We commented today on the show about a bill that would make it illegal for veterans to lie about their time at war as far as accomplishments, duties, etc. "Stolen Valor" is what it's called. My deal is on one hand if someone was over there who are we to question what happened. On the other hand, does it matter that someone lied about what happened? It's a great story and as long as I didn't have to go serve, I don't really care what they lied about. Maybe it's not a lie at all; I don't really think it's my place, or anyone else's, to question the service of anyone in our military; though there are some that say that since they fight for our freedom, they open themselves up to criticism from the very ones they fight for. Who knows, we will see if this bill passes or not but if it did, it wouldn't suprise me at all. Lets let people have their stories, they went and sacrificed why should we dissect every little aspect?
I got my tooth pulled today so I wasn't able to go to work. A tooth that I had been having trouble with for months and finally got a chance to get it out. It was bad man, impacted by wisdom teeth and hard to clean. Hard for me to clean and I brush myteeth three times a day. Happens to the best of us I guess. I'm ready to get back to work, ready for baseball to start, ready for a bunch of stuff. Here's to the long weekend, sorry for all the fragments if you are reading this Mrs. Gwinn.
Jeff has a new blog now, definitely worth checking out. I'm telling you if you haven't read it yet you should, it's definitely worth it. I can't stop reading it, evidently he is on Twitter to @TheJLN .
I can smell it, baseball is just around the corner. Thank God; it's the best sport to take your family to. Not the NFL or the NBA, the alcohol and the language are rough for kids, plus when your local Single A Baseball Affiliate has a playground on site, it doesn't hurt either. Having said that, I'm gonna be ready for some Football around July but for now I'm ready for some baseball.
We are having psychic to the stars Victoria Bullis on the show today. Apparently she is going to tell us what we were in our past lives, which to be honest with you, I can't remember much about. My Grandma just passed almost two weeks ago, so part of me wants to ask her if she can communicate with her, but the other part knows that I would be ex-communicated from that side of the family for life; maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing. Either way, Bullis is a pretty fun guest and people seem to have fun with her. Does she know what she is talking about? maybe not but who does these days right?
We've seen this scenario before right? Super Bowl 46 will be Patriots vs Giants, in case you haven't heard by now, lol. Sorry if I spoiled hours of games you had on the DVR. I for one am not a fan of this matchup, to me it's hard to watch the Giants play football. It's kind of in the middle, it's not really high scoring or great defensively. It also says how weak the NFC is when a division winner who limps into the playoffs at 8-8 runs the table. I guess it's about who gets hot at the right time right? I think the Patriots win this one big to get revenge from their perfect season so maybe the football gods set this one up for the Patriots, but we will see. I for one say, bring on the Pro Bowl something exciting at least.
Yesterday, Monday, is commonly known to people as "Blue Monday". It's statiscally proven as the saddest day of the calendar year. I can attest to it, not only did my wife's Mother day on that date over ten years ago, my Grandmother died yesterday. What a crazy day; we weren't really that close anymore for a couple reasons but it's still weird when someone passes. I saw her on Sunday, she couldn't speak and didn't know who I was but I had a feeling that a peace had come over us that everything was forgiven. I said I would come back but when I left that day I knew there wouldn't be a next time, she was bad. I won't go to the funeral because I don't really do well in those situations, I feel out of place. Weird way to start the week but it's all good; I'm not emotional or anything about it, death happens, you do get some perspective on it though when it happens to you a few times in your young life.
** THAT IS THE HEAVIEST BLOG YOU WILL READ FROM ME EVER, LOL**
I know it's late but did anybody just see the Pro Bowl? I gotta tell you, it's probably the most memorable one for me in a long long time. I know people don't like All-Star exhibitions but despite all the lack of tackling and blocking, this game was full of what casual football fans love to see, a ton of offense. Guys were throwing the ball all over the field and Brandon Marhsall, WOW! Guy caught a TD pass that he kicked to himself. If he didn't play for such a scrub team, more people would be talking about this guy. Next up is the NBA All-Star game in February and everybody's favorite, Slam Dunk Contest. Who knows if it will live up to the Pro-Bowl but we will see, and for the record. I said put the money on the AFC to cover and win, looks like the last FB Guarantee of the season was a good call.
