I Got What America Needs Right Here

photo of Jimmy CarterSometimes I'm a little stupid, maybe, a little slow in the head, so I'm wondering if you can help me get something straight. Maybe you can help me understand one fucking thing right now, America, and explain to me what in the Christ is going on here. 'Cause, unless I'm missing something, this country is in the middle of a motherfucking shitstorm, and I have no fucking idea what you're gonna do to get out of it. I mean, are you seriously considering voting for one of these shitbags you got here in '08? Fat fucking chance.

Arianna: Back on the Pitch
Written by Administrator

soccer ball imageWhat a weekend for Arianna.  Her debut for the Milton Dynamite on Saturday went well.  She wasn't always sure of where to go and what to do (tentative since it was only her 2nd game with the Dynamite),  but in the end she played hard, scored a goal and has a little fun.  She doesn't know anyone on her team (all 6th grade girls), but seemed to fit right in.

Sunday was a completely different game.  She plays on a mixed team with Genesis and Alexis and having boys makes the game completely different.  Much faster, much more intense.  The boys can kick the ball almost the length of the field (the indoor pitch is much smaller than the outdoor field) and they do it a lot.  This lends itself to a lot of back and forth action, thus, many scoring chances.

This was Ari's first game with the Cobras (green, ugly uniforms) and like the Saturday game, she scored (the team's only goal) and definitely cemented her place on the team.  While I don't care for the green uniforms, the team has some hustlers and they're a lot of fun to watch.

It was a long, busy weekend.  We fit in lots of fun, but man oh man will it be nice to have a little breathing room.

Friday night... met Dan Maki at the Monkey for a couple beers.  Nice to just sit around and chat.  It's been too long since I've done that.  Got home, read a little and hit the hay.  Nice to get to bed early.

Saturday morning I was up by 5 am.  Worked on the Death Star in preparation for it's sale to Todd Duane.  Removing files, zapping applications and just making sure the security is setup for Todd.  Left home about 7:30 am to participate in a marketing competition at Oregon High School.  I was a judge and it was really fun.  The kids I was judging had to market a new video game to replace or update Guitar Hero.  The kids came up with "Non-stop Pop, Rap Riot, Country Hoe Down" to name a few.  Very interesting exercise and a lot of fun.  I would do it again in a minute.

A Problem of the Brain, Not the Hands

my angry faceGroup Urges Phone Ban for Drivers

(the article below appeared in the New York Times at: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/health/13well.html?_r=1&8dpc ; I can see Dax saying "Don't gimme that f*cking bullsh*t!")

In half a dozen states and many cities and counties, it is illegal to use a hand-held cellphone while driving — but perfectly all right to talk on a hands-free device.

The theory is that it’s distracting to hold a phone and drive with just one hand. But a large body of research now shows that a hands-free phone poses no less danger than a hand-held one — that the problem is not your hands but your brain.
