First things first.... My Boys in Green.....
Celtics:
I can't say I'm surprised that my boys went out the way they did, but it didn't lessen the blow. A very tough pill to digest for all us LOYAL Celtics fans. We have concerns at this point. Ray, KG, Pierce, our boys, our Glue, are getting up there to that age. The minds of all Boston fans are wondering... Will they stay or will they go? I have grown to absolutely LOVE these guys. Their heart.. Their Emotion.... Their determination..... So hard to think about my boys gone. No longer seeing #20 drain a 3, or KG beat on his chest. It just doesn't seem right... And yet we were SO close! But .... O Doc, and Danny, I have a few questions for you.
I really wish someone could explain to me why this trade happened, toward the end of the FREAKIN season. We were on TOP... Rolling through the East. We beat Miami 3 times, we were in it to WIN it. Kendrick Perkins was back... And the chemistry was there. After losing last year to the Lakers in the NBA Championship, so many wondered if we had Perkins, could we have pulled it off. ABSOLUTELY. Perkins was key. He was our brother, teammate, and all the SUDDEN gone. Why exactly is that? We were the DOMINATE team in the NBA, the team to beat... Boston Fans loved Perkins, we all screamed with joy upon his return. So... Why, again I ask? Why remove such a critical piece to our team? Knowing the emotion of our players... As soon as the trade occurred, our players hit the bottom. Rondo pulled away. He lost his BEST FRIEND, and the others lost their teammate and also their brother. I cannot seem to find one justified reason why this occurred. Was it really necessary to throw everything out the window, suck all the air out of our players, and ripe the hearts of us, faithful fans??? HMMMM.... I didn't think so.
I welcome anyone to shed insight on this for me, because I'm devastated, and my boys lost... TO MIAMI! Like... REALLY?!! Only time Miami beats us..... AFTER THE TRADE!! Seems simple enough to me. We got screwed by our Owner, President, and Coach, and that my friends... a TOUGH pill to swallow.
Reality T.V. Update:
Mob Wives: I just started watching this show just a few weeks ago and all I can say is WOW. This show is CRAZY! But then again, what should I expect?? A reality show that goes around and follows Wives of Mobsters. These gals are NUTS, especially Renee. I find myself wanting to turn away, but for some reason, I just can't. Very true when I say its just like a train wreck, and you can't look away, when you know you should. New episode this evening on VH1. I've already got the DVR ready to go, because (add it to the list) I'm hooked!
The Real Housewives of OC: I've been a RHOOC fan from Day 1, as this was the original show. I have watched season after season, and seen these ladies go from fake to even more fake. Vicki is still just as crazy as ever, expecting her marriage to survive with her working 15 hours a day. I feel bad for Don. Tamra is going through some mid life crisis, and is acting like she is 21, dating Eddie, doing body shots, and basically soft core porn on this show, when she claims she doesn't want her kids to know about him. GET OUTTA HERE!! Alexis..... O my, SHE is a piece of work. I cannot stand her or her husband Jim, who is the ruler, the King. I mean look at this guy!! Alexis come on, quit playing a part, we know your style, you married Jim because he's rich and funding your dress line. All I can say, Good luck with that!! Gretchen is hilarious. She cracks me up with Slade and her mean humor. She tends to say such rude things and then just has that evil laugh, like haha, I'm just playing... Why are you so fat Slade?! Hahahaha. Go get me coffee Slade.. Bahahaha. Its like IS THIS GUY HE BOYFRIEND OR HER MAID? Same situation here, another train wreck, yet I'm glued to the Bravo every Sunday at 10. And tomorrow The Real Housewives of NJ starts up and I can't wait. Looking forward to this one. Very similar to Mobwives. Add another show to the list! ;)
American Idol: I have watched this entire season, and haven't blogged about it yet. I was a big Paul McDonald fan, and once he left, I vowed to not watch the show anymore.... Well you see how well that worked out. I'm back.. And DISAPPOINTED again. Although I've been a Haley fan all season, I feel James Durbin was ROBBED this week, when he was sent home. Haley doesn't have the voice. She can't reach those notes, she can only strut her stuff across the stage. Is this how she is getting millions of votes? I don't get it, you're good, but not on the level of Scotty, Lauren, or James. I'm interested to see how things pan out this week on Idol, when the final 3, head home. If I were to predict what will happen, I say Haley goes home, and were left with the 2 most likable kids on the show. Tune it Wed at 8 on Fox.
Normally Zumba is the very first thing I blog about, but this week it went on the back burner as our A/C went out. I was able to ZUMBA on Monday, but that was it, and I have been so down. I have missed it so much, and cannot wait to get started again today. I didn't want to go many days without ZUMBA for fear I wouldn't go back, but its true. I'm addicted and even with a week passing, I still can't wait to get back to it. I mean its Sunday, the one day I normally don't work out and its all I can think about. So this week I will push myself extra hard, add on some additional time, and I will get back into the groove and have plenty of workout pics when I update my blog later in the week.
Each of you doing ZUMBA, or any work out, I hope everyone is seeing results and continually pushing themselves harder each week. Drink plenty of water, and keep motivating yourself. Results are coming!! Doesn't happen overnight and also won't happen without dedication, so just KEEP going. Have faith in yourself and know that YOU CAN DO anything you put your mind too.
For those of you who haven't done ZUMBA, I encourage you to check it out. If you enjoy dancing, or music, get it. You can do it from the comfort of your own home, either on DVD or your own gaming system. Its WORTH every penny, and you will LOVE it, I know. I haven't talked to one person that isn't addicted! So get up, and ZUMBA!
Update on Muah/Song for the Week:
This past week was extremely challenging, full of obstacles and troubles... BUT...I managed to make it. After everything, I think back and know that LIFE isn't supposed to be easy, and that we all are dealt a tough deck at times. However we will always persevere, if we just weather the storm and know everything will be okay.
A/C is FINALLY fixed, now back to life. We can work out, we can cook, I can dry my hair, and even do laundry!! No more sweaty nights, we can relax after 300 bucks!! LOL. I tell ya what, if I was a younger guy, I'd be getting into HVAC. Seriously, money in the bank! ;)
My song for this week and really every week, is Kirk Franklin's, I Smile (You can go to the bottom on my blog, and its on my playlist, if you want to listen) or CLICK HERE!!
Prayer for the Week Ahead:
Our Father in Heaven,
As we enter into this new week, I pray that you will 'hold up' those who need Your strength at this time.
Let them know that You are with them every step of the way shouldering their pain.
Surround them with Your eternal love and give them the reassurance that with You that there are brighter days ahead.
Place Your peace in their hearts and raise their spirits with the joy that You promise for all believers.
Bind us all together by Your Holy Spirit and help us to minister to each other's needs.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen
Until next Time, One Love!
