January 21st, 2022 is upon us now. Time ticks on no m atter what and in the end the only battle really is between Father Time and mother Nature folks and they never give up, do they? It is an endless battle, or just maybe they be working together, no way of knowing for sure is there?

The Planet Earth, actually provides us with all we need to live upon it, but at the rate the human population grows, we are over using the resources of the planet. depleting what is needed for all of us to live. We are wasteful with energy and votal elements need to sustain us and we over mine the earth and it can not replenish itself fast enough. Is therea point when mankind will rralize it and stop, and do with less, so the planet can recover, that is something that will only happen, when the resources go low enough to cause a panic, for all mankind, it may be coming.

Next, lets talk some politics for today. I have watched news shows and commentaries that constantlt attack the current President and his Administration for everything that is wrong in America. The fact is folks, Biden has only been in office for a little overa year, you can’t change four years of total destruction and ways in one year, wake up. Takes time to unravel and pull apart the Trump mess. Then once you do you have to rebuild in such a way as it helps all America not just the rich.

Trump as is now apparent, in the news, and thew results coming out slowly in the ongoing investigation, January 6th, Committee, is in deep trouble as is his family and cohorts who attempted to overthrow the 2020 election, and rig the electorial voting process and certification. The Documents from Trump’s Administyration are now going to the Comittees hands to review and look at. Then you have Trump’s business practices which are wrong too, his children participating in all Trump did at his behest and of course Trump’s cronies and his so called lawyer at the time Gulianni. So what we end up with is a pretty devastating picture of what Donald J. Trump has been doing in his life, that is illegal, morally and ethically wrong and criminal in part cases.

As we go forward in time, The State of New York is moving forward in it’s cases against Trump and his organization also, and yes it is tightening a noose ,around Donald J. Trump. What Trump does is he tries to prolong all these cases, hoping it will cost his opponents more than they can afford, his problem is these are governement offices and they have the money to keep compiling and charging and will. Now, here is one thing for all to consider, Trump’s age is in play here as well as his health, which can happen first his being charged, convicted and in prisoned or jailed or fined or his health fails and he gets ill or dies? We won’t know untill it happens that is for sure, but it is interesting to watch and see.

Well, Friday has arrived folks and the weekend will begin soon enough for all of us. This weekend brings the Divisional Playoffs in the NFL and many televisions will be on. The games will be good games and the new playoff schedule and layout makes it so. Many predict the games and I know I have too in my own way, but, like all sports and games of chance there can be and most likely will be one or maybe two upsets. It will be interesting to see for sure.

Whats next, no one knows for sure in this world we live in, yet we tendto try to control all around us and all we do ourselves. The fact is fate, destiny and interaction with others determine all and we must adapt to all that goes on. Life is a chance and we live on this planet by chance also. Never forget, somethings are not in our control, there is only so much a humanbeing can do. LIfe shall go on no matter who dies, what happens, it wil continue, till suddenly it doesn’t, and wec an’t control that one.

Ok after a scare and overnight in the Hospital I am home and well.

Playoff Divisional Round NFL 2022

Bengals Vs. Titans- 4:30 Pm, EST Saturday

1) While The Bengals have won their first Playoff game in 31 years here, are they really a match for a Titan’s team here. I don’t think so. The Titans are a run orienented offense that passes as necessary and they do it very well. Do the Bengals have a run defense to stop them I don’t think so. Plus Titans have the Home Field Advantage here. Take The Titans folks by 14.

2) 49ers Vs, Packers in Green Bay- The Packers are hot and they have a defense that works well and they have Rogers in their favor with a running game and recievers. 49ers would have to be perfect to win here, and i doubt they can. 49ers are a decent team yes, just not the level of the Packers in my opinion. Packers by at least 10

3) Rams Vs, Buccaneers in Tampa Bay.- Favorite easily Buccaneers due to returning champions and homefield and of course Tom Brady. Do the Rams have a chance here, yes but their defese must sack Brady a minimum of three times in this game and hold Stafford from being touched on Offense. The Rams must run or lose this game to the Bucs. big time, play take way from Brady. Can they do it, I have my doubts, Buccaneers better team overall, and want to repeat. Take the Tampa Bay Bucs by 10 here.

4) BIlls VBs, Chiefs- This could be the closest game of all four here, Bills have a defense and if they can get to Mahomes they have a clear chance. Chiefs are a great team but, if Mahomes can be sacked and intercepted Bills do have a shot. I will say it may be the Chief’s defense here for a vistory in my book. Take Kanas City here by 10 or 14 points.,

I love the NFL as many now know and I enjoy close games, will this weekend bring a few, i think so So Far my picks have won overall and moved on, but in the Divisional Round upsets do happen and may here. So be ready folks for anything, coaches get creative at this point trying to get to a Superbowl. But it is usually the teams that stick to what they do best, that win. Lets Play Football, go NFL.

Hello January 18th 2022, I awoke early again today around 4 am, why I don’t know except I was cold. So by 5 am I was up making coffee and starting my day. I know I will go nap a bit later, no real choice, my body will make me. It’s hard when your going on 66, and have maladies like I do to sleep these days. I have sleep apenea, I have six herniated discs, on off depression since my wife passed. Yet here i am still alive, and it is hard to believe.

Anyway, it took me nearly a month now to overcome pneumonia, I got around Christmas of 2021. MY body was wracked with coughing and more, until I finally got to a Va Hospital to be seen, and got meds for it all. Luckily, they helped but took time to beat it in me. I am still not 100 percent, but I would say 95%, is better than what I was.

As time goes on since my wife’s passing, I realize how much I miss her each day. It wasn’t the cleaning she did, I did that, it wasn’t the washing of my clothes or anything else. It was our companionship, our talking, our conversations. Our interaction were all discussions over our final years together. In the end, what we had was comfortable, conversational, helpful and honest with one another, and I thank God for every day I had with my wife. For we may not have seen eye to eye on everything we said or did, but we always worked it out, compromised and had each other through thick and thin for 28 years.

Anyway, onward and upwards now. My wife used to tell me and everyone she could, I was a realist, and she was right of course. I am a realist folks, I learn to accept what is here and I learn to live and adopt to current circumstances because in life you have no real choice. Reality is a kicker folks, it bites you in the ass no matter what and makes you make choices to survive. That my friends is the honest truth for all mankind and this planet we live on.

As a human being and a man, what do I seek in the rest of my life is always a question I must face now. I have to go on till I die, I have to find a place for me to live yet be comfortable and have things to do once more. I can’t sit and do absolutely nothing, I have put so much on hold since my wife’s passing and I am pushing now to move on. The house must go and I am adapting to what must be to make it so. I check to see e-mail regarding it and what people say when seeing it up for sale daily. I have no use for a big four bedroom house with an apartment and a two car garage now. I never really did, I bought it only because my wife wanted it and she wanted to rent rooms to everyone to pay it off, well we did that for twenty year, I believe. No reason now to do so anymore, I am alone.

I search for a new home in a new state and hope i can sell the old one soon. I tire of paying the bills for it each month, when it should be gone. But, alas, it was our home, it is paid off and I want something out of it, so I can get a new place soon.

Well, enough of that story for I am sure all now know it who read this blog. I have been reading about writing, a book from Stephen King he put out. He has an interesting view on writing and some great advice in it if you want to write at all yourself. One thing I will say about writing the story of you, have to be depressed or lonely or an alcoholic or drug addict to do so is wrong. In my book, writing is bleeding your soul on to a page single spaced at a time and living vocariously off the characters and stories you tell. The same can be said of poetry, the best poems ever written come from emotions locked deep inside people, for they reveal what makes them really work.

Writers are a different breed in their own right, for we tend to hold in more than we let out most of the time, and when we let it out people go wow thats great, or nicely done, or that sucks, and we never really know for sure how others will accept what we wrote, some love it, some hate it and some are just totally indifferent regarding it all. It is amazing really in and of it’s own process writing, for you must not only express what you want in written word, but you must make it comprehensable to others at all times. To convey emotions, actions, thoughts and link them in a full story, is not easy and many are so much better than I at it. Yet, I do understand the process and admire it, and attempt it myself. Not, that I am great at it, just that I do attempt it is all and I use it for my own purposes of course like any writer or person would.

Is writing a craft or is it an art work? Is it a dailience, or it a job, and how many people can really do it, well the numbers can be daunting, if your doing it to be heard. But, you can do it, if you understand the english language, grammer and formats needed. The hardest part is not overusing the same phrase, words, all the time. So I think you have to avoid some thing like overuse of the same words, overuse of adverbs, or nouns you don’t really need. But hey I am not a pro writer, if you want to see some great writing read Poe’s poems, or Jack London, or Stephen King or John Grisham, or the lady who did all the Harry Potter stories. Doris Kearns Goodwin who did Lincoln is probally one of the best to ever hit the world. Her words convey in a grand fashion and in detail too. I love her work.

As to my writing, I have dropped trying to make up stories these days, or to put them into book form, because basicaly I have trouble on concentration, and follow through. I though of trying to write scripts, and decided it wasn’t my thing for dialougue is not what I do best.

So, I ended up, just doing what I do, some poems here and there, just as things hit me. No I don’t do sing a long types, they don’t sing along in verse and sound pretty or sweet but they do convey whats inside of me at times.

Here is an example:

Seeking Truth

William M.McCurrach- January 17th, 2022

The truth in life can be a scare,

Truth in life is everywhere.

Wishes and dreams can never compare to the truth,

That is really out there.

We search for honesty, we search for caring,

We search for someone who is capable of sharing.

Looking for a person who can compromise, who will not,

Feed us with lies.

Finding is not easy, it’s a search we all do,

But is there really compassion, compromise, and sharing in you?

Is there a way to find what you seek for a companion, a love out there,

Without getting hurt, scared or being in fear?

We all grow older, we all grow smarter it does seem,

But some of us grow callous and mean.

We grow a scab over past pains and hurts,

And we don’t realize we wear them like a shirt.

We hide what we feel most, some of us you see,

Will never say what we feel,

Are you like me?

Do you fear being heard, because you are too tired,

And do not want embarrassment, humiliation or pain?

If that is true for you, do not feel bad.

Do not feel sad and know you are not alone,

For Truth wins out my friends, in the end,

And is like a hard bone.

Truth is everywhere if you search for it,

Never forget, you don’t have to settle for lies,

For that is bullshit!

We hide feelings and thoughts deep inside,

We do it out of fear or out shame,

In the end, we are the only one to blame.

Seek the truth and you shall find happiness and joy in your heart and mind.

A seond example is another I wrote;

Stunning Woman

By: William McCurrach

The room was dusky and not bright,The Music was loud and not always right,

The company was fun and to get it done,Yes I continued to hang on.I stood alone on my own and watched the people go by,

So many faces in such small spaces.And you could see their feelings on their faces

.The music came on and the people began to sing,In you walked and the oh and ahs and sighs, began

.Yes indeed a stunning woman you be.

A stunning woman who knows not what she is,

A woman who is au naturale,

Yes your a stunning woman and do not know

Yes Stunning to me is what you be,You take my brerath away,

I know you would never see me, I know you are, on a higher level than I,

Yet no matter where I be, When you walk in you are stunning to me.

A stunning woman of beauty and smiles,

A stunning woman who is herself,

Thats special, you stunning woman believe me

Your just stunning and special to see

I know someday a man will come,

He may be handsome, He may be strong,He will scoop you up and take you away.

I hope he makes you happy and gay, and he makes you content each night and day

.A woman with a smile and style and so stunning

Yes the men will come running!

Just be you and you shall be fine,

Don’t pay attention to those who don’t treat you right,

Be the stunning woman you are, and you shall win the fight,

You will find your happiness one night

Oh Stunning Womannnnnnnnnnn!

Each time I write a poem does not mean I am chasing a woman, trying to impress anyone or trying to get famous, it just means I felt something inside me and I let it out in the best way I know how. So, When writing anything please remember one thing be true to the thought, emotions you are feeling, you can edit later let it out first, and then do corrections or rewrites or changes, Just my advice is all. Each piece you write, whether an article, a blog, a poem, a story or even a letter to someone, is important to you as aperson to say and second important for others to hera and read if it applies to them. Nothing is unimportant to say or express. Remember one thing, we are not remembered once we are gone, for the money we have, the material possessions we have, but for how we interact with others, treat all with respect, try to be kind and if you don’t like someone, do what I do walk away and let them be. It respectful number one and numbers two it avoids fights and confrontations.

Monday has arrived folks, January 17th, 2022. The Wildcard Playoffs will conclude tonight with The Arizona Cardinals vs the LA. Rams in California. The Playoffs so far have gone the way I predicted basically and in the end this game will be a decisive factor in the actual outcome as to who will play whom in the Divisional Rounds. It will be an interesting game if both teams play up to their potentional here.

The Cardinals are a young and upcoming teanm and their young Quarterback will be a decisive player in this match-up as well as the defense they have.

The Rams are a solid team, with a great defense but also they have a Quarterback with a very big problem inhis own way. Now Stafford came over to the Rams from Detroit where he couldn’t win no matter what, he just did not have the supporting cast needed. Stafford though is really a pocket passer, if you chase him, rush him and pressure him constantly he will make error or interceptions. I expect he may throw two in this game. If so this will be a close contest.

The Cardinals Quaterback is young, inexperienced in the playoffs, but he is mobile and able to move, run and throw on the run. Advantage Cardinal there. Defensively how good the Cardinals stop the Rams run game can determine this game straight up. Cardinals defense stops Rams run game it will force Stafford to throw and move in the pocket causing big problems.

In the end, I have been asked who I favor in the game and which team, I prefer to play The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the following round. But in the end it turns out The 49ers will play Tampa Bay.

How do I see the Playoffs going from the end of this Wildcard Round forward, well, all depends on tonight Cardinals/ Rams game of course. Yet in the end we are ending up with some very good match-ups in the Divisional Rounds.

Lets start on The AFC Side of this whole Playoffs-

1. Bengals Vs Titans- Titans have the stronger defense and running game. Bengals are young and really new to it all for the first time in 31 years. Now Burrows is a good Quarterback and Chase a great Reciever on Offense and yes they have recievers who can play. But your not gonna beat the titans by throwing here, you will need to run. The Titans havea running game that is akiller when it gets going. Their Quarterback is better seasoned and is accurate too, he doesn’t throw many interceptions. I favor the Titans here by at least 14
2. BIlls Vs Chiefs- Bills have proven theyc an score big time and that they have a defense that is decent by beating up on the patriots. Them the chiefs came out and proved tey can do the same and slammed the Steelers out of it all. So who wins here, I say in the end, the Chiefs by 10, but in every round in the playoffs there will be uosets be ready folks.
3. The NFC side of this is going to get really intersting here. First – Tampa Bay must now play a 49ers team who beat the Cowboys in a close game in Dallas, San Fran is of course hungry and showed they can play well on both sides of the ball. Yet I tend to favor Tampa Bay here, Brady, the D-line of The Bucs wil take this oneI believe by 7.
4. The winner of the Cardinals vs the Rams wil have to head to Green Bay the coldest place to play in the league in my opinion, Rogers for Green Bay is playing hot and the Packers are now on a roll. Does it matter which team the Packers play here, I think not, for neither likes cold weather. The better match-up here would probally be Cardinals vs Packers, for the Pack. But, I expect in the end, unless Stafford is rushed and makes big mistakes the Rams will go to Green Bay. It will be interesting, the Cardinals are good but no one knows exactly how good as of yet. The Rams are a proven commodity here. Take the Rams.

Ok I have a love of the NFL and no one is 100 percent on their picks, upsets always happens and shall always happen as Coaches scheme and scheme away and come up with game plans that work. So be prepared here for some upsets maybe one or two next week.

Onward I shall go as long as I can in life for sure, I know my health is worsening as i go along and I have signs of it showing daily. I made mistakes health wise and let myself slip since my wife’s passing. So each day is now an adventure and I must take it easy, and be careful. My diabeties and high blood pressure problems can get me for sure. I know that now and I know it big time as my head buzzes and pressure can build in my chest. I have no choice now a days but to nap when needed, otherwise I am in trouble. So careful is all I can be. Time shall tell of course, but at least I know if I do pass, where I shall be laid to rest, next to my wife the love of my life, in the end.

I plan on enjoying what I can in life as i go along and being as careful as I can but I am not ignorant or stupid as I get closer to 66 years old . I can’t last forever and I know it at some point, I will end up in the hosiptal, a VA Hospital and I know they will either save me and make me right once more, or I too shall pass like all before me. I am at peace with it really, there is only so much one can do in life, to survive, once your body starts to go and starts to fail you. So Wish me luck.

I have a interest in certain events that took place in the 1960’s. Now why is simple, when you a child as i was, being the fact I was born in 1956, when November 22nd, 1963 occurred, I was in Elementary School, and our teacher had brought a small tv in to watch John F. Kennedy in Texas. The idea was to educate us in politics and history in the making. It did for me, but not in the way, our teacher thought for sure.

I am not really a political animal, I am middle of the road actually and have beliefs on both sides of the political spectrum so to say. What I don’t approve of is extremist on either side.

Now when it comes to the President John F. Kennedy Assasination, I became intriqued in who did it investigations and Congressional Hearings and theories on it all.

I threw out the Warren Commision because it was politically motivated and had too many unanswered questions, in the biggest who done it mystery in the world, still to this day. The main question I always ask, is why would the American Governement lock away records from an Investigation of an American President, foras minimum of 50 years? And why do they continually, release small amounts of documents, but not all for all to see?

Then I went on myself reading, looking at and trying to figure out what happened on my own. I went the Lone Assasin Theory of Oswald, The Mafia Connection, The Cuban Connection and much more. In the end i was still mystified, so I went deeper on my own, trying to explain to myself, what happened and who may have really did it all.

When you stop and think about it all, President Kennedy had many enemies period. People who thought or believed he had basically turned on or changed his mind on, or betrayed in someway.

John Kennedy’s father made deals with the Mob to get his son elected. Then Fidel Castro and The Bay of Pigs. Vice President Johnson is points at some too. There were and are so many theories period on who killed JFK. I have seen them all believe me, and the Committees too. Start with the Warren Report, then years later The Church Committee, then a third Commitee after that and then slow releasing of documents associated with the case. In the end who really killed John F. Kennedy folks, do we know for sure?

I think not and i don’t think the American Governement will ever release all documents on the Assasination that occurred on November 22nd, 1963. We have video of it and we have investigations with hidden or not realeased information, so why?

I want to say this here and now, what I found were theories to cover truths in this case, but facts are very sketchy and well hidden in all Reports or results. In the end though The last two Committees that investigated this, found a conspiracy was real in JFK’s Assasination, Martin Luther KIng’s Assasination and yes Robert F. Kennedy’s Assasination also. So why is the American Government hiding information and not allowing anyone to talk regarding it now? What fears do they have really.

My conclusion and opinion is simple really, Lee Harvy Oswald if he pulled the trigger would have never hit Kennedy from the Texas Book Depository. What I saw in real time that day asa child, showed me from my own sight, Kennedy was shot in triangular pattern from at least three positions. It wa sindeed a conspiracy to get rid of him. Now the guestion is who was really behind it, The mob could have been they had the shooters and weapons and knowledge. Fidel Castro is out in my mind, for he just would not take that chance, Cuba’s existance was at stake if he did. Did the CIA play a part, maybe for they were there and on the railroad tracks and Grassy Knoll. What is important to remember here is this, who ever killed JFK, wheither MOB, Castro, Bay of Pigs Members, or Lee Harvey Oswald, had connections, information and the ability to set up the whole affir and the following murder too. The same folks, who eliminated JFK, eliminated MLK and RFK too. Fear drives people, fear of what these people could do if in power and each were inline to assume power at sometime. So, who is still a question is it not?

Final thought here, I have my beliefs as to who committed these Assasinations and why Marilyn Monroe was killed and by who also. In my own ways, I did my own look into all of it, because it changed America and it changed the world for all of us. America spun on all of these deaths and the 1960’s became the largest murder mystery headquarters in the world, due to it all. Will the United States Governement ever reveal all and let us know the truth? I doubt it, but half for me is knowing I did my own investigation and reading and understand for myself, people were scared or JFK, MLK, RFK, and even Edward Kennedy too. The Kennedy’s were scared of Monroe speaking and revealing their affairs with her. And if you stop to think about it, why is it all so connected and who knew it all, may tell you the answers, as to who did it all!

Sunday has arrived folks? January 16th, 2022, amazingly I am still alive and here. I swear to God I always thought, I would be gone by 40 years old, yet I am still kicking. So far I have lived with many things wrong with me and survived, it is really surprising to me.

That said, life is still going on around me. It’s like a daily soap opera really. Something different or stupid happens ora force of nature and wham, the world gets excited for a few moments in time, then it fades and another happens. Who’s marrying whom, who’s breaking up with whom, who gave the covid virus to whom, how did covid come into being? I tell you the world is like a big soap opera and we all star in it for a few miniutes at different times.

Sounds crazy right, but it rreally isn’t. Mankind is the only being in the world that not only tries to better itself, but also works to destroy itself and the planet we live on too. Why? But it happens and history will show it all to you if you study it.

Adam and Eve, even, they were given the world asa paradise and specifically told not to do things. Then, tempted by a snake Adam picks an apple and bam, the world changes for them both. Religious in ature yes, but it still shows mankind can even destroy paradise, can’t we?

Historically, nations and countries and kingdoms rise and fall. Why Greed, Avariice, Hatered, Jealousy, all exist in our souls. We want more than everyone else around us and we push it, till it rips and makesa mess all over the place. One man covets anothers woman. one woman may covet another’s man, then we have sexual orientations to worry about, politics, economics, healthcare, viruses and so much more. We tend to change things we shouldn’t and we tend to go from one extreme to the other to do so. It’s a mess called mankind and humanity run amok really.

I see whites, blacks, hispanics and orientals all equal in this world. Yet, all fight among themselves fora piece of the pie so to say, it’s normal for mankind to do. Yet, in the end is it normal, to hate someone for their skin color, or nationality, or sexual preference? Is it normal to talk about other races, colors and nationalities in derogotory natures? Not really, we do so because we are taught top as we grow up. Stop and think about it, would you still hate a person different then you if you grew up with them, side by side? I say this because there are some facts Human Kind tend to ignore in this area.

1. All humans regardless of nationality, race or color, do the exact same things daily and nightly. We all must wake up, we all must eat, deficate, urinate and wipe our own asses.
2. We all bleed red when our blue blood inside us hits the air we breath and is oxygenated.
3. We all work to achieve comfort and affordabily and ask for equal treatment.
4. We all fornicate and produce children if we are straight sexually, if people are gay they adopt if they want.
5. Wheither man or woman, we all have the same needs for food, air, love and health too.

Now let me say this, we have been warring between the nationalities and the races and colors now forever on this planet. We try to get more than we should instead of sharing and just getting what we need. We have gluttony, we have jealousy, we have envy all built into us. We have predijuce and discrimination, and we don’t even understand why we have it. Whites, blacks, hispanics, orientals, asians, what ever you are, wake up, mankind is mankind and we are in this all together.

I care not, what your color, race or nationality is, I do care if you respect me, I do care that you treat me decent and use manners as needed. I do care that I don’t have to fight a racial war or any kind of war anymore. I served my country, these United States of America for 16 years folks. I served with men and women of all nationalities and races and colors. We strove to do our duty side by side, sweated, toiled and all under the same rules and regulations and the Military Code of Justice. We signed up to defend our country and we all did it with pride. What makes anyone think in time of defense or war, we are any different than the man or woman who stands besides us and fights the same battle no matter what color, nationality or race or sex you may be? Your not folks, and those who hate without reason other than what their parents or friends taught them, are just dead wrong. Racism, Predijuce, Discrimination, Jealousy, Greed, Gluttony, Avarice, all destroy us as human beings. Yes there will be times when there are reasons, but there is still no right to hurt, maime, kill or destroy another human being. no one has the right to take another persons right to live, be free and do so in their own ways. Remember you don’t want someone doing it to you, don’t do it to someone else.

Ok, living after my wife died, has been a day to day affair for me. I slowly slipped away from worrying about my own health, and it wasn’t good for me at all. I stopped using my CPAP machine for a while and noticed I was getting headaches and heart problems from it all. I would get pressure in my chest and headaches and sit down and suddenly doze off and pop back quickly.

So I was trying to decide what was wrong me with, when I went back to my CPAP useage last night. I am hoping it is what part or all of the probem is in fact. Time shall tell now.

Next subject, Today starts the NFL WildCard Playoffs at 4;30 pm est here. The new format runs through Saturday, Sunday and into Monday. It is new for all fans, and it should be some good games to see.

1. Raiders vs, Bengals- After seeing the Raiders come back against the Chargers to win, I sawa great game. The Bengals have not been in the playoffs in years, but neither have the Raiders. Performance wise The Raiders look better at this date and time, but anything can happen. In the end if the game is close I wouldm take the Raider,s but if the Bengals Offense is on the Bengals will win. Close game I believe, take the Bengals by 3, here.
2. The Patriots vs, the Bills- The Patriots and coaches have a advantage here in Playoff experience, but the Bills are slowly building a new dynasty in Buffalo. Who has the better Defense here will win I believe, the Bills havea decent denfense and a really good chance here at home. Josh Allen is a great QB and is mobile, and they can produce a running game. I say Bill’s by seven, if The Bills Front four get the Mac Jones three time sin this game.
3. Sunday, the First game is Eagles vs Buccaneers- This game can get interesting if the Eagles can get to Tom Brady. But if they can’t expect Brady to throw up 28 points here. All will depend on the Eagles Defense, because the Bucs defense will get to Hurts and stop the run game. Buccaneers by 14 I say.
4. 49ers vs, Cowboys- Advantage Cowboys for home field here. Prescott is pretty solid as is the Cowboys denfense these days. Running game may favor the 49ers though and can the QB for San Fran, hold up in the playoffs? I say since it is in Dallas, Cowboys but 10 here!
5. Steeler vs Chiefs in KC- Chiefs have Mahomes and a damn good defense, Steelers are a Surprise in the playoffs. Rothelsburger can still throw, but not run. Steelers do have running backs and a Defense too. Based on the KC Defense here, and Mahomes, I think KC wins here by 14.
6. Cardinals vs Rams-In LA of course here so that give the Rams home firld advantage. The Cardinals have proven themselves to be better on the road then in their home. Stafford has helped the Rams since he was traded to them. He is a much better signal caller and passer the Goff was. The Rams defense always shows up big. The Cardinals are a very good team offensively and defensively too. This could be the upset game of these WildCard games. I am thinking Kyler Murray plays great and runs for some yardage, and then throws for 300 yeards here. I will go out on a limb here and say Cardinals in an upset here by 7.

NFL Football has been a passion of mine since I was five and watching it with my step-father growing up. It is the players and the strageties that win games here. Which is why teams like The Patriots, Cowboys, Chiefs, and Buccaneers have advantages in these games. Biut every now and then a big upset happens, and this may be one of thise years they happen in the Wildcard Round.

When the y reach The Divisional Round it wil be interesting to see who goes to Green Bay and Tennesee. For both teams look good and strong and ready unless injuries or covid strike them. It is about to becaome one wild playoffs for all to enjoy. Enjoy Folks who love the NFL and all Fans I will.

As winter blasts all of us now in New England the New Year of 2022 continues on. We hide in out homes, try to stay warm and all of us know it costs us more each year. Heating oil, gas goes up, food goes up,, healthcare is crazy and in the end so are taxes. Now many think it all is caused by one President, one Administration in the White House it isn’t folks. Listen please, unless you get the Senate to work as one unit and The House also, things stagnate and we get deeper into debt and our economy slumps.

Snow will come and go and so will the cold here in New England for us all. The economy is never one man’s fault, nor is healthcare or food or fuel costs. A lot of the blame belongs on The Senate, and The house of Representatives as they bargin or fail to bargin over our future. In the meantime the economy keeps hitting hihgh inflation levels, fuels go up and food and healthcare. Let me say this to all, if Congress asa whole both the Senate and house can insure they have affordable healthcare, and decent saleries, why can’t they do the same for all Americans?

I tire of people complaining of the fact healthcare is not affordable anymore. Whyis it other nations can provide their citizens, healthcare coverage, but out won’t or think they can’t? Whats wrong with sending a team of Senators and Repressentatives to Canada and studying their system and then briinging it to America for all of us here? Are the Canadians smarter than we are on this one?

Why can’t political pressure be put on the oil producing, gas producing nations and companies to lower fuels prices for all Americans? What is wrong with this picture folks? Ever wonder why, our leaders refuse to change and make things better for us, but in the end they still get raises and healthcare coverage of their own. Why?

MItch McConnell, McCarthy and other Republicans are blocking anything and everything put forth.Why? Listen you can play your little political games in other ways that don’t affect the average American’s healthcare, food costs, fuel costs and more, if you want to, but you are getting richer, collecting big pay checks and sitting around in offices doing not a damn thing, nowadays. Why?

The one won’t pass this bill, that one blocks another bill, McConnell mouths off about the President, McCarthy won’t cooperate with the Jan. 6th, Committee and Investigation and they get away with it all, why? Why are the American people not rising up and forcing these politicians to act and make it right for all of us? Please tell me folks!

Let me say this, what does McCarthy have to fear and why won’t he testify about January 6th, 2021 and his conversations with Donald J. Trump? What does Trump have on Lyndsey Graham, and MCCarthy and others? It is to me very suspicious that these men, back Trump and refuse to talk period. Why are they hiding what they know? Simple folks, they had some kind ofinput to the Riot/ Insurrection themselves, that is why you run and hide when questioned like this. OTherwise whats the reason for not answering the questions, they know they will perjure themselves and be liable under the law is why! They are all lawyers, period. One thing any Lawyer will tell you, they protect themselves from ligigation and legal charges in anyway they can. So the game goes on, protecting Trump, refusing to testify or talk and hiding as they do in public sight.

Here is a good one for all to hear and listen to, as OathKeepers, and others face charges for the January 6th, attack on the Capital, and they go to jail by big numbers, Trump sits having steaks and potatos and veggieson America’s dime in Mar a Largo, Floridia. I wonder how all of these people who were arrested, charged and now convicted will feel when they are released and their lives are in ruin, because Trump told them to storm the Capital of his own Governement? Someone tell me why a twice Impeached Ex-president of the United States is allowed to give speeches, against our governemnt, collect a pension from out Governement, when he set up the attack on our Governement himself? How is this possible in America?

I watch the news daily and let me say this before I go any further. The news reports all different versions of everything that happens/ In the end CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and more all have different insights and ways ofpresenting it all. None tell the truth alone, some add to the stories they report, some politisize the stories they tell and some just lie and get away ith it all. Why? Why is there no censureship on the news these days? It’s a sad world we live in when people can get on Television yell, scream and rant and point at the President of The United States and call his stupid, or slow or say he has no idea what he is doing! This does not help the current population of the United States in anyway, does it? I think not! Certain Media Outlets/ Television Stations should be sued for what they produce and call news, it isn’t news it editorials being spoken on television to sway the population the way they want it to go. You have facts you can back up with evidence ok, no evidence and facts, stop.

I have now heard of the woke movement, and I disagree with it period. It is bullshit, you can’t change human nature and facts to make you look good, it doesn’t work.

Anyway I cover many topics in my blogs, from health issues, to the price of it too. To education issues, political issues, covid and the econonmy. OIl Prices and wars and even elections when they are up and active. I will say this here and now, anyone who would back a Twice impeached president to run again is lost. Anyone who would back a twice losing Presidentail Canidate is lost too. Neither Clinton nor Trump should be anywhere the White House or the Office of President. Anyone saying otherwise needs to wake up, look at the facts and realize neither is good for the country or any of us.

MY final question for today is this: How Far will the American People allow the Senate, and The Houseof Represenatives go and get away with all they are not doing, before you react out there? The best way to change it all and get some results is to hold each politician who is in Washington, that we the people pay, accountable and make them do their jobs for us, the American People. If they don’t they should be removed from office an dthe blockage in Washington must end! The only way we can control it, improve it and make things happen is by voting, Vote Them Out if they keep blocking and supporting Trump too. We are the greatest nation on the planet, yet we are also so self destructive, we have to stop allowing it to happen!

I know I am old and not with the woke crowd on many issues, but one thing I am not is stupid or lost and I have lived going on 66 years, very soon. I tire of people putting words into other people’s mouths. or thinking they know better than everyone else in authority. So many people think, Covid is a joke or it doesnt matter these days and they run without masks, and they then get sick, whether it is a common cold or covid and they just keep acting like nothing is wrong. Why is that folks?

Let me say something here and it may not be liked by many, some may object to my saying it, but, in my opinion, those who think covid is a joke, or a fake thing put out by the governement, your wrong and the only way you will change your mind is if you get it, or someone you love gets it and dies. I believe all of us as human beings need to have consideration for others and we need to protect those we love and those around us at all costs. Common consideration and manners are lost in this anger about covid and how to handle it.

I do believe you should have a choice whether to wear a mask or not, it is up to you what chances you take with your own life, but what about those around you where you go shopping, or to drink or dance or sing or the movies in public facilities and businesses? Let me ask you non-maskers and deniers of covid, a simple question, do you care about other people more than you care about yourself or are you so damn selfish and foolish you don’t care? It’s a simple question isn’t it? I understand you don’t like wearing a mask in public, you believe you had covid once and you have antibodies in your system, but I remind you the numbers are growing of people who have been vaccinationed or had covid before, who are ending up in hospitals or dying. Why do you think that is? It’s simple, people don’t want to wear masks because they don’t want to be bothered because they had covid right, they are worried about what they look like, or that they have to pull the mask up or down when eating. It’s bullshit really. Many will cry and complain and put me down and make fun of me for what I am saying, but stop being so damn vain and worried about what you look like when you wear a mask, or have to pull it up or down in circumsatnces. You being vain and not wearing a mask lets a virus that can kill sprerad faster and kill more people, when it hits the people you love or are friends with you will begin to think it over. I pray you don’t lose a family member or husband or wife to covid or even a friend for if they die, who’s responisible?

I know Uncle Sam says that covid virus was created in a lab in China, that doe not mean we just let it run rabid through the world’s population, or do we. Who really believes this crap of let the covid virus go and learn to live with it? Do you really beleve that, if you do, you need to wake up. People are sick and it is spreading all variants, and it is only a matter or time till it hits someone you love, a friend, family member or you. When it does, don’t blame China, don’t blame Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Dr. Fauci, take a look in the mirror and ask your self, why didn’t I listen, why didn’t I at least be more aware of what I was doing and those around me, and how did you get it ultimately simple you didn’t vaccinate, you didn’t wear a mask, you bucked the system and the way you were told to do things, because you think they are violating your rights. They aren’t folks, they are not running you down, slapping a mask on you or fining you for not wearing one. They can’t, we are a free society and have our personal right I know. but in the end, people are dying and you could be next, wake up please.

Here is a second subject for all to listen to, I think. Why is everyone blaming Biden for the economy? The man is President for a few days over a year, you really think he caused this inflation in a little over a year? No he didn’t! The inflation we are experiencing was there under Trump and grew out of what Trump did , wake up. Trump pased his tax package for him and all the rich not you or me. He didn’t build the wall he promised either and in the end he did not really accomplish a damn thing in four years in office. The truth is the truth here and who else as President, was Impeached Twice in one term in Office? Who tried to tell people to drink bleach or inject themselves with it to beat covid? Who, failed to expediate the covid vaccines and put them out on time. Trump is who? It’s a sad tale when I hear people blaming everyone for things Trump did or did not do. BIden is trying and he makes more sense than Trump ever will in my book. I don’t argue politics on a normal basis, why because the conservative side backing Trump goes crazy when you hit them with facts, they run, they scream , they raise their arms and hands. and they defend a man who was a twice Impeached President and is a walking criminal in more ways than one. It’s sad to see, what did Donald J. Trump do to deserve such a following and what about those who are now going to jail, for doing the Insurection and riot Trump told them to? I bet they are happy now laying in jail! Ask them if they still believe in what Trump told them to do when they get released and can’t get a decent job in their future. It’s sad tale to her a and watch really, for they all should have realized what they were doing storming the capital, but they didnt, it called a frenzy they went through. Sadly, as they go to jail for listening to Trump, Trump sits in Mar a Lago playing golf and eating like a king on our tax dollars still. Wake up please!

January 12th, is upon me now, and I awoke at 5am. Pitch black outside and I laid in bed for a good 15 minutes wide awake, trying to go back to sleep but failed. Now it is 6;20 am and I am on my second cup of coffee here. I started looking at mobile homes and mobile home loans now as well as condos. My thought is simple I need to get a place of my own and I would prefer owning to renting. Time shall tell of course.

I am thinking I am a single man again and a widower. Am I worried what anyone else thinks about me, or where I live, no. Look, I get questions on why would you want a mobile home, why don’t I get a rental place, or do you know no woman will want you, if you live in a Mobile Home? In the end my response to each question seems to not hit people correctly. I am 65, very soon to be 66, I am set in my ways basically. I like who I am and what I am and I do the best I can. I am not out trying to chase women or date women, nor do I really want a relationship at this time. I lost my wife who I loved for 28 years last August 10th, to cancer. It will be hard to replace her even if I tried, so I am not interested, in really trying. Nor have I ever learned to flirt in my life, although I was married twice.

As to home for myself, I am currently staying with my sister and her man here. I try extremely hard to not bother either of them and to steer clear of all they do. I basically use four places in their home, a bedroom to sleep and store my clothing, a kitchen I use the microwave in, a small area in their basement to store my stuff and finally a livingroom to watch tv and an island chair to use my computer on, at their bar. Period folks. Thats my life now a days. I do my own laundry, my own dishes, and I mind my own business. But even under those circimstances, I can feel an uneasiness growing, and I get suggestions on things like why don’t I rent a place. Look I will look at rentals and condos and mobile homes, and try now to find something I can afford. My biggest holdup is trying to sell a home I had for 28 years and it needs some work, so I now have to lower the price. In progress is that one now.

I know people need their privacy and I try to never stick my nose in anyone’s business here. So, I go one day at a time doing, home searches for condos, and mobile homes for myself. I hope to never interfear in anyone’s life here or be a burden to anyone.

My medical condition is not 100 percent and I know it and I am cautious with anything I do. From my PTSD, to my 6 Herniated discs in my spine, to high blood pressure and diabeties, I go one day at a time. I believe I have had even a minor stroke just recent;ly, but I say nothing to anyone.

Life my friends is not easy when you get older and you lose your partner in life. You get shocked, you have to adjust, you tend to not want to, and you tend to miss them dearly. We all have loves in our lives folks and I pray none of you lose yours suddenly like i did, I knew it was coming before she did, but still. It’s a shock to my system and my life.

As soon as i can find a place to live, and I can move on I shall for I do not want anyone thinking I am a burden or a pain in the ass to them. I undertand people are being nice and letting me stay in their home with them. I understand it has been a while since I came to stay here. But, some think you just make a decision and move on, at the snap of your fingers, it isnt how it works. It never does work out that way, folks. When your used to living life one way and move n with others who live it their own way, it can be a situation where things don’t always fit properly, so you compromise and avoid any friction. I don’t think anyone likes being dependent on anyone else, nor does anyone want to be a burden on anyone who is trying to help them.

My search for a new place to live must now go on with a little more urgency, and it must become more intense. So, I will try to look at condos and mobile homes and loans for both, I shall also try to find an affordable rental if I can. I can’t promise anything, but to try.

Look some do not fully understand my full medical condition and I have not told anyone all of it. It really matters not I think in the end, does it? What do you do with a man, who has PTSD, Six Herniated discs in his spine, high blood pressure and diabeties, plus a history of minor strokes? Not much really to do is there?

I don’t need fancy or big, I don’t want small and a box either, looking at homes. I will never own another home that is over 4100 Square feet again, nor do I want to. I don’t want to plow driveways, cut grass, fix roofs. I want a place for me to relax in in my older days, and to enjoy myself when I want. Is it too much to ask, I hope not, Lord, I hope not. I really would like a 55 plus community, where there are others I can talk to my own age and events to do, when I want to. Something that will keep my mind busy and my heart going also. Is it too much to ask, I don’t know but, I can try, can’t I?

One more thing to say here today. I know others are reading this blog and shaking their heads at what I say, and going whats wrong with this guy. My opinions and thoughts are my own folks and so are my feelings about everything and everyone and all situations. I do not force anything on anyone and never would, not my way, ask people who have known me since I was 14 years old, they would tell you, straight up. So, please, allow me my place to vent and say what I feel or think I need to say. I don’t try to change anyone’s mind, or ways and I don’t expect anyone to force anything on me, either. My head pounds at times, I get light headed, I tend to go from highs to lows emotionally and that is how it is for me these days. My breathing can be eractic also, where as I stop breathing and then restart suddenly and yes people do notice it too. So, as to how long I last I do not know, but I do know, when I do pass myself, I just wish to be cremated, and buried next to my wife and a military funeral. I think Uncle Sam can do that for me, since i served for 16 years of my life and have 5 Honorable Discharges to my name.

I would not be surprised if I died of a brain hemmorage, or a cancer related death, fate tell me it is possible and what I feel may happen. But again who knows for sure, I am just a man trying to figure out life and my own health and what to do next now, it is all I can do.
