Scary and Sad

Ereck Plancher (pictured above), a University of Central Florida wide receiver, collapsed and died yesterday, one day before spring practice officially started. For all my friends who are athletes, especially the football players, please don't push yourself too hard.

Also, I just found out my childhood classmate Lyle Lancaster committed suicide over the weekend by hanging himself. I haven't cried about it and I'm not sure if I will but I just want everyone to know that I love them and when its my time to go, then it is. I hope his family finds peace. RIP.



On a slightly sad, kind of funny note, UF head coach Urban Meyer spoke about his relationship with USC running back transfer Emmanuel Moody (who looks like he could be my cousin, btw).

"I don't say hello to him," Meyer said. "I just walk by and say, 'Boy, I hope you're really good.' I don't know what else to say. ... I hope he's really, really, really good. I don't know if he is."

Um, what do you mean you don't know if he's good, Urban? I hope Urb has more tricks up his sleeve with his current roster because our recruiting wasn't all that hot this year and Lord knows we didn't have back up anything last year in any position. I put my faith in Meyer, though. He knows all us Gator lovers are "anxious" to see what happens this season and hopefully bring the championship back home to where it belongs it the Ville.

Lastly, so what if UF Basketball only made the NIT. Our baby Gators will be back and biting harder next year. Go Gators!

EPL Update

So for those of you who don't follow soccer/football, here are the latest league standings. Man U (whom my future husband, Cristiano Ronaldo) plays for is currently in the lead. It may look a little confusing but Arsenal has played 30 games and has acquired 67 points whereas Manchester United has a game to make up and which they will (hopefully) win!

Also, my future husband has scored 31 goals this season which is about 1 goal, I believe, shy of the current record for goals in a season. We have nine more games left in the season and I'm hoping he can score in every one and that we win the league championship.

"Drink, drink, wherever you may be,
We are the drunk and disorderly,
And we don't give a f*ck, and we don't give a sh*t,
We're coming home with the championship."
-Manchester United Fans Chant

Do This

I'm not rich enough to donate money, although I would if I could. BUT here is a really cool way to help end hunger all over the world. By playing this free word game on www.freerice.com, you can donate grains of rice. For every word you correctly define, this site will donate 20 grains of rice. I know it doesn't seem like a lot, but if everyone does this it will surely add up. So to all other bloggers, put this site out there and hopefully people will click on it, donate some free rice and even enhance their own knowledge.

My Old School Shit...

I constantly say I was born in the wrong decade. If I had it my way, I would have been born in the late 70s so I could have had my boom box blasting KP & Envyi's Shorty Swing My Way and Ghost Town DJ's My Boo. What do you know about that? Rock out with your cock out below to these old school joints.

Envyi, the white girl singing, (government name: Susan Hedgepeth) now works at a raquetball club in Tennessee or something. I got recent pics of her posted below the video.

KP & Envyi - then



Envyi now at age 38! Go head girl!



Ghost Town DJ's - My Boo!

Gnarls Barkley May Cause Seizures?

MTV has banned Gnarls Barkley's video for their new single Run because it can cause seizures. I didn't watch the whole thing because it kind of made me dizzy but you can watch it embedded below.



The test, called the Harding test, ensures that the strobing and light effects of a video won't trigger epileptic seizures. I think it's too much for TV myself; I couldn't even spot Justin Timberlake's cameo.

The Many Gainesville Adventures of...Baby Squirrels & Ravioli Bugg!

I think everyone knows by now that I love the Gators . [See proof to the right]. But I have taken on a very personal mission to convert as many non-football-committed people to become Gator lovers. My buddy, Christyn, is now even considering moving here for Grad school! The movement has begun!

Christyn [but I call her Ravioli Bugg because she doesn't know how to spell ravioli and she wears bug looking sunglasses].
This is my Jesus look. Do it daily!
Don't knock the Spanx hustle. I am not at my 125 mark yet so I have help to hold the extra fat.
Putting on my Spanx between the doors...what you know about that?

This Will Make You Feel Prehistoric

If you by chance used to watch the Dinosaurs show, I found this video of Baby Sinclair with his Gotta Love Me song. Fast forward to 2:16 to see him rapping.

Wino 2.0

Since Miss. Winehouse looks like she isn't coming out with anything new, I've kind of moved on. I'm stuck on this chick name Adele who is kind of amazing. Watch her performance and go add her on MySpace.

Ouch!

Arsenal striker Eduardo got fucked up over the weekend. He got tackled (slid into) by Birmingham's Martin Taylor (who?) and he is now out for the next nine months at least. That means Eddie won't be taking part in Euro 2008 and will not be able to help his team [possibly] claim various titles throughout the EPL. Arsene Wenger (Arsenal's manager) at first asked that Taylor be banned for life from football but he later retracted that statement as Eduardo himself stated he knew it was an accident. BTW, Eduardo just turned 25 yesterday. Happy fucking belated birthday!

I know this is wrong, and I really hope Eduardo makes a speedy and great recovery, but his absence could lead to ManU reclaiming top spot in the EPL table allowing us to win Champions League among other things. GO ManU!

Currently Listening To:

I have become a little southern since I have moved here (football, SEC anything) and now I feel like things need that bit of southerness in it for me to want to bump it in my car. I am loving Rick Ross' new one with T-Pain, MiMi's Touch My Body, Treal (Orlando group that sing "I'm Not Locked Down" that is getting club and radio play) and Usher's Love in the Club. I am also feeling Estelle, a London chick who is signed to John Legend's label. Her video came out on YouTube but has been taken down so I figured instead of making those who don't know wait to hear the track, I'd post it as well. Enjoy!



*PS - Rocko's Umma Do Me not included because I think everyone knows that song by now, right? If not, imeem it!

*PSS - Even though I don't like Ray J, I can't lie and say his song isn't good enough for me to shake my ass to.

This Makes Me Sick!

After denying their romance (gagging noises start now), RiRi the Crib Robber & [my future husband] Chris Brown were spotted in a pool in Jamaica. She supposedly didn't want to get her [2 inch] hair wet so Chris held her up in the water the whole time. I am so hating this trick right now.

The Number ONE Reason I Hate LSU...

I LOVE the SEC (Southeastern Conference). It has some of the best football you will ever see. Personally, I'm a Gator fan and usually I don't hate on other SEC teams because we go into bowl games and whoop ass but watch the video below to see another reason I am hating LSU even more this season. Not only did LSU cheat in TWO games this season to win (v. Florida & v. Alabama - I can give you the exact scenario of what happened if you want), but they are dickheads and classless. You let these kids eat nothing but pork fat all day, beef up to eight hundred pounds just so that you can have a great defense. I won't lie or hate on their defense because they were the best this year in the entire NCAA but I don't know if they teach these damn boys (or fans) anything but football. I think I might hit the next asshole I see supporting LSU. Watch this video with these dumb ass LSU fans. Please note that 95% of the athletes for LSU's major teams (mens & womens basketball, as well as football) are BLACK!

ADD: Arrested Development Day

I feel like Arrested Development is one of those great groups that everybody forgets about. People talk about ATCQ (A Tribe Called Quest), De La Soul, etc. but I rarely hear people wondering what happened to AD. I love them and they still perform and just recently put out Since the Last Time. You can visit them at the site and find performance dates as well as get some free downloads! Enjoy!

People Everyday



Tennessee

Chosen Choo's

Although I will admit I don't like the fact that some white lady is making money off the Asian Mr. Choo, I must say that I love the styles they come up with. If I had an extra $615 + tax & shipping, I would definitely be adding the Jimmy Choo Lance's, available at Net-a-Porter, to my closet.

A girl can dream, can't she?

I Would Kill You For

I have been praying for some time now for God to send me some money so I can buy a Herve Leger dress. They pretty much start at a cool grand but the vintage stuff is almost priceless. Idk who Joss Stone had to sleep with to get this dress, but I'd kill her for it. [Not literally of course]. I know the colors are a little bright but I'm naturally tan and they wouldn't be a problem. I don't see why Mr. Leger's orignials didn't take off in the first place because anyone can look fab in his stuff. He sold his namesake to Max Azria a couple years back and now the bandage trend has taken off. Um...is anyone willing to donate to my Leger fund?

Gnarley Dude

Just checked in at the YBF blog and found these promo pics of Gnarls Barkley. They're actually kind of cute as a couple. Lol. Happy Valentine's.

Tarnishing the Dream Team

To the left is a pic of the Patriot's coach Bill Belichick. His reputation as a coach is damn near destroyed after people started digging and found out that he's been [illegally] videotaping the defensive signals of other teams. If you didn't know, the Pats went 16-0 this year but lost in the Superbowl to the NY Giants. Earlier in the season Billy boy was fined half a million while the Pats organization was fined a quarter of a million because they were found guilty of spying. So, now that the season is over, they've made record books and all, why is it just now that NFL heads are talking about the fact that Bill has been taping since 2000?!? I hope the NFL decides to dig even deeper and uncover the truth.

Before I leave for my long day at work, I'm posting this throwback video. Toni! Tony! Tone!'s Anniversary video. Enjoy!

The Truth Is...

Why Do I Suffer 4 Love?

This is my absolute last post before I rest my head. I am supposed to be up by 7 am to go to class at 8 but I just feel like this post is more important. lol.


Anyway, I have been following Mutya Buena since the summ summ & I hope she performs here soon. She used to be part of a Spice Girls type band over in England called the Sugababes but she got knocked up and decided to leave the group. Now she's doing her own thing and I must say that I would actually pay the extra "Import" fee to buy her album if I wasn't always going broke buying clothes and shoes. Out of all my European addictions, she is quite high on the list.


The main line repeats: "I keep on trying but I don't know how it works. There's no instruction so I keep on getting hurt. Over again, over again, over and over and over again." TRUE!


Give her song "Suffer 4 Love" a listen and go over to her MySpace so you can hear her song "Bboy Baby" with Amy Winehouse.

And You Wore This Outside Because...

I'm not going to say that people can't go out on a limb and try new things. If you want to put on neon stockings under your little black dress and wear open toe pumps, go right ahead but I can't figure out what British singer Lily Allen was thinking with this floral fiasco & hair do. And she wore this to Elle Magazine's Style Awards. No word of whether or not she actually won anything but I'm hoping not.

Politics for Dummies

As you can see by the picture above, I'm planning on voting for Barack Obama. At first I was just doing it because I wanted an African-American but after reading about Hillary Clinton's views on abortion, as well as the war & the debt that has accumulated because of it versus what Barack has stated, the color and gender stuff is out the window. I strongly urge the youth to vote and take some time to get to know what the candidates stand for. Issue2008 is a website that breaks down the standpoints of the major candidates: Obama, Clinton, McCain, Huckabee and others. It became so much clearer for me with a simple click. So please take a moment to look at the links above, register to vote & go to the polls in November.

Coming to America: Real Football

Real football does not consist of helmets and tights (although I will admit the tights got me to watch). The US is the only place that does not accept that soccer is the only real football out there but that is more than likely because we suck at it. I will frequently have posts about the greatest soccer league in the world, the English Premier League (EPL), and the fit, gorgeous men who take part.

It was just recently announced that the EPL may be coming to America starting in the 2010 season. Just thinking about watching Cristiano Ronaldo sweat live is making me want to do unmentionable things. The English don't want to share and hate the idea of the EPL coming stateside but I'll keep you posted.

Buzzin All Over Me

I know, I know. I just posted my first thingy and I'm back. But I couldn't sleep well without posting something real. Anywho, I am a loyal Perez Hilton reader and awhile back he posted this song by a duo called Shwayze. Cisco Adler, who is one half of the bi-racial collabo, is only really known for dating Mischa Barton (of the O.C.) but he is also the son of a "legendary" producer by the name of Lou. Um who? So yeah, the song is called "Buzzin" and its kinda my favorite track right now. Listen below and check out their MySpace for more of their tunes.

Born-Again Virgin

So I've written and erased a starting line for this like eleven times already and I'm getting antsy to post. I used to be this emotional MySpace blogger but then I realized that I enjoy superficial shit a lot more than my heartbreaks. Stuff I'll Skip Class For is my blogging rebirth and also a personal journey. I hope that the one or two of you readers out there come here and find something you like, take it with you and pass it on.











Peace Love & Happiness.
