Oh No!!!!!!


Dirk went down in today's game. He twisted his knee. My baby got hurt!! I hope the rest of the team steps up and wins the next game for him. SCARY!!! If he can't come back then I can say that the Spurs will win it all. Best of luck to them, but I still must say...GO MAVS!!!!

Go Annika!!


Oh well, she didn't make the cut. But YOU GO GIRL!!!!

I bet half the people at the Colonial don't know anything about golf, they're just there to be seen. Nonetheless, I'm sure Fort Worth is getting the publicity and money it deserves. Whoever invited Annika is a SMART person. No one would care about the Colonial Tournament, but thanks to Annika, people are taking notice. At least she can play with the big boys.

This-or-That Tuesday

(on Wednesday)

Even More Potpourri...
...because it smells delicious!

2. Potato chips or pretzels? Potato Chips (see below Friday Five)
3. House or apartment? Right now apartment, but eventually a house
4. Zebras or giraffes? Giraffes
5. Candles or potpourri? Candles
6. Flowers or trees? Flowers
7. Right or left-handed? Right-handed
8. Model trains or dolls/stuffed animals? Stuffed Animals
9. Comedy or drama? Comedy
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: The city of Boston has recently banned smoking in all restaurants and bars. Would you want to see such a law passed in your city/town/country, or not? Dallas passed the smoking ban a few weeks ago. Not sure how it has affected the businesses in the area. All I know is that it doesn't matter to me. I know lots of people who smoke and they just go to the surrounding areas where they can smoke without being harassed. Besides it's up to the smoker whether they want to light up. From what I understand the business just has to post that they are a non-smoking establishment, but the one that gets fined is the smoker not the business. Also, in Plano they passed the smoking ban and a couple months later revoked it as long as the establishment put in some type of air filter system. Good Luck Boston.

Dante's Inferno Test


So I came across this test from another site. What level of hell will I be banished to? Check out my results...

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to
the Third Level of Hell!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)High
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Moderate
Level 2 (Lustful)Low
Level 3 (Gluttonous)Very High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)High
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)Very Low
Level 7 (Violent)Low
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)Low
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)Very Low


Third Level of Hell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.

Take the Dante's Inferno Hell Test

Happy Mother's Day


Just wanted to wish all the mom's out there a Happy Mother's Day.

I thank God everyday for blessing me with such a great mother. Although I may be stubborn, she is the most patient person I know. I can only hope to be as good of a mother as she is. THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU.

Friday Five



1. Would you consider yourself an organized person? Why or why not? Yes, If things are out of place, I'm always trying to straighten it out.

2. Do you keep some type of planner, organizer, calendar, etc. with you, and do you use it regularly? I have a planner and try to use it as much as possible, but most of the time it's all up in my head.

3. Would you say that your desk is organized right now? Don't have a desk to organize with the exception of my computer desk, but I hardly ever work there.

4. Do you alphabetize CDs, books, and DVDs, or does it not matter? I tried to alphabetize my CD's but I have too many that it would take too much moving around.

5. What's the hardest thing you've ever had to organize? Nothing physical, I had to "organize" a dance routine a few weeks before we had to present it...tough!

104-78


That's the score right now of the Mavs/Sacramento game and it's still only the 3rd with two and a half minutes left.

However, Chris Webber just went down. Hope he's okay. I want to see the Mavs win, but I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

Time to watch the fourth at Sharky's among other Mavs fans.

GO MAVS!

This-or-That Tuesday: The Media Edition (on Thursday)



Okay, I decided to join another fun list to make this blog somewhat interesting. Check out This-or-That Tuesday to join the list.

1. TV or radio? TV
2. On the radio: talk or music station? Music
3. Actual books or books-on-tape (or e-books)? Actual books
4. Actual newspaper, or web version? Actual newspaper
5. Wall Street Journal or National Enquirer? National Enquirer
6. TV news...news channel such as CNN, or your local broadcast news? TV News
7. A movie you've been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway, or pass? See it anyway

10. Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would you choose...print (newspapers, magazines) or electronic (TV, internet)? Why? Electronic, just too lazy to read paper form, I have enough with school stuff anyway...also, less paper lying around.

Another Beginning


And another trimester begins. Today was the first day of class. It looks like another loooong trimester. I'm already behind...gotta read 4 chapters by next week (in one book) and another chapter or two in another. AHHHH!!!

Okay, so the Mavs pretty much sucked yesterday...good luck tomorrow! Is it too much to ask to win at least one game??? Okay, I have confidence in the guys, they just need to step up.

I hope to update this blog as much as possible. Wish me luck.

Bring on Sacramento



Well, I was hoping to bring good news and YES!!! The Mavericks beat the Trailblazers...whew! Awesome job done by Dirk Nowitzki and Nick Van Exel. And of course...Michael Finley and Steve Nash, too. The rest of the Mavs need to step up if they hope to get past Sacramento. Oh and why don't they play Raja Bell, Popeye Jones, and Walt Williams...I think they could contribute more than Bradley has done. And that's my Mavericks schpeel.

Now, tomorrow the Stars need another win against the Ducks to tie the series...GOOD LUCK DALLAS STARS.

J-Lo Observation


We've all seen the "I'm so Glad" video right? It just doesn't go right with the video concept of "Flashdance." It's a great recreation, but she's all backwards. I've been trying to think of what song would go better with the concept and I think "Jenny from the Block" should have had the Flashdance concept and "I'm So Glad" should have had the Ben Affleck/paparazzi concept. Just some random thought.

Oh and the Mavs have their backs against the wall. GO MAVERICKS! It's the end of the first and they are down by three, but there is alot of basketball to go. Hopefully later on tonight, I can post good news.
