Dear Diary,

I am so over my old man crush (someone at least 18 years older).  I'm feeling nothing anymore beyond friendship.  And you know, it's because I know more about him.  The mystery's gone!  That was the fun of it -- liking the little I knew and knowing that nothing would happen.  

One loss there, but a gain in the sports department -- I've always liked the Vikings and now I like them even more.  I went to my first game last week.  There's something about being at the game that's so invigorating -- an excitement that doesn't translate over the TV.  Most of all, I found, I'm a fan of the fans.  Yeah, there's was a game going on with 100+ guys on each team running around in spandex with the extra broad shoulders.  But for me, the real action's in the stands.  The fans were nice and really into it (and it was a preseason game!).

I felt like I was in Boston at Fenway stadium.  I'd try to get tickets whenever I could; there's nothing like being in the stands yelling "Yankee's suck!" as loud as you can no matter which team the Sox were playing. 

I felt right at home at the Target Center.  I can't wait to see another game.  It was nice to let loose, drink a little and root on the Vikings.  Also, if I was a single lady, it's a great place to meet some cute guys!

Love,

Dear Diary,

Wow! Just watched Comedy Central's Roast of Flavor Flav and it was pretty funny and brutal!

Roasters Snoop Dogg, Lisa Lampanelli, Ice T, Patton Oswalt, Jimmy Kimmel, Carrot Top, Greg Giraldo and Roast Master Katt Williams made fun of Flav's clock necklaces, how many kids he has, how he started off as a political rapper and now is a reality show "whore" and his yeeeeeeeeah booooooys.

He was a good sport about it all. But I feel bad for Carrot Top -- the frizzy red headed comedian who makes his own props. It's also pretty obvious that he's joined the Knifestyles of the Rich and Famous crowd. His face looks tighter and odd.

The first roaster, Greg Girald, said he looks "retarded," and asked him if his plastic surgeon gave him an extra chromosome. Katt Williams said that he's what would result if "Ronald McDonald f'd Wendy" (okay, that was kind of funny). Most of the jokes about him were related to his plastic surgery and how muscular he is now.

After all the previous roasters ripped Carrot Top a new one, he tried to get up there and rip on them. He tanked. At first he didn't use his props, just notes. When he started using the props, he got a little better. At one point, he jokingly said he wished he was as "f'd up as Snoop Dogg" and I couldn't help but believe him!

What was Carrot Top doing there? Who told him that was a good idea? And why wasn't he prepared and have kick ass jokes?

After the first few roasters cracked jokes about him, he just sit there staring blankly -- hiding behind that curly mess (is that hair real?) and new face.

He did put himself in the position to get blasted by the others, like they did. That's the point of a roast. But unlike the others, he didn't seem to brush off the jokes/insults as easily. Brutal, bold, in-your-face comedy isn't his style; I hope he's okay.

Love,

Princess
