Grimaldi's = Pizza sent from Heaven
I was abducted one evening by a bunch of my friends this summer and taken to this pizza place in Dumbo - BK. They were raving about how this is supposedly the best pizza in all of Brooklyn - and even all of NYC. Honestly, pizza all pretty much taste the same to me no matter where I go - its just something I feel like can't be differentiated all that much.
Well anyways - got to Grimaldi's and there was a line outside of the restaurant!! Absurd! People were actually waiting in a line for pizza - so I figured "okay, maybe they were right." But I didn't completely understand how good Grimaldi's pizza was until I tasted it for myself.....
Wow. Unbelievable pizza. I wish they delivered - to Providence. I know Antonio's and NIce Slice on Thayer Street are supposed to be the best - but Grimaldi's would most definitely put them out of business.

Something you won't regret.
This summer was probably the best summer of my life. And oddly enough - at the beginning I was really not sure about how it would turn out. A lot of things in my life were moving very fast and changing - which for me was a little scary.
But looking back I can wholeheartedly say that I lived the last few months to the fullest. With no regrets. I took risks this summer - went places, did things, met people - many of which I knew nothing about. And everything I did I enjoyed or learned something new - sometimes about myself.
I think we all need to learn to do something that we won't regret. And I've learned that in order for that to happen - you have to have perspective. You have to be able to look outside of yourself or you'll miss it. You'll me the opportunity to do something you won't regret. I also learned the importance of letting go of expectations because chances are that - things won't happen the way you expect them to. People are human - if you put your expectations in someone - you risk disappointing yourself and also risk the potential of that relationship because you had set limits.
Living in the moment. It's a hard thing to do. But if you can learn to do it - you'll live a much more fulfilled life. At least that's what I think!

World Basketball Festival: NYC [8.12-8.15]
Couldn't have found a better way to end my summer in the city than with the WBF. Thursday night was the kick-off with a scrimmage by the team USA, entertainment, and a special musical guest at Radio City Music Hall...I got a heads up a few weeks before that this "special guest" was none other that Mr. Brooklyn himself...JAY-Z!
I so badly wanted to go...some of the best basketball players in the world and one of my favorite artist! BUT they weren't selling tickets..so over the past few weeks I was desperately trying to find a way to get tickets...and the way things went for me this summer -- it happened! I got them!
Thanks to @NIKE_NFR and twitter I WON the tickets!! Crazy right, I know... still can't believe it. She asked the question "What was Rajon Rondo's first love?" and being a celtics fan..i knew it was football! I mean look at how long his arms are!!?! So I made it to the opening ceremonies and it was amazing...
Friday and Saturday consisted of festivities and games at the Rucker Park (i'm sure you all remember my Rucker Park story)... well this time I didn't go by myself (your welcome dad). But it was so cool..the put down a dope court and had all types of vendors, giveaways, appearance and what not.
Being a basketball junkie - this was definitely one of the highlights of my summer.

#13 Become More Patient
The more patient you are, the more accepting you will be of what is, rather than insisting that life be exactly as you would like it to be.
#12 Let Others Be "Right" Most of the Time
Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest desires of the human heart.
#11 Imagine that Everyone Is Enlightened Except You
The people you meet are all here to teach you something.
