The problem with putting it all on the line is that it might not work out.
The problem with not putting it all on the line, is that it will never (ever) change things for the better.
Not much of a choice, I think. No risk, no art. No art, no reward.

Cleaning out my camera

Just uploading some pictures because I have not done that much lately
My kids riding on the Trolly:


BJ Upton doing the post game interview from when they played Boston a month or so ago...


Some friends of mine at that very same game, Nice Bird Finger:


Hot Rays chick excited that I am taking her picture:


My Kids at Channel Side :

Let us See the Ferrari, or let us in on the fact its a kit car.

Lets say you have a nearly blind, 90 year old grandmother who lives in another city. She calls you one day to tell you that she bought herself a brand new Ferrari convertible, and that when she is no longer able to drive, due to her eyesight she is going to give it to you.
-
Now, you have not actually seen this Ferrari yet, (because, she lives in another city) but you know and love your grandmother, and you do not doubt that she is telling you the truth, both, about the purchase of the Ferrari and that you will get it one day soon. You do know what a Ferrari looks like because you have seen similar models before. In fact, you used to have your very own Ferrari, but the lease ran out on it and you had to give it to a Ferrari dealer who lives in Minnesota.
-
Then one day she tells you that while she was driving her Ferrari to church she busted out the front axle, so she will have to get it in the shop, but that if that did not happen she would have given it to you last fall. You are disappointed of course, but If the axle is busted out, its busted out, and again, you understand and love your Grandmother and do not doubt her.
-
Finally this fall she tells you that she is going to be bringing you the Ferrari and you are quite excited, except the first weekend when you think she is going to be bringing it down to you, she arrives, and is in her very serviceable Ford F150. When you rush outside to meet her, you again give her the benefit of the doubt. In fact her excuse was simply that she Forgot to come down in the Ferrari, but that she would make the trip again next weekend and would no doubt remember to bring it then.
-
"Okay Grandma, I am just glad the F150 got you here with out any major problems."
-
She tells you about that one time when she had that thing to the rails on the way to church, during the spring, which again, builds the excitement, but alas, the next two weekends after the Ford F-150 weekend , there are other excuses on why the Ferrari has not yet been delivered.
-
You hope that your Grandmother was not lying to you about the existence of the Ferrari, and you wonder if maybe she actually bought some kind of a kit car with a Vw 4 cylinder engine by mistake, and is just to proud to admit to you her error yet, still hoping herself that was not the case and that it is a real honest to goodness Ferrari.
-
You don't have much hope that she will bring it this weekend, but maybe that first Saturday in October, when you plan to meet up with her in Alabama for a big old Reunion of sorts, maybe that is when she will unveil the Ferrari, or maybe that is when you find out it was just a kit car that looks kind of like a Ferrari from afar, but in reality is powered by a VW bug engine. -
-
Andre Debose are you the Ferrari we have heard so much about and not yet seen? Because Percy Harvin was the Ferrari that we used to have, that is now gone on to the Minnesota Vikings. Two weeks from now, it sure would be nice to be able to drive around in the Ferrari over in Alabama and not find out definitively that it was just a kit car. Although in all honesty lets take that baby out this Saturday against KY if you are for real.

Positives

One of the good things about my life is that although I am at a prime age to have a midlife crisis, The facts are, I can't really afford to indulge myself in one. ---Gotta Keep on Keepin on....

UofF and Tennessee tomorrow.

Tomorrow Chris Rainey will probably be watching the UF / Tenn game on the Television, just like me. He played WR/RB/ and TEXTING STALKER and now, he is not playing at all.

-

What are we going to do without him? Lucky for us we have some other Parade All Americans to fill in. Have not seen much of Andre Debose this season. Tomorrow, will hopefully be his breakout game. Lets hope we see Urban with his Hands up in the air tomorrow a bunch. This used to be such a good rivalry, but those VOLS got all complacent on us, and now they are just kind of a middle of the road football team.

-

They haven't lost their class though, Many Vols fans will more than likely be sporting this T-shirt. (Truthfullness here I think it is funny even if it is in bad taste)

-

Well it should be fun for the first half until the Gator's pull away from them. I miss this game being huge like it used to. Back in the day either the Gators were going to win the SEC East or it was going to be the VOLS, not so much anymore.

A few Fantasy Observations

You know that Guy, He talks about his fantasy football team, and you could give a shit. I am sometimes that guy. - It's like this, I am usually just a guy, but I do have this superpower about me, wherein I can run my mouth and tell you why I have such a great Fantasy Football team and I am going to win my league this year for sure Yada Yada Yada. --

-
I wish I would have been given a better superpower then being able to talk incessantly about my own Fantasy team, but I can't fly, I don't get X-ray vision or super human strength.
-
Don't worry though, after week one, I am OH and One. Pretty sure not only do I have a Lame ass superpower, its the kind of made up superpower like Batman has where its just a cool cape and a really fast car plus a gay little side-kick. No one wants to hear about how awesome my guys are, ---no, this post is about the fantasy team I am playing this week in my Old League.
-
He has Tom Brady.
-

Just look at him with his photo shopped tattoo of Pee Wee Herman on his throwing arm, and would you look at the hair on this guys head? Hey, Tom, Justin Bieber called, he wants his Gayness back.

-
Next, My opponent this week is going to be running some Ricky Williams at me.






-


Ricky and his constant drug tests because of his love of the GANJA, Ricky of the new age medicine, dread locks and doing interviews with his helmet on, Oh yes, did you remember when he posed for the cover of ESPN the magazine wearing a Bridal dress? Hey Ricky, Ronnie Brown called, He wants his fucking touches back.
-
And what about the SOLDIER?




-
Thats right, Kellen Winslow of the rant about being a "soldier" Of the guy who broke his leg playing around on a motorcycle. Kellen Winslow, Wearing a Browns Uniform and yelling in the middle of my blog post, even though he is currently a Buccaneer, the undefeated Bucaneers. Kellen Winslow of the flashy, always getting hurt and running his mouth. Hey, Kellen, your dad called, He wants his good name back.
-
Thank Goodness Brady is up against the JETS this week.

Calvin Johnson's Catch that wasn't

This is just wrong. It's like porn. You know it when you see it, and that is a catch. Then they reviewed it and still got it wrong. That ball broke the plane. He had posession the entire time, then he was on the ground and he set the football down.

NFL FOOTBALL TONIGHT

Feeling it tonight, Just flat out excited to watch a little NFL Football. WOOHOOO!!!

woman logic

I went to the bar on Saturday to buy some wings to go. As I am waiting for them to cook, I overheard two waitresses having a conversation. -- One waitress was talking about going to the bahamas with a guy. The other waitress said something to the effect that she had heard this guy had previously beaten his wife. The first waitress said thats okay, for one, I am not his wife, and additionally she reasoned that no one beats their girlfriend on a first date in the bahamas.

Lefty

Nice game the other night rook... 12 for 16 for a buck sixty or so, and a 39 yard TD strike to a tightly covered wide receiver on the sideline?

Giselle, Finch, Brady and My arguments from tonight

After getting our Ass kicked in Softball for a second game in a row this season, we went to a bar to have a few beers.

-

At this bar, and in our discussion, it turns out a friend of mine does not think Jennie Finch is hot? Which I find absurd. Dude has some really high standards I guess? but WTF? - here is a picture of Jennie Finch, you can decide for yourself? Hot or not?

-

-

Seriously, She is Gorgeous. So My point that I made is that his Standards are clearly ridiculous.

-

Then another friend, different from the first friend , who does not think Jennie Finch is Hot, says that he can't stand Tom Brady?

-

OKAY, What's not to like about Tom Brady? He makes about 12 Million Dollars a year. He is at the top of his profession. - His profession happens to be defined as: "National Football League Quarterback," Which, in the entire world, their are only 96 people or so, a year that get to do that, and of those 96 he is in the top 3. - He gets to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

-

-

He does guest shots on Popular T.V. Shows playing himself...(Entourage) . He is married to a Super Model in Giselle Bundschen, who, by the way, is a SUPER MODEL!

.

-

Before He hooked up with her, he was with Bridgette Moynahan, Who, OH, by the way, She is also a SUPERMODEL.

-

So yes, I don't really like the Patriots either, but do I admire Tom Brady as a Man?... lets summarize here:

1- He makes 12 Million dollars a year or so ...Plus what he makes in Endorsements....

2- He hangs out with Other Multi Millionaires who are his friends and gets to do cool stuff like being on a popular T.V. Show

3- He is at the very top of his profession, which might be the very coolest profession in the world

4- He is in the very coolest position of the very coolest profession there is

5- He dates Multiple Super models....., NOT Just "A" super model, but MULTIPLE

-

In Summary, after I broke it down for the dude he realized that he does not necessarily dislike the guy, He is just Jealous. ----Argument won.
