shit man sorry to hear about your mom
my cousin's mom, my aunt, had cancer and got treated at sloan-kettering. hence the play, a decade later.
My cousin is an actor and writer and she is destroying it right now. I am really proud of her and excited for her! And feel like bragging a little to all y'all quasi-strangers! She's about to be in another play on Broadway, with Nathan Lane and some other famous people. And the most influential and famous theater critic in New York (and therefore probably the country) gave her play that just opened a raaaaaave. Jesus.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/08/theater/review-a-funny-thing-happened-on-the-way-to-the-gynecologic-oncology-unit-blends-rage-with-gallows-humor.html?_r=0QuoteThere’s a raw spot — one of the tenderest places on the continent of human emotions — that exists between laughter and pain. Make that between laughter and everything that feeds pain: rage, hatred, desperation, hopelessness, fear, even physical disease.
Such is the location of Halley Feiffer’s “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center of New York City,” a play that is as deeply felt as its name is long. To be literal, its setting is a sickeningly pink double room in the hospital of its title.
But as anyone who’s spent much time in similar rooms knows, antechambers to death are incubators for those guffaws that it’s hard to distinguish from sobs, places where you find yourself fighting a close battle with the urge to giggle madly. To give in to such an impulse, in such a context, would be very, very inappropriate.
Or would it? “Funny Thing,” which opened on Tuesday night at the Lucille Lortel Theater, makes a convincing case that hard laughter is an absolutely appropriate response, if not a socially sanctioned one, to those moments when life seems like too bad a joke not to respond otherwise.

^cool website. i enjoyed reading this one

But better news for the Cavs is that the Warriors haven’t really kept this phenomenon going in the playoffs.
has there ever been a playoffs with this many blowouts by the team that ended up losing the series?

Unbelievable!!!<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHBWlp-HYFI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHBWlp-HYFI</a>
damn, lean as fuck
Sure the team they built during these two years doesn't seem like the best built team to win titles. It's still a damn good team, and no I don't think ANY team plus Lebron makes it out the east. But Lebron has not always had this much influence and he spent almost a decade as young Lebron on the Cavs when he obviously had far less influence over decisions and they were HORRIBLE at putting together a good team. The 2007 team he led to the finals was probably the worst supporting cast ever to make it to the finals.
So, the point is that maybe Lebron the GM isn't the best GM in the league. But he sure seems as good or better than the management the Cavs actually have. In Miami he certainly had a role in the team building but the competent management of Pat Riley who listened to him to some degree was clearly better at putting a team together and they won titles. You can't be mad at Lebron for having too much influence putting together a team that isn't quite good enough unless you compare the alternative... From what we know the alternative (Cavs management) is pretty terrible. A lot of your posts are filled with assumptions that sorry to say I think come from a weird place of anger for Lebron for being disobedient... Do you know what plans were or exactly what as said? For all we know Dan Gilbert planned to trade Kyrie Irving and Andrew Wiggins for Carmelo Anthony to make the unstoppable punch of Lebron and Melo... Then Lebron came and said "uhhhh hold on DG... Let's think of an alternative". If that's the case then Lebron deserves credit rather than scorn. Of course we don't know what the case is so why don't we stick to giving management credit or blame for the decisions that are ultimately there's and judge Lebron by what he does with the team they put around him?
In fact, if what some people say about Lebron is true, i'd like to see him eventually get MVP, a title, coach of the year, and GM of the year all in one season... beast.
i regret that i have but one upvote to give for t0ddday's posts in this thread.
