I Keep Forgettin'
Happy Black History Month!
I think for February I am going to use the title of songs for my posts. The first is I Keep Forgettin' by Michael McDonald from his 1983 album titled If That's What It Takes. You may recognized the melody because it was used in Warren G's hit song Regulate from the 1994 album Regulate the G-Funk Era. For some reason I started humming that melody at work, and I thought back to McDonald's original. I ended up buying the song on iTunes. I usually don't like male singers, but I find the tone of Michael McDonald's really nice.
It has been a while since I have last posted here. Luckily nothing substantial has happened since my last post. I have been up to the usual: life, work, tennis, boyfriend ... repeat. The Greek and have been enjoying our time together but he has made it his mission to change me. We wants me to become more vocal in terms of how I feel, with an emphasis on how I feel about him. I have never been one of those people who come up with petname for the people I date. The closest I came to a term of endearment was mispronouncing the person name, but that was more like an inside joke. Baby, honey, babe and similar names don't seem to roll off my tongue that easy. I will give it a couple of more months before I come up with a clever name.
What day should be your anniversary? Is it the first day your met or the first day you proclaim yourself a couple? Just some the Greek and I are debating.
Tennis stuff ...
I had tennis this past Tuesday and I luckily won my match 6-0, 7-5. My opponent just got back from vacation in Mexico and was feeling the after effects of the free alcohol in his all inclusive resort. I felt bad that I killed him the first set so I kind of back off and decided to try some different shots. Before I knew it I was down 4 sets to 0 and I didn't want to lose. I ended up winning the 7 of the 8 games to win the set. I decided to get my racquets restrung because the tension of my racquets are too loose. They were around 58-60 lbs/sq. in. and I decided to boost them up to 65 lbs/sq. in. This will allow me to use a bit more of my power with the ball without the ball (way) out. The lower tension give you more spring but you lose accuracy. I will test this out because I get my racquets restrung for the Austin tournament in March. I got my hotel booked and my entry fee paid. Michael is my doubles partner, which the Greek isn't to happy about.
Health stuff ...
I am in need of a physical checkup because I think I have picked up an allergy or two. I made an appointment yesterday but the closest date I could get is 2/20/06. That is just too far away, but I will keep the appointment because I need to do some other blood work done to test for cholesterol and diabetes. I think I need a couple of boost shots as well. I think my last tetanus show was before college in 1997. I think I am overdue for a new shot. But knowing my luck I will step on a rusty nail before then.
Fun stuff ...
If you never seen the 2001 MTV's ICON show it was a show dedicated to Janet Jackson. They had current artist (at the time) perform of her greatest hits. There was a section where Mya, Pink, and Usher perform some of her famous dance routines. This clip is a parody of that show for Whitney Houston. I love the Pink's dance tribute because Whitney isn't known for her dancing. Crack, yes. Dancing, no. Enjoy!
Other stuff ...
Last week I helped my sister get the wireless devices I bought for her up and running. It took 3 hours but everything is running fine. My niece is now off the AOL dial-up connection and now on broadband. I was thinking about filtering her IP address from all the bad stuff, but that is just be being over protective. I think I will have to give her a lecture on Internet Safety because he likes to chat on AOL. After watching this special on Dateline, it is a bit scary to know that all these perverted people like to pray on children. I think I will send her a copy of the tape and have my sister watch it with her. It is kind of mature viewing, so I will have my sister watch it and relay the message to my niece.
Have you hugged a black person today? If not, do so. Also, bring some fried chicken and watermelon because according to the stereotype .. that is what we like to eat.
