brooklyn nine nine – Organized Chaos

Alright folks, it’s about that time!

It’s about that time for everyone’s favorite holiday. That’s right – it’s Valentine’s Day.

Everyone loves it, right?

Haha, probably not. I personally don’t have a problem with the holiday, but I think we can all agree that V-Day is better when you’re young. I distinctly remember choosing Spongebob valentines one year and then being really choosy about which person got what.

Let’s just say if you got a Plankton one, you should steer clear of me in the hallway because you were not a friend.

And if you got an actual Spongebob one, then you earned a spot next to me at the lunch table.

Haha, kidding on that last one. I most certainly wasn’t a popular person in elementary school; but I did have the variety pack of crayons so you can say that ya girl wasn’t lacking.

Anywho, Valentine’s Day is definitely a lot different now. Right now, if you’re an actual adult (not just a pretend-functioning one like I am), you don’t really pay the holiday much attention.

If you’re someone starting in a new relationship, then you’re probably using the 14th as an opportunity to see how much longer you’re going to be with that significant other before you’re at their doorstep demanding chocolates and a heart-shaped box of chicken minis from Chick-fil-A.

If you’re someone that’s been in a relationship for quite a while, you’re possibly just going to agree to skip this holiday since you’re busy and give it another go next year.

If you’re single, and somewhat ready to mingle, then you’re probably going to buy that heart-shaped pizza from Papa John’s and binge watch Brooklyn 99 by yourself or with your best friends.

(Maybe so? I’ve lost touch with what the cool kids are doing these days)

Either way, different people are going to find their own way to enjoy or ignore this holiday.

Do what you want to do. I personally think that binge watching anything is the way to go. I’m not gonna say that Brooklyn 99 or Rick & Morty are my top choices, but I’m also not not saying it (how many double negatives did you count in that bad boy?).

And let’s face it. Anything heart-shaped is my choice of food. I would eat a salad if it were in the shape of a heart.

Just kidding. Everyone knows my personal boycott with lettuce that I absolutely REFUSE to budge on. It’s basically water and water is for drinking!!

But I digress.

Anyway, enjoy this upcoming holiday however you choose.

Working, dancing, watching a movie, or, and this one is my personal favorite, eating. Do you.

But I think we can all take a little tip from Junie B. Jones and her Valentine’s Day experience. Whether we’re giving Mrs. a headache or picking on our crush Jim, this is going to be the best ValentiMe’s Day ever.

I’ve also been told that Olive Garden is doing breadstick bouquets for the holiday so if nothing else is going to make you happy on this day, better hop on that Italian Stallion.

I have witnessed a crime everyone, and I’d like to report myself.

That’s right. I, Jazmyn, have recently discovered the wonder and humor that is Brooklyn Nine Nine, and there’s no turning back.

I’ve always been in love with Andy Samberg since he was in The Lonely Island, and it’s great seeing him actually act in something.

And, it’s even better that he is actually HILARIOUS.

I’m not a fan of any singer also trying to act, especially if it’s Beyonce.

I’m sorry for anyone into her; homegirl is dope. But she cannot act.

ANYWAY.

Terry Crews is hilarious, and I thought he had done his best in White Chicks while he was turning out the sun. But, somehow he got better.

How does everyone not want to be Rosa’s best friend?

And Santiago? If she and Jake don’t end up together, I’m fighting SOMEONE. Their little fake date that they had where you could low-key tell that Jake was enjoying IT? Um, I’m not saying that it had to be foreshadowing, but it most certainly has to or there is no good in the world.

I’m currently breezing through it and there’s no stopping me. It is my absolute goal to finish the entire series before the new year starts so I can watch the new season that’s coming on.

But COME ON.

How has no one told me about the beauty of this show before now? How has no one told me how hilarious it is? I could’ve been yelling “Nine Nine” for no specific reason for years before now!

And don’t even get me started on the captain. I have never met someone I wanted to be friends with that has zero emotion.

Anyone that knows me know that if it’s anything that I have too much of, it’s emotion (perks of me being emotionally unstable). So the fact that I actually enjoy the captain, his sayings, and his facial expressions is actually pretty interesting.

I just finished the first season this morning, and if I could afford to take vacation days off work for the next week to finish watching this series, I most certainly would. And I sincerely hope that none of my bosses are reading this.

So I’m going to continue enjoying Gina insulting Boyle, Rosa’s surprise smile every now and then, and Terry’s spontaneous outbursts.

NINE NINE
