TRAMBLINGS...
"Its been awhile...
I was going to include the rest of the STAIND lyrics but that's the only line that works from the song. Just sing it over and over and over again in your head.
Well, I got some big news, but I had to wait to tell my family - in person - before I could share with you all. The Crown Prince and I GOT ENGAGED!!! over Easter Weekend. Whoo hoooo (insert cheerleader yell here). Of course, this means he gives up his Black Belt Ninja status but, apparently, he's more than cool with it all. Nice bit of sweet news.
The Queen Mother (C.P.'s Mom) was in Europe until a couple days ago and I didn't want her to log on line and get the news that way. Anyway, she's thrilled, I'm thrilled, we're all thrilled. And, if we follow the same course of action as our courtship, the wedding should be in about ten years. It won't be fancy, but it'll be a whole lotta fun. I'll keep you posted.
In other news, I watched the final three episodes of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS back to back. Man, is that show just perfection to me. Love the big sweeping moments, love the small stuff. Coach and Mrs. Coach hugging one another with a quick cut to show that she's standing barefoot on top of his feet. Nice. And how rare and wonderful is it to show a 20-some-odd-year couple who still love each- with passion, share laughs together, fight like grown-ups, and still think that being together is the smartest thing that either of them ever did. I also appreciate the fact that the show doesn't shy away from the characters faith nor does it condescend about the way they express themselves through religion. I could go on and on but I am just so glad to hear that NBC has ordered six additional episodes. I really hope the show gets a full-order for a second season.
The Panther Slogan, "Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose" brought tears to my eyes every time they said it but no more than during Coach Taylor's final halftime speech. The writing staff on that show should be so damn proud of themselves. MAUREEN RYAN transcribed the speech in it's entirety from a press screener. You can read it HERE or, even better, you can WATCH IT.
And, if you're lazy, here's my favorite part..."When you give everything that you've got, and then you realize you gave a little bit more that you didn't even know you had, that you selflessly sacrificed for the guy next to you, we call that full hearts."
Until next time...
