Brian McKnight - The Only One For Me

you say you seen too many things
that turn out to be too good to be true
against your better judgement, opened up your heart
'til you found the joke was on you
looking out on the rest of our lives
if we're gonna be together or apart
about the only way i know how to come
is right straight from the heart

i want you now
i'll show you how
i can be the man you need me to be
i've been around
but now i've found
that you're the only one for me

say you'll never fall again
you won't subject yourself to such pain
if you give me a half a chance
i will never leave you standing out in the rain
but if you think that i could look you in your face
and lie right through my teeth
then turn around and walk away
cross my heart, girl i care for you
when i look in your eyes, i must say

i need you now
i'll show you how
i can be the man you need me to be
i've been around
but now i've found
that you're the only one for me
i need you so
i can't let go
gonna be all that i can be
i want you still
i always will
cause you're the only one for me


i swear. how can you not love someone who sings this crap to you? god. words are good. oh so very good.

a request for your mailing address.

It's funny. When you get that text or email to ask for your mailing address, it can only mean one of two things - marriage or baby.

Maybe it's just me, but it seriously feels like everyone and their moms are either getting married, having babies, or doing both at the same time. Have I really gotten to that age that this is the next step? I mean, I'm 25, but I still don't feel the need to do any of this. I feel like I'm just not emotionally, mentally or physically ready to do any of it just quite yet. Or maybe because the right person just hasn't come along to make all the things fall in the right place. Who knows. But whatever it is, it's absolutely insane how many people I know and are close with are getting married and having babies! Ah well, guess that's just how life goes.

So to all my wonderful friends and family who are getting engaged, married, making babies, having babies... CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Now for the real question... what to wear to all these weddings... :)

LAKERS!!!

After reading several sports forum posts, NBA articles, etc, etc. I think I finally came cross one of the best forum posts ever. Hell yes. So here's to Game 7... I cannot wait to shut all the stupid Boston fans up! Victory and revenge will be so sweet. Perkins out too? Boston's got no chance! A sweet revenge from the 08 season is all I need to make me one happy gal!

"I’ve loved all the triumphant moments, for sure. The baby hook, 1985, Magic’s off-balance/one legged/leaning left bank shot that won a game, etc, etc. But, and this may sound strange, the memories/moments that I love the most are the ones that keep me hating the Celtics…Every time I think of the McHale clothesline, every replay of Don Nelson hitting that high bouncing jumper off the back heel, every Celtic fan whining about how 1986 isn’t the same because of the Lakers “choke job” against Houston (when Sampson hit that totally lucky volleyball set looking jumper), every excuse about how in 1987 McHale had a broken foot and everyone was injured so that title is less than worthy, every mention of how we wouldn’t have won in 2008 even with Bynum/Ariza, all the lunacy about how in 2009 they would have won with a healthy KG, how they still have the lead with 17, all the BS about leprechauns and the ghost of Red, all the back and forth I have with my friends who follow that repugnant team….man, just writing that got me ready for the season to start. I really, really don’t like them and every memory that reinforces that is a good one. Those memories just fuel me to dislike them more and root against them harder and savor every victory over them like it’s the only thing that ever mattered.

Like I said, I’ll always love those epic moments where being a fan is rewarded with it’s best reward – the vanquishing of a true rival. But those moments would mean nothing without the hate. So, the memories I love the most are the ones that keep those feelings alive. Keep ‘em coming Celtics fans, you make us thrashing you that much sweeter."
