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?
