Irrational Rant....What's My Name?

Shortly after we are born, we are given a name. We are called by name from this point forward and I can't imagine a situation (unless one has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's much later in life) in which someone would need a constant reminder of it hanging from their body. That brings me to today's rant: people who wear their names on necklaces, earrings, bracelets, or other pieces of jewelry. You know what I'm talking about, and in my humble opinion it's absolutely absurd. See below for clarification in case you are unsure:

Really? Why is this necessary? Have you ever been introduced to someone who has said;  "Oh, hi, I'm (looks down towards their cleavage for a quick reminder) Chelsea." or, have you ever encountered someone who needs a minute to take their earring out or look down at their hand or wrist to check the name spelled out on their ring or bracelet? No? I didn't think so.

In addition to broadcasting your name to every single creep you come in contact with (which is just risky, especially as a young woman---can you say 'stalker'?), the jewelry is always cheap and ghetto fab. Think about it; in your day to day life,  have you ever seen a woman who you would define as classy wearing personalized jewelry? Right, I didn't think so. I imagine that these pieces probably leave a nice green ring against the skin when they are removed each night.  Every so often, a ridiculous celebrity will show up wearing something like this. Even then, although their pieces probably are costly, it just looks STUPID and somehow, despite the price, it still looks cheap. It actually makes me angry. I just equate this jewelry with trash, based on actual people I've known who wear it. I've seen girls at the gym, wearing these HUGE hoops with their names through the middle, and, depending on my mood, I've had to fight my urge to walk up to them and rip them from their ears.

As you read this post and think, "What's wrong with KC Jones?" or "Who cares about this? She's not being forced to wear this stuff.", remember, this post is an "IRRATIONAL RANT". I'm aware that this issue should not upset or otherwise negatively affect me at all, but the reality is this; it does. This is my futile attempt to rid the world of nameplate jewelry. Won't you join me?

Big Ran Note:  This is an epic video from start to finish.  They picked the perfect dog for Snoop to morph into, a Doberman.  This video really makes no sense from start to finish, but I like how they are showing that dogs of all sizes and breeds can be straight up Gs and hustlas.

Welcome to Miami...

I think I speak for both Big Ran and myself when I thank the Celtics for not ruining Easter. While they totally quit at the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th, I liked what we saw for the most part. Production from everyone (not just the Big Four, but Big Baby, West, etc.), smothering defense, and toughness. The first half of the game showed what the Celtics are capable of if they commit to winning. I like that team's chances. However, since there is always a chance that they'll regress back to what we saw as a 23 point lead was squandered, I remain nervous and sometimes skeptical. Anyway, in addition to ending the series in 4 games, another positive is the fact that Baby Bron Bron, D-Bag, and Company COULDN'T get it done against Philly today (another Easter miracle!). This means more rest for the Celtics before the next round, which SHOULD (barring a miracle) be a matchup against the Heat. So, in honor of our team's series sweep, let's get pumped for the next series.

P.S. Spike- better luck next year!

P.P.S. Since it looks like we'll be facing Miami, everyone get their masks printed out in honor of the rumored love affair between Delonte and Gloria James. Hey Lebron, you've been bad and your stepfather and his friends will be coming to spank you soon!
