The Linsanity of Super Lintendo

Valentine Cupcakes by Nora, Bliss & Co. in Calgary

While most people were eating Valentine cupcakes, my very lucky sister in law was at the big Raptors and Knicks game at the Air Canada Center! I haven't seen Jeremy Lin play basketball, I don't know what he looks like, but he is all over my friends' facebook posts.

"So tonight, all the good little Asian boys and girls will put down their violins, close the piano covers, postpone Calculus club and put away their Chinese/Korean school homework. Bubble tea shops will be empty from east to west, and even Battle.net will be silent and barren. They will quiver with excitement over their bowls of rice as they turn on the TV.  And for what?  A basketball game. Yes, this is Linsanity." quote from buddy Thomas, about the you-know-who.

Linsanity Game on Valentines Day

There's already a Wikipedia article written about him, throngs of asian girls and boys are drawn to him because he is the guy who made it big on the NBA from out of nowhere (well Harvard actually), he's smart, friendly, fairly tall for an asian guy, and is a Christian. I use the term asian because he's actually an American born Taiwanese, meaning his ancestors are from Taiwan and not China (very much different).

Day in the Life: Jeremy Lin.  (Sneakers all in a row? Now that's hot).

Anyways I really should go back to studying for the CCNA, practising piano, violin, playing Nintendo or whatever good asian kids are supposed to do.
