Bad Thinking

When you start thinking about out come instead of what you are doing that's when you get in trouble. You can't try to be the MVP of the game or the season or the league. You just play the game and be relaxed and have fun. If you are thinking of all this other stuff you are thinking you self right out of it. Your brain can only work so fast so don't clog it up with a bunch of thoughts that don't pertain to the task at hand. This is real common for golfers it is call swing grind they try and make the perfect swing thinking that will make them play better but it don't they always play worst. Because the task at hand is to hit the ball to a spot or a target however you want to look at it. And some of the best golfers of all time had terrible swings but they hit the ball where they wanted it to go and in so doing shot really low scores and won a lot of money.Here in lies the secret its not the biggest the strongest or the smartest who win at sports. It the one who is the calmest. That is right. Control of your nerves and break everything down to it simplest form and focus on that and you will win way more than you lose. Play the game like a kid have fun try new shots make new moves smile. This is a game this is not life and death. And when you are young don't put all your eggs in one basket. Do a lot of different things to find the one you are good at

Sunday

Its Sunday again and the diabolical forces are at work in my brain and in every Church in the world yes it is time to think of God. The first day of the week the day the Romans worshiped the sun it is funny how we moved the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday and one of the commandment is to keep the Sabbath day holy
more corruption of Christianity Most people don't believe in God anymore anyway. They believe in pieces of scripture. The baptist believe in baptism. Church of Christ they are almost a cult with the way they control their people. Like the Mormons they are more monsters they want to take over the world. Cowboy church
can you believe this shit they watched to many John Wayne movies he is not Jesus. Catholics the first christian religion they have had the longest amount of time to pervert it and they have. Its not about God its about finding your identity so you can worship God in a way this expresses who you think you are not God you.And that's not all bad its just most of the people that show up on Sunday are crooks and thieves on Monday They are the ones who sell you cars,houses,insurance,and anything else for more than what it is worth Every Sunday they show up because they know all week they have sinned. Now people who sin in the flesh they don't go to church their to ashamed but not the crooks and the thieves they are the ones who fill up the pews.Donating their money to pay for their sins. But its the same dirty money they stole and cheated for all week. Do you think God needs your money much less your dirty money ? A man sells a car for 1000 dollars more than it is worth then he laughs at the man he sells the car to he is so stupid to pay that much for that car Who is really stupid?? Who is trading their soul for the love of money. Money is evil and you have to be careful with it or it will consume you.Money is a dangerous instrument it is power and power corrupts
 When you are young you have a strong soul you see clear you believe deeply you want to make a difference in this world. As you get older the world beats you down with greed and money and shady deals for profit.
Each time weakening your soul until you have no soul left all you have is the desire to make that deal where you make the money. I knew an old man me and him were partners in the car business. Now he would buy and sell anything to make money so he bought this mobile home for 5000.00 dollars about four months later he sold it for 10,000.00. dollars doubled his money. He was happy one afternoon then it was on to something else. He worried and worried about losing money on that trailer everyday we got to sell that trailer.Then one day he soled it and made money and he still didn't enjoy it.He felt more alive worrying about losing money than he did about making it that was the only reason he didn't retire he had nothing to live for but the love of money.He was a sad old man...and once he knew he was going to die he tried to run from death. I have seen this many times an old man starts moving back to the places of his youth to try and get away from death. He was afraid of death I think he lost his soul for the love of money.It is great to worship God but be careful in these corrupt churches the people that are there can lead you the wrong way..

 

Football High

Well the Muleshoe mules had another great season this year but unfortunately they had to move up in class and hit a Wall in the process that's right a small town south of San Angelo. Wall is a town that has a program
unlike most schools they just wait every ten to twenty years and then they have a class of kids that can play and have size. Wall player are standing on the backs of the players from 10 years ago yes they are pushed and praised to the point they believe they are better than everybody else And it works because they play that way. It is also conditioning they start at a young age getting these kids ready to play basketball. And they always have great basketball teams boys and girls.And that training transfers over to make really good football players speed and ball handling skills are what you have to have to play both games. And if you start working with the kids young they will have skills.
 It's like Shallowater they start these kids playing basketball when they are in the first grade and by the time they graduate they can play some ball. Specially the girls they don't have all the distractions the boys have  Hunting Motorcycles football baseball and everything else you can think of sports wise its basketball or you are know body. I had a man come up to me the other night and he said if your kid don't make the A-team in basketball you are not nobody at Shallowater. And that is right but it is also that way at Idalou in football
every little town has there thing.
 And what happened to the Paducah Dragons they had a great season until last night. Oh well I for one am glad the football season is coming to a end and hoping no more young men get hurt. This game does produce
way to many injures and some catastrophic. So the sooner its over the better. Just a few more weeks and it will all be over and we can get down to the real fun that is basketball. The big Caprock Tournament is right around the corner. Some of the best basketball in the state will be played right here in Lubbock Tx.that week. So come on down.

Drop Dead

She was a drop dead pretty bitch
Yea drop dead make you twitch
Drop dead pretty witch
Oh man that's what I said

She walked in the bar people turned their heads
I didn't even here a thing my buddy said
When I looked at her well my face turned red
She was a drop dead pretty bitch

Everyman scrambled trying to get a dance
They were all running round with ants in their pants
I tried to make my move but I didn't get a chance
She was a drop dead pretty bitch

She was a drop dead pretty bitch
Yea drop dead make you twitch
Yea drop dead pretty witch
Oh man that's what I said

Next time your at the bar and you are looking for a hard case
And a girl walks in and takes over the place
Know it now like I knew it then
It'll be a drop dead pretty bitch again
A drop dead pretty bitch again

Sun Wind And Rain

I feel the sun beating down
On my face
I feel it stirring around
In my space
I feel it taking me low
And put me in my place
I feel the sun beating down
On my face

I feel the wind blowing hard
On my face
My soul is showing it's marred
I am losing this race
I feel it taking me low
And blow me out of this place
I feel the wind blowing hard
On my face

I feel the rain beating down
On my face
I feel it swirling around
In my mouth with distaste
I feel it taking me low
I could drowned in this place
I feel the rain beating down
On my face

I feel the sun beating down
on my face
I feel it's turning around
In my space
I feel it taking me low
And put me in my place
I feel the sun beating down
On my face

MOB Basketball

 Our first game was last night and it was exciting 40 to 37 final score. The first quarter we were a head 10 to 6. Now for some back round Mob rules all players must play one full quarter in the first half ok that is simple
but if you don't have 10 players then the coach from the other team get to pick who plays the second quarter with the players that didn't play the first. So our best player Margaret had to set out the second quarter and we had no ball handlers the two girls I held back to do the job got nerves and chocked the other team took the lead 22 to 10 and three of our  girls fouled out in the second quarter.
  The reefers were young lady's and they called every foul I mean every foul now to their credit they were all good calls but these are 5th and 6th grade girls and if you do that the referees did not let the girls play the game it had no rhythm or flow and it took two hours. I understand this is probable some of the first game they have worked and they won't to do a good job. And in doing so they did a bad job. We had 32 fouls on our team alone we finished the game with four player on the court.
  Back to the game or should I say the Margaret show yes this girl is from a different planet. I told her at half time. Just take your time and play us back in the game don't get in know hurry we have plenty of time. And she did exactly that rebound run the whole court layup after layup the other team could not stop her she scored 36 of our 40 points  At the two minute mark Jamie our smallest player got fouled. In practice she has not been able to get the free throw to the basket so I have been working with her on the granny shoot but that little shit stepped up and made both free throws shooting the ball the right way and gave us the lead. She was so proud of her self and so was I. These girls play with a lot of heart.
 Summer worked the bench great keeping the players that fouled out motivated and in the game explaining the rules and showing them what to look for and what to do when they got back in. I know we are going to lose some games and win some games but last night was a special night.

Food Day

Yes food day is not far away it won't be long till we will be stuffing our faces with Turkey and dressing gravy all kinds of vegetables and pies and cakes and snacks. Glasses of tea and beer and mixed drinks yes every thing you can stick in the hole in the front of your face will be available for consumption. This is a feast to thank God for all the bounty he gives us and the way we waste it by being such pigs and gluttons I am sure God does not give this country such great wealth so we can become great big fat pig people walking around with our fat asses and belly's eating everything we can put in our mouths.
 This holiday was to give thanks for a good year of farming and gathering to have the food to make it though the winter In colonial times a lot of people would starve to death in the winter if they did not put enough food away in storage.
 Now we pervert that tradition with food day yes eat all you can pass out on the couch wake up eat some more. Have a few drinks another piece of pie a little turkey sandwich made out of the dinner rolls those
great big dinner rolls. Yes everything is rich everything is fating everything is so good you can't stop eating it.
 There is nothing wrong with giving thanks for all the blessing in our life's that is a great thing. But is this really the right way to do it. I know it worked in the past with the way the world was then. But is it appropriate for us to have a day of gluttony when their are so many people and country's that have so little. That will be the down fall of this country Greed and the exploitation of our fellow man. Some people think you are smart to exploit uneducated people others think it is EVIL. That is a choice you have to make in your own life and then live with it on your death bed. You see it's not until you get close to dying that your conscience kicks in and you realize how wrong you have lived your life selfish and self centered me me me me . I think I will get another piece of pie.
 A toast to the host of starving people in this world.

Megan

I am so excited this has been a wonderful week I talked to One of my daughters for the first time.She just turned 16 on Friday the day after my birthday. Me and her mother divorced when she was 2 years old and I haven't been able to see her because of her mother and grandfather playing that you can't see your kids game
Don't get me started on the custody laws in Texas no the enforcement of the laws It's all about support the money not about being a part of your children's lives spending time with them It's about holding the children hostage for revenge on the other parent.You pay the support but you never get to see your kids. All they are doing is hurting the kids making them emotionally dysfunctional anyway that's that.
 I had a little talk on the phone with Megan and she seem like a intelligent young girl with her whole life a head of her She may be trying to grow up to soon but that's a family trait I hope she can find a way to fight
that you don't won't to grow up to soon you need to be a kid as long as you can enjoy being young. Don't make the big mistakes until you can handle them. Or grow up and don't make them at all. It was really great to talk to her I think about her and her sister Sarah all the time Maybe some day I will talk to Sarah and Megan Then they can get to know their sisters Betsy and Summer that would be great. And their brother Paul..

She's not my Gal

Once I was in the market for love
Then I found myself a sprawling dove
 Hair so white eyes so blue
Their wasn't a thing that I could do
As if I wanted to

I met her down on Waco street
I was just out contemplating my dreams
There she stood in the bright moon light
My eyes were captured in shear delight

I asked her if she would like a drink
The local bar was right down the street
Said she would but could we first
Go by her place and get her purse
I said of course

Fumbled with the light at the front porch door
And for a moment I thought she was a whore
Turning with a smile and a sexy wink
She asked me if I wanted that drink
I said oh please

When she returned and took her place
I thought we were in some kind of race
Snap go the buttons on the lacy gown
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! it's coming down
too the ground

Early next morning she rouse with a smile
Asked me if I would leave in a while
I asked her why she turned away
Said her husband would be home today
I got my anchor and sailed away

Now you know how I met my gal
it's really quite funny now
She is not my Gal

Paul

 My happiest day of all was the day that I met Paul
 He wasn't very big actually he was small
 He is my only son so soon he will be tall
 My happiest day of all was the day that I met Paul

There at the hospital as proud as I could be
 Shaking hands and smoking the cigars were all on me
 He had the prettiest hand his eyes were as blue as the sea
There at the hospital as proud as I could be

The doctor had a question something didn't look just right
His hands were a little soft his eyes were just not bright
There lay my son their was troubles in this night
The doctor had a question something didn't look just right

Another day of waiting then the verdict it was in
He would never be the man I had hoped to begin
This really hurts to tell you your son will never be right
You see he has Downs syndrome that will be his plight

The pain and the guilt I just can't compare
What did I do to ruin my sons affairs
How did this happen who is there to blame
I just need some answers before I go insane

There will never be the answers nor a reason why
Just the cold hard facts that this will be his cry
He will never have a life a life like you and I
There will never be an answer  nor a reason why


My son Paul a happy boy?????????

First Winter Day

It;s windy Wednesday a cold front moves in
November 17th the winter begins
Just another season of snow and of rain
Or is this a more menacing  frigged refrain

Could this be the cold that the warming foretold
Are the sea currants changing the climates control
Is this the place where the process begins
Where the ice slowly engulfs us once again.

It is so so cold for a November day
The clouds the darkness the sun has no rays
It seems so weak up there in the sky
No power no heat it surely won't die

The wood in the fire is burning away
As the house moans and creeks from the wind as she sways
The doors and windows  there whistle is gloom
And the shutters they slap at the walls of this tomb

Frozen birds fall from the sky
Will the cats and dogs eat out there eyes
Or will they lay there to be covered with Ice
And wait on the worms to eat all there lice

It's just the winter It's just the first day
They'll be many more to come and to play
Don't be afraid and don't be  distraught
Spring will be here with just another thought

The Dealer

As I am walking down this dusty road
I see my fortune writen on a scroll
When I read it and precieved what it said
It fortold I would soon get busted

Standing on the coner at the edge of the world
Trying to find me a one time girl
Somebody who can make me see.
This life I live is the life of a junky

It's a dusty dusty road boy
It's a heave heave load boy
It's a ruff and rocky road boy
Sellin dope ----------dope.

See I am a dealer sellin dope is my game
I am standing here in the fucking rain
Waiting for my conection you see
To buy some cocaine or some LSD.

Well the law will come and get me one day
They'll say now son well you have to pay
They take me downtown and they lock me up
Yea they take away my loving cup

It's a dusty dusty road boy
It's a heave heave load boy
It's a ruff and rocky road boy
Selling dope  Selling dope

Butthaism

 Yes I heard the voice what the world needs now is a new religion Judaism Chirstainty, Islam have all drooped the ball. The big three are losing out to all these startup cults Scientology Buddha ,Hairy Krishna's
Atheism they are all taking a piece of the pie. Nobody believes in religions anymore most people still believe in God but not in organized religion because it is so corrupt it's about money not about God.
 God created the universe but he needs your money that is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
the preacher needs the money and if he was working for God. God would give it to him. He would not need to beg you for money. Or try and make you feel guilty then take your money
 It's like when George Harrison  went to India he fell for Buddhism then he brought his buddies with him it did not take John Lennon long to figure out all they wanted was money just like the Churches back home.
  So my new religion is called Buttha that is right our graven image is the ass of a beautiful woman we still believe in God but we pray to the Buttha the ass of a beautiful woman Put your hands on it.Put your face in it
rub it it's as smooth as Buttha I was studding some old books I found under a rock in my back yard and it told a tale of a ancient people called the Assholys and they worshiped the Buttha yes they put there hands on it. They stuck there face in it They rubbed it. They were a great nation 10,000 years ago they knew more than we know now They lived in tents and wiped there ass with there hands but they had great knowledge 
of the spirit world and were moved to worship a woman's ass. It says in there book from the smelly ass of a woman will come good shit. So there you have it everybody wants good shit. There is no need to donate money to this religion because everything is payed for. They put money into cds thousands of years ago and are living off the interest. Yes just like rich people do today. All there priest are bi sexual so they can moleste
anyone the same as the Catholics. They will leave know stone unturned in there quest to be come the worlds
new super religion its a fight with the Mormons Morons. But the Assholys are a proud people and many of there dissidents are still here today I myself am a  Chief of the Assholys and there are many more like me
just waiting to get our hands on the reins of power so we can show everyone how big a assholy we really are.
 This is not to be confused with Bubbaism a cult that is trying to take hold in the deep south. It is a kin to nepotism and cronyism. That is when you are so in breed your friends and your family are the same for a 200 mile radius. This is a growing problem in the south that is why we are going to let the Morons I mean Mormons have them they speak the same language you know is you sister good in bed.
 That's all for now I will be letting everyone know how the new temple in Dallas is coming along the ten billion dollar super dereair cathedral and shopping mall. It's all gas..

We Don't Care

As I am standing by the chair
I feel my heartbeat and I am scared
All the love is fading fast
Your time with me was never meant to last

Dusty promises at my door
With all  your lies upon the floor
You say you don't need me there
But the pains  beyond compare

Then I turn away I wonder to myself
Is this what I really wanted or should I put you back on the shelf
I don't care, cause you don't care,so we don't care.

I am looking deep inside your soul
I see your life's now in control
Do you ever stop and stare
And see the life that we once shared

I am looking right in to the light.
I fight the feelings of the night
The sparkling glimmer of your hair
You steal the show but you don't care.

 Time and time again I tried to be your friend
 But now the time has finally come for this to really end
 I don't care, cause you don't care, cause I don't care
 So we don't care. Let's end it there.

B.B. Practice

 Well today was our first basketball practice with our MOB team I am the coach and Summer is my assistant
  we are trying to give back for all the great coaches Summer has had over the last 6 years And let me tell you it is a lot easier to coach a team that does not have your daughter on it as a player.
 We started with the old layup drill two lines right hand first then left. Then we went to the three person weave working on our passing. After that we did the star drill passing passing passing. I had the girls play a little three on two just to see how they handled the ball. Then I gave them the speech The most important thing in basketball is 1 keep you eye on the ball 2 Protect your self at all times 3 there is no I in team 4 have fun this is a game. 5 Your going to win some your going to lose some and some get rained out.6 don't be to serious don't be scared. Then back to practice and learning to rebound get the ball to the out side lanes and push the ball run the  fast break They tell me the other teams are going to press so we worked on breaking the press and our free throws. After a short meeting with the parents it was over all and all a nice hour. 

Storms

 Windy walks the clouds across.
  Another day to this storm is tossed
  The sun is trying to regain the day
  Stormy clouds are in the way
  Two by two the tree limbs break
   Along the land the storm it racks
  Tears of rain puddle on my face
  As the storm begin to race
  Mountain streams over flow their banks
 We give the lord this storm our thanks
  Lightening flashed and the thunder blast
  The storm of storms begins to past
  The freshness of the air is beyond belief
  As the storm disappears with a rainbows relief


                                                   This is a poem Summer Melody and I wrote for Summer's speech class
                                                    it was a lot of fun for us....Hope she gets a good grade....

Death ((With Out You))

  Sunday was a bad day.
  I got the news you passed away.
  Is it really true.
  My heart broke in two

 Monday came and I was at work
 I felt just like a total jerk.
 Why am I here with out you
 Here with out you 'ou

 With out you my dreams they seam to slip way
  With out you I have no songs to play
  With out you
  Yes with out you my world is now gray

 Tuesday came and she took my pain.
 Wednesday night well I felt the strain
 Is it really true?
 Am I with out you?

Thursday and Friday came and went
 Thinking about the times that I spent
Alone with you.
 They were too few.

Saturday the week was done.
The pain that's in side has my soul on the run.
 Is this really true?
 I have to live my life with out you...

Show and Chance

The hardest thing to do in life is to show up it sounds simple but it is half the battle. Be there on time ready to do what ever the task at hand is. And have the appropriate attitude be mentally ready if you are going to be running get your self pumped up if you have to perform precision task calm your self down use your breathing exercises and some sort of music training to control your emotions. Once you tell your brain what you want to do and you go through your pre shot  routine then you have to get out of your way mentally and just do it that is the way to handle pressure. Yes the pressure over the golf ball at the free throw line the pool table the tennis serve the volleyball serve the pitchers mound anytime you have to initiate the action That's when you have time to think and you have time to chock. Sports is like being a musician you practice a task then you find a stage and you put on a show that is right any time you put you self in front of a audience you are putting on a show people want to see how good you can play and the key word here is PLAY .     
  Don't be afraid of adrenaline or nerves embrace the adrenaline learn to play with it that is what elevates your skills to a whole new level you run faster you jump higher your hearing your vision your touch are all sharpened So use that to play your very best.
  The other thing to being a good performer or player is give your self a chance. That's right don't try and make the hero play every time Be steady be controlled put your self in a position to win be consistent Sometimes you have to go for the par 5s in two but you make more birdies and pars laying up whereas you could play your self right out of the round tiring to hard and making a really bad shot. Second pays a whole lot more than tenth It's like playing music don't play the hardest piece you know unless you are playing for musicians otherwise just do something simple that you can play well while making good eye contact with the
crowd and making them part of it. Give your self a chance to be great.. A perfect example of this is a country singer named Willy Nelson he did it so long he became great in his profession

Shallowater Basketball Nov. 8

Just a little this and that about the basketball season here. It is Nov. and the season is just kicking off the 8th grade girls went to Andrews Monday and had a tremendous start beating up on them 66 to 4 I know that sound unbelievable but that was the final score How a 3AAA school of 8th graders can only score 4 points
in a basketball game. I don't know. The 7th graders won also handily.
 Last night we went to the Varsity game the Fillies against Post and it was another blow out 84 to 36 or some thing like that it was not close. The only reason we went was to see Sharon Harkey play she is a freshman who was moved up to varsity this year And we have seen her play all through little dribblers and middle school she is just a real good kid and a very aggressive basketball player. We wanted to see how she played her first game on the big stage of Shallowater Girls Basketball and true to form she played outstanding double digit scoring great defence nice passing from the point guard position an all around great start to what we hope is a great career as a Filly. The other standout was Ashton Elliott the freshman from last year she has the quickest hands I have ever seen she get more steals than any two other players on the team.
 Sara Warren had a excellent performance she was taking the ball to the hoop and finishing like a real seasoned player wait a minute she is a real seasoned player and it showed big time last night. If any one was wondering who was going to fill the spot left open by last years standout player Hailey Burton wonder know more it's Sara Warren. Katie Fowler played her usual solid game nothing fancy just good ball handling and good passing and shooting she is a rock. Brook Hatcher played a good game . Kylee Smith played a good game needs to get the three point shot going I am sure she will start hitting them soon come on girl you got that shot. Rebekah Jones made her varsity debut last night and appears to be the next starting post player she played very good . Westbrook played a good game a few bad passes a few bad fouls but over all  she played OK It's really hard to play post  if you don't have the height. She plays a physical game down low alot of pushing and shoving that will work until you have to play a real post player that is tall they will shoot over you and then you foul out. That is this teams Achilles heal. There post play. They have four post players and they all are good a different parts of the game but none can handle the ball the length of the court.Pounds is a good shot blocker Jones can shoot it down low, Westbrook is a great defensive player. Brawley is a good shooter from 10 foot and in jumpers. So we are just going to have to see how this year turns out
 By the way it does look like coach Darden has put together another great team with all the talent he has to chose from it  must be very hard to decide who's stay on JV and who moves up to Varsity because the JV
could beat the Varsity on the right day that's how good they are..

The Hole in your Soul

  I have a niece but  I will not use her name in this piece because it's personal to say the least. But she called me the other day and was asking me a lot of questions about her mother and father and why she was done the way she was. She was taken away when she was young and put into foster care as a result of an abusive
situation I am not going to go into details because it was along time ago and it is not important to the article.
 Well really it is important it is the whole point of the piece but not the gory details. It's like this in this modern
society we live in everyone has a hole in there soul it's a void inside that they try and fill with something. You
are not pretty enough your not big enough your not smart enough you don't have enough money you have to much money your black your brown your white your insecure you were abused as a child this is one of the
largest holes to fill. Your bald you are to hairy your fat your to skinny you are to good looking something is wrong with you I don't care who you are everyone feels this way sometimes or all the time.
  Now we have all of these substances that alter our state of consciousness and allow us to be happy with ourselves when we are using them and they are Alcohol, Pot, Cocaine, Heroin,Nicotine, Caffeine
Money yes money is one of the substances people abuse to over come filings of inadequacies that is what drives most people to overachieve  yes successful people are real insecure people work and money is there drugs. The population of America is way over drugged because we live in an unnatural life of over worked under payed and constant pressure for more, more, more, and more. The more Monster is on everyone's back telling them you need a bigger house you need a better car you need to move to a bigger city more things there more opportunities. more kids more friends more shit you need more SHIT.
  The problem is none of this stuff makes you happy it does for a few minutes but it don't last unless you are so fucking shallow you truly believe a new car can fill your spiritual needs the hole in your soul and there are people out there who are that shallow. They are like the cat in the yard all they see is the mouse to eat they don't think about taking the mouses life. But for most of us caring people we feel this way at some time or  another and you just have to come to the conclusion you have to be happy with who you are because you can't be someone else and you would not be happy as them either. and if someone tries to put you down they are just showing there insecurity that's right they are so weak they need to feel superior to you so they put you down to build them self's up all they are showing is there weakness feel sorry for that person they have real emotional problems. They could be homosexual this is a big hole I am not good enough for the opposite sex so I will have relationships with my own gender that way if I am rejected I won't care..
  Just be happy in your own skin and realize this is your life and you live it the way you won't and do the best you can and remember being rich and famous just shows how insecure you are and in 50 years nobodies
going to remember who you where. Nothing really matters it's all in vain..so don't take your self to serious..
If you think you are really good at something you are probably not.. If you are constantly working to get better at something then you probably are......

























 
 

Money an Evil Concept

 Money is a interesting concept if you will work like a dog for me all day I will give you this piece of paper and with it you can get food and a roof over your head and alcohol to make the pain go away from working all day and sex with a woman. Then you wake up and do it again the next day and the next and the next and the next.Until your life is over and someone puts your body in the cold dark ground yes that is right the COLD DARK GROUND.
  It use to be that one group of people would capture another and enslave them with more advanced technology swords knifes guns ships whatever gave one side the advantage over the other then they were made to work for these people for ever as slaves. The penalty for losing is death but if we let you live you have to work for us the rest of your life because your life was over when we captured you now your life belongs to us this is the thought process of slavery they were actually doing you a favor sparing your life and making you a slave. Then the exploitation of man over man fell out of favor in the 19th century so they had to develop a new system of slavery. Now money had always been around but very few people had any and most had no need for it they lived off of the land. You can't get someone to do things if they live off the land and are independent and don't need your money. But as the land runs out and there are more and more people then you can't live that way so here comes money and the industrial revolution and economic slavery
Yes we are right back where we started minimum wage, contract labor, piece work, salaries you don't work you don't eat. What is all this work for the human race is on a runaway train of productivity for what make more money to buy more shit you don't need exploit people all over the world so the people in the US can all live like Kings. The human race should be working together for the common good of the Planet not for the few in Washington and London and Tokyo, Berlin, Rome Moscow all the major economic centers of the world. This is mans biggest falling greed and the exploitation of his fellow man. So do you need more money the instrument that has corrupted the whole world.. It says in the bible the love of money is evil but realy all
money is evil...Because money is power and power is evil look what it has done to this world!!!!!!!!!!







  

Plainview Tournament

  Can you say early morning yes 6 o'clock. Today was Summer's last Golf tour. of the year we had to be in Plainview by 8 o'clock for the shotgun start and its an hour drive on the interstate so just to be on the safe side we always leave a little before so if we have any problems we will still make it. We get there just fine no problemos but it is cold then the wind kind of picks up it is just a little uncomfortable not bad if you are moving Summer starts off slow she is jerking off the ball then she starts not rotating her shoulders and getting behind the ball so she is blocking her drives way to the right it does not look like it's going to be a very good day but she hangs in there and wrights the ship starts getting behind it better and hitting some fairways and greens gets some confidence then her putter heats up she drowns a 30 footer for par on a par3
Starts to smile and play golf instead of trying to hit the ball yea it's funny the harder you try to hit the ball the worst it gets but when you let go and just pick a spot or target and shoot the ball at it then you are playing golf and it is fun. I know 112 is not a very good score but for a 13 year old girl it's not bad and when you win the first place metal all those bad shoots just fade in to past and that 30 foot putt she will never forget
Golf is a game of confidence and the more you have the better you do in life.........

Eminem Not afraid

Not Afraid is what I think Eminems come back song. Talking about when he falls into the world of drugs and everything else, that he might or might not need help getting back up on his feet. In his song he says like "Everybody come take my hand, we'll walk this world together through the storms whatever weather." I guess what he is trying to say here is that he wants help sometimes with all the things he goes through in life. When he says a few lyrics later is "So starting today I'm breaking out of this cage." Like i think he is saying that what ever he is going through he is going to be a man and take care of his problems whether he gets help or not. "It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me admittedly I probably did some of it for you so i can come back a brand new me." What Eminem is trying to say is that he is done with drugs. No more rehab and that his family helped him through it.

Paige's Question

 Now you have to understand Paige is my niece and she is just 13 so even though she is very bright she has very little experience in life so when she posted this question on her facebook Page I was impressed with her cleverness at first then as I thought about it her innocence became apparent. Here is the question and her answer. If you were stranded on a desert island what one thing would you take with you???? and her answer was a boat to get of the island. that is clever but then I thought to my self what does the island represent.
 I was standing on a dock in Kemah TX one time with a friend of mine we were just killing time waiting to go  sailing on Galveston Bay it was a beautiful Nov. day not to hot not to cold just perfect so I turned to my friend and asked looking out over the water what does that scene mean to you and with out a moments hesitation
he said freedom this is one of the reasons he and I were such good friend we thought alot a like.
 Well now the island is the same thing it is freedom. No job no money no people no law no responsibility
you live or die off your wits. the last thing you would want is a boat to get off the island.
Civilisation is like a prison you live in your house you go to your job you pay your bills you  have relationships with other people you live you love you die. You are alway preparing for tomorrow so you never live now you are always planing for this for that its never right now lets do it now lets have fun now
lets play now lets be alive now. That's the way life is suppose to be lived but not here in a industrialized country there are rules and regulations and political correctness it is stifling. So the freedom of a desert island you don't need no dam boat just someone to enjoy it with.....    

Summer in Amarillo

 Just playin some golf

The Parties

 There are two political parties in the Jewnighted States one is the Republicans or lets just call then the reptiles they don't care about anyone but themselves they will eat there own. If there is money in it.
 Next is the Democrats they are The dogs they are going to save the poor and the planet with taxes. Yes tax the rich give to the poor they have the Robin Hood syndrome. Oh and the reptiles believe in God they never pass any laws to back that position up they just talk about it when they are trying to get elected.
We are going to change Roe verses Wade abortion is wrong So all the bible thumpers in the south and the Midwest say that's right killing baby's is wrong we are voting for the reptiles but they never change the law.It's a smoke screen they don't talk about sending jobs overseas or the price of gas or food or health care or anything all the time they are screwing the people they are talking about God. It is a shame poor uneducated people are deceived by men like Ronald Reagen a bad actor who acted like President for eight years and did exactly what he was told by big business the man never had an original thought in his life. That is what big business does they back someone half the country will hate and the other half loves. That way the two parties never get anything done and big business rolls on unchecked. Now we have Obama black democrats love him white reptile hate him Next time they will run a white woman and she will win
the dogs will hate her and the reptiles will love her so 6 more years of nothing for the American People
That is the way big business has taken over this country. Because they know the educated people that live on the coasts don't believe in god and the people in the middle of the country do.Rich people don't need god
money is there god they have a problem they pay to get it fixed. Poor people need God. That is what divides this country... the world. And if you get someone in there who can't be bought they will just kill him. The Kennedy's  Now we have the Tea Party who financed them........

The Problem

 I have not felt like my self for the last couple of years I was tried all the time no energy my muscles were always sore. In the mornings I could barely walk I thought it was because I am getting older over 50 now
well it is just natural to fell this way then I started to swell up my ankles and hand and I gained about fifty pounds I was retaining water then I was real constipated I am thinking shit what is going on here I fell like crap. I was at the golf course playing a rare round of golf and I reached down to get my ball out of the hole and riped the ass out of my pants. I have never been over weight my whole life.
  My daughter Summer had qualified for the tour championship in Dallas in her junior golf league so we load up and drive down there so she can play. Now keep in mind it is August in Texas the temperature is 104 and the humidity is 90 % and we are down there at a Pete Dye course and it is up and down and all over the place it takes 7 hours to play 18 holes my girl drinks 30 bottles of water me and her both are on the verge of a heat stroke. It was a two day tour and I pulled her out the next day because I could not make it.
 After that we came home and I had to go to the hospital I thought I had a heat stroke in Dallas but come to find out I have hypothyroidism and I was deathly ill. At one point I was waking up for a few hours then going back to bed and sleeping all day up a couple of hours then sleeping all night.I was in a dazz I thought I was going to die I just knew I was going to go to sleep and never wake up that's when I went to the hospital
now I feel better but the medicine levothyroxine I am taking makes me feel like shit so I don't know hopefully
someday I will get better if I can find a different medicine that does not make me sick...

China Golf

Well they are over in China Playing golf this week and Tiger Woods showed up shot a respectable 68
good for him maybe he is going to get back on track after a disappointing year so far anyway it's a start
  Lee West wood is leading the tour after the first round shooting a 66 that is impressive being named number
one in the rankings last weekend.
 Phil Mickelson is three under so lefty not off the pace by much any thing can happen with him.
 There is a guy from China tied for the lead after the first day but probably won't hold up all four rounds
they usually don't. That is what's happening in China today.

The Eagles

 Last week the Eagles came to town and did there once every two year show. They are a great band especially back in the 70's when they were popular. And everyone I talked to said they put on a superb show. However it is hard for me to go and see a band that I know all the words and music to every song they ever wrote.. I am afraid I would be disappointed in there sound the only way it would measure up is if they lip synced it. then I would be very upset about that, the nerve of them..I know I know every song brings back a memory I was here the first time I heard that song on and on and on. But a whole evening sitting there listening to old men sing songs from my youth it does not appeal to me. I guess I am just not that nostalgic Anyway it was a good show and everyone had a good time. A friend told me at one point he got a Peaceful Easy Feeling When he went to the bathroom he saw a Witchy Woman standing in the hall. When he came out she was All Ready Gone..And he so wanted to sleep with her in the desert tonight.But that is what happens at a eagles concert. There is going to be a Heartache Tonight I know. Somebody stop me... Ha Ha

Election

  This is off topic but the election was yesterday and the people have spoken again help we need jobs we need growth we need the economy to make a come back this is the same cry for help displayed in 2008 went the people elected Obama We need change!!! We need change!!! That is all I hear I don't hear anyone talking about what to do to fix the economy. The Republican Reptiles give money to the rich and they will spend  and the trickle down effect will put money in everyone's pocket.that works for the rich......
 The Democrats Dogs they are so loyal and compassionate they want to help everybody Tax the rich and give to the poor the Robin Hood complex The problem is Like Thomas Jefferson said democracy will work until someone gets enough money to buy the system and that is where we are now big business owns our government and has beginning after World war two. So it does not matter what Party is elected they can't change nothing they do what they are told and if they don't someone else is elected in there place.  Come the next election  Its like health care the Insurance Company's The Drug Company's The Medical Industry there is no way we will ever have health care in America they are to rich to let that happen.
  A kid hear in town had a wreck on a four wheeler broke her leg broke her back dislocated her hip she was in the hospital two months $ 200,000 bill they had insurance payed 80%  20% out of pocket $40,000
don't have the money the hospital puts a len against there house that is health care in america. That is why they don't want to fix it they are getting rich..In another two years we will elect another whipping boy who wants to go down in history as President of the United States. And the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and that is the way it will always  be.

Rangers

 Well it was to good to be true the rangers gave it a great run but the out come was preordained it is hard to be John Travolta the first time you go to the dance.. There is a learning curve in every sport after you become a good player then you have to learn how to win. How to play under pressure. When you are a kid you just play and let the chips fall where they may. But as you get older you think to much you get in your own way
mentally.All the sudden you have all this adrenaline pumping through your brain and you are thinking don't chock don't chock so you chock cause that is what you are thinking about. These are pro baseball player you say they are not suppose to feel pressure, they don't in the regular season or in the playoffs but the world series this is a defining moment in all these players career and that it when the nerves come in to play.
 Every Sunday you see some guy walking down the 18 fairway with a one stroke lead in a golf tour and wonder is he going to chock that is what golf is about not hitting a little ball but seeing if you can perform under the pressure of having to play right now. And every weekend golf courses all across this country are
full of people seeing if they have the mental strength to make that shot when it counts.
  Its like a hunter shooting a bear a alligator a big cat an animal that can kill the hunter if he does not hit the target. That is the only way to see if you can find the zone and focus on the task at hand or are you going to chock under the pressure. Now put your self in that position with a gun or a golf club and millions of people watching now make that shot.So don't be so hard on the Rangers...

Mob Basketball

Summer and I are coaching a girls basketball team this year we just started but it looks like we are going to have a real fun time working with a bunch of extremely talented kids. We will be profiling each player and there accomplishments as the season progresses  Also keeping tabs on Summers season with the school they moved up to 3AAA this year and the competition is going to be alot stiffer That is it on the basketball front for now..

Muleshoe Football

After decades of being one of the worst football school on the south plains the Muleshoe Mules have turned
it around. Winning the State championship last year for small 2AA schools was right out of the blue no one
picked them or even considered them to be a contender but low and behold know one told the kids and they played to win and did. Now this year they have moved up in class to the large 2AA division and are playing just as impressive as last year. There only stumble this year has been Bushland and they were runners up last year in the large 2AA division so they are a formidable team. As the season whines down and the playoff picture becomes clearer we will just have to see if the Mules can make it back to back Championships even it they don't they have had a great two years.
