7 Signs of Love Makin

Spoiler alert: this post has nothing to do with love making, though I may touch on that later (that's what she said). It does have to do with the #7 and I wanted to do a witty title and for some reason this song by Tyrese popped into my head.


*Things you need to know before reading this post:

1) I am extremely tired and I have no idea why. But when I am tired, sometimes my speech gets sort of random. I just left a comment that I feel was kind of random and I was about to go to sleep, but I figured this could be a fun blog if I don't make much sense.

2) I try to pride myself on leaving comments and I have been slacking these past few days. I plan to go on a spree tomorrow and do the damn thing.

Now we proceed.

I was given another award, THIS ONE:


I received it from Smart Ass Sara and apparently I didn't need to do much to get it except give her an award earlier, but I'm going to take this self-esteem boost anyways. I think maybe she just wanted to know seven things about me, as those are the rules (I feel like I just quoted the first Saw). So even though I feel like I am going to disappoint her, I will do as I am told and post the seven things and then pass it on.

*Ok, one more warning. I have done these in the past and have probably mentioned a few of before, but I have gotten some new readers since then so hopefully these are still informative.

1. The following shows receive DVR treatment on my cable box: WWE Raw, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Tosh.0, Scrubs, The Office, Community and whenever they are on: Important Things w/ Demetri Martin, The Real World/Road Rules Challenge and Fantasy Factory. I would DVR Heroes, but we watch that on Netflix.

2. If you noticed above, I put WWE Raw. I am still a wrestling fan and will probably be till the day my heart no longer beats. In fact, I will be in Atlanta on Sunday attending an event. Why do I still watch? I feel like I was born with it. It's something my Grandpa started in me and I will probably never be able to shake it.

3. I am thinking over a decision that will change where my life is headed. As of typing this, I haven't talked to anyone about it because in a self-conscious way I feel they would laugh? I'm not sure why, but for right now it's the only thing I'm keeping to my self.

4. I had quite a few girlfriends from late middle school to early high school. That is meant to be more funny than it is to brag because think about it: at the time, you feel they are the love of your life but when you look back on it you realize how much of a kid you were. Anyway, my first "real" relationship was between the end of my freshman year and end of my junior year of high school. We still "saw each other" for a while after our break up and I did just about everything with her. But it wasn't until I started my most serious relationship so far that I went all the way. That relationship altogether lasted from a few days before I graduated high school to just before my fourth year of college. I remember every detail about that night. We were coming back from a football game in Troy and it was really late. I was sleeping in the backseat of my own car I was so tired. When we got home, it just kind of happened. A couple years later she tells me that what she remembers is afterward I got up and made a sandwich. Whoops. In my defense, I had too many emotions going through my head. One of them was hunger and I needed to take care of that. So there is my only TMI tidbit, I guess I should have put a warning or something but eff it.

5. I change my mind quite a bit and I am man enough to say that I once hated something when I now like it. First example: Lil Wayne. There was a time when I COULD NOT STAND hearing anything by him or about him. The dude was just everywhere and got really annoying. Then one day, out of nowhere, I heard a song with him and Jay Z and my opinion started to turn around. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I am eagerly awaiting the release of Rebirth, his rock album (I already have the leaked copy, but they said a new one is coming out this year). Second example: Twitter. I used to say "There is NO WAY I will get on Twitter. That is just stupid." And now I am addicted. Feed my addiction HERE

6. Summer of 2009 will go down as the greatest summer ever. Which is a good sign considering it was the last one and maybe it will get better. But I went on a road trip that people are probably getting sick of hearing about, but it changed my life. I want to explore more now, as we went from Alabama to California and back and seeing a lot of cool stuff in between. Also, I got in a lot of good time with my friends and family. I went to two concerts with Jme (No Doubt w/ Paramore and The Sounds; Taking Back Sunday w/ Anberlin and Envy on the Coast) one with Hedman (Warped Tour) and one with my roommate (Incubus). I also had my first and only hangover at my sister's, which was an experience -- one I don't plan on duplicating. And I had two easy summer classes. Life was good last summer.

7. I am terrible at meeting goals I set for myself. For years, I have said that I want to learn the piano, get a tattoo and become fluent in Spanish. The first two I have talked about a lot more. I even got a piano for Christmas 08 and touched it for like a random week. I really need to get back on that...

So, there are my seven things and now I have to pass this on. And what I am going to do is give a shoutout to my best friend, the one who got me started on this awesome blogging journey, the one who joined me on those concerts, the one whose new dog is going to call me an uncle and the one who I will hopefully see this weekend: ____j @ this is me; consequently

Now, my brother-in-law just called and said "Let's do the damn thing" in reference to Heroes. So it looks like I'm not going to bed just yet...

Random lyric of the day:

How could this be done
Your such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly way
Something so beautiful
