"They tried to make me go to rehab but i said no, no, no
yes i've been black but when i come back you'll know know know......"
well not quite. that's not quite how it went for me. i actually gladly am going to rehab, but who can resist the hook of this amy winehouse song. how crazy is it that she can convince us all that going to a rehabilitation center for abusing a seriously harmful narcotic like crack cocaine is not only unnecessary but also absurd?! Crazy...maybe a reflection of our how unusual and twisted our society can be, but i think that's something to explore for a different day. see how random i can be?? this is a preview of whats to come!
anyway, moving on....hello everyone! this is my first post for my blog and i am ultra excited! there is so much going on in my life right now, but for the first time in like 4 months i'm actually able to stay (for the most part) in one spot and its hard to believe that i've just completed my rookie season for the minnesota lynx! first and foremost i want to thank ALL of you guys out there that have supported me through my college and now pro career!! with the final four and the quick transition to the WNBA i feel like i've accomplished life long dreams in a matter of a couple of months and i can truly say that this whole experience has been the biggest blessing i could ever imagine. the video that i've attached summarizes the year i've had, and it's been literally a dream come true to accomplish all that i have in such a short time.
"i'm sorry america...."

ok let me just take a brief second to address the infamous "i'm sorry america" line that garnered all this attention. so i'm getting interviewed, and first of all they pulled me right after the horn blew so i don't even think i was realizing that we won the game and were in fact going to tampa bay to compete in the final four until mid interview. and then all of a sudden it hits me and all i want to do is start crying because i am so astonished and overcome with bewilderment that i don't even know what to say! lol, then i start thinking to myself "candice what are you doing? people are at home laughing at you right now because you look like a big baby", which is when i rationalized in my head to apologize to the viewers at home watching this ridiculousness. and of course i address the viewers as "america" that way i cover everyone. now i look back and see that i was thinking way too much, but i'm really glad that people got to see my raw passion for accomplishing a goal that took 4 years to achieve.
there's so much more to discuss...i don't even know where to start. i have plenty of topics so please stay tuned!! coming up are intricate discussion about the white stripe's new album, dr. dre and the state of west coast hip hop, the new jay-z song, gossip girl and project runway, and my all time favorite jean-makers Miss Sixty.....until then,
xoxo
