Sundays Without the Gridiron

What is life when there isn't football to watch on Sunday? Well... this is what I do-


sleep. Sleep in a little. Catch up on the missed goodness. If you have trouble waking up in the morning, this actually helps quite a great deal. sleep calculator.


paint your nails. I have really gotten into a crazy lately. I received used Butter London's Lady Muck. I am actually a horrible nail painter but this little fancy bottle really helped a lot. The brush was really fine. And, the colors are actually kind of cool.

make a dish that you won't usually make. I made guacamole.

Watch a movie/ TV. Watched the latest version of Footloose with my favorite dancer, Julianne Hough in it. It was pretty cool. Now I want to learn how to line dance.

Run an errand. I returned a purchase today.

Clean. I have recently realized that I really like to clean stuff out every once in a while. Disposed of pile of bills that were years old. It feels good to see the whiteness on your desk or the extra space that was occupied by unnecessary junk. Hoarding is never good.

Relax. Sometimes, doing nothing for just a short bit of time is always good.

And, just for the this sunday...the Academy Awards. Meryl Streep is freaking awesome. Definitely need to check out The Descendents and Hugo. I'm glad The Artist won Best Picture. I should probably check out this unique silent film.

Oh, and (home)work. because we all need to catch up with that. But who does that?

A Panaromic View of Home

Check it.

This is beyond awesome. There is one of the coolest things I have seen thus far. I graphics of this is just beautiful. I have yet to locate where I actually live and it proving a little hard.

Now I want to go home.

Beads, Beads, Beads

Happy Mardi Gras!
No, I shall not be anyone flashing today.

I'm Back

Wow, I have been quite on a hiatus. Well, not really. A little mean bug came to visit and we didn't like each other very much. Finally, it decided to leave me alone after 2 weeks.

I would like to point out that the past two years, I have gotten into some mishaps during the playoffs. Last year when the pats lost to the Jets in the playoffs, I tripped on the sidewalk,ripped my jeans and scrapped my knee. This year, I got a sore throat on the day off. And, was sick for 2 weeks after that. Do you see a trend here? Knock on wood for next year.

Things that I have used over the course of last 2 weeks:

I actually don't know how teacups is all that relevant.

I also discovered Nyquil. Yes, I never had cough syrup before that. I have to say it works and it doesn't taste half as bad. Ok, it sounds kind of odd I'm actually talking about cough syrup like this but really I started to believe in it. I mean, when you go to sleep, it really helps you sleep. But, you wake the next morning and it all starts over again.

Theraflu. I think that stuff actually really helps. It think that helped to get me better. Just drink it like tea.

Hall's cough drops. It really soothes the throat. It actually doesn't taste bad at all. Its like eating candy but it helps to get better.

Chicken Noodle Soup. Can't really go wrong when you're just hungry and can't really eat anything else.

Pho. It really helps to have a couple of soup and some noodles. It actually taste good.

Tea. Always helps with honey. Hot liquids to keep body fluids running so that the nose and ears feel like a stuck hose.

Tissues. I went through 2 boxes of tissues and 3 rolls of toilet paper. Kleenex is better for the nose than scotties. Try it yourself.

Cream and lip balm. Just put that stuff all over the nose area or you'll look like Rudolph and feel like you skin is crumbling over.

Hot Showers and Baths. I have not wanted to take as many showers as I did over the last weeks. All that hot steam that sucks all that snot right up.

Sleep. Don't do anything but rest. It actually helps you feel better.

Before some people wants to say something about some of the stuff I just said, I'm not addicted. Achem. I'm glad this old friend of mine has left.
Stay healthy in 2012!

New Day, New Beginnings

After a horrible day yesterday, it is still extremely hard to accept the turn out yesterday night.

Recently, I have been interested in the perfect bucketlist tumblir. Its really got a nice feel to it. But, here is one that I think would be most relevant to those still drowning in the sorrow and recovering from what happened last night (like me).


Life is too short to live the same day twice. So today, we must pick ourselves up, hold our heads up high and move on because we all have an opportunity to correct those mistakes. It may seem a bit far reached but there is another chance to make it big in 2012.

As depressed as I will be to see the blasting of Giants' win on my twitter, facebook or on newspapers and SI. I think the wallowing will need to stop and hope that things will work out that way we all want it when the next season comes along. After all the odds of the Pats making the superbowl next year is 7:1 (yeah, predictions are made this early).

Thats it for now folks. Its hard but we'll all get through it.

What If

I'm going to write the score so small, you can't see it. 21-17.

What if? The million dollar question.
Don't we just wish we knew the answer to that question... Or even had a way to turn it all around

Well, on my mind right now is filled with what if questions.
What if Tom Brady's hail mary was caught?
What if Wes Welker caught those passes?
What if Gronk's ankle was healthy?
What if the Patriots won the superbowl?
What ifs...

When you're so close and you can almost taste it, thats when it hurts the most. That feeling that you wallow in, it hurts. Things wouldn't have been so painful if it ended earlier. Losing is the worst feeling ever. Its hard to stand up from it and watch your win slip away from your hands.But, that feeling when some takes something important from you or even what means to be yours, that feeling is heart wrenching and depressing. That is how I feel right now. Depressed, sad and mad all mixed into one.

Despite the most painful thing I have ever watched, the Pats were fighters. Fighters that fought till the end. You can always say that "theres always next year" but does that opportunity really come again? When will the Patriots make the superbowl again? The one thing you believe in lets you down, what are you supposed to do and say? Its not deserving to get mad at them because all they did was try that best. You could thank them for theirs efforts and theres always next year but that is not what it means to be a winner. And, deep down inside you can't help to think of things differently.

But over the course all of it, I have learned that opportunities cannot be taken for granted. Because if you let it slip away, you'll soon start with a stream of what if questions again.

All we can hope for is that one day, in the very near future, that these whats ifs would become a reality so that the Patriots regain that feeling of victory again.

Thank you, Pats. Its been an awesome ride this season. Certainly wasn't perfect. As a fan, I had doubt that we could even make it this far. Thanks for fighting through all the ups and downs this season (injuries and losses) and making it all the way to the superbowl. Thanks for making me believe in something, success, and something to look forward to every weekend, knowing possibility that we could have made it this far. Despite the most painful end, you fought till the end. And that is all we can ask for. This can only make us stronger.

Pats fan, keep walking with pride and keep your heads up because we will soon regain that feeling of victory.

To all my friends and other people I have annoyed you with my Pats obsession, I sincerely apologize for all the annoyance and frustration I have caused you and thank you for baring with my emotions game after game.

Farewell till August, Patriots.

Only Hours to Go

The wait is killing me...is it Sunday already?
