The Cowboys Suck!!!!!!!!

My favorite team since I was a kid is the Cowboys and they showed what they were made of yesterday. They showed that they are weak and lack any intestinal fortitude. The mental and physical nature of the game eventually exposes you for what you are. What ever weakness you have it will be shown and exposed to the light. This is worse than the 1-15 team years ago. At least we knew that team was bad. This one always kept you hoping for more.

Though I am embarrassed that the team did not make the playoffs I am glad this debacle of a season is over. I can only hope that Jerry Jones will come to his senses and realize that he is not a great evaluator of talent and that he needs to step out of the way. He needs to just be an owner and stop interfering in day to day operations and talent evaluation. This is probably what happened with Bill Parcells who just finished taking a 1-15 Dolphin team to 11-5 in one year!

Imagine if Bill could have called all the shots and stayed in Dallas. There would be no T.O. Jones force Owens on Parcells. There would be no coach in waiting. The performance of the Dallas offense this year showed that the appointment of Jason Garrett to 'Coach in Waiting' is premature. There would be no Wade Phillips as a lame duck coach. Phillips is a good man and a great Defensive Coordinator but not a head coach. Some people are great as the 'man next to the man' but not 'the man' if you know what I mean.

Also, let's face the fact that Owens has destroyed another locker room. He is a divider rather than a unifier in the locker room. HE MUST GO! This is priority number 1. If he does not go then the other moves that must be made will not matter.

There are some tough decisions to be made. I know Jerry Jones has the reputation of a tough businessman. I hope he has the ability to make these tough decisions while looking in the mirror.

I do live in Chicago, maybe I could switch to the hometown team. Oh, I forgot they suck too!!!!

Stop Texting in My House!!!!!

What's wrong with the people in my house? What's wrong with people in general. I love modern technology and what it has done for us. But I don't like that people are forgetting how to communicate with each other face to face.

For instance, the people in my house send text messages to each other instead of walking in the next room and saying something. My sister-in-law(SIL from here on), lives with us and is a little whacky (see "Sister in Law" and "I've been holding" out posts).

SIL is kind of a hermit. I see her once every three days as she is walking out to the back yard to have a smoke in 3 degree temperatures. Otherwise, she is at work or in her room. She wants a husband, bad.....not sure how it works these days but I think you actually have to go out of the house and meet people and then you meet your future sucker I mean husband somewhere in the process.

Who knows, maybe one day he will just come knocking on the front door and say, "Hi, I'm looking for a single, smoking, ass flashing (again see previous posts), dog having, hermit-like SIL? Do you have one because if so, I want to marry her!"

Sorry, that is not the point of this post. Here is the point. SIL will lay in the bed and shoot me a text message, while I am in the house. The other day she shot me a text because she could hear me in the kitchen.....she was 10 feet away on the other side of a wall! Get up and talk! Although it would have been a senseless conversation because the text said, "Will you walk me down the aisle when I get married?" Stop laughing, 'cause I'm serious.

SIL will even use her cell to call one of us in the house on the house phone. If she doesn't get you on the house phone she will try you on the cell. So I'm thinking, she will try to communicate in every possible form of communication before she will get off her ass and come talk to one of us.

Then my daughter, 16 years old and just as whacky does the same stuff. I tell her stop sending texts to people in the house. She came in the house the other night and sent me a text saying "I'm home". WHAT? You better bring your tail upstairs so I can put my eyes on you!

I've even gotten sucked into doing it. I don't feel like walking downstairs so I send a text.....this is madness and must stop. Next we will be standing next to each other and we will be sending texts instead of talking.

Does anyone else have this problem? Maybe it is me. Maybe I am so hideous or my breathe is so bad that it is less painful to text me.

My wife got upset with me for sending a text while we were on a date. I thought it was better than having a phone conversation?! Apparently not, she took my phone like I was a little kid or something....I protested by not talking to her. She ruined the date or technology did in some strange way.

Economics

The economy is kickin' my ass! I am getting killed! 401K gone way down, can't move or refi my real estate, can't dump enough debt.....Hard Times for all.

"Hard times will take you on a natual trip.

So keep your balance and don't you slip.

Hard times in life Hard times in death,

I'm gonna keep on fighting 'till my very last breath!

Hard Times" RUNDMC

That's what I'm doing.....fighting 'till my very last breath! Fighting to stay alive and keep my business alive gives me this strange, positive energy. I think I thrive on the pressure. Win or lose I like the pressure that tells me that I must do the right things to win. Problem is it's not a game it's real life with dire consequences if I lose.

I'm taking some real chances right now that will pay if I can make it through the next year. Question is can I make it through until then?

The Fed just cut the target interest rate to a range of 0-.025%. That will eventually help housing but not sure what will happen in the meanwhile. If everything else falls apart it won't matter what housing does down the road.

I'm nervous but not afraid to take a chance. The only method that is 100% sure to fail is not trying.

Police Report

Bye-Bye Juice. It's been a long time coming. O.J. has been jail time waiting to happen for a long time. Where is Johnnie Cochran when you need him? Sorry Juice Johnnie is no longer with us RIP and neither are you in a different way.

This guy is not smart. He shoots himself in the leg at a club. He does not have a permit for the gun....a mandatory 3.5 years in the pokey under NY law. It will be interesting to see if he really goes to jail.

This guy makes $7-$8 million per year. Why can't he just hire a bodyguard?

D-Wade's Gear

What the hell is D.Wade wearing? He looks like a doorman. Who told him that pants with pockets on the legs was OK with a coat and tie?

I just put his woman up here 'cause she's hot. I dumped her to be with my wife 'cause my wife is hotter! Maybe she is dressing D.Wade these days and wants him to look like a sucka' when she is away.

That's All I Got!

My Wife Doubts Me

My wife became upset with me when I said that she was making me want her because she has been cooking a lot lately. I've been on her to spend less money on eating out. She has responded and I like it.

So I walked in the kitchen a couple of days ago and she was cooking. I grabbed her from behind and whispered in her ear, "seeing you cooking here is making me hot, take me now!"

She promptly got upset and told me to get away from her. I don't get it, she says she is not appreciated for what she does. I try to show some appreciation by giving some Italian Sausage, ,well African American Sausage, and I am rejected? She actually doubted my sincerity. I was truly sincere, I wanted her. I was willing to wait because I would be pissed if the food was burnt.

I've asked her out on two dates since then and she has rejected me on both occasions. What is she crazy.....has she seen how hot I am? I think not.

That's All I Got!

Sarah Palin is a Pimp

Now that the election is over, where is John McCain? I have not seen him anywhere, yet Sarah Palin is everywhere. She is campaigning in Georgia in a key race, she has book deals and she has book deals that she is mulling over.
What does john McCain have? Apparently nothing. Wouldn't it be logical that John McCain, the man who won the republican nomination for President of the United States be campaigning in Georgia in that key race that could change the balance of power in Washington, D.C.? Shouldn't the man who was tortured as a prisoner of war, a true American Hero, have the book and movie deals?
While I am not a fan of either person, I must say that Sarah Palin is a pimp and I admire her for it. She has walked on the political scene from a place where no one had heard of her and become the face of the Republican Party. She pimped john McCain!!!! He brought her in to put him over the top in the election. Instead, she blew the election for him (he would have lost anyway but by a lesser margin) and took all his power and notoriety and sent him off into the sunset. There is even talk of her running for President in the next election.
Personally, I think she is very under qualified to be President or any other high ranking official. No I am not a sexist, I am perfectly fine with other female politicians. I just think she lacks the mental fortitude and composure needed for such responsibility. the Katie Couric interview was a prime example. Any good politician, prepared or not, would have at least come across as competent in that situation. Not only did she come across as unprepared, she came across as bumbling and unintelligent.
Now, I do think she is qualified for our current climate of people being very successful and considered very talented for doing absolutely nothing. See, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and any number of reality show people for examples. As a matter of fact she may be over qualified. She has been a mayor, a governor and she is kind of attractive. Books, movies and pointless celebrity should be just fine for her.

That's all I got!
