In the wake of the newly retired NBA legend, Tim Duncan, San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor declares July 21st as 'Tim Duncan Day' in reflection of the number he has worn since his college days. On this day throughout San Antonio, people can be seen wearing their spurs gear in remembrance of Tim Duncan.

When the Spurs' superstar announced that he would not be returning for another season, local San Antonians felt what seemed like their hearts were being ripped out. Tim Duncan entered the league with San Antonio in the 1997 NBA draft and completed his NBA career with San Antonio with the 2015-2016 season, leaving a big imprint on the city and the fans. He completed his 19-year career with five championships, two league MVP awards, three finals MVP awards, and countless other prestigious honors and awards to his name. He is the greatest power forward to ever play the game and is just one of the greatest players ever.

Timmy was the foundation and leader to the spurs. He wooed the fans that love him dearly with his humility and kind nature. Being the most consistent player to ever step foot on the court leaves the fans and the rest of the NBA wondering, what is next for San Antonio?

Head coach Gregg Popovich, and General Manager, RC Buford, are already underway trying to fill the big shoes Timmy has left behind by signing Pau Gasol to be along side with, already acquired, LaMarcus Aldridge. Furthermore, we are not completely heartbroken over his retirement, but rather just happy it happened.

From fans everywhere, we love you, Tim.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
