Death of Yet Another Legend
Good Morning all. Happy Monday and all that stuff. As you all may know, I go around and meet famous people all the time. Usually, collecting autographs, but sometimes you meet a guy you just wanna talk too. Well I was in Las Vegas a few years ago and I was walking around Binions. It was my first night there and I was waiting to pick a friend up from the airport. I saw a tall skinny guy in a cowboy hat standing on the rail in the poker room. It was Amarillo Slim, World famous poker player. So I walked up to him, introduced myself, and started talking to him. He turns to me, smiles, and says "Don't you know its rude to talk while you are sitting on the rail in a poker room?" I answer, "No Sir, Sorry for bothering you" He replied, "Lets go over to the bar, It nicer over there anyway." We talked for a good hour before he had to go. We talked about everything from Life, Death, Marriage, Poker, ETC. It was like talking to my Grandfather, you just hang onto every word he says, because you know he's been there and done that.
Well last night at the age of 83, "Slim" passed away. You are a great man Slim, Rest In Piece. Keep playing poker in Heaven, someday we will meet again, and have another long talk and a beer.

I'm Back
Well Good Morning World!
Sorry I was absent yesterday, Hope you didn't miss me too much. Work has been kicking my ass, but the Overtime is always good.
This weekend is going to be a little calm, Tonight I'm gonna relax since I had to be up at 0230 to finish my project for work. Saturday, I think I am going to get Andre Reed's autograph, up in Harrisburg Mall. Sunday, probably just lay around and do some house chores, maybe some yard work. Next few weeks are going to be busy.
Well that's all for now, Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! stop on by if you aren't busy!!!

Clear mind
Good Tuesday everyone. Don't worry, the week is moving along, and before you know it we'll have another weekend. You have to get through Tuesday to get through the rest of the week. Remember, after Tuesday, even the calender says "WTF".
The last few days my mind has been unbelievably clear. I do my thing, and don't let anything really bother me. I'm not saying that I don't have stress, but its not getting to me as much as when I was younger. I guess you really do learn a lot as you get older.
Tuesday's Gone
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far, far away.
Now I feel the wind blow, outside my door,
I'm leavin' my woman at home, oh yeah.
Tuesday's gone with the wind,
My baby's gone, gone with the wind.
And I don't know, oh, where I'm goin'.
I just want to be left alone.
When this train ends, I'll try again.
I'm leavin' my woman at home.
My baby's gone
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone, with the wind.
Train roll on
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone, with the wind.
Train roll on
Train roll on many miles from my home,see I'm,
I'm ridin' my blues, babe, blues away, yeah.
But Tuesday you see, a she had to be free.
Somehow I got to, to carry on.
My baby's gone.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone, with the wind.
Train roll on...train roll on...
Roll on train...roll on train...roll on train
Train roll on...the train, it rolls on
Train rolls on I can't change, I can't change,
I can't change, I can't change,I can't change...
Ride on train
I can't change
Train roll on
Lord, I can't change
I can't change

What a Weekend!
Well happy Monday everyone! Its that day of the week again where you start to countdown till another weekend! Hope everyone enjoyed the last couple of days, here's my rundown of what went on.
Friday- work then fishing. I felt like a kid again at some points this fishing trip. Caught 3 fish, including my monster of a catfish. It was so big i had to throw it back. It measured in at a whooping 4 inches. It was barely bigger then my hand. Worst part was it was the biggest fish caught for most of the night. the other 2 fish weren't edible, so they also got thrown back.
Saturday- Gym first thing in the morning. Then it was off to Bel Air, Md to get Laquan Williams of the Baltimore Ravens autograph. I went with my buddy and his daughter. Once Laquan finally showed up we were in and out (He got lost getting there). We ended up 4th in line, its always nice not to have to wait hours. Went to the Moose Lodge for lunch and I hit the jar there. Paid for all my shenanigans this weekend. Then to my Buddies house for some Xbox before football (No, I didn't play this week since my knee is still bothering me). Home to recuperate after that.
Sunday- Weigh in day, so it was off to the gym at 7am. I weighed in at 251lbs. so that's a total of 55lbs lost, 49 since I started Weight Watchers. 51lbs left to go! Then it was off to pick my buddy up again with his daughter. Today we were going to Gettysburg Harley Davidson to get Erik Estrada's and Kristen Renton's autograph. For those that don't know Erik is from the TV show CHiPS, and Kristen is from Sons of Anarchy. Much shorter drive that day. got there and we were first in line. I'll tell you what, out of all of the celebrities i have ever met, Erik Estrada is the nicest and most down to earth. He came out and talked to people in line before the signing started, then he would only let a few people behind the black screen at a time so that he could talk to every one of them. Pretty bad ass if you ask me! After me falling in love (Google Kristen Renton and you will too), we went back to the Moose Lodge for lunch. Ate, played the tip jar yet again (I'm a sucker for gambling), then it was back home again. Cleaned, then my phone rang..... I hit the tip jar yet again! this time it was for more money then the last. Chicoteague trip is now paid for, just one more trip to pay for and I am set!!!
Well thanks for taking a glance into my fun, busy weekend! Hope yours was good too!!!

Friday 4/20/2012
Well, About a dozen or so years ago, the date of 4/20 meant a whole lot more to me. Nowadays it means my ass is going fishing. This is going to be a very busy weekend, but at the same time its going to be a lot of fun.
Friday- Work, then fishing down at the dam. I think we are trying to catch some walleye tonight. Hopefully, we catch plenty and have dinner for the next few nights! lol
Saturday- Going down to Bel Air MD for an autograph signing after I get out of the gym. Time to start getting my workout routine back in full swing. After that going to the FISC to cheer on my football team in the playoffs. Hopefully they win, if not it will be an early night.
Sunday- Gym, then up to Gettysburg Harley for another autograph signing. I get to meet Erik Estrada from CHiPS, and Kristen Renton from SOA. Gonna be a good time, and hopefully I will have lots of pictures to share because I am breaking out the new camera!
Well everyone that's the plans. Thank you all for taking an interest in my life! Keep Reading!!!!

Social Media
What has the world come too? I look back to maybe ten years ago, and think "I didn't even know how to text in 2002". I had an old Nokia cell phone, which I thought was the coolest thing ever!
Now-a-days we have Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Etc. I have an account on each one of the previous. People can also find me at:
Twitter: Samhassell70
Google +: Samuel Hassell
My Facebook, I am sort of keeping private because I need some type of sanity in this world, but if you find me there, I'll probably accept any friend requests, but make sure you actually talk to me or you will be deleted in my monthly rounds of people clean out!
Anyway, the purpose of this post.
What would people do without Social Media? Right now it is so easy to get on all of these just by a touch of a button on a cell phone. Last time I went to Basic Training, I got letters, and had to use a pay phone. Will anyone remember I can't see FB for 6 months? Will anyone remember how to write? The mystery will be solved in yet a few months. Until then, I have to go check my Twitter account!

Stupid People
People are a funny creature. We can be smart, fun, boring, stupid, and a million other things. Why aren't people born with common sense? Can it be that some people want to be stupid? Do they live their lives running away from any hint of rationale?
VISUAL-Car is coming, get out of the street (Stupid person starts running towards the car as it speeds towards them).
There should be a hunting season for stupid people. Tag limit-2. I'm not just talking blondes either (I'm just kidding blondes), there are many different levels of stupid. The lower the persons IQ, the more points they are worth. At the end of the season you get a prize, complete idiot, win a car! Think about how much peoples stress level would go down! PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES DO NOT COUNT!!!!
OK, Rant is done, make smart decisions people. Use you head.
BTW- Keep a look out for stalkers, they count as stupid people, because they will never learn, no matter how much you hate them..... (More about this at a later date and time).

Tax Day
Well Everyone it's here! the day where it is mandatory to pay your dues to the great country of the US of A. Its Tax Day!!! My question is who's going to be late filing this year? I paid mine back in January just so that I can get it out of the way.
One thing I don't agree with is: If you are a Veteran and have served your country honorably, you shouldn't have to pay taxes. Haven't we paid a debt to our country already? We deserve that break. Besides, I bet recruitment numbers would go up. Its the least that we can do for our service members!!!!
Not a Sermon, Just a Thought!!!

Back at it again
Well Happy Monday Everyone!!!!
I hope everyone survived their Friday the thirteenth last week.
Seems like this weekend I got a lot done without really getting anything done.
Friday- I donated my big screen TV to the Moose lodge, got that loaded up and delivered. Got my hair cut, and played some poker.
Saturday- Went back to the gym for the first time in a week. Then I went to the Moose Lodge, hooked the TV up, and watched the Bruins lose to the Caps. All you can eat shrimp was really good. Then I went home and relaxed my knee.
Sunday- Went to the gym and did a very light workout, because it was a leg day. Still not running, but that will start back up this week since I am finally out of the knee immobilizer. Then I decided to take a drive. Since I am getting back into autograph collecting, I went and scouted out where the festival is that Laquan Williams is signing at. Its about one hundred miles away in Bel Air, MD, but at least its a nice drive. Should be a good time. While we were in Bel Air, i found an all you can eat Sushi buffet. Yup, I cheated on my diet big time, but I gave it too myself as a 100 days of sobriety present. Feels great to be getting in shape, and to know my goals are slowly getting closer.
Well that's all for now, Hope everyone had an awesome weekend.

Friday the 13th
Well its that time of the year again. Watch out for black cats, or anything with hands that have knives, or anyone wearing a hockey mask and carrying a machete. Its Friday the 13th!!!! Are we scared yet?
I don't understand the problem with this day. I mean shit, I'm more afraid of Monday the 16th. It is Friday isn't it? You have a whole weekend to ponder what has happened to you on this so called awful day. I'm just glad its Friday, and I will be off work for the next couple of days. Maybe I'll even go fishing at a dirty campsite that some kid drowned in the river a long time ago..... Lets see if I live to tell about it. (Insert Scary Music Here).

Heres to Us
Well good morning world!!!!
Another day, another 50 cents. I still feel like a gimp, and I can't believe I am going to say this, but I really miss going to the gym. Thank God, I only have to wear this knee immobilizer for a week. Then I am all out again. Running will take a little time to get back to, but everything else, Game On!!!!
so I looked at it this morning and I am 100 views from hitting 4,000. Isn't that something? I would never have thought that people would be interested in anything I have to say, but to everyone reading, in all different countries, THANK YOU! I really enjoy writing these (most of the time). If anyone feels like asking me anything, do it. I'm a very open person, and enjoy the comments. All Feedback is welcome!
Anyway, Everyone have a great Thursday! Let your friends know about the Blog!!! It only takes a minute!!!

A Waste of a Post
Morning Everyone! Happy Hump Day! Today will be a short post because of the fact that I was in Baltimore last night really late, and I just am too tired to post much. Today is day number 96 of no drinking! YAY ME! My knee is putting a damper on my workout plans. Couple more days and i don't need to wear this damn knee immobilizer anymore. I can't wait. I miss the gym. I got to meet Boog Powell last night. That guy has hands of a giant!
Ok, Everyone have an awesome day, and don't forget, if your not humping on hump day, call me and we can talk about it! LMAO.

TOO MUCH
Well there comes a time in your life when your body just tells you to stop. The knee pain I have been having finally got the best of me. So I went to the Dr's yesterday. MCL Sprain. It means that my body will get the week off from working out that it has asked for. Then when I get back to working out, it will be light workouts for a couple of weeks, before we continue running at full speed. I hate setbacks, but they occur on occasion. Oh well, got to push through this like everything else.
On the brighter side of things, I will be at the Orioles game tonight. They play the NY Yankees. Should be a good game. I hope. LETS GO O's!!!! By The Way, to all the haters, the NY METS are 4-0!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Well this weekend went very quickly. Happy Easter to everyone that celebrates it, and Happy Easter anyway to those that don't.
This weekend was rather boring, yet i still got a lot done.
Friday- Went Fishing, Caught nothing. It was a rather pathetic attempt at fishing, only one fish was caught between the 3 of us. Oh well, we got to meet some new people, so the night wasn't a complete waste.
Saturday- got up early to go to the gym. Then it was yard work time. Thanks to the guys who came out and helped. It would have taken me forever to get it all done myself. Plus, we got all the wood under the tree burned. When all was done for the day, I sat down and watched the Mets game, and iced my knee. Didn't play football Saturday night, but the team lost again.
Sunday- Gym, then Yard work. Got the mulch spread and the rose bush planted. Then I did laundry, and relaxed. Also watched the Mets play again. Woo Hoo, Mets are 3-0, swept the Braves, What more can i ask for?
Well that's all, pretty calm weekend. Thanks for taking a look into my life. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

Centerfield lyrics
Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
CHORUS:
Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.
CHORUS:
Oh, put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Put me in, Coach - I'm ready to play today;
Look at me, I can be Centerfield.
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench;
You know I took some lumps when the Mighty Casey struck out.
So Say Hey Willie, tell Ty Cobb and Joe DiMaggio;
Don't say "it ain't so", you know the time is now.
CHORUS
Yeah! I got it, I got it!
Got a beat-up glove, a homemade bat, and brand-new pair of shoes;
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride.
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all - a moment in the sun;
(pop) It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye!

How I lost almost 40 LBS in 2 Months
People keep asking me how I keep losing so much weight. Here it is..... This is how I lost 40 lbs in 2 months. I wrote this letter to someone, so I am just copying and pasting it. Maybe it will help you as it did me. Remember that unless you truly want to lose weight, you aren't going to. hard work is the only way that you lose weight, there is no miracle drug.
Go to the Gym or do your walk BEFORE DINNER!!!!! You’ll feel much better and actually burn off more calories. You don’t have to kill yourself to get healthy, just remember, sweat is good.
Here is my workout plan:
Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday:
Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
Well there it, not saying that it will work for everyone, but it has worked for me so far.
I know you said you are trying to lose weight, here is what I am doing, maybe it will help you. The Key to this entire diet is eating right, and portion size. Snack often and you will never get hungry. First thing in the morning I take my pills (one a day vitamin, and fish oil). Get fish oil, it helps and its cheap, but do yourself a favor and don’t take the pill before a fish meal. Drink at least 8oz of water before every meal or snack. It will help fill you up, and clean you out. NO ALCOHOL. I’ve haven’t had a drink in 90 days, saves a lot of money. Anyway, here it is….
6:30am- Fruit
8:00am- Breakfast (I eat a special K Meal bar every morning for breakfast)
10:00am- Snack (Fruit or Special K snack bar)
12:00pm- Lunch (weight Watchers Meal)
2:00pm- Snack (Whatever I didn’t eat for first snack, either fruit or Special K Bar)
~6:00pm- Dinner (Usually either fish or chicken, and veggies)
8:00pm- Snack (only if you are still hungry)
Here is my workout plan:
Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday:
| Push-Ups |
| Incline Bench |
| Chest Fly's |
| Shoulder press |
| Shoulder Fly's |
| Rows |
| Curls |
| Triceps |
| Lats |
| Neck |
| Push-Ups |
| Run (Choose One) | |
| Elliptical (Interval) | |
| Stadium Run | |
| Treadmill | |
Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday
| Sit-ups |
| Leg Extensions |
| Leg Curls |
| Ab Twist |
| Lower Back |
| abs (machine) |
| Toe Raises |
| Sit Ups |
| Bike (20 min) |
Well there it, not saying that it will work for everyone, but it has worked for me so far.

Baseball Preview 2012
Well people that know me, know that I am a die-hard NY Mets fan. I really have to put that behind me to pick baseball this year, because I see no way they are going to be a contender (please prove me wrong!!!). Anyway, here is my prediction of the outcome of the season. Ready? Here we go....
Lets start with the National League:
East- Central- West-
1) Philadelphia - St. Louis - LA Dodgers
2) Miami - Chicago - San Francisco
3) Atlanta - Cincinnati - San Diego
4) NY Mets - Milwaukee - Colorado
5) Washington - Pittsburgh - Arizona
6) - Houston
Wild Card Teams: Miami and San Francisco
NLCS- Miami vs. Philadelphia
OK, Now here's the American League (Sorry, O's fans):
East- Central- West-
1) Boston - Minnesota - LA Angels
2) NY Yankees - Detroit - Texas
3) Tampa Bay - Chicago - Oakland
4) Toronto - Kansas City - Seattle
5) Baltimore - Cleveland
Wild Card Teams: Texas vs. NY Yankees
ALCS: Boston vs. LA Angels
World Series: LA Angels vs. Philadelphia
World Series Champions: LA Angels
Well there it is.... It extremely pains me to even say that the Phillies are making the world series, but I have to be honest that if they can overcome their injury problems they have the pitching to do it.
Well there it is..... Its gonna be a loooooooonnnngggggg season!
LETS GO METS!!!!!!

March Madness in April, and other stuff
Well look at that.....
Kentucky won the NCAA Championship.....
Back too my predictions at the beginning of the tournament. Ready, Set, GO:
My Final Four is:
Kentucky, Ohio State, Marquette, Kansas
Championship Game: Kentucky vs. Kansas
National Champion:
Kentucky.....
3 out of 4 Final four teams, both championship teams, and the winner picked. That's not too bad if I do say so myself, and its the best i have ever done picking my winners....
On other news, you may have seen my new picture floating around on the Internet. it was done by +Max Love..... you can find her on google plus. She has done some great artwork. Here's one of her pieces:
My head is clear, because there are no regrets, only lessons learned.
Also, I was playing around on photoshop yesterday, and i created this picture. It was originally taken in Key West a few years ago.
Well that's all I have for now, Hope everyone has an awesome day! As always, all comments and shares are greatly appreciated! Thanks for Reading!!!

Enter Sandman
Well its another Monday, and I apologize in advance for this rather unmotivated post.
Last night, I didn't sleep. Sometimes I have nights like that, but usually I can get a couple hours. No such luck. On the bright side however, I should sleep like a baby tonight. Gotta think positive, right?
Anyway, here was my weekend in a short run down. Nothing exciting, but it is what it is.
Friday- Went to the Moose lodge for spring clean-up. Never happened. Someone decided not to show up. i sat there for three freaking hours. This is time I could have spent doing much more important things like: fishing, sleeping, watching TV, Working Out, cleaning, etc. After this fiasco, the guys and myself went fishing. Now this is where shit got a little weird. Went Down to the boat ramp on Edwards Ferry Rd. Myself and a few other guys were down Cat fishing. After about two hours or so, we heard screaming from the woods. This was seriously like the start of every bad, direct to DVD horror movie out there. The screams were saying "help me". So one buddy called 911. I jumped in my car to search for the voice (like hell if I was gonna get out of the car, but the headlights are powerful, and maybe i could see something). I saw nothing. Cops then came, and basically told us we were full of shit and asked us if we were scared. Now, just a heads up, the guys that I was fishing with, and Myself could put an NFL Offensive Line to shame, I really don't thing we were afraid of the dark. I think the cop was just angry we took him away from his doughnuts, and he had to get out of the car. Then the cop heard the screaming too. It was coming from the farmhouse by the river. It ended up, a drunk rich couple had more money then then knew what to do with and the husband was beating the Shit out of his wife.... That was enough for me. It was time to go home.
Saturday- Went to the gym, Cleaned, then went to a friends house until my football game started. We lost the football game, but I had a great time at the Moose lodge watching the NCAA tournament and hanging out after the game. I'm really getting used to this not drinking thing.
Sunday- Gym, Yard work, Laid on the couch and watched the race. Every-so-often, you just have to recuperate.
Well that's all, pretty boring weekend except for that one incident Friday night.
Hope everyone has a great week!
