26 Days

It is only 26 days till the O'Reilly Fall Nationals. It seems only like yesterday we were coming back from the O'Reilly Spring Nationals. So much has changed, it is only about 90 days from when I will be holding my newest family member, Hope Raegan Turner! That is much more exciting than any Drag race. That does not in any way mean I will not enjoy the Drag Races, I can't wait. This time I have a new digital camera so I can load the pics up the day I get back. It has a pretty good zoom on it as well. I hope I get to at least get a Picture of John and Ashely. That would be so cool. Tyler started 3rd grade today. I was telling Barb, that it just seemed like yesterday he was going to kindergarten. I guess tomorrow Hope will be off to school and the day after tomorrow Tyler will be graduating high school. Time flies when you have such a blessed life like I do.

What I believe!

Things have been going great lately, with the exception of some little bumps with my little brother. I have been thinking about stuff that really makes me get up in the morning or afternoon since I work at night. So here we go!
I believe:
1. That NASCAR commentators should banned from using the term "Drag Race". At no point ina 500 mile race is it a drag race. There is no christmas tree, no water box and more inpotantly only 800 horse power.
2. That NHRA should be on live TV every weekend and they should tape delay NASCAR!
3. RN's should stay the hell out of my way!
4. My wife is beautiful and when I tell her she agrees with me, that is not a bad thing!
5. Don't try to convince me to buy a rice burner when I want American Made Steel (Harley).
6. Barry Bonds should be banned from baseball for the rest of his existence and Pete Rose should be in the Hall.
7. Baseball in general should be discontinued period, they pissed me off in 1994 and I have never gotten over it.
8. Ashely Force is the hottest woman in sports period, if you are reading this go vote for her. This is the link http://sports.aol.com/photos/hottestathletes/women
9. I hate when they rerun shows they have just shown like a week ago. I know the reruns are necessary, but dig back like 6 months ago.
10. Finally (for now), I believe that tattoos are sexy on women. I am a conservative and I think all you stuffed shirts need to get over it.

I'm just an LVN! (Apparently I will stay an LVN)

I have spent the last 2 months looking for loans, scholarships or other means to pay for school. So, I can finish my BSN degree. I am registered for school this fall. i got the bill today. I will probably end up having to drop out because I am having a time finding funding for this. I not asking for a handout. I don't qualify for a pell grant and most people can't believe that. I guess I'm the only one who can't get one. There are reasons I am suspicious for why I can't get one. If I could get a loan to finish school, the Civil Service department can actually pay it back. I am a Civil Service LVN at BAMC. Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that if I am supposed to be a RN then it will happen. If not then I'll just be an LVN.

Memorial Day!

As anyone who knows me, knows first and foremost I support the War in Iraq and Afghanistan, for this reason, either we do it there or we do it here. I prefer there. I am not a combat vet, I did serve during the first Gulf War. I wish we had finished this then, the politics were a little different. Now I read those who have served during the current War in Iraq and Afghanistan, they have intimate knowledge. I read Blackfive, they know and they know people who are there right now. I depend on what they have to say about it more than i ever would CNN or even Fox news. I found on their site a very interesting you tube video, you can go there and decide for yourself. Find it here. Anyway let me know your thoughts.

Man what can I say?

John Force is just 6 rounds out of the top 8 for Countdown. The way he has been performing is really getting old though. I know that as a 14 time champ he has to bring it harder every year, but at some point I think you have to go back to your tried and true system for winning. The next 6 races will be very interesting, they are back to back. With not too much time to test between races they will be forced to just go with what brung them.

Now about the San Antonio Spurs, everyone here in San Antonio are absoulutely stoked about the 4 championship in 9 years. Some are even calling it a dynasty. I think Tony Parker said best on Letterman tonite "we need the back to back before we can really talk about a dynasty." I really agree with him.

The eve of a fourth Championship!

Well it has been a long time since I have posted I mean Steve Nash is all rested up and his tears have dried up, everyone is now calling the Spurs boring, when 1 month ago they were dirty. People just cannot stick to their story. Do I dare get out my broom, well yes and no. I really think it will be over tomorrow. I will not be disappointed if the Cavs can actually pull one out. They will just be postponing the inevitable. I have said all season there is not a team in the NBA who can outlast the Spurs in a 7 game series. Even when the were not playing that well back in December and January, I said that. I knew they would get it together. They had the best record after the All-Star break. All i have to say is Go Spurs Go!!!

Now to more important matters. John Force is really struggling. The next nine weeks will be very interesting in Drag Racing. John really needs to pull a couple of wins. Hopefully in these next 9 weeks Ashely will get a win or 2. Robert Hight is still second in the points even after he DNQ last week. Brandon Bernstein dropped to second when he didn't qualify last week as well. Also, he is not someone to be too worried about. He has had the most consistent dragster in Top Fuel this year. As long as Tony Shumacher continues to lose in early rounds all is good. I would love to see him DNQ.

Go Spurs Go!!

Now it is time to hear all the people who proclaimed the Spurs as a dirty team, the NBA commissioner as helping them out and all that. Let me point out a few things the Suns had their chances to win this series, they lost game 1 at home, what was the excuse oh Tony Parker's head got in the way of Steve Nash's nose, and they couldn't stop the bleeding. Then there was the infamous game 4 where yeah I'll give you that Robert Horry shouldn't have done what he did, oh and wasn't he punished for that, I believe he was. And so were Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw and by the rules for their part in that. Don't blame Robert Horry for them leaving the bench. He didn't make them leave their bench. Of course in the mind of all Sun's fans worldwide he did, have control of them. I believe they were in control of their own body parts. So, let the excuses fly Sun's fan. Spurs fan will just move on to the next round.
