i have been in love with this song ever since i first heard it but it took me a while to figure out what it was but now that i have, for the past two days i have come home, pulled up the lyrics and sang my little heart out before going to bed. and now i have my officemate at work addicted to it too so we play it on repeat and somehow it just makes the week that much less stressful.
listen to it. love it.
Fall For You - by Secondhand Serenade The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting Could it be that we have been this way before I know you don't think that I am trying I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find You're impossible to find
This is not what I intended I always swore to you I'd never fall apart You always thought that I was stronger I may have failed But I have loved you from the start Ohhhh
But hold your breath Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find It's impossible
So breathe in so deep Breathe me in I'm yours to keep And hold onto your words Cause talk is cheap And remember me tonight When you're asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don't make me change my mind Or I won't live to see another day I swear it's true Because a girl like you is impossible to find You're impossible to find curious

game 6 celtics vs lakers. the 17th championship on june 17th no less and it has to rank up there as one of the best nights of my life. for the past couple weeks ive been obsessed with the playoffs and the celtics as ive never been before. i was like a giddy little schoolgirl yesterday and had butterflies and knots in my stomache and a nervous feeling all day and promptly at 5:30pm i shut down my computer and was off to an irish bar to watch. with a stranger who i met for the first time no less which is my biggest regret of the night. yes thats right, a stranger because out of obligation i went out on a date with a friend of a friend and while i badly wanted to cancel, i just couldnt bring myself to do it especially after weeks of trying to find a date that worked but in retrospect i should of just said to hell with feeling bad, i should of just done what i wanted. lesson learned i suppose. i need to be more of a bitch but what a hell of a time to be learning it.
but it couldnt take away from the joy and excitement i was experiencing as each quarter went by and the celtics were still leading but i didnt dare get my hopes up too high until it was in the bag. i so badly had wanted them to win on fathers day and had convinced myself that it was a sign and that it was going to happen that when it didnt, i was crushed and moped about it the entire night. one of my fondest memories when i was growing up was watching the celtics with my dad and twin during the larry bird era and rooting for them and from what i remember it was always a celtics vs lakers matchup and my dad's enthusiam for them rubbed off on me because while i cant say i even knew who the big three were until the playoffs, i just have the fondest memories of time spent watching them with my dad from my childhood.
and seeing them win last night i literally teared up and just thinking about it now i want to tear up again. i cant even do justice to what i was feeling but it was just this pure joy and all these memories that ive either buried away or have lain dormant for a while now came rushing back and at that moment, my only wish was that i was watching it in san diego where i properly belonged and i couldnt even savor or appreciate it the way i wanted to because i was out at a bar with a stranger out of obligation. stupid right? albeit my only saving grace was that i was pretty much texting throughout the entire time and i felt like i was there in spirit.
i know its kind of silly to feel this way about a basketball game but to me, last night meant so much to me and already in this year of self-discovery and personal growth, it only added that much more sweetness to the year i turn 30. curious

pat tillman. ive blogged about him before and if i knew where my archive posts went i would link to it here but ive always admired him for what he did and what he stood for so it would only be hypocritical of me to have never participated in pat's run after years of talking about him and telling people about him when the race is right here in san jose and just a hour drive away.
yesterday was the third annual 4.2 mile pat's run so i found myself getting up bright and early at 6am to make it there on time since i had missed the online registration deadline and having missed the past two years i was very excited to finally be a part of it. the whole event was inspiring as hell. starting from the singing of the star spangled banner to seeing marie tillman, pat's wife up on the tower watching everyone to the quotes and pictures of pat put up all throughout the route and seeing the little kids sitting out on their driveway waving american flags to the cars honking while driving by. it was all so energizing. if this doesnt make you proud to be participating, then i dont know what will.
if someone had told me a year ago that i would be signing up voluntarily for 4 mile runs when i could barely run a block or two back then without stopping i would of thought they were crazy. im still not the greatest now but i was so proud of myself when i finished. my official time was 48:53 which translated into 11:39 a mile which isnt all that fast i know but im a pretty slow runner to begin with. the fastest male finished in 20 min and the fastest women finished in 25 min to give you some perspective but hey rome wasnt built in a day. hopefully my time will only get better from here on.
this was definitely one of the highlights of my week, the other being my kickboxing class on wednesday when three of my favorite teachers of all time showed up to the same class and my head nearly exploded at my excitement. one of them was wearing these nike camouflage high-tops that i loved but it was pretty much the all star kickboxing class of 24 fitness if such a thing exists. but all in all a very good active week and cant wait to try bikram yoga coming up hopefully. curious
