But I Can't Stop Hating LeBron James

Okay, I get it. I am one of the millions that just can't seem to let go of my hatred for LBJ (the basketball player, not the former president for clarification). I pulled for the Spurs, not because I'm a Tony Parker fan but because I'm an anti-Heat fan. Who did I want to win the NBA championship? Anyone but the Heat.

The day after LeBron's second ring, so much "stop hating LeBron" content is littering the Internet. And you know what I say to that? No, I will not stop my ill feelings towards him.

Sure, I do think he's working on his image. I mean the commercials his picking to be in are really trying to paint him as a nice guy. I'm not buying it.

Why you ask? What grown man has a "coming out" party when he joins a basketball team? LeBron does. A spectacle that will forever keep him labeled in my "Douchey" category. Sure, Dwayne and Bosh were a part of it, I'm not their biggest fans either. How can a grown man go up on a stage in a televised event just because he switched NBA teams? I mean come on people, that's ridiculous. Am-I-right?!

So to all you LeBron lovers, you live your life and I'll live mine. But don't tell me to stop hating on LeBron. Because that's just impossible.

Reality TV Shows: Buckwild

Sometimes I even judge myself for the caliber of television shows that I watch. I am a reality junkie who enjoys mindless hours of Real Housewives and Jersey Shore. These days, I've graduated from MTV and indulge mostly in Bravo. Yet, last night I slipped into the horrible abyss that is "Buckwild".

I wasn't planning on this to happen. I was watching NCIS and all of a sudden clicked down a channel to MTV. What was on? I'm still not even sure what it was, but Buckwild was the name. The first couple of minutes had to be scripted, badly scripted at that. And MTV plans on this show filling the Jersey Shore hole?

Didn't catch it? Here's a recap: underaged West Virginia kids who do stereotypical redneck things.

Some Buckwild quotes:

• "Muddin'" 
• "Justin Beaver" 
• "I don't even have to drive into the city to get my flirt on."

I'm sorry West Virginia that this show is associated with you. I'm just thankful it didn't take place in Louisiana. Dodged that bullet. I'm predicting this will be cut after one season (if it makes it that far).

Happy Holidays from a Working Girl

Working on the Friday before a holiday week is torture in the most inhumane way. Only way to survive is to plug in the Lady Gaga Pandora station and try not to stare longingly at the clock.

If you're at work right now here's a list of things you're probably doing to make it to 5 o'clock

1. Social media - as if you don't do that everyday
2. Participating in an office-wide gif e-mail battle. You know the e-mails that never end due to people posting random/funny gifs they find. 
3. Going to bathroom or getting water. That wastes a good couple of minutes. 
4. Refreshing your mail and getting nothing new. Duh! Everyone else is already on the holiday break. 
5. Thinking about the alcohol you will consume once the bell tolls 5. 

As a fellow working girl, have a very pc Happy Holidays!

Gift Giving Guide for Guys

So here we are. The holiday season is in fully swing, and the credit cards are swiping right along. I dread present selection for the holidays. Why you ask? Because boys are impossible to buy for. Their presents are boring, and I get tired of always giving my boyfriend a shirt. Practical and predictable. Where's the fun in that?

Here's a quick cheat sheet of ideas I've garnered for my own needs. I am sharing with all those lost and confused females that aimlessly wander up and down the aisles of Academy in search of something.

• Video games ($50) - While some are a little pricey, I know my boyfriend becomes gaming-obsessed during his free time. Don't know what game the guy in your life would like? They really do have a game for everything. Sports, fantasy, war. Call of Duty and Assassins Creed are two very popular options. 
• Cologne ($50-$55) - This present is a little riskier. It's hard to guess fragrance for guys, and I've come to learn that all men are extremely particular. Yet, if you feel confident, go for it! Not to mention you'll benefit from it also. Soak in the musky aroma. 
• Ball Caps ($15) - Every guy could use a ball cap. Think it's a little generic? You can always get it customized by a shop at your local mall or online!
• Beer Brewing (varies) - For men of legal drinking age, what better gift than beer. Not only is it probably one of his favorite past times, but he'll feel important since he's the one in control of his brew. I purchased the Beer Machine in the past, and it really works great!
• Sporting tickets (varies) - Whether to a minor league baseball game or an NBA game, sporting events are a great gift idea. Not to mention, if you get two, you'll get to go! Look at it as a different way to spend some time together.

Well that's the list to get your idea train started. Let me know if you have any great ideas! I'm always looking for new guy presents. Why can't they just be easy and like nail polish?
