Ready, Set, Go

Why is it that people who are unhappy with themselves have to spew their anger and negativity toward others? I don't do that to other people, so don't do that to me. Don't look down on someone because they are different. Just because someone else has a different point of view doesn't mean they are wrong, in some cases they may be more right then you think. That's the great thing about this country, we can do and say almost anything we want. Now, don't be going to extremes on me, you know what I mean by almost.

My point is, people deserve to be happy, don't be negative all the time, and live your life. Life is much to short to be a down and out, negative bitch. If you disagree, I pray for you, because you need it more than anyone else.

Reality check people.....

Don't Worry, Be Happy
by Bob Marley

Here's a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
But when you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy
Don't worry be happy now

[CHORUS]
Don't worry,be happy.Don't worry,be happy.
Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry,be happy.

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry,be happy.
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry,be happy.

[CHORUS]
(Look at me--I'm happy.Don't worry,be happy.
Here I give you my phone number. When you worry,call me,
I make you happy.Don't worry,be happy.)

Ain't got no cash,ain't got no style
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
Don't worry,be happy.
'Cause when you worry your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
Don't worry,be happy.

[CHORUS]
(Don't worry.Don't worry.Don't do it.
Be happy.Put a smile on your face.
Don't bring everybody down.
Don't worry.It will soon pass,whatever it is.
Don't worry,be happy.
I'm not worried;I'm happy.)

March

Well here it is. Ending another month and starting another. Time sure does fly. Life is great right now, Some aches and pains but I'm not getting any younger. I have now been sober for 83 days, and honestly it doesn't really effect me any more. I have lost 34 lbs so far and i am working toward my goal of 100 lbs total loss. When I go back into the Army I want to be as fit and light as possible, and I want to be able to pass the PT test, if not Max it before I leave. Not an easy task I know, but its doable. Here's a list of what i need for PT scores, 60% is Passing, and 100% is Max: (60%/100%)

Push-Ups    36 / 75
Sit-ups        42  / 76
2 Miles   17:42 / 13:18

There's my goals.... Not going to be easy by any means, but if I bust my ass, I will Succeed.....

Well Here it is

Well after much speculation from my friends and family, I am here with the news of my plans. Some of you already know this, some of you don't but just to clear the air on some things, so here it is.

I am going back into the army.

I know for some of you its not a big surprise. I'm not sure whether or not it will be in the reserves or active, but it is going to be done. I still have some weight to lose, and I have to get my body conditioned to run 3 miles, that way I will have no problem running my Pt test. A lot of the things that go with the army have yet to be decided, like what job, and so forth, but just know that I will do whats best for me. Yes, I am still in my selfish its all about Sam mode, but you know what, If I'm not going to take care of my self, who is?

Well that's all for now, much peace and love to you all.

Football suspensions

OK, Here's another one of Sam's soon to be famous rants.

Why are you going to suspend a head coach for paying players for good hits. Obviously, the referee's weren't doing their jobs if these hits were illegal. If the coaches were owners, this would be OK. Tell me a defensive player doesn't hit a little harder on a contract year, and I will tell you that you are full of shit. I mean come on now, they have already put skirts on quarterbacks, whats next? Football is going to turn into flag football. Let the guys play the game. They get paid enough to fix the medical problems that they incur. Maybe I'm being insensitive, but as a football fan, I don't want to see the league turn to shit.

March Madness (part 2)

Well hello again world. Hope you had a great weekend! Mine was good. Friday I fished (didn't catch shit). Saturday, I hung out with a few friends, went to the Moose lodge, then played football. My football team is now 4-0 and still in first place, with out two toughest games coming in weeks six and seven. Sunday, I went to the Moose again, then went home and did some cleaning.

Anyway, lets get to business...

Remember my March Madness predictions earlier in the month? No you don't remember them.... Well here they are again:

My Final Four is:


Kentucky, Ohio State, Marquette, Kansas


Championship Game: Kentucky vs. Kansas


National Champion:

Kentucky.....


Well, three out of four isn't too bad for the final four. I'm not sure what happened to Marquette, but hey nobody is perfect. Now lets see if Kentucky and Kansas can do their jobs on Saturday night. I unfortunately won't be able to watch them because I have a football game at 7pm, but I will watch the highlights on Sportscenter!

Friday, March 23, 2012

Another week bites the dust!

Good Morning world! Its Friday, and we all know what that means! The weekend is upon us.

I'm thinking I'm fishing this weekend. Football on Saturday night, hopefully I can play, the back is still a little sore, but feeling much better then it has. Sunday is going to be a cleaning and running day, gotta keep getting in shape. BIG things are still to come!

Well that's all for now. I leave you with a song.

Home Sweet Homeby: Motley Crue
 You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So, I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right
Doesn't mean they're always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long and winding road

I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Home sweet home, tonight tonight
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometime, nothing keeps me together
At the seams

I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Home sweet home, tonight tonight
I'm on my way, just set me free
Home sweet home

Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Ooh, I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Home sweet home, yeah
I'm on my way, just set me free
Home sweet home

How to Fix Congress- Warren Buffet

The Following article was taken from a key west blog. It was asked to be forwarded in the message, but I think that Warren Buffett may be on to something. Please +1 (Google) or Reshare (Facebook), lets get this one around. Here it is:

I am not sure the Sage of Omaha's prescription for budget deficit cutting is very sound, but the Congressional Reform Act proposed sounds interesting. Check it our and pass it on if you feel like.
Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:



"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just

Pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more

Than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible

For re-election.



The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)

Took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!

The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail,

Cell phones, etc.



Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year

or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.



Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to

a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask

Each of those to do likewise.



In three days, most people in The United States of America will

Have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed

Around.



Congressional Reform Act of 2012 _



1. No Tenure / No Pension.



A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no

Pay when they're out of office.



2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social

Security.



All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the

Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into

The Social Security system, and Congress participates with the

American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.



3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all

Americans do.



4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.

Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.



5. Congress loses their current health care system and

Participates in the same health care system as the American people.



6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the

American people.



7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void

Effective 6/1/12. The American people did not make this

Contract with Congressmen/women.

Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in

Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers

Envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their

Term(s), then go home and back to work.



If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will

Only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive

The message. Don't you think it's time?



THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

By the way..... Did you know you can be sued for putting names and businesses on the Internet without asking them for permission.... oops....

Update on the back injury: Still hurts like hell, but I'm icing it and taking pain meds. Hopefully will be better soon.

Life as we know it

Hello all, Sorry I have been out of the loop for the last few days, but sometimes you just have to do real work, and since the blog doesn't make me money, sometimes I won't get to it right away or even at all.

Anyway, here's a run down of my awesome weekend.

Friday night I went fishing. Didn't have the outcome that we wished, but we did catch six fish, none of which were keepers.

Saturday, gym, then went to hang out with a few friends I haven't seen in a while. Friday night was my first night back to playing football. We won, but I am paying the price still because my back is still killing me. However, the team is in first place, maybe we can stay up there for a while!

Sunday, went to the gym and cleaned. Then I watched the race. Nothing overly exciting, but that was my weekend.

I have also come to a few conclusions about what I am going to do with my life. Your never too old for the "what am I going to be when I grow up" question. I'm not going to get into it on here yet, but just know that it is life changing for myself, but its something I have wanted to do for a very long time.

I have been sober now for 74 days, and I am loving it. I have also lost almost 31 lbs (30.8 to be exact). only 69 more to go!!!

Well that's all for now. Peace, love, and Happiness!!!!

New Phone

Well hello again world.... I finally received my new phone today! Well actually it arrived Friday, but since I cut out of work after only 8 hours, I wasn't here after it arrived.

What I got is a Droid RAZR Maxx. Its a cool phone. Bigger than my blackberry Storm, but it seems to have better color. Its going to take a while for me to figure this thing out so I guess you are going to have to bear with me for a little bit. I have figured out text messaging, and a little bit of Face book. Other then that, I'm lost!

Well thats all for now, I'll write more tomorrow.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Happy Early St. Pats Day to all, hopefully you are enjoying your corn beef and cabbage, and green beer!!! i know it isn't until tomorrow, but since I tend not to blog on the weekend, I'm coming at you early....

And here is some breaking news:

I have joined another football team. Starting this Saturday night, I will be playing Offensive line. So much for retirement. This should be a really good way to help get me in shape and keep me away from the bars.

Well that's all for now... Enjoy the weekend!!!!

DROPKICK MURPHYS LYRICS

"Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced"

I play in a band, we're the best in the land
We're big in both Chelsea and France
I play one mean guitar and then score at the bar
There's a line of chicks waiting for their chance
So come on now honey, I'll make you feel pretty
These other gals mean nothing to me
Let's finish these drinks and be gone for the night
'Cause I'm more than a handful, you'll see

[Chorus:]
So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
I'm soaked, I'm soiled and brown
in the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round

I can bench press a car, I'm an ex football star
with degrees from both Harvard and Yale
Girls just can't keep up, I'm a real love machine
I've had far better sex while in jail
I've designed the Sears Tower, I make two grand an hour
I cook the world's best duck flambe
I'll take the pick of the litter, girls jockey for me
I don't need these lines to get laid

[Chorus]

I'm a man of the night, a real ladies delight
See my figure was chiseled from stone
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
Come last call, I'm never alone
I've a house on the hill with a red water bed
That puts Hugh Heffnor's mansion to shame
With girls by the pool and Italian sports cars
I'm just here in this dump for the game

[Chorus x2]

Ahh, fuck it. Who am I shitting?

I'm a pitiful sight, and I ain't all that bright
I'm definitely not chiseled from stone
I'm a cheat and a liar, no woman's desire
I'll probably die cold and alone

But just give me a chance, 'cause deep down inside
I swear I got a big heart of gold
I'm a monogamous man, no more one night stands
Come on, honey, let me take you home

[Chorus x4]

March Madness

Well Its that time of year again. Where all college basketball get very interesting, and where everyone fills out there bracket with a chance to win money. In my case that bracket could be $1million. Well here it is, how I have everything panned out. Just remember, there is no bias this year because neither of my teams made it to the dance.....

The number one seeds:

Kentucky- The only number one seed I have going to the final four.

Syracuse- I originally had them also going to the Final Four, but since their star player is now ineligible for the tournament, I had to remove them. I now have them losing to Vanderbilt in the Sweet 16.

Michigan St.- I have them losing to Memphis in the round of 32. My big upset for the year. I have a soft spot for Memphis.

North Carolina- I have NC losing to Kansas in the Elite 8.


My Final Four is:

Kentucky, Ohio State, Marquette, Kansas

Championship Game: Kentucky vs. Kansas

National Champion:

Kentucky.....

Let the arguments start now!

Vacation....

Vacation.....

I need one....

But from the looks of it, both of my vacation weeks won't be for a while. I will be joining friends in Chincoteague, Va in August Sometime, and will be with Family in North Carolina in September.

The only problem with this is.... Its only March. Thats a whole six months before I get a break longer than an extended weekend. Oh well, at least i will get some time off, for fishing and sun.

The Blue Cat

When you see the title, I bet you think of something furry, runs around on four legs, and can be a massive pain in the ass sometimes. Well I'm not talking about that kind of cat. What I am going to talk about is the Blue Catfish. These mammoths come from down south, but have invaded the Potomac River in Southern Maryland.

Usually, I fish for Channel Catfish. Much smaller, and easily found in western Maryland. However, coming up soon, I will make the two hour trip to go after these behemoths. The state record has been broken three times this year already, and its only early March. The record now stands at 80 lbs. and they are regularly pulling out 50+ lb fish. I have got to get in on this action.

Wish me luck, If I catch any, there will be lots of pictures!!!!

A Must Read

Welcome to a fantastic fun filled week! Only 5 workdays till the weekend. I know I am rushing life by wishing away Monday through Friday, but it is what it is.

Today I am going to copy and paste something a friend (who will remain nameless) sent me.

Remember, I did NOT write this..... You have been warned! LOL....

Enjoy.....

Not all kids are special, but your kid is “SPECIAL”
Everyone has that person they work with or are friends with that frequently they find themselves thinking “this person is a complete waste of oxygen” I found mine today. To protect the name of the not so brilliant lets call him Bob. Bob has his “lofty” position only due to family influence in the company hierarchy. Been there for probably 5 years but your cant teach or tell him anything. Especially not if your “just a temp” whose only been with the company for 3 months and in the current department for 2 weeks.
His blind sightedness I blame fully on his parents. Parents as a whole fill their children’s heads with overindulged and all too often unachievable goals. “I wanna be a astronaut when I grow up” says little Johnny or Suzzy. And the parents say “Why of course, you can be anything you want to be when you grown up.” But they fail to remember saying that when their child is spelling their name in pee on the couch. Astronaut? Are you kidding me? Closest to being an astronaut that YOUR kids gonna get is putting the Buzz Lightyear toy in a freakin happy meal. “Would you like fries with that?”
So while fuming not so silently to myself after being told I was “stupid” and “had no idea what I was talking about”, I compiled a list of jobs for “Bob” that I feel he would be more suited for. And for all those waste of oxygen people in your life, I’m sure you can find one on here that fit them.
•Filler of my water bottle
•Assistant trainee to the guy who picks up the cans along my road
•Janitor at a porno theatre
•Large breed cat masturbator at the zoo
•Men’s room attendant at a gay bar
-well actually the women’s room attendant at an All Male gay bar
•Staff NCO in any military branch
(and this is coming from a former Marine)
•Cat food quality controller
•Beat cop in the background of any crime drama
-Preferably the cop who tries to stop the big shot detective from crossing the crime scene tape who then gets sent for coffee or to work as a crossing guard at a blind school
*OK never mind, that last part would be kinda fun
•Sorting the “M”s from the “W”s at the M&M factory
•A Best Buy employee(any department, it doesn’t matter)
•Republican Presidential Candidate
•Democratic Presidential Candidate
•Salesman at a Outlet store that sells bibles with type-os
•Governor of Alaska
•Midnight shift, weekends and holidays only, toll booth collector at a 24 parking lot at the Scott City, Kansas Municipal Airport. Look it up on Google maps. BFE
-well actually just the person who empties the trash cans in those tollbooths, on just that shift


So as I write this list more and more ideas come to mind, I have to stop. My sub and beer are calling my name and I think I can see a bonfire starting next door. Namaste, Semper FI, and I didn’t do it

Hot/ Cold

OK, so there's something that is bothering me about this weather. It can't seem to make up its mind whether it wants to be spring or winter. Yesterday it was 70 degrees. Tonight, when I would like to go fishing, it is supposed to be 25 degrees. Ugh.... Oh well, I'll still be out there hopefully, sitting on the dock, catching dinner for the next week or so. I can't wait until its at least in the 50-60 range at midnight! OK, enough with my bitching.....

On a better note, If anyone is looking for Real Estate in the Myrtle Beach, SC area let me know. I know a great Agent down there, who will help you find your dream home, and help you build your piece of the American dream.

CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISEJimmy Buffett
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits.
Made it nearly seventy days,
Losin' weight without speed-eatin' sunflower seeds,
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays.

But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat.
Not zucchini, fettucini, bulgar wheat,
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat.

Cheeseburger in paradise.
Heaven on earth with an onion slice.
Not too particular, not too precise.
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.


Verse 2:
Heard about the old time sailor men,
They eat the same thing again and again;
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead.
Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn.

But times have changed for sailors these days.
When I'm in port I get what I need;
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris,
But that American creation on which I feed!

Cheeseburger in paradise, medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on earth with an onion slice.
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer

For my cheeseburger in paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice.
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice
To get a cheeseburger in paradise;
To be a cheeseburger in paradise.
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer

New Adventure

Happy Wednesday Everyone!!!! Or as most of you know it, HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!

Well soon, I am starting a new adventure. No, I'm not quiting my job. I am going to advance my hobby of taking pictures. I love to travel, and I love taking pictures, so why not mix the 2? I will also try to eventually sell the pictures, but that's not a big deal, I'm not desperate for the cash, I just want to do it.

So, I'm going to need a few things. Does anyone recommend a certain Digital SLR camera? I want one that is good, but not too expensive. Also, I am going to need a new printer. Does anyone recommend a certain type? Or is there any type of computer program that is good for editing? Any help on these topics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks All!!!!!

Controversy

Well hello again everyone, sorry for being MIA yesterday. I wasn't really sure what to write about and I kept drawing a blank so I decided just to take the day off. It happens, but now I am back and I am writing once again. Well This is what happened this weekend, then I will get into something that may be a little controversial.

Friday night I played poker, went OK, I finished 8th out of 60+ people. I should have won, but I made some stupid decisions. Oh well, there's always next time.

Saturday, Gym first thing in the morning, then went home and sanded and stained the old gun cabinet I received. It looks pretty good so far, I just have to finish doing the doors.

Sunday, Gym then painted the future sports room... The room doesn't have a name yet, but it is being painted white and hunter green (NY Jets colors). Should look really good when its done. I plan on hanging up all of my autographs when I'm finished, along with military memorabilia, and anything else that means something to me. I also plan on putting my desk in there along with a new photo printer, I'm going to start taking a lot more pictures and maybe I can make a few dollars off of them. If not, it will still be fun to do.


Now with all of that being said, I get into something else that happened last Friday. On my Facebook page I wrote the following:

What the hell is wrong with people? I'm not mad, I'm just confused. Why do people let other peoples writings on social media dictate their happiness level? If someone pisses u off by expressing how they feel, don't listen. You don't have to agree with them but they are entitled to their opinion. On another note, why the hell do people feel they need to infringe on the rights of others. I'm not gay... (as most of you already know), but my problem is this: Maryland just passed a law legalizing gay marriage, but people are trying to stop this law. Are gays different people? Do they not deserve the same rights as the rest of us? Just because you don't agree with their lifestyle, doesn't mean u have to stop them from being happy.

OK, my rant is done for now. I will now take questions and comments...


So now I ask the same question to all of my readers, how do you feel about the situations? there is no write or wrong answer, an opinion is an opinion.....

Another Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

The time has come, to work one last day and relax for two what seem like non-existent days. Weekends come and go so fast, but they are always well worth the wait. This weekend for me will be a working weekend. Painting a couple rooms, sanding and staining some furniture fills my weekend. Oh well, Its the joys of home ownership. Do you have anything fun planned this weekend?

Happy Thursday

Happy Thursday Everyone!!!!!! Its almost Friday, and time for a night of fishing!!!!!

I don't have much to say today, so here's a song.

Glory Days
By Bruce Springsteen

I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was

Chorus:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about

Chorus

My old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen Ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
but I can tell what's on his mind

Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days

Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days
