KY Jelly

The University of Kentucky is as useful as foreplay to streetwalking hooker.

23 losses to Tenn-e-ssee...23 losses to Vols...a-nother year, a-nother tear...Ken-tucky sucks major balls!!

The win today was an obvious possibility with endless opportunities to do so, but another option could have been to employ something such as...ThePlay

Thanks for nothing Kentucky...now go do your homework.

Spring Cleaning in the Fall

Since I decided not to post yesterday, I would like to go ahead and let everyone to know how thankful I am for everyone and everything in my life...I really could not have asked for better family and friends, whom I love, or a better lifestyle that I live. And in today's news:

We recently completed an addition to our house that includes a new bedroom for me and my sister. It's gorgeous, I really can not even express to you how in love I am with it. In tradition with the log home-esque style...it has hardwood floors that look like rich mahogany, light wood walls, and wood doors...including furniture made of...you guessed it...wood. Some people might say, "Now that's a lot of wood"...and to them I would say that's what she said. Irregardless (I know it's not a real word, but I like to use it anyway - get over it), back to my story.

I had been in my previous room for about 11 years, so with the transition of stuff to my new room, there was a bunch of crap that needed to be rummaged through since I don't use a lot of stuff from when I was 10. I found some real gems and wanted to share them with you:

• a letter I wrote to my cousins from when I was 10-years-old

before I write an actual excerpt...let me set it up...my cousins had just moved to Honduras with their family for missionary work, so they were learning Spanish...and this is what I wrote in response to learning this information:

"Mom said you would write to us in Spanish don't write real hard questions because I'm still learning. Don't write real easy ones either, until later on in the year write pretty good ones. Well, I'm gonna go now. Adios."........wow

• a sketchbook filled with various outfits I had designed when I wanted to go into fashion...let's just say, they were gOOORge (I'll probly only say this once...I like to shorten words...a lot). They could pretty much be on the catwalks of any top designer...Louis Vuitton, Oscar de la Renta, Marc Jacobs, etc.
  
• Love you like a Sister: 30 cool rules for making & being a better best friend...an informative book that will probly be my next read

What do these 3 things mean?...I've decided my letter-writing skills were words of pure poetry and I'm going to start doing it more often - forget phone calls, texts, emails, and the sort...everyone I know will be receiving a hand-written letter from 10-year-old me. I also know what I was meant to do in life and am going back to my roots (see ya'll during Fashion week). And w/my new reading I will gain the resources to be a better friend, complete with friendship bracelets and knowing how to keep a secret.

But it's a American Gangsta right here in ya face

I just went to a somewhat late-night viewing of American Gangster, late-night because it didn't let out until 12:30 am, but whatevs. After seeing the preview I was pretty excited about what looked like an amazing movie...to me - anything w/Denzel Washington is gonna be good b/c he is a talented actor that rarely makes poor film choices. Tonight was no exception...although it was different from what I expected. I expected The Godfather, which I truly love, with a mix of Scarface, another classic...but what I got was not so much Godfather and a more respectable version of Scarface.

Overall...I liked it, but for me...I don't know if it's going to be the next classic in line with the aforementioned films, but Denzel might win another Oscar. 2morrow is Thanksgiving so I must now go and get my beauty rest. I leave you with the trailer for American Gangster...*bows out*

GangstasDon'tDance

It's time for...OPRAH'S FAVORITE THINGS!!!

Once a year (fall's version is the main one, which is why I refer to it as once a year, since it's the most important), something so grandeur comes along that it fills me with such emotion that I'm pulled in several directions and don't know how to react. Should I yippee with glee? Should I cry while waving my hands hands in front of my face like a pageant queen who "can't believe she won"? Nah...I choose to get so offensively angry b/c all of these ladies are about to be simply handed some of the most exquisite items that Oprah Winfrey deems gift-worthy while acting like total buffoon idiots (even though I totally would too...besides the point).

If you haven't gathered yet...today was Oprah's Favorite Things!

I've devised a foolproof (even though obv not since the producers have developed their own plan) plan:

1. Become best friends w/Oprah Winfrey

• or...her best friend...JOOOHN Tra-VOLTAAA!
  

1. Have above mentioned Oprah Winfrey invite me to her Favorite Things Show
2. Bring boyfriend/husband with me so that I can have 2 of everything since, of course, he will want none of what is given
3. Go home, use all of my gifts, and die happy

Sidenote: I'm so GD sick of these car commercials that sing Christmas songs with the word "duh"!! Just stop it already, it's not even clever!

**Trying to come up w/a sign-off...have any ideas, let me know :)

Monday = Funday!...*eye roll*

I would like to start off my blog by specifying that before my friend Kimber awakened it...I never realized I had a desire to blog. Up until right now, I wasn't even thinking about blogging...and yet...here I am. SO...here we go:

A few things that I feel you should know:

• I like to use ellipses...a lot

• I really enjoy Diet Coke...nothing hits the spot quite like a properly fridged Diet Coke

• I am always on a quest to perfect my hair...whether it be looking at magazine articles for different styles, or trying different products that I really don't need to buy

• I would secretly (not so secret anymore) like to be a wildlife/plain-old photographer, just traveling, going to state parks, beaches, small towns across the country taking photos

• My name is Mindy and I'm a Facebook-aholic

• I have weird quirks about eating food...I eat certain foods in specific ways...example: for pop-tarts, i eat the crust firsts and save the middle (w/the jelly or whatever)...then I slide the middle apart and eat each side...that's just what I do

• I am in a passionate love affair with the fall and winter...but more so the fall cause it's a little prettier (don't tell winter)

• One of the careers I might be considering is a sex therapist...I find the topic and ppl needing help to be fAAAscinating

• I love flip-flops.

Sidenote: My friend Melissa doesn't think I'm gonna keep this up, she gave me 2 months...the countdown begins
