let's talk sports, and laugh at Kobe.

So if you know anything about me you probably realize I'm a big time sports fan. Let's get more specific- I'm a huuuuuge LeBron James fan. I love watching him play and I love a good Cinderella story so I find his rough upbringing into world class athlete story touching. My little brother loves me a lot and photo shopped the above picture of me and Bron Bron. I know, adorable right? It's pretty much my new fav picture ever.

As much as I love LeBron, I hate a couple of players.

#1 Dirk Nowitzki. I know you are probably thinking it's because Dallas beat out Miami in the finals last year but really it's because he is annoying to watch fake fouls because he is 7 feet tall. Like really 6'3 D-Wade did not knock you flat on the ground- you are enormous. Kind of like your giant teeth. They bug me too. Let's keep it real he are pretty creepy looking.

#2 Kobe. I'm not going to lie he is really, really good. But that makes it even more annoying when he acts all entitled when he gets fouled like, "you dared touch Kobe." Homeboy if you don't want any contact maybe you should have been a ballerina. Just saying. And I know you are athletic enough that when you do fall/get pushed that you can get off the ground by yourself but no, you have to wait for someone to help you up. Awful. And yes he scores a lot of buckets but hello he shoots a TON. Like that little 40 point streak- yeah that was taking a lot of shots to get there. LeBron was putting up high 30's with half the number of shots. Anyway, I wanted to share a video a friend showed me making fun of Kobe after getting swept by Dallas last year. (It shows Dirk too but doesn't clown on him, bummer.) It is important you watch so you will understand why inevitably I'm going to be saying "Cut. Outta here," a lot. It is hilarious but I will warn you drops some F words in the last few seconds so if that offends you I would close out before the last 15 seconds or so. Enjoy. xx

in with the new {year}

Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of NYE. Like, seriously, it gets so hyped up every year and so it always ends up being a MAH-JOR disappointment. It's not just me, I know it. {If you are one of those people that love it and it's everything it is hyped up to be every year, we are not friends. Just kidding.}
So I've got a system. No expectations, little to no plans prior to the week of, no kiss, nada. This year I went to the club I go to all the time, nothing exciting or new, with no expectations and did the night blow my mind? Not at all. But as Roscoe Dash would say it was a good, good night. So obviously it is working, because the higher the expectation the bigger the bust. Below are some pictures from the night.


We are usuals.

Me and the lovely Shalaysa {she never comes out but I guess she made an exception for the *shudder* holiday}

But can we talk about how pointless NY resolutions are? If you make and keep a new resolution every new year I am literally giving you a standing ovation right now. Really, you should see how people are looking at me. Not that making goals is a bad thing- I'm always making new ones. But the pressure to think of something big and life changing that you need to accomplish/stop/start doing at the beginning of each year and then actually do it? Exhausting.

Here's an idea- monthly check ins. At the end of each month take a look and say, hey does my life suck? Could it be better? Am I doing something to make it better/not doing something that would improve it? BAM! Baby steps, people. For example, last week I realized I have become the worst at working out. So this week I went to the gym. I think the best changes are the kind you are continually identifying and working on. That is a hell of a lot easier too. Again, if you have the will power to make a big change every year more power to you but as a self-proclaimed slacker I'd much rather stop and fix things as I go before waiting for it to become resolution-worthy. Just a thought.
Promise I'm not bitter. ;)
If you are the resolution making type, one thing I'm always working on is becoming more organized (who isn't?) so I thought I'd share a link I enjoyed with 8 little things you can do to accomplish organization. (Did I mention I like baby steps?)
