I’m Beyond Happy!!!!!!!!!!

I love the news today. There was a 50/50 chance that I would wake up today hating the news all day long, but I love the news today! I went to sleep last night with a huge smile on my face and today I woke up the same way. It feels great! I haven’t smiled like this in about 8 years! LOL. That’s all I have to say about that! I know everyone is blogging about the Presidential election so there is no need for me to do that, but I just wanted to type how happy I am. I’m so happy that my vote (along with millions of others) really did make a difference. It’s such an amazing feeling. I feel like I can take over the world!!! OK, maybe not. But I do feel like certain things will improve in my life because of what happened at 11p last night. Despite some people trying to take away my joy, I’m happy!

But He’s Number 3!!!

For all those of you who don’t know, I’m a huge basketball fan. I love the sport! I’ve been a basketball fan since I was a little girl. Of course my favorite basketball player growing up was Michael Jordan but since then I’ve been a huge Allen Iverson fan. I’ve loved him through all of the team changes over the years. I kind of feel excited that he’s now in Detroit because they’re such a great basketball team. I’m hoping that with this team he can finally get a ring before he retires. I don’t think he’ll retire until he gets a ring and Detroit seems like his best chance.

I thought it was kind of sad that he had to lose his famous #3 by signing with Detroit. He’s been #3 throughout his whole career and now he’s #1. I know that may seem like a stupid thing to worry about but he’s really famous for being #3!! I can’t imagine purchasing Allen Iverson sports gifts with #1 on it. It just doesn’t seem right to me! LOL

I Forgot To Say…

I had this entry saved from the other day and totally forgot to post it so I’m going to post it now. LOL. I don’t know why I never posted it. It’s from last week. SMH…

08-28-08 I woke up this morning with a major migraine. I had a really great night last night though. I pretty much watched the Democratic National Convention and the shows that followed on BET with my best. We really enjoyed it. I was enjoying the whole experience until Barack came out and I started crying like a little baby. I just really love that man. I always have. There’s just something about him. My best kept asking me “why are you crying” and I’m like “Dude, do you understand the gravity of this moment!!!”…. “Plus he’s so hot!” LOL. I really pray for Barack Obama. I pray that God gives him the strength and ability to lead this country in a new direction and that this country supports him in doing so.

Poor Jordin!!

I feel so bad for Jordin Sparks. I was reading online the other day that she has been struck with a career-threatening throat injury. The reports say that she’s suffering from an acute vocal cord hemorrhage and that it’s forced her to cancel several dates as the opening act on Alicia Keys’ tour. They said that if she doesn’t take the time out now to rest her vocal cords and let things heal that she will be risking permanent vocal cord damage. Ugh. I know that must be killing her. Not only because she’s a singer and that’s her gift, but it’s also her livelihood. I pray that she makes a speedy recovery and gets to join AK on tour soon!!
