Just a few thoughts!!

It has been a while since I have posted anything. So much has happened; Hope is growing like a weed, Ashely Force became the first woman to win a National event in funny car (the national media ignored her), and the democrats are about to implode!! That whole bit about what President Bush said in Israel about compromising with terrorist was right on the money. It was not an attack on Senator Obama's views on how to deal with terrorists. With all that being said, the next big thing is to watch the Spurs finally win in New Orleans, if they play like they did in game 6 it will only be a matter of time. Well that's about it.

Spurs

What can I really say about the first round, except I am glad to be finished with the Phoenix Suns. During this series I made it a habit to read the comments of their fans, they are still blaming Robert Horry, which really confuses me. Last year outside that game where he hip checked Steve Nash, the Suns had other opportunities to win and didn't. All of that is really ancient history. Listening to the announcers you think the Suns were up 3 to 1. I just knew they all had money on the Suns. The refs wanted to give the game to the Suns, they just wouldn't take it. I saw so many fouls on the Suns that were just blown of and chalked up to incidental contact, but when the Spurs would breath the same air as Steve Nash or Boris Diaw, call a foul. I don't want to sound like sour grapes after the fact but I just call them like I see them.

Now it on to what I beleive a much tougher opponent, the Hornets, Chris Paul is playing great ball. At least we don't so much of History with NO.

Money is Overrated!

Yeah I know but try to live without it. On 14 Nov 2007, my life changed and it will never be the same. No, I didn't find Jesus, we have been in touch, I became the father of a daughter. I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I have 2 terrific sons, both are gentlemen, and i love them with all my heart. However, I feel like there has been this change in my life that only Fathers of daughters can understand. It is best feeling I think I have ever had. I guess if you just listen to Rodney Atkins "Cleaning this Gun", you will understand. It is now my favorite song. I can't wait until they get home later today. it is going to be awesome. I asked my wife if anything could make her happier and she said no. I said even a million dollars. She said she had that right there in her arms! Life is awesome. He is a picture and I think she is the most beautiful little girl in the world.

So much is goin on!

I hope I am able to communicate my thoughts. I feel like I am living in a stream of consciousness. You know where one thing doesn't have anything to with anything else. First of all Hope's birthday has been put off until 14 Nov. 2007. Which really put me in a pickle because I had already, requested certain days off at work and everything was pretty much set. Then the Dr. decided oh I have overbooked my day on the 12th so we need to put you off until the 14th. So that has been a source of stress. Then he decided Barb needs to be on bed rest. Which I have been wondering why they didn't to this like a month ago. With all of this going on about 2 weeks ago my Mom fell and broke her hip, she live like 400 miles away. I never could get to talk to her until today. She is doing fine and all. In a rehab center. I can't just get in the car and go see her because Barb could pop at any moment. Then my exxxxxxxxxxxx-wife is playing games with my youngest son, which just gets under my skin. I could care less how it affects her, but I get to explain to him that his mother is not going to pick him up again. To his credit he would rather hang out here with us anyway. It's her loss. Then there is work which is always a source of stress, since I work with about 6 or 7 people who all have multiple personalities. Like Forrest said "It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get". I am not complaining, just need to vent a little. I feel much better now. Now only if Tony Pedergon would DNQ this weekend, the last weekend of Drag Racing that would be a beautiful thing.

O"Reilly Fall Nationals!!!

First of all I was there!! I saw a blast of smoke and dust when John and Kenny wrecked! They will both be back, you can go to Vegas on that! The following is what is in my craw right now!!

I really dig John Force!! He is the best ambassador for his sport, and he should be an example to all other athletes on how to carry him in the public eye!! I’m not saying he is a saint by any means. So with being said lets throw a few prayers out to the Force Family, Force Team and for John to return to his old self. This team has gone through every emotion I can think of this year. Now my big beef is with the media in general, the only reason that anyone on TV is talking about NHRA is because of yesterday’s wreck. And that alone really, well I would like to use a bunch of expletives here but I will refrain. NHRA Drag Racing is the most exciting sport out there. I would rather go to INDY than the Super bowl with Box Seats! There is not a sport where you can get close to your heroes as NHRA. There is not a sport that even gives any attention to the fans as NHRA. If you went to a NASCAR race can you get a picture with your favorite driver, highly doubtful. Only if you know someone, who knows someone, who has a brother-in-law who has a friend that might be willing to introduce you to the ….well you get the point. If it was up to me those round and round guys would be tape delayed and NHRA would be live!!

Sunday is the day!!!

Oh man Sunday is the day I have been waiting on for a year!! The O'Reilly Fall Nationals are underway as we speak. The eliminations are just like 1 day and a few hours away!! So much going on. I just found out that one of our heroes back from Iraq was discriminated against at Fiesta Texas, they called him cripple and would let him ride a ride!! All I have to say is just sign the check Fiesta Texas and he can fill out the rest. The baby is really moving around and it won't be long. I am so looking forward to this!! Can't wait to be the Daddy of a little girl!! Oh by the way it's less than 190 days till the Spring nationals in Houston!!

Only about 9 more Days

Well, only about 9 days till the O'Reilly Fall Nationals!!! I am stoked about going. The other day, I could have swore I smelled nitromethane!! And seeing Ashely Force on Leno the other was cool! Not much else going on. Amazingly enough I really don't have much to say right now. I did get a new digital camera and will be posting the pictures from the race soon after I get back.
