NBA… What?
June 18th, 2003
First and foremost, JT I hope you do well on you know what :D
I love you so much!!
Argh for some reason the last couple of times that I have blogged, b2 is giving me double posts. I’m going to have to fix that because it’s getting annoying to have to log into CPanel and delete the entry through phpMyAdmin everytime. Yeah yeah I know that I can delete it through my b2template.php but I didn’t want so many skipped entries, i.e. this will be entry number XX1 then it will double post as XX2 and I will delete XX2.
If any of you know how to fix this could you tell me?
Moving right along..
Despite the popular belief.. I predicted that the San Antonio Spurs would win in six games. I really didn’t give a rat’s ass about this year’s playoffs. I watched less than one quarter of the entire playoffs! I think I’m still bitter about NBA being on ABC instead of NBC. Things just aren’t right on the other network *shudders.* So NBC, bring Marv Albert back and even Bob Costas (hey he can do his HBO too), swallow your pride and buy out that contract that ABC has with NBA. How about that? Then I’ll start watching regularly again.
Losing Faith in Wrestling
June 17th, 2003
I must have been out of my mind last night because I didn’t turn on WWE RAW until 8:53pm CST when my mom called and reminded me that it was on. Even worse, I missed the Hell in the Cell match from the Bad Blood PPV the previous night. Am I losing my faith in wrestling. I hope not! I grew up on wrestling. Except for my little phase during high school and when Macho Man Randy Savage hit some woman (was it Elizabeth?) in the ring live, wrestling is the one thing on television that has never let me down. Things have changed in the last two years.. my mom no longer gets the PPVs every month. This was once one of our favorite monthly family gatherings. Now don’t get me wrong, I haven’t totally abandoned wrestling. Within the last two years I’ve only missed one out of the four live events that have been to St. Louis. We attended two RAWs, one in which we had second row seats.
What scares me about wrestling today.. is that a great majority of the popular and good wrestlers are old. Who is the next generation going to have? There are some; The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, RVD and John Cena just to name a few, but what is wrestling going to be without Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, HBK, Hogan and The Undertaker. HHH is borderline in the old category.. lol how old is he anyway?
Second Anniversary
June 16th, 2003
I had a wonderful weekend. Although a little late.. JT and I celebrated our two year anniversary. Better late than never, yes. We spent the weekend at Mariott’s Residence Inn, which was the same place that my surprise birthday party was at in January. Normally weekends seem to go by way too fast, but our weekend was so fulfilling that it felt like a entire week of vacation. I have pictures but I’m having problems with installing the Coppermine gallery at the moment. We’ll see how that goes.
If you have Real Player installed, you’ll hear Madonna- What It Feels Like For A Girl. Absolutely, one of my favorite songs. It expresses how I often feel in my life.
The play, pause and stop control buttons are on the bottom left off the page. Does the coding give you an error? Let me know about it.
Off to work I go.
Madonna – What It Feels Like For A Girl
(Spoken)
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
‘Cause it’s OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
‘Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you’d love to know what it’s like
Wouldn’t you
What it feels like for a girl
Silky smooth
Lips as sweet as candy, baby
Tight blue jeans
Skin that shows in patches
Strong inside but you don’t know it
Good little girls they never show it
When you open up your mouth to speak
Could you be a little weak
Chorus:
Do you know what it feels like for a girl
Do you know what it feels like in this world
For a girl
Hair that twirls on finger tips so gently, baby
Hands that rest on jutting hips repenting
Hurt that’s not supposed to show
And tears that fall when no one knows

1. What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to do, but never have?
I have always wanted to travel out of the country to several countries in Africa.
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
I am almost always honest about those types of opinions. The fact that I won’t always state my opinion so bluntly is the important part.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn’t? What happened?
Yes and after I found out that information I treated that person differently.
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
I would live in the middle earth of Lord of the Rings as an elf because:
1. I love Tolkien novels.
2. Elves live a very long time.
3. Elves are intelligent and witty.
5. What’s one talent/skill you don’t have but always wanted?
I would love to be able to sing. *sigh*
De-Construction
June 12th, 2003
Doing a little layout work, don’t mind the mess.
[edit]
Okay I’m finished. I’m not even going to pretend that I know about website design. I just like to put something together that looks decent and defines a part of who I am. Simplicity and Elegance is my thing. I hope you like.
Meanwhile, yes I still have to put a guestbook up.
Entrance to Heaven
Two doctors and an HMO manager died and lined up at the pearly gates for admission to heaven. St. Peter asked them to identify themselves. One doctor stepped forward and said, “I was a pediatric spine surgeon and helped kids overcome their deformities.”
St. Peter said, “You can enter.”
The second doctor said, “I was a psychiatrist. I helped people rehabilitate
themselves.”
St. Peter also invited him in.
The third applicant stepped forward and said, “I was an HMO manager and helped people get cost-effective health care.” St. Peter said, “You can come in too.”
As the HMO manager walked by, St. Peter quietly added, “But you can only stay three days… After that you can go to hell.”
I can’t really relate to these but anyway…
You Know You’re At A Black Funeral When:
01. If three generations get out of the family car to beat down someone for cutting into the funeral procession.
02. When people break down crying, try to climb into the casket, and tell the Lord that they “wanna go.”
03. When the dead person is wearing $3,000 worth of jewelry, and the funeral directors strip the body before closing the casket for the final time.
04. When friends and family wear T-shirts with a photo of the deceased on it to the funeral!
05. When someone walks around to view the body and yells out, DAT WUZ MY IGGA!”
06. hen the brothas stand around drankin’ after the service and someone pours a lil supmtin’ on the ground for the homie who’s no longer with us.”
07. When most of the relatives keep fainting before, during,and after the service.
No Help in the Workplace
June 7th, 2003
I am sick of people at work that offer their help to you “whenever you need it” yet when time comes to the point when you need it, you politely ask for their assistance (to see if they are not busy and willing), then they look at you like you have just bothered them to no end.
Or they will say, “do you have training in that,”… “didn’t you learn that in training?”
What that statement and question really means is, “I’m too stupid to answer your question, so let me try to belittle you by asking if you were trained in it.”
Of course first and foremost I admire people who know what the hell they are talking about. There are a couple of people at work that I can nearly ALWAYS count on for help. Secondly, I also admire the person who doesn’t know what they are talking about, BUT will admit that they simply do not know. Just tell me “I don’t know,” instead of bullshitting with this talk about was I trained in it. Whether or not I was trained in the subject is not the question. The question is, can you help me with my problem YES or NO and if not shut your ass up so I can find someone that CAN help me.
I don’t have time for all that beating around the bush shit at work.
Last night, I had the worst Charlie Horse ever in my left calf muscle.
Ok so all Charlie Horses feel this way, but still…
Anyway, I stretched out my legs and suddenly a pain shot to my leg like it was a roasting turkey leg over an open fire. I felt like screaming but no sound would come out. I felt helpless until I willed the pain away which took a few minutes. Yeah I had to use mind control because massaging my leg did absolutely nothing for me. This morning, my calf muscle is still a little tender.
If a Charlie Horse feels this bad in my calf muscle I shudder to think about what it feels like in other areas. Thankfully, I have not experienced this.

1. How many times have you truly been in love?
Twice.
2. What was/is so great about the person you love(d) the most?
He is such a gentleman, intelligent, funny, supportive of my goals and he loves me unconditionally.
3. What qualities should a significant other have?
Honesty, repectful, considerate, supportive and willing to share.
4. Have you ever broken someone’s heart?
Not to my knowledge.
5. If there was one thing you could teach people about love, what would it be?
Nothing about love is easy. Nothing about love is logical. Love is an emotion, you cannot find reason within an emotion. Love will bring you the greatest joys of your life and the greatest sorrows of your life.
