Devil Town

“I was living in a devil town
Didn’t know it was a devil town
Oh Lord, it really brings me down
About the devil town.”

-    “Devil Town” performed by Tony Lucca

For the past seven months, I experienced the best TV drama run in my life. OK, make that the last ten months so that we can include the series finale of “Lost.” During that stretch, I watched the best two seasons of “Mad Men.” “Boardwalk Empire” had a solid debut season. I finally had the fortitude to watch 2 ½ seasons of “Breaking Bad.”

Peaking at the Right Time

For the past four years, I have enjoyed at least a championship victory from one of my favorite teams. In 2007, the Boston Red Sox notched its second World Series win of the decade. In 2008, the Ateneo Blue Eagles took the league by storm by blowing past their opponents by going 13-1 in the elimination round and 3-0 in the postseason. 2009 seemed to be the 2008 mirror image for the Blue Eagles except for the Game 2 loss. Either way, they repeated. Last year was probably my favorite year in sports as the Duke Blue Devils and the Ateneo Blue Eagles won their respective collegiate basketball crowns. Technically, I enjoyed three championships last year as my WNBA team – the Seattle Storm won. But since I did not follow them (as I was busy studying for certification then), I will not be counting them in my personal list. Yup, I am a lucky S.O.B. when it comes to sports. However, there has always been that chip on my shoulder – my favorite teams do not seem to peak at the right time.
