..Is it too late to become an Olympian?...

I can't help but feel inspired to get off my ass and start a sport that will place me in the next Olympics jaja. Ridiculous...I know... but after watching the Olympian athletes practice today and walking in that spectacular 2010 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, it makes me want to be one of them! There is about 5" of snow outside here in Dallas... that just adds to the fire! jaja. I thought the US team uniforms were greattt...thank you Ralph Lauren. In my humble opinion, I thought that the ceremony was beautiful and thoughtful. One of my favorite parts was when the floor turned into ice blocks and the water started to flood the stadium... followed by the whales! NEATO! I thought that Nelly Furtado and Bryan Adams were boring.. looked great but..meh. It was so unentertaining that I already forgot what it is that they sang! jaja Sarah McLachlan was flawless...along with her dancers....and K. D. Lang singing Hallelujah was just breathtaking. Job well done Canada! eh? Side note...I chuckled when my beloved Mexico was announced and only had 1 athlete!! jajaj we all know how much I care about the motherland!..and now with my fervent desire to be an olympian..well I thought maybe.. just maybe Mexico can send me next time ; )

On a sad note...I thought it was very sad that Georgian luge slider Nodar Kumaritashvili died today on a practice run. I was very shocked to see NBC play that video on National television... images as such I'd expect to see when I'm down in Mexico but never in the US. I don't understand the media... they show this accident/death video yet choose to censor other things that are not as morbid (ie same sex displays of affection)..but I guess that's another blog post. jaja If I was one of those luge sliders I would seriously be considering stepping away from the competition.. or switch over to figure skating.. just sayin'.

There was another loss this week that came as a surprise... English designer Alexander McQueen was found dead. Is it me or does it seem as though there are wayyyy too many celebs dying this year?! Check out this video of his work... wicked good...

There are A LOT of celebrities in Dallas this weekend for the NBA All Star Game! I haven't ran into of them yet... I sadly missed the Kardashians who were partying 1 block away from my apt last night because I was working on a deadline... boo...sad day..I really want to meet Khloe! ..she's my fav of the three jaja.

In a previous post I mentioned going to PARK on Henderson.. here is a snap shot along with a pic of the snow storm...taken from my apt... It's like Xmas all over again! jaja

...Passengers with destination...

I was sitting on the couch with my french doors open in my uptown bubble... on a beautiful Friday afternoon... sipping on my venti sweet green tea from Starbucks when I suddenly got the urge to blog. OH, I just want to warn my readers that I like ellipses (...) dot dot dot.. and I like to laugh in spanish... therefore I will be using the jaja's instead of the LOLs or Hahas! With that said..lets get started!

OK seriously Lady Gaga?! I would be pissed if I had to sit behind that woman at any event IE the Grammys. Sooo I met Lady Gaga once at a fashion show for Miss Sixty here in Dallas and we chatted for a while.. she was super nice and outgoing and I think she is tremendously talented... I want her bad romance! However, we get it...you're different! I'd like to see her in couture for a change! Now that would be interesting!

Moving on to the Dallas "scene"... I MUST tell you about this place... last weekend we ventured out to PARK on Henderson to have some cocktails for Anita's birthday. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised.. it was pretty damn fabulous with good music, reasonably priced drinks and great ambiance. I was initially interested in this restaurant/bar/garden because of its heavy landscaping. Nerd alert: I am a landscape architect. I felt like if I was out and about in LA! We (and by we I mean my entourage jaja my posse.. my friends) will definitely be going back to get our groove on. It is attached to a bar called "Celine" with posh booths...totally birthday party friendly. Just sayin'

In closing..I'd love to leave you dancing with one of my favorite songs by one of my all time favorite singers... the surrogate mother of my childern jaja Shakira ...from her album SHE WOLF.. this is Mon Amour (click there jaja)

"passengers with destination to hell.. please proceed to your gate... we are ready to board now" =P
