I don’t have words…

February 3rd, 2008, 8:30 pm by mramirez

This blog has nothing to do with music. 

And I don’t have the words for the sick feeling I have in the pit of my stomach.
My dad said it…”those Giants have heart.”
And I said, “you know what Pa, you’re right.”

And I started to get nervous.
I think I sent about 150 text messages in four quarters.
Final score…Giants 17, Patriots, Disappointment.
“Undefeated versus Undaunted” is right, Kirk Benefield.
A perfect season gone in vain. At least for me.
I did get to see my man score a Super Bowl touchdown, which was worth the loss, I guess.
This was an amazing game.
Giants were a force to be reckoned with and a lot of us definitely underestimated them.
Who are these cob webs on the podium? Just give the players their trophy.
Geez.

Well, the Super Bowl came and went. But I really have to point out the rockin’ halftime performance!!!
Tom Petty brought the house down! It helped me forget about Jordin Sparks’ almost live National Anthem.
Petty hasn’t lost his swagger.
And for next year, we could really do without the Ryan Seacrest red carpet pre-show. Goodness gracious. That was just pathetic. Does Seacrest  have any idea what a football looks like?

I’m just upset. Don’t pay any attention to me.
I really thought we had this one.

Now I know what Cowboy fans must feel. (Both of us lost to the Super Bowl champs).
Ouch.

See ya next season.

Single, ready to mingle???

This just in…
As we prepare for Borderfest, the folks at Dodge Arena announced the opening act for Alan Jackson.
Kicking things off Feb 28 is country singer/songwriter Rodney Atkins.
You might know his chart-topping songs including, “Honesty (Writer Me A List),” “These Are My People,” and “Cleaning My Gun (Come On In Boy).”

Also coming to the El Valle…
Is Capitol Records recording artist Chris Cagle.
He will be puttin’ on quite the show at this year’s Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show in Mercedes.
Show is March 7, tickets are $20.

As much as I’d like to stay and chat…
I’ve got to prepare for my big conference call with The Jonas Bros. tomorrow afternoon.
Oh sweet Mary! I am beyond excitement.
If anyone has any suggestions for questions I’d be more than happy to listen!!!
I have a few up my sleeve (PG of course)…
I don’t care if you don’t care.
Just let us have our moment.
If you don’t like the boys, turn the dial or change the channel. But these boys are everywhere so it’ll be hard to stay away.
On that same token…be sure to get your tickets to the Hannah Montana Best of Both Worlds 3D Concert, which premieres this Friday!!!
Most of us weren’t able to snatch tickets to her live show, so here’s the next best thing!!! The 3D digital movie will be shown in theaters around the Valley.
And yes, you’ll get the nifty 3D glasses with the purchase of your ticket.
I’ll be there… with my new Hannah Montana tee.
And what? POP OFF!
