NFL Play Offs- Conference Games- 2014/Stories


      Sunday has arrived and two Championship Games in the NFL will be played today. One for the AFC and one for the NFC.

        The AFC- Pits two gunslinging Quarterbacks in Brady and Manning and both have some great receivers too. Offensive lines are about equal and can protect their Quarterbacks well, and pass and run block.  What will determine the winner in this game is simple defense and mistakes. Which ever team makes a mistake and turns the ball over or finds a way to pass defend best wins. These two Quarterbacks will be in the Hall of Fame one day, one way or another no doubt, Manning holds all the passing records and has only won one Super Bowl, so this game is more vital to him then to Brady. But we shall see in a toss up game like this one who knows what can happen. If The Patriots can run on Denver in their home stadium then they could win this, but on the other hand if Denver can run for over 100 yards and manning is on his game, this is all Broncos. Stand by folks for a good damn game here!

       NFC- pits the San Francisco 49ers against a Seattle Seahawks team that is hungry and wanting it all and plays like it too. San Francisco, has an Offense that can score on anyone and a Quarterback on Kapernick who is good. Frank Gore will key this offense with his running, if he goes down or can’t run, San Francisco will have to depend on the arm of their man. Kap is good but how good is yet to be shown.  defensively while San Francisco is a pretty damn good defensive squad here, I say the Seahawks have the better Defense in this game. Seattle also has Wilson for a Quarterback young strong, determined and  a hell of a player. Then you throw in Marshawn Lynch and you have a bowling ball runner who can run in tough spots and in the open too. Lynch should be on anyone’s all star team for sure and has power to spare. To get to the Super Bowl, Wilson’s arm and Lynch’s running in a nice mixture combined with some toss’s to the wide out to keep San Francisco honest at the line should pull it out.

         Yes, I know I am predicting an all Western Super-Bowl to be played in a cold New York, but, thats how I see it this time around. Prepare for the Seahawks and Broncos in a shoot-out in the frozen tundra of New York’s Metro Stadium. It will be a good one if I am right.

       Last but not least today,I present:  book for sale on Amazon’s Kindle E-books. it’s called Men Do Cry. It’s the true story of why men do cry, how we cry and why and why there is no shame in doing so, and that it is needed to be known, we need to cry too.

“Men Do Cry”

I have now written 40 different short stories and little books. My poems are well known by some also and I thank all for that. Thanks for reading my blog and listening to my Rants, My Poems, my poems and my predictions. I hope some will like all I do and read my works. God Bless you all!

My 40 Works Online


       I now have 40 written works online all written and created by me, yet very few sell at all. I wonder if it is my editing, my writing, or my style, or they are just not interesting enough for people to want or read. Do I market them wrong through Amazon’s Kindle E-books, do I create them wrong using Create A Space’s formats? Or am I just writing about subjects people don’t care to read about?

        They range from a very short sci-fi story I call Mackey, to Murder Mysteries and even a romance or two, yet I guess my form of writing is not good enough for other sto enjoy or I don’t embellish enough in my Military Stories. What ever it is, I am becoming disillusioned with writing and trying to reach the public with what I do. Maybe I am just not cut out to write and produce books good enough for the world to see. I have done many believe you me, even some on John F. Kennedy’s Assassination. maybe it’s because I don’t follow the story out far enough to an ultimate conclusion when it comes to my personal ones. I have no ral idea anymore, nor will I let it stop me or slow me down. It may change the direction of what I write and my subject matter.

           I was given advice long ago, when writing try to write on subjects you know and can make real, so I produced Disappearing Hams a Navy story. I produced Unwanted the story of my real childhood, I produced others too, too many to list here for sure, but I did them. I should have expanded them maybe, embellished them and made them more fantastic or more fantasy like, to sell, I can’t be sure what it is. I have placed my works on Watt Pad. in Amazon’s Kindle E-Books, and on KOBO too, yet very few sell. It must be my style or that my writing sucks in some way. Maybe people want something more factual, longer in nature, or less personal. I wish I knew!

            I will stop now and try to figure out whether, it is my style of writing, my use of the english language or the stories themselves before I start anything new. Maybe I should write stories more personal in nature and more realistic, or use more scenery or backgrounds, or expand the story to include two or three plots in one. I really don’t know anymore. Or Maybe I have written my final story when I did Men Do Cry, which explains why we men do cry and proves all of us must, no matter what sex. I know at least about tears, crying and misery believe me, but I don’t think that is what people want from me as a writer. I wish I knew. 

         Maybe the facts are what I should have stuck to in many stories or tales I told, I really do not know for sure. So I am going to post here a short story I compiled on JFK’s Assassination, an event in my life that I saw personally on television, and that affected my soul as a human being. All the facts are not perfect folks, nor is the writing, of it, but it does include what I think of many theories on it all .

         I hope to get some response on this one, as to what people think of it: Leave comments please:

JFK’s Assassination
Why Hide It!
By: William M. McCurrach

The trail always leads back to where it should have begun if you follow it carefully. History twists and colors and changes the truth to hide it from the world and its population.
On November 22, 1963, such an event rocked the world and the United States of America, as John F, Kennedy was shot dead in Dallas. Texas, his head blown apart, on public television as his wife Jackie, crawled over the back of the trunk hood of the limo, trying to scoop up his brains. The film is played across the world daily maybe a hundred times a day and on American Television it is all a part of the history channel and other channels as all tried to figure out, what happened and who was involved.
As American and World History tell us today in 2012, President Kennedy was shot by a lone assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, a loner, and an ex-marine. Were we really told the truth by the Warren Commission, or by the Commissions since headed by others? The only Commission to hold up the lone assassin theory of this killing was the Warren Commission, but did they tell the truth, was their whole magic bullet theory correct? I think not, I think the investigation if it was done proper at the time, would have led to other conclusions. The conclusions I speak of could involve Fidel Castro, The Bay of Pigs, Lyndon B. Johnson, and even the Mob led by Carlos Marcello and Santos Traficanti. Yet how would one prove such a theory all these years later, how can you really dig into the past so far back and find the truth? That my friends is what I wonder, but I can only give what I think a shot and let the American People think what they want and respond, can’t I. The theories abound each day and year that passes, information slowly trickles out of the Government files and FBI records and more. Yet no firm release of all the records has been done and still you get the sneaky feeling, Uncle Sam is covering something up and only giving us a little at a time. Why is that, most likely because it is true, the American Government worked overtime to hide the facts, the people and avoid the truth of that shooting in Dallas. Jacob Rubinstien AKA Jack Ruby said it before he was jailed and again at his trial, no one shall ever know the full truth of what happened on November 22, 1963, if I don’t talk. He begged the Warren Commission Members, Justice Earl Warren and Representative Gerald Ford to take him to Washington so he could speak freely. They refused, why? What did Jack Ruby really know that the Commissioners were afraid of letting public? What did J. Edgar Hoover hide and why? These Questions all end up centering on some very mysterious and ruthless figures all connected to Jack Ruby. Carlos Marcellio, Santos Traficanti, David Ferrie, Roselli, and more, names remembered in Mob history for sure. Did the Mob really kill Kennedy and get away with it? I think the evidence may show it did if the investigation can ever be pushed forward and the truth can come out to the American People. Fear divides and halts so many, that even today in 2012, the Mob is silent killer and controller of many things, yet, as we know it shall never disappear will it?
We all know Jack Ruby was from Dallas at the time of the Assassination in 1963. But where did Jack come from, who helped him pay his bills for his clubs and what the hell was all that phone activity on his phones prior to it happening? How did Jack Ruby end up in Dallas, when he was originally in Chicago, prior and running guns to Cuba? The answer to Kennedy’s Assassination is not through Lee Harvey Oswald it may indeed be through Jacob Rubinstien AKA Jack Ruby.
Ruby ran guns, did odd jobs and more in his younger days for people like Capone and others. He ran the books for horses, and got money from criminals to keep his clubs going. He messed up Chicago somewhere and was banished to Dallas for a mistake and told to run the clubs there. His reputation in Dallas was as a club owner and punisher, a man running strip clubs, why? History shows Jake Ruby ran guns to Cuba, dealt with Mob bosses left and right and at one time as being a strong man for some of them and an errand boy too. The solution to Kennedy’s Assassination is through Jack Ruby, the connections dangle off of Ruby in many ways, and do you really believe the nonsense statement of, I shot Oswald to save Mrs. Kennedy pain! Come on Ruby wasn’t emotional really he acted well at the time to preserve his own family and more. The truth needs told sometime, doesn’t it folks, are we really dumb enough to believe the Magic Bullet Theory, or the Lone Assassin Theory? How many Officers were in Dealy Plaza that day, how many radios were open and how many people on the grassy knoll ducked at the sound of gun fire and ran to the knoll verses the Book Depository that day in Dallas? Look at the films folks, look closely immediately after the shots where people run towards first. So many unanswered questions arise regarding that day in Dallas and the days following and years too. Who benefitted most from Kennedy’s death, well we can look there too. Lyndon B. Johnson became President, Carlos Marcellio stayed in the USA and got out of deportation, and Jimmy Hoffa rose to heights in the Unions and then disappeared for his big mouth. Silently across the America of the 1960s, mob bosses lived comfortably and without threat from Uncle Sam. Even Fidel Castro got stronger and steadier in Cuba, why? The decades have passed now and the records and files from Kennedy’s Assassination are still closed off to the public, they were sealed for fifty years after his death, why? What is hidden by the American Government, from the American People regarding Kennedy’s death and why? Will we ever know?

 

I hope some will comment and tell me what they think of the above lil story! Thanks to all who read this blog!

Disappearing Hams

 As January rolls on, it is time today for my trip to Oncology at the Hospital to check my status as a lung cancer Patient and my blood work. Hopefully it shall tell me it has not returned and I do not need any chemo or radiation still. But the blood does tell is all I know, so I shall see. Also my wife is getting more biopsies done on her breast for her lung cancer and may lose a breast to make life more livable for her. These days we are the cancer surviving couple around town and to family and friends. We both are stubborn, ornery and never giving up, it’s us.

My Rant for today is on Governor Christie of New Jersey and his Bridgegate and now Storm Sandy misuse of funds. I don’t care how much you wanted reelected, or what you think you did so well running your state, much like President Nixon before you in the White House you have brought on your own downfall with all of this. To allow your staff to use your name to close the Washington Bridge for retaliation against a Mayor who wouldn’t back you is bullshit and cost an old woman her life maybe.  Then, you go on to ask for, beg for and get relief funding for HUrricane Sandy for your state and people, yet use it to make a campaign ad for you and tourism in New Jersey while people need the money for home repairs and business repairs, come on now.  Then you have the balls to stand before America and the people of your state and tell us you didn’t know what was happening in Bridgegate and you are ashamed it happened. Get off your big ass Christie and admit you knew and were involved and carry on and drop the bullshit ok, just drop the Presidential aspirations and move along ok. You won’t become President not with this record or do you think the American people will forget that easy and forgive?

 

 

NFL Championship Games


Come this Weekend 4 teams remain in hunt for the Super Bowl Trophy and that is it.

AFC-  The New England Patriots go to Denver to play the Broncos! This game will pit two of the leagues best Quarterbacks against one another one more time Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning will be the big story for all sports broadcasters to talk about. But in the end it will be either one defense or the other that determines the winner here. The defense that can best slow down the other teams offense is the one that wins, basically even Brady or Manning can not get things done if the cornerbacks and linebackers do their jobs right. The best coverage team for passing is New England I think, yet Denver has a great run defense. To win one team must be able to do both run and pass, it will probably be New England, they are better built for it all. So I say take New England in this one, because in a close game, they can still run, Denver can’t. This will be one hell of a ball game for football fans of all ages here!

NFC The San Francisco 49ers, go north from their home to face the Seattle Seahawks, in a game of younger Quarterbacks and great defenses. This battle will probably, determine who gets the Super Bowl trophy in my opinion. If Seattle’s defense plays up to speed and all out they will nail Kapernick in the back field more then once and contain him from running and I believe Gore will be held to under a hundred yards in Seattle. In the meantime, Wilson and his offense will throw  at will in the short passing game underneath and outside, and then throw some running in to watch it pop the game open up the middle. In the end this game will  more than likely be the closer of the two, yet, it will determine who wins it all in the League. I say this for one reason, defenses in this game on both sides are tough. If Seattle wins, either of the AFC Teams, New England or Denver will face defenses like they haven’t seen before. Seattle has the best defense of the final four here. If San Francisco wins then the AFC team will face a fast and decent offense. I would take Seattle here they will be home and ready under Pete carrol for the biggest battle of the teams history.

NFL Divisional Round Predictions/Stories


       Today the National Football League begins it’s Divisional Round Playoffs, Last week I picked three out of the four winners in the wildcard round. The only surprise I received was the San Diego Chargers beating the Bengals.

This Weekends games will be, not as competitive in my mind, but we shall see. 

AFC

Colts come to Patriots in New England—- Take the Patriots with 7 points.

San Diego goes to Denver—- take Denver at home with Manning throwing for 4 tds at least

NFC

NO Saints go to Seattle to play the Leagues best in the Seahawks— I would take the Saints here by 3

 San Francisco goes to Carolina to face the Panthers— Take San Francisco here by 7

The AFC and NFC Championships should be interesting in any case, the remaining teams are fighters!  

And away we go, towards the Superbowl!

 A Murder Mystery with a twist ending!

 

Thoughts of World, War and Home!


     Another Day begins in 2014, and more keeps happening world-wide. Each day a new attack from someone on someone somewhere in the world. These who believe war will earn them something are wrong, unless that war is based on principles of peace and necessary. Sadly, we shoot each other and kill each other like fools over a border line, a religious quote, a belief, or in anger, each minute in the world someone dies, who shouldn’t due to it all.  Wars are foolish, unnecessary, and ruthless, for more innocents get killed and all we do is watch in horror. America tries to defend and protect and police the world against evil, but in the end, ever the greatest nation in the world, must stop doing so and take care of its own people.

America is not made to police the world, but we are here as a country and people, because we believe in what is right and that all men are created equal. We believe there is no reason to attack another country just because of religious beliefs, or political differences, we do what is right and we may walk away from such people it is our right as a nation. Policing the world failed for us in Korea, it failed for us in Vietnam, it will fail where ever we try to do it, for we are not the world police folks, and people have differences we do not belong in. We use our military to influence and push other into a better direction, isn’t it time we realize, we can’t afford to keep doing so. Afghanistan, The Sudan,  and others across the world call for our help knowing we have military might and political pull in the world, but is it time we stop, pulling others fat out of the fire so to say. What can we do is North and South Korea  fight it out, nothing folks, we are too far away and too smart I hope to do that one again. If you want to help the world and the people in it Americans help the children who will one day be the leaders on the planet to understand and survive, so these wars will not happen again, educate, teach, live peace.

       As 2014, goes further along we are now 5 days in, and I see no change in America’s stances on many things and yes, I am an American Disabled Veteran folks. I did my job for 16 years in the military lived my life my way and did as ordered. I firmly believe in America, protect, preserve and defend, I didn’t stay in the military for that long of a time to not care, I stayed in not for myself, but for the love I had for my family and friends back home here. Some Americans have the opinion that American Service members stay in just to retire and get the benefits from it, others do not understand, as military members we do our best to stay alive out there, but we do so for those we love back home. We get killed and hurt and injured, and then we come home to a country that has moved forward, elected a new President and been taken in a new direction, and we feel left out or lost, because we can’t assimilate to the society we left behind anymore. So we suffer depression, anxiety, pain each day and we smile through it all, until we feel abandoned and forgotten by the same people we fought to defend and protect. Then as the depression builds, in loneliness, one day they find us dead with a gun in one hand and our brains blown across some floor. This is what happens to men and women who serve who can’t live anymore because of PTSD, depression and anxieties and they can’t reach out and find a way to fit in anymore, because they are no longer equipped to do so. Sad isn’t it folks but true, look around and you will see us, struggling on a street corner, living in a cardboard box on a street alley, asking for donations so we can eat and sleep in warmth, heading to churches for help and to talk. We are Americas Veterans, we are the survivors of battles you all sent us in to fight, and we did so proudly, not for ourselves, but for Love, Honor, Country, Family and friends. So, when you walk into a Walmart, or shopping mall or plaza and see a scraggly person, in old uniforms or dressed in flags hobbling around and hurt, and hungry, many of them could be us, the Veterans you asked to serve and did so proudly only to come home and get overlooked.

I have other beefs and rants too of course as a man and a person, but none more than the above. I don’t agree with all that our country does, but I do have the following thing to say as a final rant for today. If America were to pull out of all war zones and battles and policing actions, bring home all weapons, military and money, and put it into the American Economy and making jobs for all and educating Americans, wouldn’t America be so much better off? Think of the money we spend to fight wars and police other nations and people and how many billions we use to do so and what it would do for our own economy and country if we invested in ourselves instead of it all? Amazingly, you would find an economy today that would be growing instead of puttering along, the jobs would open up more and the wheels would get greased that we need to fix, Obama Care, to fix Job Markets, to fix many things, yet we continue to fight wars for others! Sad aren’t we folks, we sometimes look too far outside and ignore what is inside our own country and needing help.

Ok, enough ranting today, it is Sunday a Fun Day as my baby sister always say, It’s a Sunday to pray as you please to what God you believe in, it’s a Sunday for family, friends and lovers to unite. It’s a Football Day in January with two games played yesterday and two more to go today for WildCard Weekend in The NFL. One thing Americans like to watch sports of all kinds, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, and more, yes even Golf, why I don’t know one whole of that one and I sleep.  But, people are different every where ya go and we love our sports.  So Sunday is usually sports day here in America, although the women hate us for it lol. We do it anyway, and love it us men at least. Traditions just die-hard for sure and we pass them to our children each day we live, this is just one of them.

My closing today is a little different folks, I as a Disabled Veteran believe in my country and our freedom of speech and appreciate it greatly. As all of us should for we fought for the rights we have long ago in history against the British and Won. I believe in our right to bear arms too, but, I don’t believe in the right to bear military weapons in our homes, on our streets or not protected and safety on and stored properly so our children will never get them. You want to hunt animals fine, you want to go shooting on a range fine, you have these rights, but you do not have the right to take a firearm to a public place and start shooting people because your mad or depressed or sick.  We need stronger gun laws to protect our children, our citizens and more, not to protect the people who shoot people, Ok! Enough said!
