So I will admit, I know nothing about football, or sports really for that matter. I just know I am a New York sports fan. I root for the mets cause I was born in Queens in '86 the year the mets won the world series. I watched WNBA for the longest time since I had met Rebbecca Lobo when I was 9 years old, and I only watch football when accompanied by a drink, and a few friends. My fondest memory of football is Rutgers Vs. Louisville. I was at a house right off of Easton Ave and College Ave in New Brunswick...i was pretty much in the center of the celebrating.
Oh, and I appreciate Micheal Vick being such a great football player but when they Cheer him in and chant for him, I constantly think of the poor dogs who he use to fight...and I do chuckle when he cries cause he can't own a dog...I guess that's his karma.
I am more a Giants fan than JETS, but I have always been the underdog, and I route for the underdog. I go with the team, or group whose chances are slim, and when they do well I get very excited.
So when I heard the jets made it to the playoffs and not giants i was a little sad. But when the jets beat the colts last night, I was pretty excited. NY had a chance to rock it, like it always does. And my face book staus was: "Hey Jets doubters...you can go cry in the corner with your tails between your butt ♥ J-E-T-S!!!!!"
That's my post for today, tomorrow i will be posting about a great book I recently read "Dirty, Sexy Politics" by John McCain's daughter Meaghan McCain. It is an awesome book for any confused young voter to read, and it showed me a lot about John McCain, and not just the 2008 campaign that went down in flames thanks to You-Betcha-Sarah, but what the Bush administration did to him in 2000 when he was running in the primaries against the man who ruined our country.
Speaking of football, i'll leave you with my favorite Kenny Chesney song EVER and a song I dedicated to my cousins highschool football team when they won the NJ state champs for his division. I dedicated it to the team on my country radio show the next day!

Happy 76th to the King
Today would have been Elvis Presley's 76th birthday.
I went to a Elvis/Sinatra cover band show and it was a great, great time! Spent time with my mom, dad and knights of columbus.
The show was a great time, and all the hits were sang by Elvis!
He had my table up and dancing and causing quite a commotion from the music.
Elvis did this song tonight and I was up and dancing like a dancing fool!
*I remember hearing this song in Looking Whos Talking 2, and loving when John Travolta did the song :) hearing it tonight brought me back to when that movie and Kindergarten Cop were my favorite movies...when I was 7 or 8 years old. I remember one snow storm day I watched those movies all day long :)

New Year...Heyy oh!
So I was thinking of ways to create an audio portfolio type page for me, so I can show potential job's what I can do, while I'm still in school. And i stumbled upon my Blogger that I started last year. The one where I said I would start to blog my feelings about pop-culture etc etc.
I'll leave you with a song I'm in love with right now. "Felt Good On My Lips" by Mr. Tim McGraw (He's always a good music choice) It's currently #1 on the country billboard charts and he's currently starring in "Country Strong" with Leighton Meester and of course Gwyneth Paltrow. The director came up with the idea for the movie when she was reading magazines about Britney Spears and her downward spiral she was having 4 years ago. She wrote up a script, made her way to Nashville and wah-la! A masterpiece was created.
Well I became so busy this past year with school, radio station at school and then this summer my internship i seemed to neglect it. So here we are 2011, and I want to really write about what I love: Celebs and the stupid things they do, ooh and music....what I'm loving, what I'm hating and what I think you should just completely ignore when iTunes store pops up.
I'll give you a little note on my music...I'm a BIG country music, classic rock fan. I always say my dream job would be doing a country show (and getting paid for it) with a side of Tom Petty. OMG I love Tom Petty, and a lot. I recently saw him this summer and didn't sit at all, well maybe for one or two songs off the new album not that I didn't dig them they weren't your typical sing at the top of your lungs, wave your cell phone from side to side song. Probably the best concert I've seen in a while and we were pretty damn close to the stage: I did sign up for his fan-club just to get the tickets a week in advance and threw out about 150 per ticket...which is really not THAT bad considering it was MSG and Lady Gaga tickets where we sat probably can go from 100-500 if not more.
I'm also a sucker for those damn Glee kids. I watch an episode and can't get the song out of my head they are so darn talented. I remember seeing Leah Michele in Spring Awakening 3 years ago and just getting goosebumps from her raw talent. I knew the first minute she sang "Mama Who Bore Me" as she changed on stage she was something to remember and she'd be in pop culture in a big way...if I had put my money down on that I'd have some more.
