Resolution #1

Scratched! I broke it yesterday. Oh well. I drank two cups of coffee in one day. It was freezing and tea was just not cutting it for me. I had my second cup of coffee well after 2:00 PM. I'm having my third cup of coffee as I'm typing right now. And I'll probably do a repeat of yesterday by having my late afternoon coffee session. Maybe this whole resolution thing should be about how long it takes for me to break. The last resolution left is the one I should stick with until the end of the year - at least.

New York, New York

Yesterday, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Minnesota Vikings - YAY! 26-14 Props go out to Samuels for that interception. Akers, also for the field goals. My favorite rookie Jackson for the other TD. Man, he's a quick youngin. And of course, Mr. Westbrook who didn't fail me. Minnesota was determined to not let run the ball. I was worried because yeah, they covered you well during the 1st half. It took you a while but you did it. Perfect short toss by McNabb led him to his TD of the night. Game Over Vikings! Next stop is New York! Gotta love the Playoffs! BTW - Who is this hotness of a dude below? Look what my eyes spotted? I only know of his name: Trevor Laws. Yummy, right? I'm going to keep a look out on him next week. Hehe!

The 2nd Letter of the Alphabet

Let's back track a bit shall we? On October 15th of last year, I joined match.com for the second time around in hope of finding a cool dude. First time was more of a social experiment. It was all just for fun and curiosity. I was able to experience how it felt to be on a disaster date numerous times. (For example, I met a dude at a bar on Polk Street. He yelled at me when the bar dude took his unfinished drink away while he was in the bathroom. His drink looked done to me and in my defense, he didn't tell me!) Anyway, I was convinced after watching "The Secret" to give it another try. So here was my basic profile:

About Me: I don't really ask for much, but maybe it's time for me to deserve something good in life and if that happens to be a good genuine man, then I'm all for it! Friendship is everything. In every relationship, that's the starting point. Though, it's really tough finding true friends.What I'm looking for - - -Everyone has their way of finding their perfect match. For me, I'm just looking for someone that makes you feel comfortable right from the get go. From all night conversations to saying nothing while lying on the couch together. Someone that doesn't care much about appearance or materialistic things. It's all about great company. Just a little about me: I'm usually quiet and reserved in the beginning, but once I get comfortable I get more interesting. I would say my personality separates me from the rest. I'm not a girlie girl nor a tomboy. I'm a free spirited messy klutz who cusses like there's no end (hope you don't mind). I'm also a simple, easygoing, gullible person who can be sarcastic at times.There are times where I can be shockingly intelligent and other times I act like a stoner (i said act like NOT am). One minute I'll be goofy with a wacky ass imagination. Now who doesn't like variety? I live a non-extravagant life and I enjoy the simplest things. I'm a bit of a oddball always full of curiosity. I hate being old-fashioned and conventional. I'm a horrible liar so don't worry about trust when it comes to me.

The following day, to my surprise, I get an instant message from a dude I like to call, letter B. About three weeks later, we had our first date. It was really kick it. I immediately felt comfortable around him. Not physically comfortable, but more like the feeling that I've known him longer than the actual 3 hours we spent at BJ's. His presence and company made me feel at ease. Totally the opposite feeling any normal person would feel on a first semi-blind date. Initial meetings are usually awkward. Not in this case.

Before my first meeting with letter B, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot. He was running a bit late, which is one of my pet peeves especially when it cuts time away from eating. No one likes to see me food deprived. Anyway, I decided to let this one pass since it was a rainy day. Last thing I'd want to hear is him getting into an accident due to rushing. I remember I was on the phone with my girlfriend, Twinks. She was totally coaching me on what to say, how to act, etc. as if I've never been out with a dude. She was all, "If he compliments you, just smile and say thank you." Apparently, I have a habit of crushing the male ego. Me? Never! Muahahahaha! Nah - but on a serious note...I guess it's partly true. Now we are back to the present (a couple months later). I have not yet found anything wrong with letter B. Is this a good sign? Give me another couple months and I'll let you know. OK, OK - jokes aside. letter B is a cool dude. We seem to click so far. He seems really genuine and patient. He understands my situation and apparently, it's fine with him. All and all, I'm having a good time and right now that's all that matters.

Resolution?

As far as I know, I have none that are like super extraordinary:

1. Limit my coffee intake to once a week
2. Run at least 7 miles each week
3. Utilize my bedroom sofa chair and ottoman for my buttox not my clothes.
4. Eat at least 1 fruit every day
5. Reconcile my Quicken account every week

Shouldn't be hard, I suppose.
