"I Love New York" was sincere for once!

As much as I hate to admit it, I do love New York. The girl has poor grammar and she sometimes her tearful pleas with the boys are a bit overactive for my taste, yet there's something about her that catches my attention. And last night, she managed to prove to me what it is that I tend to pay such special close attention to. Despite all her flaws, she is still HUMAN. She had Real and Chance (from Season 1) return to the show to help her get to the bottom of what was really up with her boys, especially with Pretty.


Pretty dug his own grave by telling the brothers (Real and Chance) that everyone in his family had met the girls he was ever in love with, while his own sister tells New York and Sister Patterson that no one in the family has met ANY of his girlfriends. Alright, correct me if I'm wrong, but, Pretty's sister had nothing to lose, but Pretty had to hold his own and protect his manhood with Real and Chance? Okay... can you say, "GAY?"

Entertainer was said to have a bad temper, Buddha, who is one of Sister Patterson's boys, is said to have violent tendencies... can you imagine what Sister Patterson felt when she heard this? Afterall, he did attack one of her other boys. And as big a pussy Tailor Maid is, he still didn't deserve it, and I'm still voting for him. Turns out that Tailor Maid's story checked out to be 100% on the real with New York, so he is still getting hands down kudos with her. I will admit that I was worried there for a second. I almost thought she was going to bring Chance back. But who kept her in line? REAL!!! Boy kept it real for real - no pun intended.


New York had dinner with Chance and Real and got the 411 she needed. When elimination time came, she gave a heartfelt apology to all the guys... and for once I felt her tears were real. Chance had his name for a reason. He had his "chance" already and it's long gone. Time to move aside and let Tiffany Patterson find a real man - no, not Flave.

Merry Christmas vs. Happy Holidays

The choice of words is exactly that... your choice. Apparently, you must be careful what you say and to whom. Why? Well in brief, the term "Christmas" is derived from "Christ," hence the birth of Christ. Whereas with "Happy Holidays," you are greeting the general consensus with something that can be taken without a grimace or cringe. Those who are agnostic or atheist may not appreciate the term Merry Christmas, OR, the term means something completely different to them. I on the other hand use both. If I don't know the person, it's always Happy Holidays because I don't want to guess their religion/ beliefs. So why say Merry Christmas if you don't believe? What makes the Holidays so Happy? The typical cliche: families at home, opening a canister of Folger's coffee, little girl crying out, "Peter!" Then there's the home videos of kids opening their presents... watching everyone around the table having a home-cooked meal. Prior to all this, you have to beat the crowds to shop for what you want for others. You've got the weather working against you in some parts of the nation. There's homeless people everywhere searching for shelter to hide from the fierce cold air; they need nourishment, even if it's alcohol to warm them up. So again, what makes the Holidays so Happy? Take it for what it's worth - Christmas is the spirit of giving and goodwill towards men - just not when it comes to G.W. Bush - whereas the Happy of Happy Holidays is what you make of it.
