Who saw it coming? Super Bowl XLIV.  I was expecting a neck and neck tug-of-war ordeal with a photo, slow-mo finish.  That was definitely not the case last night.  It was a struggle for all of about a quarter.  The second quarter-and on Saints, were not the team that was playing the first quarter.  With that, and gallant coaching decisions, the Saints essentially cruised to victory.  The only time I was, “on the edge of my seat,” was during that dog pile that took place after the onside kick that started the second half.

Another exciting moment was that unbelievable catch-and-reach for the 2-pt. conversion by Lance Moore, and don’t forget the interception + 74 yd. return by Tracy Porter.

Both quarterbacks were at least satisfactory (though one of them had one more interception than the other). Peyton Manning had a mediocre 88.5 passer rating, while Drew Brees registered a zeroed-in 114.5.

Other notable events:

-Drew Brees tied the record for most completions in a Super Bowl (32 - Tom Brady) and received MVP honors.

-Stover missed a 51 yd. field goal that would have stopped Saint momentum

-Garcon, Collie, Addai, Wayne (etc.) missing some important catches - check out the replays if you didn’t get to see it Sunday

-And most importantly…..Kim Kardashian kissed Reggie Bush after the game - in front of the world

Next year I’m betting Cowboys vs. Chargers……we’ll see.

Once again, the Grammys have come and gone, teeming with drama, salacious clothing, and overrated/overplayed music.  I will admit, however; that I have fallen into the guilty pleasure that is Lady Gaga, but most of the rest of that muck will be passed up by myself any given day.  Having said that, what was my enchanting Lady Gaga wearing?

Not exactly provocative (like the Pink performance).

The music:  as I said, overrated and overplayed, in my opinion.  Among winners were: Beyonce, Kings of Leon, Black Eyed Peas,  and Taylor Swift.  If you turn on  your local top-40/pop type station, you will undoubtedly hear one, some, or all of these artists within the first 4 songs.

And on we go, to… the drama.

-Beyonce introduced Tina Turner as “The Queen” and that upset Aretha Franklin

-Michael Jackson’s family wasn’t invited

-All the performances were inspired by classic musicals

-Taylor Swift dropped one of her Grammys backstage

-Drake, Eminem, Lil Wayne’s “Forever” performance was bleeped so much that TV viewers that there were technical difficulties

-Was T-Pain drunk?

There you go guys.  A recap of the Grammys.  Oscars are next, let’s see what will happen then.

We have a huge selection of Chinese Laundry heels and boots right now.  If you don’t at least take a look, you are passing up a great deal.  These shoes are definitely comparable to Charles David, Cole Haan, Steve Madden, and similar brands, but you don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on them.  Being in style and paying an affordable price?  Sounds like a deal.  Everyone has said this at one point in time, in reference to a brand:  ”Who’s going to know?”  Exactly.  Who will know these are Chinese Laundry brand and not Kenneth Cole or Gucci or whoever.  If I had to describe them in three words, it would be these: elegant, stylish, and sexy. Definitely take a peek at these on www.designerathletic.com.

First off, congratulations New Orleans, on a deserved win.  Minnesota, you had a great game, for the most part. The thing I don’t understand is how the blame seems to be entirely on Brett Favre’s shoulders.  Why is that?  No game is ever determined by one play/event.  Every event leading up to the final score plays a part in the outcome.  Brett threw an interception at a crucial point in the game, I get that, but if he had thrown a completion that lead to a touchdown, that one play would not have won the game, either.  The missed tackles contributed to a loss, poor blocks contributed to a loss, 6 fumbles contributed to a loss (including Adrian Petersen’s in the red zone), allowing a 60 yard kick return in the 3rd quarter contributed to a loss, secondary coverage that was non-existent on some plays contributed to a loss… We all understand the point right?  If any of those things would have happened at the time Favre’s interception happened, the papers and critics would all be blaming that player, instead.  Anyway, I bet we will see Favre for at least one more year now, and good luck to NO and IND.

We did inventory recently, and it was my first time seeing several of our items.  I will post links to them daily with promotions for that day, and that day only. The more people that respond, comment, etc., the more likely I will be able to do more things like this in the future.  Today, though, I have CUTE bags, from Hurley.  These are for the ladies, or for the gentlemen to buy for the ladies.  Check them out.  Vibrant colors, attractive designs, definitely in style.  There are clutch/check books, purses, and totes.  If you check out Hurley’s website, you will see that their bags are almost triple what we have them for. OH…I did say “promotion,” huh?  Enter promotional code 5OFFHURLEY when purchasing one (or more), to receive just that: $5 off!  Don’t forget, the more people that use the code, the more I can do this in the future.  Enjoy!

Was Googling the Nexus the other day and found this article.  Thought it was interesting.

Today’s topic:  Music.  CD releases.  In my opinion, January is looking like a musical drought.  The biggest names coming out are Omarion (who again has used an “O” to replace a word’s syllable for the album title), Ringo Starr (of Beatles’ fame), and Ke$ha, who is responsible for that infamous “Tik Tok,” (”Don’t stop, make it pop, DJ blow my speakers up. Tonight, I’ma fight, til we see the sunlight…etc.) that so easily gets stuck in my head.  Others include: Lady Antebellum, Vampire Weekend, OK Go (remember the treadmills?), and Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee… My boys O.A.R. are the only real ray of hope (Jan. 12).

What do you think?

Anyone who runs (marathons, outdoors, even just-for-fun) has more than likely heard of Runner’s World - a popular magazine and website for just that: the world of runners.  It includes topics like “Races and Places,” “Nutrition and Weight Loss,” even “Shoes and Gear,” where they review the newest things, made for running, to hit the market.  The Asics Kayano 15 won the Editor’s Choice award, and the title “Best Shoe in the World,” from this renowned publication, as well as being in the top 5 running shoes of the year by a plethora of sites (Consumer Search, Running Shoes Wizard, etc.).  We have several different colors, and as always, the price is almost impossible to beat.
