1500th Post

Eegads, I have been doing this for 1500 times?...about 5 years , I guess...can't believe that some of you have stayed with me that long...or that any of you have... satire mostly ...thought about doing the money thinger with it...but no... it's just a hobby and a way to get things off my chest ...and hope it brightens up your day some... the politics?...revolving door of money grabbing peops, who almost always start for the right reason...and then get hooked up with lobbyists and get territorial and $ sensitive...and then eventually, turn into one themselves, once they get voted off the island ... the entertainment people?...the good looking ones, the want to be good looking, and the ones like me...get paid way too much for acting...not enough for singing...and way too much to stay youngish ... the sports peop?...unbelievable amounts of cash for doing a thing they'd do for near free...and given at such a young age...and spend like crazy in their 20's....and when the...

I am not a fan of the NBA coaching ...figure it's more of baby sitting very rich dudes...er, blokes...and much like baseball, more a managing job...what I'm getting to is the end of the Heat/Pacer game...where chaos rules ...regardless of any level of hoopdom...unless...you come out of a time out...I'll set the scene...Indiana had just taken the lead on a 3 point set of free throws...2.2 sec left for Miami...and for some reason, the Pacer coach takes out his shot blocking center...which he did on another situation earlier...to match up speed wise...stupid...take your advantage and give it to them...then...allow the inbounds to go directly to LeBron...right then I would have hit him...if HE is going to beat me...it must be from the FT line...not on a driving lay up...as HE did...without the shot blocker on the floor to guard the hoop...bad... very bad ...er, good for the Heat... This Boston Bomber situation continues to grow...as it must...the FBI ran down a lead in ...

42

What?...get this...I picked up my golf cart...at Sycuan...we teed off at 8: 42 am....and the number of the cart is 42 ...and after my round...my scores were... 42 on the front...42 on the back...what?...and finished at 12: 42 ...I can't make this stuff up... It was great to see the country sanger, Kellie Pickler , win the Dancing With The Stars thinger ....with her mate, Derek Hough...it was close, apparently...as this show, too, doesn't give the actual tallies...booo....geez, that bugs me... The Pads got smashed last night...like 9-2 or so...I can't think of anything positive to say...so...let's move on to tonight...as we have our youngin, Burch Smith, trying it again...and St Looey is going with a rook, too...do not bet on this game... Have to admit that I like to see the Grizzles lose...I don't like ZBo much...as he ripped off PDX when he was there...if there was a jump ball between him and Duncan it would be a 2 incher...the Heat finally play tonig...

Natural Disaster

Good morning kids...if this is your first stop here...welcome... Most of my daily thoughts get lost when such a disaster like a tornado touches down...yesterday in Oklahoma...an area called "tornado alley" ...a horrible phenomena where the winds of the gulf, meet that of the north, and the surge of the west heat...and the twisters are created and last in such a quick and deadly form...there are grades of severity...and the worst sucks you out of whatever you have as prevention...absolutely the most scary thing... The numbers of those who lost their lives is sketchy...no power...and the rubble left behind...well...the peoples are looking for the survivors... The length of time is much more than I would think...like 20 minutes or so...and the width of approx 2 miles...oh my...devastating... OK, the other stuff... The Padres have won their 3rd in a row...starting off the 1st set with the Cards...I think the best part of this team is the defense...especially the remarkab...

State of Music

Image
Back when I coached...like this is ancient history now...I would have a state of the union address in the last week of the season...and I need to do the same for the STATE OF MUSIC ...as it is...as witnessed in last night's Billboard's Music Awards ...and quite frankly, the rest of these types of award shows in the past year...it's a mess...I repeat, a mess...I understand the fads of rap, disco, country, teeny bop, and the list goes on...I get that...but what I don't get is non-talent that is famous...and make $ due to the production of whatever they have... I get the beat...the danceable stuff...and there is a bunch of it out there...it drives the dance halls...that's cool...but eventually, some body has got to sing...and actually carry a tune...the people will drive out the fakes... I am amazed that peoples like the Bieb can endure the spotlight as long as he has ...well, he is one of them that will fall on his face...and you know how the media will love this......
