I'm the type that can relate to everyone and relate to no one at the same time. I also have totally unrelated interests, so chances are, you're bound to like some of the things I post on here. I love LOST, talking about sports, lots of sports, house music, intellectual conversations, hilarious people, dancing, the misunderstood twisted and complex types, Jimmy Page, boots, ranting about the music industry, Buddhism, celebrity gossip blogs, new technology, Johnny Depp, gypsy/bohemian fashion, buying new mascara, vintage finds, New York City, and filipino breakfast.

In a nutshell, I'm the girliest, nerdy tomboy you'll ever meet.

First off — THE PACKERS WIN! THE PACKERS WIN! I can honestly say that my eyes got a little bit teary-eyed yesterday. Sad, I know.

When the Giants won the WS, I was happy, but only cause everyone else was happy. And then I fully admitted that I can’t wait til my REAL team wins a championship because I’m pretty sure I’ll cry. And sure enough, I held up my end of the bargain. What an unbelievable moment for Aaron Rodgers, having been through everything he has to finally being able to call himself a champion.

And of course, I was the happiest for Charles Woodson. I cannont express enough how big of a fan I’ve ALWAYS been of C-Wood. When he became a free agent, and left the Raiders, I was pretty damn happy that he ended up with the Packers. How heartbreaking was it to watch him on the sidelines wincing in pain in the 2nd half though??? Just made the win that much more special.

With that said, best super bowl commercial?

Too effin’ cute.

Congrats to my 2nd favorite football team, The Green Bay Packers, for making the Superbowl this year! Let me point out that this is not a case of me jumping the bandwagon (as I did with the San Francisco Giants. But to be completely fair to me, I fully admitted that I jumped that bandwagon. I’m an A’s fan at heart, but I was desperate to know how it felt to cheer for a championship team. And I wanted to attend a championship parade. So I was a Giants fan for about a month — not anymore. Or maybe for like, another day, if they do some sort of crazy parade opening day or something…but that’s it!)

To prove that this is not merely me jumping on the Packers hype, check out this post I did during last year’s playoffs where I admit my Green Bay Packer fandom. (I say 10 years I’ve been a fan in that post, but just give it a +/- of 3 years or so).

I’ve been a fan of the Packers since ‘96-‘97, the last time they won the Superbowl. Don’t really know what it was, but I just became drawn to the crazy cheeseheads and their colorful football tradition. And for whatever reason, I’ve been a fan of them since then. They’ve become my NFC team, and I can’t wait to see them kick ass in the big game.

Plus, I’d love to see C-Wood, one of my favorite ex-Raiders, win one because he deserves it. And I’d love to see Aaron Rodgers stick it to the old man, win a championship, and solidify his position as leader of the NEW Packer dynasty.

Brett Favre who? Yeah, I forgot about him, too.

I don’t wanna get carried away because it doesn’t build houses, by itself. It doesn’t bring Fortune 500 companies, by itself, but it affords the citzenry of New Orleans a sense of comfort. And the ability to say to anyone else ‘Look, if we can win this thing, then nothing is beyond our reach.’ So I think in a lot of ways, it renews purpose and it renews optimism.

Tony Kornheiser on PTI, on what being Superbowl Champions means for the city of New Orleans

I couldn’t agree more. After Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans needed a morale boost, and the Saints have helped acheive that. There’s still much to be fixed and rebuilt in this city, and their championship shouldn’t overshadow that fact. But at the very least, the city finally has something to be happy about. Congratulations, Saints!
