Dedicated to my dearest Alana. A long overdue post

So, at the beginning of the year I did a post about my resolutions for the year. I must say, I’m doing a little better on the seeing 3D people bit, but haven’t really gotten a good jump start on it because in 2010 I have already made trips to:

1) Israel (January for a week)

2) Taiwan (end of Jan – beginning of Feb –2 weeks)

3) Dallas (this past weekend)

—soo, lets just say we’ve had 6 weekends so far, I’ve been gone for um, 4, of them.

So, the whole “more 3d friends, less 2d friends” comes from a conversation between my good friends Mariko and Alana during winter break freshman season of basketball in college. Because basketball season is in the winter, those of us on the team would come back to an empty campus (besides the guys team and the swimmers) and have two-a-day practices. This meant our daily regimen consisted of wake-up, bball practice, shower, eat, watch a movie/take a nap, get up, bball practice, shower, eat, watch more movies/tv shows, go to bed. Repeat.

One day during winter break, it was almost time for practice, Mariko walked into Alana’s room found her refusing to leave her desk because she was watching episode after episode of Sex and the City and said to her “Um, it’s time to go see your 3d friends” and voila! A new phrase was coined.

Sadly, I haven’t seen my dear friend Alana, since we graduated in 2007. What’s super cool about our friendship is

1) We have the same birthday Feb. 8th (except for shes 1985, and I’m 1986)

2) We both play point guard.

When I went to visit the East Coast last year in October, she was on a business trip so I didn’t get to see her. I was hoping to see her this weekend in Dallas at the Allstar Game since she was working it, but sadly, this is the only way I got to see her, through my binoculars (no, the picture wasn’t taken from binoculars, but from a camera…but I did rent some binocs..for the purpose for finding Alana. )

Can you find her?? Look at where it says Spalding :-) BOOYA, best seat in the house.

Oh Alana, how I miss thee. We shall meet again soon. BIG VIRTUAL HUG. Time for you to move to the West Coast and bring Reagan!

Don’t worry, I told her that I was stalking her from our nosebleed cheap seats :-) which we got at one heck of a good price.
