Love and Football

What exactly do girls who love sports do when they have been letdown by their heroes in Game 7's?
They ponder their own love lives, or lack thereof using sports analogies.

And this is exactly what happened tonight while talking on the phone.

I am one angry little witch...really!

So, my Celtics lose, and I refuse to watch Sports Center, or anything on ESPN for like two days following the lose because my feelings are soooo hurt!! But I'm ok with the lose once I realize that the starting lineup from 2008 have still never lost a series...so I'm ok.

But, don't ya know, some non-basketball knowing men gotta open their mouths and piss me off.

Congrats Grads!

Yesterday at church, my pastor spoke to the recent grads about remaining upstanding citizens amidst the trash that they will face in college, grad school, and in the work place.

It got me to thinking about the supposed temptations of college that I managed to sidestep while there. The parties, alcohol, drugs, and of course sex. I mean I went to parties...when forced, and I drank, after I turned 21, and the rest I left for those who felt that they were equipped and ready for it.

"You can pray for peace... I'm gonna train for war."


"Why do I do it... Because if everyone expected the other guy to volunteer nobody would do it. For those before us so their service, lost friends, lost love, lost limbs and lives are not in vain. to ensure our very way of life... this privileged life lived by so few is preserved for those to come and those who I will call my brother when it's their turn to carry the torch and burden.

Soooo, what does that have to do with your love life????

I tend to write about sports on here, and I was going to write about my favorite subject of late, the NBA Finals, and how Kobe CHOKED last night, when my friend reminded me that this blog was supposed to be about my love life...or lack thereof.

Love and NBasketballA

So the NBA is looking for bloggers for their website, and someone thought I would be a great addition to their staff of "on the free" writers...I don't think so, though.

A game worth playing!!!

Sorry for the absence, I can't really blame it on anything besides being stunned into silence by the Lakers winning game 5 and 6. Boooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

But besides this minor setback, it was a great weekend. I actually figured out that a certain "road-dog" of mine, we'll call him Fido, wasn't an a**hole like I thought he was. In fact he he was just a misunderstood puppy LOL!!

Underestimation

In my last post, I was very specific about my love for, but mistrust of professional athletes, particularly of the National Basketball Association, otherwise known as the NBA. And while I stand by my overall assertion for all of the reasons I stated before, I was presented, through comments, with a couple of ideas that I wanted to respond to.

To be more specific, the assertions that most men cheat, and that Pro Athletes only associate or date women who could be found in a Maxim Magazine.

Be Careful What You Wish For...

Over the past few weeks I've been watching the NBA Playoffs with various female friends, and one thing never seems to go out of style when watching these events, 1) Ooooo, He's cute, I wander if he's single? and 2) Oh, He is FINE!!! He can get it!!!

Needless to say, I'm not usually the speaker of either of these comments, and I wouldn't admit it even if I were. SMH.

Woo me with D-Fence :-)

So the other night went well.
I managed to find an outfit that didn't overexpose me, and that was trendy at the same time.

But, I must say the most fun that I had this past weekend was on Saturday, I got to help celebrate the conclusion of an educational journey of a good friend, and I got to watch the Celtics beat down the Orlando Magic.

It's Friday Night and....

It's Friday night, and there's no youth group meeting for me to be at, and there's no place I have to be early tomorrow morning, so I'm going to head out with my girls on the town.

Problem....this very Blog, the writing of it and everything, has convicted me to such a level that now I am wondering what I SHOULD wear as opposed to what I'd like to wear.

Cliff's Notes

The popular notion these days is, is that if you haven't had sex as a female, it's because you weren't deemed worthy,(pretty), enough to be propositioned or asked. Same with dating. If you're a guy and the same is true, it's because you're too chicken to pull the trigger....I do not concur with these stupidly simplified explanations.









I mean I have been hit on while jogging in my neighborhood, and I've been asked, "So, how much would you pay me to bring you pleasure?", while wearing an Aunt Jemima scarf tied around my head.

Needless to say, the opportunity was there, I was just too mortified by the lack of respect that I never even considered the word "yes" in either case.

And I think this is how I've remained a virgin for so long. I see disrespect where others see flirtation....oh well.

A guy, who I've just met, telling me that my butt is fat, thinking that he is giving me a compliment, might get a sidelong glance that says, "I am not adverse to my knee finding out if you're wearing a cup or not".

Let's be real here,at the time, which was not too long ago, I was already a bit gun shy because I didn't think that I'd enjoy sex, and for some dude to suggestively imply that that was all I was good for would piss me off!!

I know, I know, how could any guy know that I was THAT grossed out by the idea of me having sex?
Don't know, AND care(d) even less.

I don't know if you're an a-hole by looking at you, and you can't tell if I'm the anti-nympho by looking at me. LOL

In any case, this kept me crab and STD free throughout highschool and college, and I am happy for it!!!

No, I no longer can claim that I am grossed out anymore, but I do have an appreciation for the act that leaves it in an area that I am not willing to travel to unless I am married.

Does this mean I could end up dying as the VirginDoll....yep, and I'm ok with that :-)

Don't Settle!!!

I was watching Steve Ward and his cast of dysfunctional couples on VH1's Tough Love Couples, and a comment that a mother spoke, on the show, to her son struck me HARD!!

No man? No true success...

Today I was talking to my cousin, who is the American Black Chick in Europe, who is actually back in the States for a little bit.

As I talked with her, I realized that we both go through a lot of similar experiences with our families where it concerns men. She has just finished her Masters Degree while studying in London, and has also lived in France for the past three to six months, but what was the first question she got from her extended family who hadn't seen her in at least two years?....Well it wasn't "how was France?"or even "Congrats on your Masters!", or heck, "What do you plan to do now that you've finished Grad School?"

Not Quite Pointers...

I have been sort of guilt tripped into NOT writing anymore of my Pointers to being a Platonic Female...but that will only last so long. Let's be honest, I like passing on knowledge, and heaven knows that I know THAT subject the best :-)
