I'm telling you, she gets the most ridiculous guys hitting on her.
I wish I could post their pictures without getting in trouble. One guy has pictures of himself working out on his profile, with captions about something to do with his "Bicips." ("I don't know if you heard me counting, but I did over 1,000....").
Anyway, her latest message is as follows:

Hey, how you doing today cutie...Hopefully good...But shyt, my name is Rell and I was just looking through a couple different pages, and I happened to like what I saw(talking about your picture), so I went to your profile...I took a glance around, and I must say, I am definetly feeling ya style....Every player has a team to help him out and vice versa, and I wanna make you that star/franchise player, ya dig me...I'm not tryna come at you sidewayz, but, like I did say befire, I was most definetly feeling ya swag(if you wanna call it that), and I wanna see if we could make something happen...So listen...I want you to go my page, glance around, and if you interested, get back at me....Don't keep me waiting too long...Just playin..LOL...
Take Care Gorgeous...
Rell...
Let me just say that his default picture is him, probably taken from a webcam whilst he's composing such absurdities, and, of course, enjoying a Swisher Sweet cigar. Seriously.
I am so jealous!!! Why doesn't anyone cool want ME to be their star/franchise player? DAMN IT!!!!!
That's all. Oh, and I have three new pics from my shoot last week. Feedback appreciated!
First one was taken by Scott Miron. Hair and Makeup by Nicole Fae. Dress by BCBG.
The next two are David Birdsong Photography. I did my own hair and makeup. Chemise by Tia Lyn Lingerie.
Have a great week! Watch out for fruitloops online!
Since I've been on Twitter (follow me!), it has been my goal to get Shaq to respond to me.
Well, finally, it happened!
He randomly was tweeting, and said something about shooting, passing, and slamming, which, to true Shaq fans, of course is easily recognizable as lyrics to one of his songs.
So, I tweeted back, and said "Aren't those your song lyrics? =P"
To which he responded "Dam yur smart."
YAY! Finally!
Now I just gotta get him to follow me and respond frequently. Baby steps!
Here are some screen captures of my moment in the sun.
The first one is his screen, where you can see it low on his posts (I couldn't capture until I got to school, because I just switched from PC to Mac at home, and don't know how to do it yet).
Next, we have the page of my replies. It's right there at the bottom!
Finally, I put the two screenshots together to make one glorious image, which looks like it is hard to read on Blogger. Brutal.
Ok... On to more NBA lovefest time.
A while back, I said that I have a crush on Dwight Howard. He's big & silly, so that's pretty much all I need - haha.
Anyway, seeing this TOTALLY deepened my crush! Lawd!
Oh, and speaking of videos, there are some new DbTVs on my YouTube Channel, or, if that is blocked, on my Vimeo Channel.
On March 6th, 1972, Shaquille Rashuan O'Neal was born.
He would grow to become my absolute favorite celebrity.
So, on his birthday, I thought I'd take the time to explain why.
Now, first of all, despite the fact that visually, I do tend to prefer large, extremely tall black men, I feel the need to say again that I am not sexually attracted to Shaq.
This is something that OFTEN gets confused.
If he tried to take me home, I would cry.
I do, sometimes, think he looks good, but I would never do anything with him other than platonic things.
That being said, here is why I like him.
I've always loved big men. My dad is pretty big, although by my standards now, I would consider him kinda short (6'2"). As a child, I had a huge crush on Arnold Schwarzenegger (because of the film classic "Twins."). So yeah, the idea of a big, gentle giant has always been something I've liked.
Now, more personally to Shaq. First of all, he does many amazing things for kids and charity. Yes, this is easier to do when you have basically unlimited funding, but he goes above and beyond just that, and truly seems to enjoy it. He's been known to go out on Christmas and give away 500 presents to kids going door-to-door. He has Shaq-a-Claus, Shaqsgiving, and does work for the Boys & Girls club, just sent tons (literally) of peanut butter to Africa... The list goes on and on (just like I do, when you get me talking about something that I'm passionate about. Shaq is one of those topics - I just think he's incredible - obviously).
In addition to his awesome humanitarianism, he has an incredible and insane personality.
If you know me, you know that I am always laughing and smiling. I cherish absurdity, and embrace it whenever I can. Shaq is the same. He doesn't take life or himself too seriously. He seems to fully understand the idea of living each day to the fullest and enjoying every minute of it.
Here are a few examples of such silliness.
First up (I'm just going through my favorite videos on YouTube) is Shaq's most recent ESPN commercial. I know that you can make the argument that it is a commercial, and as such, has a script and may not be a true example of his personality. Well, here's my counter-argument. Have you seen Steel or Kazaam? As much as I love him, and as much as I love watching those movies just because Shaq's goof ass makes me smile, he is a terrible actor. He can only pull of roles when he's playing himself. This commercial is one of them. (Ok, he might be acting a little more serious than he normally seems to be!).
Here he is, showing his alma mater pride and ridiculousness (you have to sit through a little boring stuff about THEE Ohio State University first)...
Again, I could go on... If anyone personally wants me to share more, let me know, and I can point you in the right direction of some Shaqtastic videos and other reference materials.
Moving on.... My new obsession: Twitter.
I signed up (follow me!) because someone was pretending he was Shaq and posting some very Shaq-esque tweets. Shaq responded by signing up himself, and is now the King of Twitteronia.
Let me just tell you that following Shaq has been completely hilarious, and it is fantastic, because when I least expect it, I get a silly ass text from Shaq.
Those of you who know me also know that I love the lolcats.
The creator takes Shaq's tweets and combines them with pictures of Shaq for some serious hilarity.
One thing Shaq has been doing lately is telling his "Twitterean brothers and sisters" where he currently is located, and giving them a time limit to come and touch him, mention the tweet, and get free tickets to his game.
The other day, apparently someone couldn't find his big ass. So here's his tweet:
(Note: For the horizontal ones, some get cut off... Click on the picture to see the whole thing. =))
The rest of these are just random faves of mine... Either chosen because I love the picture, or I think the quote is funny. I will comment when I have more to say than that!
Lawd. Really Shaq? Britney? Haha.
He tweeted that at like 5am CST. =P
One of the features of Twitter is Twitpic. Citizens of Twitteronia can upload pictures and attach them to tweets. This was one of his first photo tweets. He has since posted pictures of his hand, his perspective of Walmart at 4am, pictures of him sleeping, Steve Nash... All kinds of hilarious and ridiculous stuff. I love it. =)
I want to know how to pronounce "Schwwwwwww!" He tweets it a lot!
It seriously took me a minute to figure out what the hell he was talking about with that one.
I only posted that one so I could link to this! You had to see that coming!
He followed that up with saying that he meant cute like a little boy, haha.
Hell yeaaaaaa indeed!
And he did so well!
That go kart goes 60mph!
"Schwwww" again?!
Thought that this one was especially relevant today.
SO WISE!!! I couldn't agree more!
I ADORE that one. My favorite tweet of all time. "Ibadablaa, Jigamagla, bockeraaa?"
Heehee...
"Schwwwwwwww!"
I could never hold a grudge against someone who gave in to a cheeseburger craving!
"Ibadablaaa, Jigamadla, bockeraaa?"
Ok, I think I've more than proven my point. =P
Happy birthday, Shaq. Love you!
P.S. It is my goal to get him to respond to one of my tweets! I will keep you posted!
So, the school at which I teach is a 6th-12th grade school, with one of the largest Special Ed departments in the city. One of these students randomly emails a few of the staff members with very creative tales involving the younger staff members, as well as some crazy characters.
Here's a key for characters at my school: Ms. C - Middle School English Teacher Ms. S - High School English Teacher G & TH/The H Brothers - Two brothers that work in the Special Ed Department Mr. W - A Special Ed Teacher
I have been writing back and forth with him for a bit, and here's what we've discussed....
Ms. M,
Daffy Duck had an eye on Ms. S's prized belongings, and ran to the living room, and he stole Ms. S's M & I credit card, while Ms. S was on the couch sleepin'. Daffy even stole them diamonds that Ms. S brought home. Ms. S and Ms. C were both robbed by Daffy. John Cena, G & T H were on the hunt for Daffy Duck. Cena and the H Bros. were on Daffy's trail. Ms. C woke up seconds later, only to find her credit card missing! Ms. S had been robbed of her belongings. John Cena and the H Brothers caught Daffy Duck in the act, and sent him to jail. Daffy Duck was behind bars, and he had spent 3 months in jail. Cena and the H's recovered Ms. S & Ms. C's belongings, and they were invited to Ms. C's house for a tea party. Scorpion was cookin' bacon, sausage, meat loaf, pancakes, and some Ore-Ida french fries during a tea party. Cena & the H's and Ms. C all lived happily ever after. Ms. S was invited to Ms. C's house as well. Ms. S enjoyed her tea during a tea party.
P.S., Daffy Duck busted out of jail! Can Cena and the Huvens catch him and send him back to jail? E-mail me and find out!
-D-
D,
Ms. S & Ms. C need to lock their doors and windows when they sleep! Thank goodness for the H Bros and John Cena for catching Daffy Duck, bringing him to justice, and getting all of Ms. S and Ms. C's belongings back to them! It was surely nice of Ms. C to invite everyone over for the tea party. Sounds like they had some delicious food! Is Scorpion a good cook? I would love to eat some Ore-Ida French Fries right now! How did Daffy Duck bust out of jail?! He sure is sneaky! I can't wait to read what happens next!
~Ms. M
Ms. M,
Daffy Duck dug his way out of jail by usin' a shovel. He launched a sneak attack on Ms. S and Ms. C, by knockin' them unconscious with a sledgehammer. Daffy Duck also fled the scene, and he put you to sleep with a tranquilizer dart. He stole yo' Pontiac car, then he high-tailed it, and he pearl-harbored it. John Cena & G & T H were on the case. You've been asleep fo' 45 hours. Daffy Duck was chased by Cena and the H's. You woke up the next day, only to notice that yo' car was missin'. The H Bros. and John Cena caught Daffy Duck, yet again, and they took him to jail and they recovered yo' Pontiac car, and they recovered yo' rent money. You lived happily ever after with Cena and the H Bros. Cena and the H's invited Mr. W and Ms. S and Ms. C to yo' house fo' a tea party. Y'all had Frosted Flakes, and y'all had some Ore-Ida shoestring fries fo' lunch.
P.S., Daffy Duck is behind bars.
-D-
D,
That must have been a lit of digging! The sledgehammer must have hurt! I bet it would have come in handy for Daffy when he was trying to dig himself out of jail!
I can't believe I got knocked out with a tranquilizer dart!!!
Thank goodness for the H brothers and John Cena! I am glad that they got my rent money and car back. How would I have gotten to work otherwise?
Tea, frosted flakes, and Ore-Ida fries is a really interesting meal!
I am glad Daffy Duck is behind bars... Who knew he was such a buster!?
Ms. M
Ms. M,
Daffy Duck stole Ms. C's rent money, stole her car (Lexus), and he took Ms. C's Western Union credit card, while Ms. C was asleep on the couch for 29 hours.
John Cena, G & T H were invited to Ms. S's house for a cookout, and for a tea party. Ms. C woke up the next day, only to find out that her rent money is gone. John Cena, G & T H were dressed as security guards, while they were in pursuit of Daffy Duck.
Do you think Daffy Duck is a thief?
-D-
D,
I guess if he really stole Ms. C's rent, credit card and Lexus, then he must be a thief! I hope he doesn't get his eye on any of my belongings! I hope that John Cena, G & T H catch him so that Ms. C doesn't end up on the street!
Why did Ms. C sleep for 29 hours? That is a long time! She must've been very tired!
~Ms. M
Ms. M,
John Cena & T & G H were invited to Ms. C's house fo' a cookout, and fo' a tea party. You drank some Kool-Aid Lemonade, drank some of that Sprite, and drank some of that Faygo Twist. Cena & The H Bros. had some Ore-Ida Shoestring Fries fo' lunch, and they found out that Daffy Duck busted out of jail. He fired a tranquilizer dart at you, kidnapped you, and put you in the limo, and Daffy was disguised as the limo driver. He took the limo driver's identity, and he had kidnapped Ms. C as well, while Ms. C was asleep due to Daffy's tranquilizer dart. Daffy took Ms. C and you to Gnasty Gnorc's house. Can Cena and the H Bros. catch Daffy and send him to jail once and for all?

And there you have it! I am very impressed by his grammar and spelling. I love that he even remembers to pop in apostrophes in places of Gs and such!
I have to write him back still, but I think it's hilarious! I will be writing him back tomorrow for sure! Apparently, he printed some "WANTED: DAFFY DUCK" signs and gave them to her. She gave me one to hang in my room. I will take a picture of it, and include it in the next Daffy Duck Saga.
I am a teacher... And a model. I'd like to think that I am a model teacher, but that might be a stretch. It's an interesting combination, though. I'll tell you that much!
