Reason #934 of Why I Love This Chick:
After sleeping in two hour intervals all night to feed/change Benicio, she still can wake up and tell me if my clothes match.


Lakers Update:
The Lakers are on a little winning streak and although they haven't looked very strong in the last two contests (vs. Boston and Portland) they came up with the win. And really, isn't winning the most important thing? I think so. Tomorrow's the trading deadline and although I know I'm in the minority on this, I hope they trade Kobe for Shaq staight-up...If they trade Walton I will be really pissed.

Poetry On A Rainy Weekend

This weekend consisted of a whole lot of nuthin'...actually I shouldn't say that, we went to the Natural Science Museum and saw the Body Works exhibit. Benicio was fascinated. The thing is, I don't want to get into the whole right/wrong of the exhibit and I instead want to deal with the poetry Violet and I have been writing to eachother since the beginning of our relationship. My reasons...I don't know, I just find love poems funny and I think Violet and I have captured the stupidity behind Hallmark and the like, perfectly. So without further ado, I bring you:

Poetry For Cheesy Lovers:

(the following is a poem from Violet to BeniciosDaddy, date unknown but it was a Valentines day)

i was walking by
when you caught my eye.
yeah you were fine
and i was like, dang!
my hair was a mess
like always i guess.
but there you were
big lips and all.
very handsome and hairy
and funny and tall.
i still like you a little
love you a lot
still like your poems
and think you're really hot...

(this one is from BD to Violet, and is dated 6-13-01...obviously special occasions are not necessary for this kind of cheese)

Your eyes are like olives,
Kalamata I think.
Your nose like a button,
on Alaliyah or Pink.
When you laugh it sounds loud,
like a train wreck or such.
And when you cry it doesn't bother me,
not at all, not that much.
You're leaving to New York,
I guess I should be nice...
But damn baby,
Why you eat up all my rice!!??

This is what happens when it rains in LA...you get posts like these. Damn you rain!
