Spring Is Here! (Sort of)
Spring Training begins soon, and we’ll see how my Baltimore Orioles will do. Competing in the AL East, probably MLB’s toughest division isn’t easy when you have 18 games a season each with the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, And Blue Jays, teams with some of the game’s best players ( Jeter, Ortiz, Longoria, Bautista among them) . But the O’s aren’t bad either. Can Chris Davis have another monster season? Can Tommy Hunter succeed as the closer? Who will be the last starter after Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez, Wei-Yin Chen, and Bud Norris? Will they be able to resign Matt Weiters and JJ Hardy before they hit free agency next year? And several other questions…

No Free Lunch
This episode in a Utah elementary school, where several students had their lunches taken away from them and thrown away because their accounts were low or at negative balance could have been handled better on both sides. First off, perhaps the lunch line could be rearranged, with the students having their cards checked to see if they had enough funds on them. We know that it’s policy that the food had to be thrown away, as unseemly as it looks. And on the kids/parents side, did they really need to go on TV?

Getting A Project Out Of Mothballs
A few years ago, I started writing a mystery story. It was supposed to be a murder mystery based on my experiences in school. The main character was supposed to be on the run after being set up for the murder of one of his tormentors. Well, after a few years of gathering dust, I think I’ll work on it again, and let you all know if I made any progress.

Let’s Not Forget….
What Christmas is all about: the birth of Jesus! What would you have done if you were one of the first people to hear about it? Would you have been overjoyed by the news of the birth of the Savior, or would you have thought “What, a child is our King?”

A True Story
Back in 1998, my Mom and Dad got into a stupid fight…about a pizza. He didn’t like it, she got mad, and shouting started. Dad the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do..He took a bag of his clothes, threw them in the yard, and burned them. OVER A PIZZA!?

Justice Served?
However you feel about the verdict in the George Zimmernan trial, the one thing you must remember is that the American system of Justice played itself out as it was designed too. Mr. Zimmerman was given a trial by a jury of his peers, and the Prosecution failed to prove their case. For those of you who are not satisfied with the verdict, please keep calm, and show your disappointment in peaceful ways, don’t start riots or any other means of violence. There were no winners in this case. There is a 17 year old boy who has lost his life, leaving behind grieving parents, and Mr. Zimmerman’s life will never be the same again.

Paula Deen-A Case Of Foot In Mouth Disease
What is your opinion of Paula Deen being fired by the Food Network for her admission that she used the N word and wanted to make a plantation era party complete with black men dressed as servants? One the one hand, she is a 60 plus year old Daughter of the South, growing up during the beginnings of the Civil Rights era, and probably picked up some of the language from her parents. On the other hand, she probably should have did a bit of thinking before she spoke. We don’t know what’s in her heart, so we have to believe that her apology is sincere. Hopefully this will make her a better person in the end.

Seeing That It’s Prom And Graduation Season….
makes me realize just how truly much I hated school. Not because of the subject matter, but because of the people. I was picked on non stop because of my weight from beginning to end. I had no friends, no one, not even teachers, stood up and tried to help me, which I consider just to be just as bad. I was alone and on my own, not being able to do what school kids do. I wasn’t able to go to school dances, never had a girlfriend, never got to go to the prom, or have friends to hang with. A guy asked me In maybe 9th grade “Why are you so smart? is all you do stay at home and read?” well yeah, when no one wants anything to do with you, what else is there to do? My parents had to drag me kicking and screaming to graduation because 1: I didn’t wanna dress up since fat people don’t do good in a suit and 2: Why would I want to be around those scumbags any longer then needed? It was a stupid piece of paper for goodness’ sake! Thank God it’s over, I don’t think I could handle much more of it!

Keeping It All In
Yes as some of you frequent readers of this blog may have deduced, I am in love with my best friend. I have been in love with Nicie since I don’t know how long. She’s helped me through so much, I don’t know if I could ever repay her. Now if she would just get it through her head that my feelings are real…..

Stay Classy Fans!
For those of you who are fans of The Vampire Diaries and sent Phoebe Tonkin nasty messages and death threats:
LEAVE HER ALONE! just because something you didn’t like (her character Hayley becoming pregnant by Klaus),and you’re hardline Klaroline wishers doesn’t mean you have to act like a bunch of jerks! She has no input into what the show writers do!

People Have No Respect For Others Anymore
Watching and reading about those 2 poor girls who were raped, had the crime recorded by their attackers, and then treated as though they had brought it upon themselves just made me sick! We as a society have totally forgotten that if you see someone in trouble, you should help them out. I consider those people to be worse then the ones who actually committed the crime.

Craziest Thing I’ve Ever Seen
2 of my cats that have recently given birth to kittens are conducting kidnapping operations against each other. I sat outside yesterday and watched each of them start carrying off the other’s kitties. Weirdest thing I’ve ever seen…hopefully they’ll take care of them!

A Funny From My Collecting Past
My favorite coin shop was a little one located in Annandale, Virginia. My Dad and I would go to their Thursday night auctions, and most of the people there thought he was the collector. However, when they heard a 9 year old talking about coins like a seasoned professional, they soon learned who the boss was!

Talking Baseball
Both my Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals have high expectations heading into this season. The O’s had their first winning season since 1997, and the Nats had the best record in Baseball. With all the injuries the Yankees have, the AL East is wide open, and the Orioles have the talent to win it, though the Toronto Blue Jays, having become the Miami Marlins North with that team’s salary dump and the Jays’ Acquistion of NL Cy Young Awarde Winner R.A. Dickey could also make things interesting. And the Nats have the NL’s best pitching, with Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez, though the Braves and Phillies are always competitive. We shall see starting next week…..

How Would The Christian Conservative Community Deal With Jesus If He Were With Us Today?-Courtesy Of Daily Kos
How Would The Christian Conservative Community Deal With Jesus If He Were With Us Today?
Cross posted at Hillbilly Report
I'm not writing this to anger my fellow Christians. I writing this so that we might ask ourselves the following questions.
How would Jesus would fit in modern day America?
Would he be welcomed or would he meet the same demise he met when he first appeared?
How would he be welcomed in your church?
How would his criticism of your church be received, by your church leaders?
Would he tell America it needs to spend more on bombs, weapons of mass destruction, etc. and less on the poor and disenfranchised?
What would he think upon seeing Christian leaders living opulent lifestyles while the masses suffer?
How would the established Christian community act when folks stopped listening to them and started listening to him, at his mass rallies?
How would the established Christian community respond when folks started giving their money to Jesus rather than them?
If Jesus were with us today where would he be living? Would he be living with the masses or living in opulence with rich religious leaders?
Would Jesus have a concealed carry permit?
Would he pass a background check?
If he drew a crowd on a busy street would he be cited for not having permit for a rally?
How would the fast food industry react if Jesus bought two big Mac's and five orders of french fries and fed thousands with some left over? Would they lobby their Christian conservative friends in Congress to stop that?
How would the Wine industry react if Jesus started turning water into wine? Would they lobby their Christian conservative friends in Congress to stop that?
How would the healthcare insurance companies react if Jesus started healing the sick for free? Would they lobby their Christian conservative friends in Congress to stop that?
Just asking. Feel free to ask your questions in the comment section.

Internet Dating-Would You?
Would you date someone you’ve met over the Internet? There are some crazy people out there who prey on the desperate, so caution is the watchword. For me, I’d be careful before I started a relationship with someone online. I’d make sure they were who they said they were, and make sure that their intentions are honorable.

I Don’t Agree With His Politics……
But there is one thing I agree with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie about:
GIVE US OVERWEIGHT PEOPLE A BREAK!!!
Don’t you think we know that we have a problem? Unlike what most people think, most of us don’t lay around all day eating. Personally, I watch what I eat, and I try to get as much exercise as possible, but it’s a slow process. I’ve been trying to lose weight for 30 years, and I’m not even close to where I want to be. It’s cost me a lot: friends, love, and and an exciting life, so I’ve been using those things as motivation. And being picked on an called names does not help at all. So before you start bashing us, have some compassion!

I Don’t Know……..
Why my parents got married at all! They are the most incompatible couple I’ve ever seen. They argue all the time, and it wouldn’t be funny if they actually fought about something worth fighting over. I could give you a list of the stupid shit that they have carried on about, but it would take a million pages. And I get upset that I’m single? Slaps my forehead!

3 Weeks Of Hell
I’ve been sick with the Flu the past 3 weeks. That stuff is nasty! It makes you feel like crap, my ribs are sore from coughing, my nose is sore from blowing it, and I’m just getting my voice back from my throat being raw sore. Also, I have been totally exhausted. I hope I don’t have to go through it again for a while, and I hope none of you have to!

I Learned To Read…….
Before I learned to do anything else I think! In first grade, the teacher had to send my Mom a note asking her to get me to slow down, I was getting ahead of everyone in the reading workbook. We may have the Internet, and ebooks now, but there’s nothing like the feel of an actual book in your hands!

Election Post Mortem
Now that the election is over, President Obama has been re-elected, The Democrats control the Senate, and the Republicans control the House, as before. Both parties need to check their egos at the door, come together as Americans, and do their jobs, not just for the benefit of their respective parties, but for THE WHOLE COUNTRY! Compromise is not a dirty word, people! both sides have good ideas, it is not good to disregard them. The American voters elected you to get something done, not 4 more years of gridlock. There are things that need to get done ASAP, such as fixing the economy and immigration reform.
To the Republican party:
If you want to make inroads with Women, black, and Latino voters, you need to lay off the insults and vitriol!

I’ll be glad…..

Doing it For Me
I have been going about my weight loss for the wrong reasons. I have been doing it to please others, to get them off my backs. But no longer. From now on, I’m gonna do it because I want to, not to please everyone else! I’m tired of having no energy, not being able to walk long distances, and I am tired of wearing jeans and sweatshirts, I want to be able to wear good clothes! Like a friend of mine said…If you do something to please others, you will fail.

Denied
I wish I would have been able to do all the things that school kids do:
Have friends to hang with
Go places with them
Be able to go to the Prom and all those other school functions
Not have to drown my sorrows in school work
Actually want to get up each morning to go to school, and not have the thought of going make you ill.
Have a girlfriend
Not have to be forced to go out in public, I became so shy
Not worry if today was the day your ass would be kicked and you were hurt severely
Have people, especially your parents take you seriously
And there are probably more

Is it worth it?
After nearly losing Nicie because of an argument we had over politics last week, I’m starting to think that it’s better to pick your fights then to lose your best friend in the whole world over something that in the long run is not worth losing a friend over. Everyone has a right to their opinions, and we can discuss our differences without going for each other’s throats…at least in theory

The best way to ruin a friendship is by arguing about Religion Or Politics was a genius!
