Happy Valentine's Day and reminiscing of my '05 Birthday

Today on Valentine's Day I decided to reminisce about last year's birthday gift I got from Kami. It was an interesting time in our lives. We just came off a very emotional and dramatic AVN convention as well as some lean times with work. But Kami came to Los Angeles for my birthday. Even though money wise she was strapped she managed to buy me some amazing gifts. It's weird, we are both such die hard fans we wind up buying each other football stuff all the time.
Last Christmas she got me a Marvin Harrison jersey which I cherish and actually brought with me to last year's convention. This Christmas she hooked a brotha up with a Polamalu jersey and bunch of other Steeler gear.

For my birthday last year she arrived with a Steve Young USFL LA Express jersey. Damn any girlfriend who buys her boyfriend a USFL jersey is beyond a keeper. She also got us two tickets to the LA Avengers Arena Football League game. Great seats 5 rows from the field.

I remember that night as if it was yesterday. I was very sick but so thrilled for the night at hand. we first went to a glass toy store opening where her friend Flower Tucci was signing. The cool thing was as we entered the store and Kami ran off with Flower, a guy approached me from the street. He spotted us driving and recognized Kami. That was impressive of him to spot her like that. She took some pics. with him and other fans then we headed for the game.
The game was awesome as the Avengers spanked Tampa Bay Storm with a underlining story-line. Two players on LA played last year for Tampa Bay and were given fake gold Championship rings by the Storm's coach/general manager. The whole week leading up to it was dramatic with plenty of shit talking. The two players got their revenge and eventually the proper rings, while this coach was reprimanded by the league.

Avengers 59, Storm 28

Between plays or possessions the big screen does this kiss-cam thing and guess who was thrown into the limelight in front of 17,000 strong. That's right, we had to show them all how the Kiss-Cam works and made-out in front of all the women and children plus all those jealous dudes. After the game I bought Kami a football and she had most of the team sign it for her. It was a great gift and a great night.


A great memory for sure. Happy Valentines to everyone, especially to my girly Kami. :)
