Random Ramblings

Hey world. What's going on with y'all? What's up with my homies? Woot woot.



My Christmas Tree



I’m sitting on my bed with my laptop. I just got done with setting up my white Christmas tree in my room. It's quite beautiful, in my opinion. Now I'm tired. My room’s a mess. I should be cleaning it. Oh well. Lifetime’s on the television. I’m a sucker for sappy movies, I must admit. I’m bored. I feel no motivation to do anything but sit here and blog and watch YouTube videos—Typical. My mom’s downstairs. My sister just emailed us a ton of pictures of her in Tuscaloosa with her boyfriend, Brandon. He’s funny. I’ve met him once before. My sister’s so pretty. I’m so jealous but I’m so proud of her. I can’t believe she’s in college now. I feel old. I think I feel gray hair coming on. Darn. It’s her freshman year at the University of Alabama and she really likes it.  She thought about going to Auburn considering it is ten minutes down the road but that Crimson Tide spirit got into her so she decided on Tuscaloosa. My dad was happy. He might have disowned her if she went to AU. Just kidding.  But he wouldn’t have been a happy camper about it. I have a lot of family members who’re alumni so I’ll probably be going there too. No problem with that. Well today was pretty dull. You can’t say much about a rainy Tuesday in Alabama. It is what it is. Gray skies just aren’t my thing. Unless I’m chilling at home and there’s nothing on my agenda. It’s raining now, I’m pretty sure. But I’m too lazy to look out the window and the curtains are blocking my view. I’m texting my boyfriend Ty and three of my friends. It’s super hard to text more than one person at a time. I mean seriously, you start forgetting what you last said to everyone and what conversation you’re having with them. Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know. I want to get my iPod and get some new songs off iTunes. I love Bruno Mars’s Grenade, Kesha’s We R Who We R, and Like a G6 has grown on me and I want to hear that new Michael Jackson song. I do love me some Michael. I’m heading to ATL for the weekend. I’m going to the SEC Championship game with my friend Christine. She’s a Gamecocks fan and she’s lending me a shirt to sport while I’m there. It’ll be fun. College football games are the bomb, although I prefer them to be Alabama games of course. It’ll be awesome though since I have seen Christine and her family since this summer. We always act like complete dorks when were together. For this weekend, I am a Gamecock fan. I hope that they can kick some Tiger butt and get revenge for us. Just realized how close to Christmas it is. We’re already decorating the house. We got some icicles put up outside and were getting a real Christmas tree soon. I love the way you feel all warm and fuzzy at Christmas. It’s still flipping hot down here though. Well the whether sort of flip flops from humid to freezing. That’s living in the South for you. I think I want some Hot Cocoa so for now this is all I have to say. And now I will end my random rambling. Thanks for reading.

Merry early, early Christmas, y’all.

The Iron Bowl

IT'S A WIN-WIN SITUATION

Friday, November 26, the day after Thanksgiving.

TUSCALOOSA, AL

Me and the family (My parents, aunt and uncle, three sisters, big brother, and two cousins) are up in T-town. It's a rainy mess of a day and hope and impending doom loom in the air. We're a three point favorite. Ironic. We're number eleven and Auburn's number two. That just sounds like a plan to throw us off our game. Stupid me didn't bring my camera to the most important day of the year. And my mom didn't charge hers. Well at least we could forget this ever happened if we leave home with a loss. Right? Sounds like a plan.

After some breakfast at the hotel, we head to the stadium. Bryant-Denny is surrounded in a sea of crimson. Beautiful. We take our seats amongst the crowd of people. Dreams grow and die and this stadium but it's full of history. And there's no denying that. Barners can't say that about their program. It's not as storied as Alabama. Not as classic. But this year Cam and the Barners are on a rampage. He's like Tebow, the thug edition.

Cam Newton. I've heard that name a billion times this year. If I hear it again I might explode. I swear. Allegations are flying about little Cam and everyone knows he's going to get caught. They'll declare him ineligible after he enters the pros so it won't effect his Heisman. Then Auburn's going to get the death penalty and have their dream season's wins vacated. That sucks. Poor Barners. But Chizik knows he's doing the wrong thing by playing him. Remember Reggie and USC? Guess not.

Take the Money and Run and Son of a Preacher Man are some ironic song choices chosen by UA. [Insert Cam Joke Here]

Anyway. It's cold and it's starting to rain. We got a lead on them. I'm thinking we can crush them. My daddy reminds me that they're a second half team. I say, nah, we got them. I hate that Mark Ingram fumbled that almost-touchdown. I feel sorry for him. That made him look pretty bad but he's Mark Ingram. He won't let that bother him. People make mistakes. Heisman winners make mistakes.

Greg looks phenomenal. He's making every throw. He broke JPW's record. Beautiful. And he looks hot doing so. That takes some serious talent. Looking good boy. Call me!

We sack Cam Newton. It's Courtney Upshaw. I have a feeling Courtney doesn't like Cam much. Maybe there's some built up anger their. Good. That's how you do it, Court.

Fairley sacks McElroy and throws a little party on the field. Doesn't even offer to help G-Mac up. Dadgum, if you hurt my man I'll jump that pretty new iron fence and slap your face, #90. Didn't your momma teach you to have some class? Hey, goes to show that Auburn doesn't have much class and Chizik doesn't give a crap.

Highlight of my night. Cam's spazing a little. Don't know what's up. Think he needs some extra cash. He's getting low. Throw the ball, son. Chizik's probably freaking out thinking he wasted his money on this guy. Cam does a little Michael Jackson dance reminiscent of Thriller. (Cam, go join a musical. You'd do well on Broadway!) Then BAM. Marcell Dareus takes him to the ground. That made my night. Win or lose, that was hilarious.

The second half approaches. Auburn scores. My dad's having a heart attack, I do believe. C'mon dad, were in public.

And again it happens. My heart sinks a little bit and I start to feel a little physically ill. Hey, if we don't win this we still get to watch Auburn go down in flames. So it's win-win really.

And it happens again. What in the world did Auburn give those boys in the locker room? Dadgum. Must've reloaded Cam's bank account. I'm now assured that's what happened.

Then the worst event of the night transpires. Greg McElroy is sacked. He falls, hits his shoulder, hits the ground, hits his head in a terrible fashion. I gasp and jump to my feet. The crowd gasps with me. The Jumbotron shows his eyes rolling back in his head. It looks rough. My gosh, he better be okay or I'll have to go kick some Tiger butt myself. He lies there for the longest time before they help him to his feet. He looks dazed and confused and seems to be mumbling odd phrases. Poor thing probably thinks he's in Kalamazoo. I love you Greg McElroy! You're hot even dazed, half-conscious, and spaced out. Wow.

Oh Gosh. My baby McCarron's going in. Poor thing looks like a helpless baby bird being pushed out of the nest. It's alright. If you mess this up, I'll still love you. The clock's running out. Cam's being a little drama queen as he gets tackled to the ground. Poor baby, did you sprain your pinky? He lies there trying to run out the time grimacing in pain. And the Emmy goes to Cam Newton! McCarron doesn't do much. But it's not like he really has a chance to. It's okay. I still love you. I still love all of y'all, Bama boys.

Time runs out. I'm sick for a little while but then the pain subsides. Doesn't look like the Auburn fans want to brag much because of the whole Cam Newton scandal. Kind of funny actually. How can you brag about a one point win? Wow. We'll beat them at their place next year when they don't have Cam or all of their seniors. Revenge will be sweet. 2011's going to be a great year for Bama, I feel it.

I'm over the hurt now. 2010 is going to be a vacant year in college football, you know.

I'll miss all the guys leaving us this year. They have all attributed greatly to our team and I have become huge fans of all of them. Mark Ingram your always going to be #22, our Heisman winner. Who accomplished so much in one year. Who cares if 2010 wasn't a good year? You did great just to be playing this year after a knee injury. Your much better then Cam. You did it without all the cash, without stealing laptops, and without cheating. Mark Ingram, your so beautifully humble. That's what's so cute about you and your little button nose. It's the way your so down-to-earth, so darlingly nervous, so non-egotistical, so not Cam-like. Your heisman speech was there ever was. That's pretty darn good. Good luck to the Bama boys going pro next year. I'll be watching y'all. And Greg McElroy, you won't be working at 711 darling. You're going to do something great with your life, genius. Beautiful, beautiful genius. Bama's going to miss you, red, #12. You're way better then people make you out to be. You lead your team to the top last year and no one can deny that.

Love,

Keely

AJ gets spanked!

                       AJ GETS SPANKED!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBe_q9zBl7E&feature=player_embedded

Y'all this is terrible but hilarious.
Saban freaks out and slaps AJ McCarron on the butt for making a mistake in the game. You know that boys embarassed as crap. I didn't even notice this at first. My friend's like hey did you see Saban spank McCarron and I'm like, "What the heck?" But seriously. Watch the video. It's crazy. Wow.

ONLY IN ALABAMA.

Anyway, the MSU game was fun. Our team did awesome. Maze was a star out there and Ingram showed he still had it. GMac had a good game and McCarron, hey, he did good. But apparently Saban didn't think so.

30-10

A BAMA WIN!

A Bitter Rivalry Can Destroy Friendships...

Alabama, and the South in general has a reputation for "southern hospitality". The people of this state are generally genial and helpful and often go out of their way to help a stranger. While racial divisions still exist in the state they are much more muted than popular belief and stereotypes hold. In fact, many leaps and bounds have been made within Alabama, in terms of race relations, since the 1950s and 60s. The attitudes and problems of the Old South are mostly held today only by the old and the uneducated.
Known primarily for its status as the original capitol of the Confederacy (in Montgomery} and the birthplace of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Alabama can be a study in contrasts.
The sport of American football is taken extremely seriously in Alabama. In addition to significant regional devotion to high-school football teams the entire state, in terms of college football, is divided into two factions: Auburn University fans and University of Alabama fans. The rivalry is so bitter, in fact, that it took an act by the Alabama State Legislature in the late 1940s to force the two colleges to play one another (the two had stopped playing each other in the first years of the 20th century over an officiating dispute). Even then the two schools would not agree to play at opposing sites so the State of Alabama used taxpayer funds to build Legion Field in Birmingham as a neutral site. It wasn't until 1989 that the Crimson Tide finally visited Auburn and 2000 that the Tigers visited Alabama. This can also be a point of concern for tourists as the rivalry is so serious that if you do not know about it then it is better to not say anything at all. Many friendships and marriages fall apart due to this rivalry and this is not an exaggeration of the truth. One could say that Auburn and Alabama fans are only rivaled in their fanaticism by those fans of European football (soccer).

Fake Southern Accents... Grrr!

1. Buy a book or CD on the market if you want an elaborate education in the southern accent. Otherwise, just interchanging a few of your daily words with southern choices or understanding how to draw out some syllables will get you there.
2. 2
   Use "y'all" every chance you get. This is appropriate in referring to a single person or a group of people. Never say "going to" again but insert "fixin to" and you will already seem like a pro.
3. 3
   Stop differentiating the "e" and the "i" in a word. If you're doing it right, then someone should wonder whether you're wanting to sew or write when you ask for a "pen."
4. 4
   Take words and add some syllables. "Why" should be "waa" and then "eye." The word "nail" should be "nay" and then "eel."
5. 5
   Take two syllable words and shorten them to one, like change the "tar" (tire) on the car.
6. 6
   Perfect a small vocabulary. Purdy, reckon, awfullest, gol darned, critter and breetches, and tarnation are all a good place to start.

1

Start by working on the pronunciation of the letter “A.” You’ll need to rethink the short sound of that particular vowel in certain instances, trading it in for the long sound. The long sound of “A” sometimes comes out sounding like a long “I” sound. People who would like a second helping might say they would “pie (pay) for another plite (plate).”

2

Next tackle the short “E” sound which, while remaining the same in some instances, changes to what almost sounds like one or two syllables starting with an “ay” sound. “Egg” becomes “ayugg” while “pen” becomes “payun” and “red” becomes “rayud.”

3

Pronounce the letter “I” followed by an “R” as if it were written “ar” in some words. For example: “That car far started in a tar.” (That car fire started in a tire.) Notice that the short sound of the letter “I” often sounds as if it has two syllables.

4

Leave the “R” off most words with an “or” combination and, instead, use a one to two syllable “o-uh” sound. For example: “That sto-uh is near the seasho-uh” (That store is near the seashore).

5

Throw in some expressions and phrases perceived to be Southern in origin. For example, if you drop a bowl of nuts, say that they went “everwhichaways” and add that you found that “aggervatin.” Here are a couple other good ones: “If you can't run with the big dogs, stay under the porch” and “I'm hungry enough to eat the south end of a north bound skunk.”

SURPRISING CONVERSATIONS...

"Butter my butt, and call me a biscuit!" It's a clear way to say you are knocked out of your britches with a new tidbit of knowledge.

"It made me as ill as a hornet." You were so mad, you just didn't know what to do.

"If that don't put pepper in the gumbo."

"Well, slap my head and call me silly."

"Tie me to an anthill and fill my ears with jam."

2

WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND CAN'T SAY ANYTHING NICE

"Bless her/his heart."

"Do tell."

"My cow died last night, so I don't need your bull."

"I do declare."

"Well, shut my mouth."

3

IN DEATH

"She's resting in peace in the marble orchard." (You can add "Bless her heart.")

"He's fixin' to meet his Maker."

4

STUPID, UGLY AND CLUMSY PEOPLE (there must be a lot around here because there are many ways to imply such things) Since we don't usually call people stupid, ugly and clumsy - follow each of these phrases with, "Bless his/her heart"

"He looks like something the dog's been keeping under the porch."

"She's so ugly, she could haunt a house."

"He's acting crazier than a sprayed roach."

"She's two sandwiches shy of a good picnic."

"If brains were dynamite, he couldn't blow his nose."

"He's as useful as a pogo stick in quicksand."

"She needs some fries to go with that shake."

"Like a bump on the log."

Okay so I found these articles on talking like a Southerner and I'm like WTH? (The H means Heck) I don't curse. Lmbo! Anyways, yeah, these are insane. Especially the last one "How to use Southern Prhases In A Conversation". If I ever said "Butter my butt and call it a biscuit!" Please feel welcome to slap me. Sorry these made me lol. Yeah, we say y'all, and fixing, and we pronounce stuff different but those phrases are crazy. These were obviously made by Northerners. Those darn Yankees! (:

 

Lol. This made me laugh. I hate fake Southern accents, they make my skin crawl. I'm going to tell my ex-boyfriend,

"You look like something the dog's kept under the porch!"

 

Just kidding (:

 

Love y'all,

KEELY RAE

 

 

I'm Sorry.

I'M SORRY
I'm sorry to the boy whose heart I broke out of pure stupidity.

I'm sorry to my mom for all the things I did that let you down.

I'm sorry to my sisters for sometimes being an unbearable jerk.

I'm sorry to the boy I refused to dance with in eighth grade.

I'm sorry to the girl I was rude to when I was having a bad day.

I'm sorry to the little red headed kid in Kindergarten I joked about.

I'm sorry to the boy who got less then he deserved.

I could go on but these are just a few apologies that I owe to people.

Lacoste's Take on the 80's Look of 2010

IT AIN'T OVER ♥

I STILL BLEED CRIMSON.  ♥

So yeah it sucks that we drove hours and hours to Louisiana to see it end like that. But you know what? I'm pretty at peace with it. Our guys worked their butts off and yeah we made a lot of stupid mistakes on both defense and offense and I love McElroy to death but he was very much off his game tonight (Btw he touched my hand! OMG), but Julio played like a trooper and who can blame him for not catching a freaking hell Mary. He did awesome in my opinion. No one gives Ingram a chance to get anything. Every time it's up the middle! I wouldn't be surprised if he came back next year. But that's alright. I hope that McCarron is an awesome starting QB next year. We've always had a problem with QB's. I think we'll beast it next year actually. I think we pretty much beasted it this year. I mean it's not over we still have a chance to dethrone Auburn which would make it all worthwhile. Think about it too. They'll have one good year. Cam won't be there next year and the rest of Auburn's team is pretty sucky. Plus, he's being investigated and all. So Auburn fans shouldn't get too excited. Well I've learned not to take it too much to heart. I'm loyal to my team. I don't flip flop from one team to the other when my team isn't doing their best. I stick to the Crimson Tide. I love my boys. Yes, I claim them all. It's not over yet, y'all. Not over yet. It'll be just fine. I think some of our problem is the fact that our team was flawless last year and this year we held them to such high standards even though we had the toughest schedule in all of college football. I mean even champions don't win everything. You can only stay on top for so long. So honestly, I'm cool with it. It ended up being a pretty good trip down there although I wish we would've come back with the win. But it's not the end. It's alright. We'll build back up. Watch us. You know why?

Because we are the Crimson Tide!

i love the boys of the tide.

RTR,
Keely.

KEELY RAE♥

this is real, this is me

It's kind of strange writing about myself, but here it goes...

Hey y'all. I'm Keely Rae. I'm a Southern girl, born in raised here and darn proud of it. I'm different, I guess you could say but that's just what makes me who I am. I'm bubbly and loud, never been shy a day in my life. I'm opinionated but I won't shove my opinions down your throat. I pretty much get along with everyone. I don't start crap and I don't like drama. I try to separate myself from people who like getting involved in all of that. I'm not a partier, drinker, or any of that junk people my age are into and honestly, it doesn't bother me. I can have fun without getting drunk, thank you very much. I'm Christian for sure, God is my life. I try to do my best to abide by the rules he's set for us. I know I slip up some time but I'm only human.

I have a variety of randomly selected likes:

1. Alabama Football

RAMMER JAMMER YELLOW HAMMER GIVE 'EM HECK ALABAMA!

Huge fan of the Crimson Tide. I was born and raised an Alabama fan. My sister’s a student there now and I plan to go there when I graduate from high school. Me and the fam attend most every home game at Bryant-Denny. I love college football. It’s like so intense and high action. Love it. I love all the players… Mark Ingram, of course. He’s such a cutie! Greg McElroy (I have a crush on him, don’t tell my bf!), Julio, Marcell, Upshaw, Maze… Well I love them all so it’s a waste of time naming them. ♥

2. My Hello Kitty Necklace

WHO SAYS FIFTEEN IS TOO OLD FOR HELLO KITTY?

This is kind of a signature for me. I started wearing it about two or three years ago, now it's a staple for me. I always have it around my neck. It's just kind of my thing.

3. Michael Jackson's Music

SHOW EM HOW FUNKY STRONG IS YOUR FIGHT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHOSE WRONG OR RIGHT, JUST BEAT IT!

Gotta love the King of Pop. He was such an amazingly talented individual and his songs are just so upbeat and happy that no one can surpass him. When I'm in a bad mood, I just pop in one of his CD's and I'm back smiling, just as happy as ever. It just has that effect on me I guess. Among my favorites are of course Thriller, Beat it, Billie Jean, The Way You Make Me Feel, Human Nature, Wanna Be Starting Something... Hmmm, I could go on forever but I'll stop there. ♥

4. Converse

GOTTA LOVE THEM ALL-STARS.

I have a thing for Converse. My favorites are neon pink and I love them. They're so freaking comfortable and cute. I love High Tops and Love Tops. I just generally love them all I guess.

5. Boys

OBVIOUSLY!

I have a boyfriend at the moment and his name is Ty. I love love love him. He's amazing! I'm not one of those girls who switches boyfriends every week or whatever, that's definitely not who I am or what I'm about. If I really like someone I'm gonna stick with them. ♥

6. Chinese Food

SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN, HERE I COME!

Random, but yes, I love Chinese food. Oh and Japanese. But I'll just keep those under the same category. You gotta love you some Chinese food.

7. Twilight

TEAM JACOB!

Yes, I'm another annoying teenage Twilight lover. But the movies are good and the books are even better.

...

Here are a few dislikes:

1. Auburn

DON'T PUT ME IN THE AUBURN STORE!

Any self-respecting Alabama fan would put Auburn on their list of dislikes. In this part of the state, it's either Alabama and Auburn and if your an Alabama fan your kinda raised to dislike Auburn fans and if your an Auburn fan your raised to dislike Alabama fans. It's just a fact of life down here. It's just kind of bred into you. It's definitely a heated rivalry for sure. It's hard to watch the Iron Bowl sometimes because you end up taking it so freaking personally. It's more then a game to us. But we beat Auburn's tails the last few years! WHAT WHAT!

2. Haters

DON'T BE HATIN' ON ME!

Sorry, this is probably an obvious one. But don't those people who just hate you for no reason get on your last nerves? Just saying.

3. Cussing

YOU LITTLE ******!

It really bothers me when people like cuss every freaking word. It's like so annoying.

4. Conceited People

GET OVER YOURSELF!It bothers me when someones really into themselves. I just hate that 'Oh I'm So Amazing' attitude. It's just so unappealing.

...

Keep in mind that, of course, these are just a few things I like and dislike. I have many more, It would just be too much to write. Hey keep reading my blog and I'll keep adding more. Love y'all.

Keely Rae:)
