Be Careful What You Wish For....

I bet Bush is kicking himself right about now for advocating Democracy in the Middle East. Iran has a President who wants to nuke us, and the Palestinian governement is now being run by a terrorist organization. Nice people, huh?

20 Years

I can remember what I was doing 20 years ago, the day the Challenger blew up. I was in DC with the Boy Scouts, visiting the Capitol. We stopped into the House chamber, and Tip O'neill was making a speech about the Astronauts that were lost. The US Space Program has lost 17 Men and Women in almost 50 years. I don't know if it's worth going into space, but as long as humans have that need to explore, we will keep on going into orbit!

Time For An Update

I think I'm going to be giving this blog an overhaul next week! I have a few blogs of my friends that I'd like to share with you, and some new links.

Dreams

Every month or so, I have the craziest dream! It always has something to do with me driving at very high speeds, trying to get back to my old house in VA. I know I'm homesick, but this is crazy!

Obsession

I think that maybe I'm too obsessed with losing weight, finding a Girlfriend, and making friends. I know I should be happy with myself, and maybe if I concentrated on that, I'll relax, be more open, and everything else will fall into place!

A Chance Squandared

A few years ago, there was a girl that went to my Church that I was really interested in. I sooo much wanted to talk to her, get to know her, and ask her out, but I just froze whenever I got up. Finally, the Sunday I finally got up the nerve to go for it, she moved away. I guess if you snooze, you lose!

A Simply Beautiful Day!!

The past 2 or 3 days have been totally wonderful! It's the middle of January, and it's been close to hitting 70 degrees! Even though it's not going to, I hope It stays nice for a while longer!

Payback!

Today, my Washington Redskins defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-10 in the first round of the NFL playoffs, avenging an earlier loss to the Bucs. It was the ugliest game I've ever watched. The Skins totaled only 124 yards of offence, setting a record low for a winning playoff team. It was truely a defensive effort. Next week Washington travels to Seattle to Face the Seahawks, top team in the NFC. In week 4, the Skins beat the Seahawks 20-17 in OT.

Tragedy In My Home State

It has been a very rough couple of days here in the State of West Virginia. I don't know what is more tragic, the death of those miners, or the miscommunication that allowed their families to think that 12 of the 13 survived. However, the opposite was true. At least we can be thankful that one of them survived, and is improving in the hospital!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone! My year's been fine so far:p My New Years' Resolutions are the same as last year, losing weight and finding a Girlfriend! I have a feeling that this will be a great year!

Talk About A Wet Dream!!

Last night, I was soooo exhausted that I fell asleep in my tub while taking a bath! I must have been out close to an hour. It's a wonder I didn't drown!

A Sample Of My Collection

Here's my 1914 Series Large Size $5 Federal Reserve Note!

A picture of Baltimore's Camden Yards Ballpark

And last but not least, a nice pair of matched cuts and bruises on my elbows and knees from slipping on ice on the porch and taking a flier across the porch!

Merry Christmas To All My Readers!

Merry Christmas! I'll catch ya all in a couple of days!

Just Hanging out...

This is outrageous!

I am totally appalled, but not surprised by the news coming out that the President has authorized wiretaps of private citizens, without the approval of the courts! Have we been so frozen in terror that we are allowing the government to take away our right to privacy?

"Camping Out"

Today, I had to treat the first 6 hours of my day like I was camping out. The Electric Company had to turn the power off to my end of town to perform maintainance. So that meant no TV, computer, microwave, heat except for a kerosene heater, and not much to do but read. Kinda makes you think that maybe we depend too much on electrical devices....

Redskins scalp t he Cowboys

Today, my Washington Redskins totally defeated the hated Dallas Cowboys, 35-7. For the first time in 1o years, the 'Skins swept the season series. Next week, Washington hosts the NY Giants, hoping to avenge a 36-0 loss earlier in the season.

A Movie Coming Out Next Year That I Want To See

There's one movie coming out next year that I want to see: Ghost Rider. This movie is based on one of my favorite Comic Book Heroes! It stars Nicholas Cage as Johnny Blaze, motorcycle stuntman by day, flaming demonic agent of vengeance by night. I've seen a few clips of it, and it looks like it could be a great movie! It comes out in July.

GRRRR Part 2

I just got finished talking with a friend of mine telling em for the millionth time how his inlaws are bullies, and his wife will do nothing to back him up. This is getting quite boring! If you're not gonna do anythng about it, don't come bitching to me!
