Back in tha Day

Discoveries:

Today I discovered that every situation in life can be turned into a TOP FIVE. Restaurants, music, vacation locales, hotels, careers, colleges, cities, practically anything. You name it, you can TOP FIVE it. The formula for calculating a TOP FIVE is simple; choose the first things that come to mind. If someone asks you to name your TOP FIVE vacation destinations, go ahead, spew em’ out just as fast as they pop into your cranium. Don’t waste a second.

Let’s practice - -Name your TOP FIVE MOVIES OF TIME.

1.___________,  2.___________,  3.___________,  4.___________,  5.___________,  

High Points:

Today I made the most amazing pasta dish using only olive oil, Rotini and fresh vegetables. Usually I drown my concoctions in marinara or alfredo but for the last few weeks I have grown exceedingly efficient at eating healthier. I have eliminated pork, sugar, regular salt and fried foods. It was tough at first but after a few weeks, I started to lose weight and feel healthier. That was all the motivation I needed. I started looking up recipes and finding alternatives for snacking. Back to my point, I tried a Rachel Ray recipe that left me speechless! I was all but starving when the timer went off signaling the commencement of my feast.  Olive oil has an iconic flavor that seems to gel together flavors and leave a fresh unsullied aftertaste that is complimented best with a half flight of chilled wine. Yummy.

Themes for the Day

You can eat to live or live to eat

Instead of ordering out, let’s cook in

I am feeling like Italian food tonight

Can I like,,,use Olive Oil in ,,,like,,, everything now?

 
Low Points:

I sat on my couch today and watched two chick flicks,,,, in a row ,,,,all by myself. Usually Pretty Woman and The Notebook are reserved for moments when a man cuddles up to the woman he loves and wants to put on that he’s gentle and sensitive. Most men go into the situation knowing that there’s a chance that he could lose a handful of man points by watching those types of films. Most men, if left alone with a remote, would flip over to Sportscenter with the quickness to watch highlights instead. But today I didn’t watch Sportscenter; I watched Pretty Woman and The Notebook. Wow, how many points did I lose from that. Who cares? Those were two damn good films! So what if I get a little choked up by the power of love. It’s an amazing thing. Now, there, I said it. Now where is my Ghost DVD?

DAILY INSANITY:
Three Words: New Urban Slang

Someone out there, please help me out. What gives with all of this new urban slang? Phrases like: Get it In, Leggo and Ole’ Do It have left me perplexed. Where did phrases like: That’s bussin, You’re Fresh To Def and Fa Sho go?
