Eliza Dushku certainly has achieved that...!
And she achieved it... the hard way.

The B.E.S.T: Bostonian Extreme Sports!
Kind of on a ''FB video craze'' right now -
and look what I found there now:
Post by Vince DelMonte.
Ah, those Go Pro - Be A Hero guys...!
They're loco... man!
And they're inspiring too!
They inspire Boston athletes all the time
(that is, when they are not Bostonians themselves!)
and they sure did inspire me on numerous times -
most notably for this video right here:
Genesis - not Boston, this time...
Oh well...
Phil Collins is kinda like
an adopted Bostonian, too!

Boston's Finest Foursome
A recently released brand new t-shirt design
assembling a Celtic, a Sox, a Bruin and a Pat
(namely Rajon Rondo, Dustin Pedroia,
Patrice Bergeron and Tom Brady)
got us all thinking, here, at Bostonian Dreams...
Who, ah, but who truly is the ultimate quartet,
the Finest Four... the fantastic four
of this fine town... Boston?
There are the generic, prototypical ones,
amply used by B:CofC here:
Stupendous DeviantArt by Gartner
And then there are Boston's actual athletes, of course:
Patrice, Rajon, Dustin and Tom represent an elite today, surely...
But do they really compare with these:
Yaz... Larry... Cam... Ty...
Bobby... Bill... David... Teddy...
Or, in truth and fact, Boston's True Finest:

From World Series Champions To A July 31st Fire Sale
Really - she is that good!
The only John left in town
will be glad you did... Ben!
(Bye Bye Lester...
Lackey...
Gomes...
And may we re-sign one of you
as a free agent
soon!)

You've Got To Love Boston
Luck might change course in 2014-15...
But most likely without Love.
Meanwhile, RR is still a Celt -
and what a pro he is, too!
NESN raves on about his
consummate professionalism -
here.
The Celtics' summer is not going the way
Danny Ainge and the BC brass wanted, though...
Where's that leprechaun when you need him, hmm?
Good luck!

Generous Greg & Bratty Brad
Look at what the Boston Bruins webmaster (webmestre?)
and social media coordinator
has shared regarding the B's off-season
caritas (charitable) activities...
Three things the share failed to, er, share:
who is Pete Frates... what is ALS...
and who could it be, among the B's,
that Gregory Campbell aka Soupy
would have thought of, first,
to extend this offer to...?
Pete Frates is a former Boston College
baseball player who is actually
plagued with the disease now.
ALS is better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
And the attempt at keeping a veil of mystery
shrouding the identity of the player
whom ''Soupy'' challenged was...
surely on purpose
but everyone knew who it was,
already!
Brad Marchand - aka Marchy -
not only accepted the challenge
(and delivered proof, too -
but passed it on to several more
genuinely kind-hearted guys:
teammates Torey Krug and Chris Kelly
as well as the AHL's Andrew Bodnarchuk
and his own brother Jeff Marchand.
ALS doesn't stand a chance
when the Bruins
are involved!
This just goes to show,
once again,
that the Boston Bruins
are a tremendous bunch
of genuine good guys
- no matter what some may say!
Meanwhile,
Gregory Campbell's lookalike,
Graham DeLaet,
is raising man's awareness
of Dove for Men products
first and foremost.
It just speaks for itself.
None of the gentlemen involved
are veritable ''doves'' however -
not even the cartoon character there...
But that's another story.

Impossible Dream Getting Even More Impossible
How sadly ironic that, not even a full year removed
from a World Series victory,
an occurrence such as this, normally commonplace
in the City of Champions,
seems to be so rare, at Fenway, nowadays...
Alas, it's true.
And the ''Impossible Dream 2.0''
-the 21st Century version of the 1967 exploit-
might actually have to wait a while
in order to be officially re-enacted
as the Red Sox brass
appears to have thrown in the towel already
on the year that was to be
the defense of their championship...
As much as last year was a dream year,
this year is diametrically the opposite of that...
It's getting to be so bad, now,
(with another close loss
relegating the defending champs
10 games back of 1st place,
and 7 out of a wildcard berth,
all that with about 60 games left to go)
that new G.M. Ben
(not a G.I. Joe type)
rather than in that of '76...
Say it isn't so, G.M. Ben!
(Well, we don't really want to hear
what he's got to say, right now...)
In the meantime,
with most of the team still intact
(thank God!)
-no thanks to Ben-
Red Sox Nation
can still dream
of the impossible indeed -
to see the Sox make up
this much ground
and compete
with the O's
(of all teams - the O's?!?)
and those damn Yanks
for top spot
in the East,
come October...
In other news, since the All-Star break,
the Red Sox -the only Real Sox- have only lost one
of those guys that made it on the voting ballot
- and,as we all know, 2 out of 3 ain't bad!
Especially when those are
Big Papi and Pedroia!
Speaking og Big Papi,
Yaz himself stopped by Fenway recently
and gave David Ortiz
his second place spot
on the all-time greatest hitters list
in Boston history -
right behind Ted Williams.
High praise - high praise, indeed.
Not nearly as pleasant,
were the returns of several of the
teammates Big Papi used to have;
the team that ''reversed the curse'' in 2004...
Many of them said such things as
''the writing's on the wall''
(Kevin Millar)
regarding the throwing of the towel
for this very season...
Ironic to see Kevin Lowe, though;
when the Celtics hope to have Kevin Love...
But that's another story!
