exclusively by ten year old girls while I laid on my bed watching reruns of NCIS.
    Life is so unfair.
    I neither saw them in concert nor met them in person, meaning I didn’t get to share the numerous and slightly sexual innuendos that my roommates and I came up with over the course of our freshman year at university.
   I even painted a sign that reads “Irish You Were Na…”
   Nevermind.

Hopefully, July will be better.

XOXO,
Safe Travels!
