More Sports Injuries

I wrote about how far sports injuries have come, or rather the way they are treated. As much as I love European football (soccer), I still can’t stand it when an ultra-fit racehorse of an athlete gets knicked on his boot and down he goes, writhing in ungodly pain and what looks like a certainContinue reading “More Sports Injuries”

Sports Injuries

If you participate in contact sports, you will be injured. Unavoidable. Men and women suffer and live with the results of playing sports. The manner in which injuries are dealt with have changed. (Oh really? Ya think?) “Rub some dirt on it.” Not just an expression, but many an old-school coach’s philosophy to minor injuriesContinue reading “Sports Injuries”

Initials

We call everything by it’s initials since we are a very lazy society in general. In recent news, SBF was denied bail in NYC for his role in FTX and his fucking over people to the tune of billions of dollars. I bet if you made him turn his hands over, you wouldn’t find aContinue reading “Initials”

Gone But Not Forgotten…

I hope you didn’t forget me, but I have been swamped putting together and pulling off a charity benefit adoption event and concert for the local Humane Society. It was not a piece of cake. Unforseen circumstances, as in a death in the family and the absolute worst thing a committed performer can do: no-call,Continue reading “Gone But Not Forgotten…”

Crybaby

Growing up, I was told not to cry; it was a sign of weakness. Real men didn’t cry. When my Little League team lost the game which would have sent us to Williamsport, PA and the Little League World Series, I cried. But not in front of anyone. I didn’t want to be accused ofContinue reading “Crybaby”

Odds and Ends

In 2019 a guy in Texas shoots and kills twenty-three people at a Walmart. Four years later, justice, and I use that term very loosely, is meted out. For the domestic terorrist act which was also enhanced by the hate crime designation, the person, and I use THAT term very loosely, was given ninety, countContinue reading “Odds and Ends”

Just Don’t

Sage advice indeed. When you see a small animal in the wild in need of help, you naturally want to pick them up and hold them in a sign of affection. Just don’t. You have taken them away from their natural family and ensured they will never again be able to live free like theyContinue reading “Just Don’t”

Trifecta

In my effort to cultivate some interest for my first novel, I am running this excerpt from the book by running it three consecutive days. I hope that you check out some of my blogs, as I have been writing them for over two years. *** I’ve been lolly-gagging and dilly-dallying now for two yearsContinue reading “Trifecta”

Pardon Me

I don’t feel brokenhearted about the parents who were upset their kids were turned away from graduation. These aren’t even high schoolers we’re talking about. In this life, you have TWO graduations that actually mean anything; first, your high school graduation for completing twelve years of education, and then your college graduation for your advancedContinue reading “Pardon Me”

And You Wonder Why…

They keep doing dumb shit in Texas; they have become a punchline for police inaction and cowardice, the political leaders can do no right when it comes to abortion, and they had to postpone a high school graduation because there were not enough students that qualified to get their diplomas. So, as the old dumbassesContinue reading “And You Wonder Why…”
