I’m deeply passionate about a few things, talented musical artists like Mos Def and Maxwell, and football. Being a female, I didn’t get to experience the rush of running on to a field, combating a team’s defensive/offensive strategy, or the camaraderie from the game. As a spectator, I’m a loyal fan and willing to “fight” for my team. Needless to say, my heart broke with the outcome of the Superbowl.
I understand that some people can’t relate, it’s just a sport to them. But to me, it’s the thrill of the game, the appreciation of talent that is beyond myself, and I get excited about that.
So, “Congratulations Saints,” believe me when I say that was extremely hard to write. I just knew that the COLTS would win and Manning, the best QB, would be sporting another ring. To all the pseudo bandwagon Saints fans, don’t act like you are hardcore, many of you were nowhere to be found during the regular season. *Sigh*

Hmm…after the last post I searched for my “love songs rock!” CD. Last V’Day, I burned several love songs on CD and played the mix to myself. Somehow, the CD mysteriously disappeared? *suspicious looks at the BFFs*
I’m not sure which friend “borrowed” my love song mix but now I have to create volume two. I wanted an eclectic playlist but I think it is still heavy on the R&B.

Alright, I know it is early, today is only the first day of February but I can’t help thinking of three things: my birthday is Wednesday, followed by the Superbowl on Sunday, and Valentine’s day.
Valentine’s is the most ridiculous “holiday” that exist, in my opinion. However, even though I may think it is silly, every woman I know has an expectation that some guy will treat her to a special evening. I even include myself in that grouping. 
Chocolates, flowers, dinner reservations, are all apart of the Valentine’s ordeal and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I enjoy all those things.
I tried to reflect on the best Valentine’s Day that I have had and well, I couldn’t think of one. However, the best romantic thing ever done came from my ex. Go figure???
After a long day at work, I arrived home to a dark apartment. I was pissed because I felt that he had been inconsiderate to leave me to stumble around in the dark after having to deal with a multitude of problems at work. Just when I started to cuss and fuss, he opened the door to the bathroom where I was greeted with candles, music, flowers, and a hot bubble bath. AWESOME!!! I love bubble baths!
He even had a book on the floor, opened to the section in which I was reading. As if that wasn’t enough, hot tea was waiting for me and he had placed a rubber band on the sink for my hair. AWESOMENESS again!!! Lastly, towels had been placed in the dryer so that they were warm and fluffy when I was ready to get out.
Sounds perfect, right?
Well, I found out later I left my journal out and he’d read it. As upset as I was, I did give him an “A” for effort. Shortly thereafter, we broke up.

Well Mother Nature has managed to screw up my weekend plans with the impending snow and I don’t even have my new Netflix movies. What is a girl to do?
As usual, I stopped at the grocer, with every other resident in the city, to prepare for a weekend of being snowed in. Unlike many, my cart consisted of only a few essential items, such as beer, soup, toilet paper, Hot Tamales, chocolate, and pizza. As I looked around at others, I wondered if I misunderstood the weather forecast. People had carts packed to the brim with bread, milk, eggs, etc. and I wondered if I had not been told that Armageddon was approaching.
I swear! The people in this city lose their damn minds when it comes to snow in the area. Seriously, I don’t understand the concept of shopping to this extent during a snow storm. Can someone please explain why people do this?
