I was reading this and that so here is my comment.

I link to sites that have interesting comments, news, games, and weird infromation. I try to find different items that won't be found on other Blogs. During my search for stuff, I sometimes come across sites or blogs that I keep going back to again and again. So to placate my laziness I put the site on my links page. It's that simple. I don't care about political slant, or opinion. If I like it...it gets linked. I have been known to delete links. The deletion occurs because the site becomes stale or because I've lost interest. It's simple really. Getting linked or linking to sites isn't a scorecard to see who wins. Although getting a few more hits on the ole counter would be nice. To those who do read, I appreciate it and in the words of Acidman "link to me I'll link to you."

Thanks Zack, this kept me up all night! You Bastard! :) Sometimes I don't know if I should thank Zack or kill him. He is responsible for my blogging Madness. He would be slack about posting to his site and I found my self reading this and that and sometimes the other thing. Oh well, what ya gonna do?

I was reading Acidman's Blog today, as I do every day. He had an interesting reminenence of days in his youth playing football. I too awake each day like Nick Nolte in North Dallas Forty. Cracking and popping about 60 joints back into place, I start my day aching and hurting from the scars of Football. My ankles hurt the worst. Limping around each day until the pain goes away. Eating dirt as a Offensive lineman and Tight end left many scars. My body is so poorly out of shape now because of the early years of weight training and bulking up. I wasn't healthy enough to play college ball. (ankle injuries) I don't really know if I want my sons to play or not. On one hand the Team Building and leadership qualities I've aquired through the game vs injuries and lasting pain. I think I'll let them play if the enjoy the game. I won't push them into it. As for Golf...Hate It. I guess because I suck at it. I learned early on that I was not made for this game. I remember out at the Driving Range, I hit a ball hooked (or was it a slice) so badly it hit a guy at the end of the range line. Do you yell "fore" at the range? I am truly a hazard with club in hand. Although I must admit I enjoy golf on television. It puts me to sleep every time.

I’ve been reminiscing quite a lot lately. I don’t know why my mind has wondered into the past lately. Maybe it has to do with a small tear in the space-time continuum. Just to let you in on a little secret… I am a time traveler. I know what your thinking…” This guy has flipped.” No really, I have the ability to travel through time. Unfortunately I can only travel forward one day at a time, never to return to the past. Man, there’s always a catch.
I haven’t been able to keep up with all the television I’ve been missing because of my various work schedules. When I do watch I find myself watching music videos. Man, What happened? Music used to be… ummm… good. I don’t hate it wholesale. There are a few good tunes out there, but they are few and far between. Some of the videos are cool but the songs suck or the song is good, but the video is crap. It’s rare that both are good. I remember when MTV actually showed music videos… what happened? Thank God for talk radio.

A national religion established by The Supreme Court? Here's another way to look at it.

Here's a great parable summing up our country's delima.

After reading this and this I had to comment.

I wouldn’t say that I’m religious; I am very spiritual though. I believe in Christian principles and try to live by them. I believe that our Founding Fathers also believed in these same principles. From a legal perspective, it is clear that our legal system is derived from the Ten Commandments. If you read The Bible from a legal viewpoint…(God’s Law), it is easy to see that biblical books represent a legal perspective. The Law given to Moses by God, often referred to as the Pentateuch (first five books) or the Torah. The Ten Commandments, 613 statutes, and 248 judgments of the Old Testament do not actually begin until Exodus 20. Parts of this Law have been codified into our statute law. The law was apparently acknowledged at one time in Washington D.C. by someone. The outside of the Supreme Court building has a bas-relief of Moses holding the Ten Commandments. Basic legal and societal beliefs and principles are different from spiritual and religious beliefs.
From a gambler’s perspective it is a safer bet to believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour. If you believe and there is no Saviour then you have really lost nothing. You are just worm food. If you don’t believe and there is no Saviour, again worm food. However, if you do believe and there is a Saviour you will have a rewarding afterlife. But if you don’t believe and there is a Saviour, Damnation is your reward. I like safe bets.
I try to respect everyone’s opinion although I may not agree. I have a Theory of Community. Communities are groups of like- minded people with similar attitudes, beliefs, interests, etc. People move to a community because they share similar things. For example, A Neighborhood Association, all houses pretty much the same, bans pick-up trucks. Trucks must be parked out of view. Ok, I have a truck. Guess which neighborhood I’m not moving to? The choice is a simple one. Live and accept the community rules (Laws, Language, Etc.) or try to change it. Change is hard, but can happen. A third choice is to move and start my own community. (Nudists maybe) Expand from a Neighborhood to a City to a State to a Country. If I were a Muslim Communist why would I want to move to a Christian capitalist society? I was taught that America is a Great Melting Pot. Bullshit, we have small communities called Chinatown, Little Italy, and Little Mexico. Where’s the Melting? Not until about the 3rd generation.
America is a community built on certain principles and ideals. Change is not welcome but can happen. Try to assimilate.

What time is it? I don't really remember coming home last night. A tall, cold glass of water and a handful of aspirin; I'll be fine. Thanks to Greg (the bartender) and my lack of willpower, I drank more weird shit last night. See, I like bourbon, Wild Turkey to be exact. So Greg said, " I'll make you a Jim Jones Kool-aid." Well...It sucked. So Greg said, "If you don't like it... I'm buying." So as it would seem, I'm drinking for free. Greg is buying. Well, the other customers heard of Greg's situation and whipped out the ROLODEX. Making a long story short (my eyes hurt) I'll list the drinks:

Margarita, rocks: Good but It had black floaties in it. Greg buys

Wild Turkey: Great I buy

Jim Jones Kool-aid: yuck Greg buys

Jim Jones Kool-aid V2: nasty

Urine Sample: This one was actually good

Lizard Dick: Pretty good, I buy

Nuclear Tea: Awful

Red Devil: Bad but I didn't care any more, Greg buys

Sex on the Beach: Too sweet but I really bought it for Trisha

It seems like there could be 1 or 2 more...I just can't seem to remember. I would like to thank Priscilla, my wife. I called and she came to my rescue. She didn't give me any shit. Just took me home. Today, however, She's all in my ass and I deserve it.
