Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a great MLK weekend and were able to give back to your community in some way. I had a phenomenal weekend, even though each day was busier than the previous one.
If you don’t know, I’ve started to get into enjoying/watching/learning about the sport of football. It started about 5 years ago. I thought watching the Jaguars games together would be a great way for Southern Dad and I to bond. (Growing up, my sport was basketball, and bad-a$$ Latrell Sprewell was my man.) Even though he gave me the side eye at first, once he saw I was serious, he actually started answering my questions and teaching me a little bit. (Yes, I know this story has absolutely nothing to do with my title, but just stay with me; I’m giving you backstory.) So, this love for the Jaguars grew into a love of football. Though the Jaguars will always be my team, I enjoy watching good match-ups, like the play-offs. Last week during the divisional round, I was able to get a good look at Mark Sanchez, quarterback for the New York Jets. Noticing he was a little cutie, I looked him up on Wikipedia to check out his story. I shared with my soror @ISayWord, who is my football watching buddy, that he was 24, originally from California, single (the most important thing on the list), and enjoys going to plays on Broadway. I was further impressed when I found out he gives back to his Mexican community by volunteering and speaking and working with kids. It was after this research that I decided Mark and I will be married. We can go to Broadway plays together, volunteer, and just enjoy life.
Now, I have to admit I wasn’t going for the Jets last week when they were playing the Colts. I mean, HELLO! They were playing the Colts. But to everyone’s surprise, the Jets pulled out a win! And they surprised everyone again on Sunday by beating the Patriots. I guess I should stop underestimating them, especially since I’m going to be Mrs. Mark Sanchez someday. I told my mother last night about the marriage and that she was going to have Blaxican grandbabies, which was alright with her. She asked if that meant I was going to be moving to New York, to which I replied, “Probably so.”
So, if you have any tips or suggestions on how I can meet Mark, I’m all ears. I don’t want to get arrested, so nothing illegal folks. Until next time, I’m just a Southern girl…in the city!
P.S. I hope you all realize this is a little tongue-in-cheek/satirical. But if I EVER have the chance to meet Mark Sanchez, I’m on it!
SMH…
Um, yeah, sorry Sis, I’m with Jabari.
And you two are supposed to be my friends…but ya’ll will want front row seats at our wedding!!!
