If I Were A Boy

I love the song If I Were A Boy by Beyonce. This a great cover of the song I found on YouTube. Oh, and it's my Favorite Song of the Moment.

Family Birthday

15 years ago today my brother and I were adopted. It is still the greatest day of my life. Every year we celebrate and my mom gives me and my brother an ornament to put on the tree. My dad is no longer with us, but his presence is felt today and everyday of our lives. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mom, Dad and Chris.

I'm not at home right now, but when I get home I will post a picture from that day.

Luv This Picture

Quotes I Love

I've decided to add a new category to my blog, Quotes I Love, the first one is from MLK Jr.

"I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, quality, and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, other-centered men can build up."

Martin Luther King Jr.

Favorite Song of the Moment

So I have to favorite songs of the moment, it's my poragative. Hey I think that is going to be my Old School Jam of the Week, the only song that I like of Bobby Brown's or Britney Spears depending on how old you are. By the way I love Joey+Rory they are amazing.

Favorite Song of the Moment

This song is addictive and yes I am highly aware of the fact that the mojority of my favorite song of the moment have been country songs. I listen to everything but lately country songs have been the ones that have stood out to me.

So I wanted to do some updates today since I had some down time but my internet on my laptop is out. I'll try to get some updates done on the computer I'm using now. O by the way my brother is home from school, he's on his Christmas break. YAY!!!

I'm Twittering

I've been trying to resist this latest fad but the temptation was just to great. I've added a feed to my side bar. I wonder what trend will come next that I won't be able to resist. By the way I know that on last Friday I said that I would do massive updates to my blog over the weekend and as you already know I did not do any updates. I apologize and I will try to do as many updates as I can each day this week. I hope you all had a great day.

Updates

Hey Everyone!!! I know it's been forever since I've updated my blog but I promise there will be updates galore throughout the weekend.

President Barack Obama!!!

I'll share my thoughts on this a little later but here are some clips and pictures from last night.


“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.”

"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But America I have never been more hopeful that I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you we as a people will get there."

“This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.”



President Elect Barack Obama

Favorite Song of the Moment

I haven't posted a favorite song of the moment in while so I decided to finally post one. I LOVE SUGARLAND!!!

I had to post this...

since they are the only reason I'm watching the CMA's,

Wet Pants

My mom sent me this, I love the is story

Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid
sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his
feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to
stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened.
It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he
will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never
speak to him again as long as he lives.

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays
this prayer, 'Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five
minutes from now I'm dead meat.'

He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her
eyes that says he has been discovered.

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a
goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the
teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, 'Thank
you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!'

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the
object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym
shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on
their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is
wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been
his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you
klutz!'

Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, 'You did that on purpose, didn't you?' Susie whispers back, 'I wet my pants once too.'

May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.

Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your
garage makes you a car.

Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God
is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.

The Dodgers are in the Playoffs!!!

Excuse me for my oversight, I forgot to mention that the LA Dodgers won the NL West and are in the Playoffs. We are playing the Cubs. We them yesterday 7-2, James Loney hit a grand slam, Manny Ramirez was well Manny golfing a ball for a home run and my Russell Martin also hit a home run.

Campbell Brown delivered this commentary on her show Tuesday and I agree with her completely.

The WPS held their International Draft today

Two more reasons why I am going to cheering for St. Louis and LA. I know I have said already but I love women's soccer.


Hope Solo should be happy that her friend Lotta Schelin of Sweden will be joining her in St. Louis. Lotta has quickly established herself as one of Sweden's best players.




Los Angeles drafted Brazil's best player and arguably one of the world's best Marta.

So this past week the WPS allocated the the members of USWNT. Unfortunatly my favorite player, Hope Solo, isn't going to play for Los Angeles, she is playing for St. Louis. So I guess I'll be cheering for St. Louis also.

Dolphins, Britney, and P!nk

Hey everyone, I tried to post this last night but my computer was acting jacked. My beloved Miami Dolphins lost our season opener yesterday. It hurts but I always like to see the glass half full. We were a play away from tying the game and lost in the last few seconds. I know we are going to have some ups in downs this season and I not naive enough to that we are in rebuilding mode. So we're going to when some games, it's just a matter of time.



Britney Spears won three VMA Moon Men yesterday. YAY!!! I am such a huge fan of Britney. I have been ever since Mickey Mouse Club. She had it rough this past year but she is looking better than ever and on her way to an amazing comeback.






P!nk, one of my favorite artist of all time gave an amazing performance of her new single, So What. I don't know how long this is going to be posted but hopefully you can view it before it's taken down.

Women's Basketball team won the Gold

The Women's Basketball team routed Australia to win the Gold Medal in Bejing. Lisa Leslie now has four straight gold medals. I am so happy that she finished her Olympics career on top.

Misty May- Treanor and Kerri Walsh won the gold medal

I love beach volleyball. I first started getting into beach volleyball four years ago when the Olympics was in Athens, Greece. I watched Misty May and Kerri Walsh dominate the field on their way to their first gold medal. Misty and Kerri instantly became my favorites. This year Misty and Kerri dominated the Bejing Olympics and won the gold medal.

Women's National Soccer Team won the gold medal

Almost a year ago the WNT were in the championship game of the World Cup against Brazil. WNT goalkeeper Hope Solo was benched in favor of Briana Scurry who hadn't played in a while. The team went on to lose 4-0 against Brazil. After the game Hope Solo made this statement. The statement caused her to be kicked off of the team.



Hope proved that she was right all along by having seven saves and a clean sheet in the gold medal game against Brazil.
Here's a video of the WNT after they won the gold medal in Bejing



Here are some videos of pranks the national team have done and a video of one of the players birthday party.









Some pictures of my favorite player Hope Solo

Barack Obama Video

Hey everyone!!! I promise there will be updates very soon. Updates that will include my recap of the family reunion and the Olympics, but in the mean time here is a video my cousin Simeon aka Hashman Breeze did in support of Barack Obama.

Family Reunion

My family reunion ended today. I am headed back to Los Angles(Inglewood)as soon as my uncle comes and picks me up from my brother's apartment. I had a lot of fun at the family reunion and I look forward to next the reunion which will be held in St. Louis. When I get home I will post a slight recap of some of the events that happened over the weekend.

Road Trip

Hey I finally made it to Arkansas. I went to our family fish fry and met a lot of family and saw some that I hadn't seen in a while. While we on the road we played some interesting but fun games. The coolest part of the trip was when we passed through Checotah, Oklahoma. Checotah is where Carrie Underwood is from, after constantly hearing that name to pass through it and see the signs that stated that Carrie Underwood was from there was really cool. Okay I'm going to sleep now. I share more maybe tomorrow if I feel like it.

Just For Laughs

Favorite Things

Hey I hope everyone is having a great day. I'm going to Arkansas tomorrow for my family reunion. I'll put some updates and recaps of my trip if I capture something good. In the mean time here is a video I made of some if my favorite things.

Earthquake!!!

We just had a 5.4 earthquake. I was born and raised here in Los Angeles so I have experienced my fair share of quakes. Earthquakes are something I don't think I'll ever get used to. When the ground starts to shake out of no where and you have no idea when it's going to stop. This one was creepy because I was walking to my kitchen and I heard a strange noise that sounded like some one was trying to tear my roof off so I stopped and looked up and said what in the heck is that. Then everything started shaking and I immediately held on and it felt like it wouldn't end.

Kelly Clarkson is still the best American Idol winner ever

No disrespect to Reuben, Fantasia, Carrie, Taylor(lol), Jordin, or David but none of them can hold a candle to Kelly Clarkson when it comes to vocals. Fantasia(who screams and hollers way to much) and Carrie are good but Kelly can still blow them out of the water.

I have three new t.v. show addictions

Cold Case, The Closer and Saving Grace(even though none them are actually new shows, but there new to me considering I just started watching them)

I am absolutely hooked on these shows to the point where I am actually tempted to go bye the DVDs of the seasons I missed. There are so many things I love about these shows but one of the things that stands is that all three of theses shows feature a strong woman as the lead character.

Believe 2008

Now that I have said my goodbyes, it's time to look toward a future that burns bright. And so begins a new era in Dolphin land. We were down and now we can only go up. We go forth with the belief that we will return to glory.

We Believe

This Made Me Cry

Okay you guys are probably going to think I'm crazy but I can't help it. I am such a huge fan of the Miami Dolphins, Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas. I am passionate about my favorite teams and players as you probably already figured out. When I love a team I'm with them through the ups and downs. I love the Lakers. During the basketball season I bleed purple and gold. I adore Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher. I go through a strange sort of depression when they lose. When Derek left the Lakers to go play for the Warriors, I cried. I was equally as emotional but in a good way when he came back to our team. As the football season approaches and training camps begin, I am excited and remarkably sad. I'm excited because I am full of hope for what the Miami Dolphins can be. I know we're rebuilding but that's okay. I endured last season, I was able to withstand being the butt of every ones jokes and I know it can't be any worse. I'm sad because my favorite Dolphins are no longer technically Dolphins. I went through this a little bit when Dan Marino retired but it was sort of easier because he wasn't going to another team. Jason and Zach are on new teams with new numbers, but it's pretty cool that they have the same number, 55, but I am so used to 99 and 54 and their playing for teams that I didn't watch last season. I know that was a crazy run on sentence but I don't care. It's hard because as the season approaches, my blood is turning from purple and gold to teal and orange. The reality is setting in and my team is officially in rebuilding mode and don't have the players that I fell in love with when I became a Dolphin fan. I found this video on YouTube and as the title said I cried, this is a tribute to Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas.

Old School Jam of the Week

So this week OSJW come from the King himself, or at least that what some people call him. I love this song. I'm also going to post a version that Chris Brown did for the television special Movies Rock. Enjoy.

I'm Going Through An Adjustment Period

My two favorite Dolphins are playing for different teams this year and they are no longer wearing their Dolphin numbers. Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas are both wearing the #55 jersey. I'm conflicted in a way. I'm going to watch my Miami Dolphins play this year and I'm also going to watch the Washington Redskins play. My problem is watching the Dallas Cowboys play. I hate that team. Their are three teams in the NFL that I absolutely can not stand. They are the New England Patriots, the Oakland Raiders and the Dallas Cowboys. The conflict comes into play because I want to be able to watch Zach Thomas play. I know for sure that I will be watching them twice this year when they play the 'Skins. It's easy for me to watch the Redskins play because I have never had a problem with them, but Dallas that's a whole other story. Why couldn't Zach sign with the Saints. I really like the Saints and love watching them play. I get that Zach is from Texas and lives their, but couldn't he help out a loyal and faithful fan. Oh well, Jason and Zach will always be Dolphins as far as I'm concerned, it's just going to be really weird seeing them in the #55 and with uniforms that aren't orange and teal.
