Poker....

If you ever play the game, your realize it can be some terrible ups and downs. I went and played at a friends house the other day. It was funny. He said the way I felt. He was like, "I hate this damn game". "I never want to play again". He swore that he was done playing. How many times I have I said that? Who could count that high? Just nice to see another person that gets frustrated. I have been there so many times. I guess that's how it is when your trying to learn to be good at something.

I remember how it was when I first started grappling. I felt like a retard. I couldn't get my body to do what I wanted it to. Nothing like getting beat up for a year or two. You learn eventually. I just wish I would have another winning streak like I did the other week.

I play for a $12,000 buy in seat Sun. night. I would love to get a free trip to Vegas with a 12k poker game already payed for! Wish me LUCK!!!

Pitbull on the porch.

For those of you that don't know, I live in a weird part of town. Everyone and their grandma has a pitbull. Now, I have nothing against the dogs,however, If your going to own one, Please don't let it run free. I mean, it is a PITBULL after all. Even if it isn't aggressive to humans a lot of times it is toward other animals.

So, I get up and there is a Pitbull just chilling on my front porch. I have two children that have to go to school and get on the bus. Well, my son's bus came and the Pit just followed us out to the bus and jumped in. The dog seemed nice enough. He was friendly and just wanted to be petted. I had to call the animal control people though. I have a dog and I didn't want them to clash. I don't think my dog could take it as my dog is a pussy.

I just wonder why people get dogs if they are not going to take care of them. I don't really like our dog, in fact, somedays I hate her. I wouldn't abuse or mistreat her though. What kind of a human gets a power trip on being mean to a dog. This Pit was dirty, looked like it had not ate in a long time, and it was hurt. You never know about a animal when it is injured. They could bite just out of instinct. At any rate, the dog is gone now. I hope it gets some food before it gets put to sleep. Face it, you go to the animal shelter and the last thing your going to pick out for a new dog is a Pitbull....but who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Nick A Teen

I still crave cigs. I smoked for so many years. I haven't had one in over six years and I still crave them. When I do, I go buy a cigar and puff it. That usually helps me for a bit. Nicotine is so addictive it's not funny. Two people close to my wife have recently died as a direct result of smoking cigs for twenty years. Please stop if you smoke. It would be the best thing you could do for you life.

If you smoke weed. I'm not talking to you as that would be the pot calling the kettle black.

The Pope.

I will be brief.
I am not Catholic.
I don't think a human should be worshipped.
I'm tired of hearing about the pope.
I couldn't give a shit less.
Thanks for your time.

Poison is now country?

So I'm watching the ole' tellee and I see that they have a reality show for county singers. An American Idiol for country western music folk. The final song of the next show is going to be all of them playing "Nothin' but a good time", by the old big hair band, Poison. Now I am no fan of Poison, however, if there are any left, one would think they would find this offensive. Apparently Bret Michaels, the lead singer doesn't mind. He is singing the song with the finalists. Poison has always sucked so it shouldn't be a surprise. It's just funny how times change. Back when I had long hair and wore a big dangling cross earring, who would have thought that Poison would someday be cool for a county singer to cover?

We need new bike seats!!!

I have a taken the bike out of the shed so that the kids and I may go on rides. It is a fun adventure, and very comical. The kids are learning how to ride bikes. My son is not very active and it's one way to get him to go with us and play outside. I don't want him to be a kid that only watches T.V. and gets fatter.

My daughter has got a new bike for christmas and is having a great time getting used to it. It's much bigger than her previous one. I get a kick out of seeing us tool along riding our bikes!

I wish the wife had a bike. We are going to get her one as soon as possible. She needs a three wheeled one with a basket. Then she can "pimp" her ride by decorating it.

Back to my point. I ride a BMX bike. My friend left it at my house a couple of years ago and I have fixed it so that I may ride it. The BMX bike seat used to be so much bigger. I am older now and that seat is tiny. Wild how much it shrank over the years. I'm going to K-mart tomorrow and buying a new seat. I want one with the springs on it. My fat ass can't take riding on this little sliver of seat.

Do you like to sleep as much as me?

I love to sleep. It has to be one of my favorite things to do. I can sleep 12 hours a day, wake up for a few hour, then go back and take a nap. I don't know if that is normal. I thought that you were supposed to get less and less sleep as you grow older. I am the opposite. Maybe I'm just bored. It is really easy to crash when your bored.

I hate when I sleep too much and get that head ache. The one that doesn't hurt real bad, just annoying. I'm sure a lot of people would be like, shut up I don't get anywhere near enough sleep. To them I say, sorry about your luck! Some of us got it good! I do stay up all night patroling my house. I'm paranoid about people in this neighborhood. Since we have moved here, we have had many acts of vandals against our property. You let me catch the little bastards...Just once. That's all it would take. They would never do shit like that again, and I would be in jail.

Maybe I better think this plan out a little more.

Shut up you rude lady!

Just shut the hell up. Yea they have the paddle boats that seat four, however, it doesn't appear that they are letting people use them. So, STFU about it!! She just kept going and going. The girl behind the counter, probably no more than 18, was just telling her over and over she would have to wait.

What makes you so dam special? Everyone should stop what they are doing and cater to your every whim? People can be so demanding and rude. Why give this girl who has no power to help you a hard time? For christ's sake SHE WORKS FOR MINIMUM WAGE!! Cut her some dam slack.

As with anything, I am sure I have done this to people. I am not the kindest person. I can be very short with stupid people. I try not to be, but, I'm sure I'm guilty of it, on occasion.

My wife's aunt.

My wife has another member of her family in critical condition. At age 42. It's so very sad. My wife's mom passed away at 42 also. They both smoke cigs like it's going out of style. Two packs a day. It just goes to show that all those silly commercials are correct. Smoking just means death. It eats you from the inside out. My mom has had double by pass from smoking her entire life. I just hate to see these people leave the earth because they are addicted.

It makes me worried for my own health. I smoke, daily. Not cigs, but still, anyone that kids themselves into thinking that pot smoke isn't harmful is a fool. I know it's harmful, I just have no alternative. I wish I could just take a pill and get the same effect I do from marijuana. I don't want to be another statistic. I'm 31. If I keep smoking will I end up with major brain clots? I sure hope not. I'm going to find a way to quit. MJ. is the only drug that I have ever taken that has "evened" me out. I used to be on various psycho drugs, but, they didn't work. I must find a alternative, or face the consequences.

No fate but what you make.

My generic Tatoo's.

I have the most ghetto tats of any man. I have one on my hand that says my name. I thought this would be cool at age 12. I was a big OZZY fan and he has it on this left hand. Boy was I ever wrong. Then, when I got older, I thought that I would get a tat of Nine Inch Nails emblem on my leg. That didn't turn out to good either. I grew to not like NIN at all and had it covered up. Now I have a big rectangle on my calf. I have had two and regret both of then.

The moral of the story, Don't get Tat's that you may live to regret.

And that is all.

My daughter and her racial slurs.

So, my daughter, said a very bad thing. She called her brother a "nigger". Oh my god, I about fell out. I wasn't there(good thing). My wife told me about this later on.

My daughter is not known to cuss. In fact, she doesn't like any bad words or even joking about kissing. She is very straight edge and that is why this came as such a shock to me. She is only 7, by the way.

When I asked her why, she said she didn't know. She just heard the word and it came out.

Then you have to question the source. Guess what, I listen to rap/gangsta music. The word "nigga" is repeated over and over. Of course my daughter hears me singing along with the songs and thinks that since she has never heard "nigga" made out to be a cuss word, it is somehow ok to say.

I then attempt to explain to her the intricacies of the word. I tell her you should never say "nigger". It is a bad thing as it refers to a time when black Americans where thought to be below their fellow man. All men are equal and that word should not be said.

Then, I have to try and explain why all the black guys in my songs say it over and over. I try to tell her that the word "nigga" is what black people call each other. I then try to have her understand why that word isn't ok to say either. Somehow when you say it "nigga", it's ok. I don't get it, but it's not part of my history/culture.

I certainly don't want my kids growing up thinking or saying racial things.

What is the right answer here?

My birthday is here yet again.

It's always the same time of year for my birthday. No matter how hard I try to forget it, it always rears it's ugly head. So now I'm 31. That's right, old and decrepit. I only feel older after a hard workout. My body just doesn't do what it used to.


I did get a pretty awesome present. Most people wouldn't think so, but I do. My wife, the best woman in the world, got me the perfect gift. She got me a weedeater. I have wanted on for about two years or more. So, now I have a brand new one! I'm so excited. She is such a bad ass woman! I can't wait to put this thing together. I'm actually looking forward to mowing the yard. I'm sure that will fade after one session of mowing. I hate that chore. Once a week I have to go out there and battle our yard. I have a giant hill for a front yard and it can make mowing quite a difficult challenge.
