The Beginning of a New Carrie

I want to be a lot of things.. every time I see someone being something I'm not, I get really pissed.

...a dancer..a politician..a mountain biker...

The jealousy has gotten to be a little unbearable.. so I figured.. why not just be those things you want to be??

So, I'm gonna. Starting now.

But I can't do it all at once, so I'll start small (only not so small at all, because the firsts will be a challenge..you'll see why..).

I'm going to make myself into an NBA fan. Yup. This is a big deal, if you know me at all, because I tend to hate overpaid, arrogant assholes.......... which seems to define many of those involved in the NBA, at least through my lens. But I have this husband who loves this sport (and too many others..) and he's sorta pursuing this whole b-ball coaching thing, so I figured it's join or die. And now's the time.

So...who is it going to be?? Which team?? I asked the Hubs & he denied me of Bron-Bron, suggesting I be a home team follower--The Pacers. My reply was that I've always hated their colors...but alright...I'll do it.

Their first game being tonight at 7, I suppose I'm going to start out as a pretty crappy fan, as I won't be watching it due to class (that's a reasonable excuse, though, no?). Unfortunately, Hubs just suggested he record the stupid game on our stupid DVR (hate that thing sometimes..) so now I have to actually do this thing.

This is the beginning of a new Carrie.

(more on this later..)
