OMG!! is this ocho cinco?!

at work today i get on facebook and am directed to the NFL star ocho cinco's page to see that he has said, "I feel like inviting people over to the house, whooping they a** n a game of choice (360 or PS3) n sending them home question their skills!" he's a popular guy, so of course he generated several hundred responses in just over an hour. that wasn't the surprising thing. the surprising thing was how stupid people actually are. several people posted their gamertags, which i guess isn't bad. what is bad, is when you air out your phone number on a huge page like that for all of FB to see. there's no way i'm not going to mess with these people!
So, i texted all these people as if i was ocho cinco and told them we gotta play some video games today. 2 were the quick ones and realized how wrong they were in there thinking, and after only a few texts came to terms with it and knew ocho cinco wasn't inviting them over. my favorite person was Dimepiece Merchant. Yeah, dimepiece. i knew this was going to be good. She's so in love with ocho (i quickly found out) that no matter how good this seemed to be, she knew ocho was going to invite her over. she told me she wanted to play so bad, but was too far away (from who knows what or where).  i looked up her phone's area code (fresno), and told her i'd be flying in to fresno today for an action figure signing at the wal-mart just off king's canyon rd. oh boy did this get her excited! she invited me over to play video games, and i just told her she could meet me at the marriott downtown and we'd be able to play on their big screens in the grande ballroom. (seriously??) she loved it. asked when my flight got in and where i'd be. hahahahaha oh my freak, i forgot about the best part. she said she'd come to wal-mart, but wanted to know if she should bring her bodyguard. as if she's famous and important enough for a bodyguard.
the funny thing is, throughout this whole conversation i said, "you really think ocho cinco would just text someone cuz they put their number on facebook?" 3 times! still didn't catch on. she asked if wal-mart knew i was coming to do the signing today. um, really? no, ocho cinco is just going to surprise them and stop in and do them a favor like that. nope. he won't. after a couple very forward texts from her i finally said it again, you really think this is ocho cinco? i'm not ocho cinco, he wouldn't text you just cuz you put up your number. i didn't think she could get any dumber, but she did. she then said she wanted to work for me. thinking i worked for facebook. what, because i could see what she posted (along with everyone else) she thought i worked for facebook?!
please tell me the rest of the world isn't this dumb! i was laughing very hard for a long time. thank you Dimepiece for giving me a great laugh today. i love your all caps texts, and your misspelled everything! you made my MLK Day great.

feelin' it

going to the Jazz/Knicks game this past week reminded me of something. how much i love the national anthem. any sporting event i go to and i hear it being sung, i immediately get goose skin. for some reason this song strikes a tender chord in me stronger than any other song, ever. i get it every time. more than once it's brought a tear to my eye. Every time i hear it i thank God i live in such a great place.

how on earth can anyone listen to this and not feel patriotic and amazing?

drooling

after 2 months of drooling over the all gold Nixon 51-30, i finally sprang the $450 and was in love with the 14k piece wrapped around my wrist. that watch gets several comments every single day. The only other thing that would make my wrist happier is the Ceramic 51-30. How much longer do i have to drool over this $2,600 beauty before it's making my wrist complete?

captivating

I saw this video on my friend Mark's facebook wall and couldn't stop thinking about how awesomely cool polar bears are. how are they so smart? who tells them how to hunt? how do they know their noses are black, so they cover them when waiting/hiding for their prey? when i'm so consumed with something i can't stop thinking about it, i'd say it's captivating. right?
