6/15 Wednesday Weekly

MillStar of the Week: This week's MillCredit goes to the church I grew up in: Boston Chinese Evangelical Church (BCEC).  Congrats on your 50th Anniversary!  I prayed to receive Christ in the 4th grade in Wendy Chin's Sunday School class.  For me and I'm sure for many others, I'm grateful for having grown up in a theologically-solid Biblically-grounded church, but even more grateful for the youth workers who were there for me when I needed someone to talk to about God, grades, glamour, games, and girls. (....okay maybe not glamour.)

MillDud of the Week: I don't mean to be non-creative, but it is far too difficult to overlook the terrible week that LeBron James just had.  No one else comes close to this week's MillDud!  Not only did LeBron look lost during an NBA Finals his team was favored to win, but he told all of us normal people that even though we can celebrate that he lost...at least he doesn't have a sucky life like the rest of us.... Here are his exact words:

Because at the end of the day, all the people that was rooting on me to fail, at the end of the day they have to wake up tomorrow and have the same life that they had before they woke up today. They have the same personal problems they had today. I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things that I want to do with me and my family and be happy with that. They can get a few days or a few months or whatever the case may be on being happy about not only myself, but the Miami Heat not accomplishing their goal, but they have to get back to the real world at some point.

Wow LeBron...poor choice of defense mechanism... and definitely poor grammar with subject-verb (dis)agreement!

MillBoard Charts Song of the Week: So the other day...I was thinking about all the things I love about summer...and somehow the first things that came to my mind were obviously New Kids on the Block, Abercrombie & Fitch, and how Chinese Food makes me sick?  So, I wrote a song about it...

Unfortunately... like so many of my brilliant ideas...it turns out someone had the same exact idea 12 years ago.  Crap!  But I will say that great minds think alike and award the song of the week to "Summer Girls" by the Lyte Funky Ones (LFO).

As for my songwriting career, I'm gonna try branch out to a topic less likely to have already been written about...like maybe a song about how hard it is to choose seats on Fridays!
