Well, they've done it again. I've been left here by The Bagel and Junior, in the unenviable position of having to follow up on thier posts. Seriously? this blog has been up for like 3 days and Im already screwed.
Its like that feeling you get after a double feature of Super Troopers and Shindlers List. One minute, everything is hilarious, I'm reading about the 10 best pisses in your life and having fond memories of each of those 10 instances and more...Then Junior sneaks up on you like fuckin Bogs from the Shawshank Redemption and suddenly Im very, very down....if you know what I mean. I dunno whether to laugh my ass off or take out all the money in my 401K and hang myself...How can I follow that up?
lets give it a go...
You may have noticed the unique name of our nice little piece of the interweb here. LensDownSt is really just one big tribute to two things: Boston and Len Bias. Boston, for obvious reasons but Why Len Bias? well we wanted to be original and pay homage to an athlete that never reached his full potential and somehow tie everything back to Boston, the greatest city in the world.
Why not Reggie Lewis, or Travis Roy ( too soon? ) or Tony C or Blaine Lacher or any of the number of athletes that fit here? Well, as Im sure you will see in the posts ahead, Len Bias was an individual that shares two big things in common with everyone you'll read on this site. He was an athlete and he apparently loved to party. But most importantly, Len Bias was a fucking champion. He may not have won any NBA titles and he certainly did not win any fashion contests (is that suit 300 threadcount Len? Egyptian Cotton? Just wondering) No, Len Bias got to go out better than any of us ever will.
Len was the first round pick (second overall) in 1986 of the greatest basketball team ever, the Boston Celtics. Fuckin Awesome. He was so fired about this that he then proceeded to party like it was 1989 and do so much coke he didnt wake up the next day.Unbearable Tragedy? Perhaps. Great way to go out on top? Abso fuckin lutely.
The guy knew how to kick ass on the court and he partied like a rockstar...and for that he gets this half assed blog..
So when you check back here in the future for funny anecdotes, stories about drinking too much, or just general Bull Shit to get us through the day at work, just remember...Len Was Always Down...

There's no way you have a 401(k)
Oh yeah, I was drunk when I wrote the depressing post.
