Deflate-Gate/ M.L.B/ Politics


     Time to Discuss somethings going on in America right now and that will effect our future Americans.

Lets start with Deflate-gate in The NFL, do we really care here? We all know someone deflated the damn footballs and the proof gathered points to QB Tom Brady  and the team equipment managers. It matters not which one did it, one manager or the other they did it at the behest of Tom Brady period. Was it right no, did it help The Patriots win the game in question, I doubt it, because both teams played with the same damn footballs and the Colts lost by a large margin. But there is the little thing of breaking the rules and morals and ethics of the game, so Tom Brady will probably be hit with fines and a suspension of some sort. Once that is done and over with, all will be watched a lot more closely for sure.

Now, talking about cheating- lets take a good look at Major League Baseball, and it’s election of players to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. If Major League Baseball, allows the likes of Barry Bonds, and Mark McGuire, or A-Rod into the Hall of Fame they certainly should allow Pete Rose in.  Pete Rose made a human mistake of betting on baseball, but these others are using steroids and drugs and enhancements to further their own careers not Major League Baseball. They want into the Hall of fame so bad they can taste it, yet if The Commissioner allows them in, it will be enhanced players against those who did it normally and that is just wrong. Now that should take care of my beliefs regarding cheating in sports period, unless the sport is play au- natural they don’t belong in any hall of fame sorry. It’s unfair to the players before them who did it all natural. The Home Run King Title should be given back to Hank Arron too, he did his naturally period.

Time for politics folks: As The 2016 Election Cycle has begun, names are flying all over the place as candidates jockey for position in both parties and even third parties too.

We know Hillary Rodham Clinton is running and now she has some Democratic opponents to deal with. The Republicans and  The Tea Party it seems are throwing anyone they can up to oppose her, like throwing stuff against a wall to see if it sticks. The truth is there are no in my opinion any real candidates who can win on the Republican/Tea Party side at all. None have any experience, none have the integrity and honesty to win the Presidency in my opinion. sad isn’t it. So, do me a favor folks, take a long look ok, if you thing anyone can give you the experience, the knowledge or abilities of Hillary Rodham Clinton you let me know!

 

 

Sunday Funday and More


     Sunday as my baby sister would say, is Fun Day in the world. You relax, play games, and watch Television, you play with ones you love and have fun.  People rush to Church, make fresh coffee, read the paper and wish they had money to buy things from the ads. The women prepare to do cooking and clothes and the men play video games, fix things around the house and watch the games. Yes indeed, Sunday is Fun Day.

The end of the NFL Season is here men, it seems that time has come again. When the Playoff Picture is clearer for many teams and on the border for others, for some it will be win and you’re in, for others it will be your already in, let the fun begin, and for the rest well, next season will be next.

Major League Baseball produced a Champion in The Boston Red Sox this year of 2013. Then after the game the free agent market swept in and stole players from the team that won, once again. players getting millions of dollars to play a past time favorite, for all, especially kids of all ages. Yes Folks, Baseball, Football and even Basketball started out on the playgrounds of the world and all loved playing it for a while. It seems we all have our Fun days don’t we folks?

Sundays are also movie days for many, as they rent movies, go to the theatres and use Net Flix to look up the ones they missed.  What is the latest Adventure or Mystery Movies. or Sci-Fi flick we can all watch as family together?  We watch our movies with popcorn or treats in hand a drink by our side and a friend be it a woman or a man. The Pets run to and fro and watch us as we watch them go, and we do what we can to make joy and laughter once again. So yes, Sunday is indeed Fun Day for many!

 

Writing/Boston Red Sox/Wake Up for 2014


       Writers we write for one reason or another, some of us are obsessed with events in history and people in time or places or events. Others by thoughts of what could be or can’t be, or madness and joy. We writers write to get out the repressed feelings we have on a subject or another, and we try to express how and why we feel about it all and what we might do or would do it a situation. Or we write of things that were beyond anyone’s control and try to explain why others did them. In the end the words that appear on paper or on the computer screen and in books and articles, express how we feel and there is no writer who does not write without some bias or prejudice in what they write. The fact is all writing in a magazine, book, newspaper or elsewhere is colored by the person writing it and their own views and feelings, thats writing isn’t it folks! 

Boston Red Sox 2013 World Series Champions, will hold their Celebration Parade Today in Boston. A Team that came back from the worst record in Major League Baseball to the First in Major League Baseball has to celebrate! The Town of Boston, the Red Sox and Their Fans will proudly display their faces, uniforms, and the Trophy to all in BOston and enjoy and drink in the warmth of their fans, what a day it shall be Boston, Boston Strong, Boston Sure, Boston Red Sox foreverMore! Go Red Sox Go! Love ya all! celebrate well, but Safely Boston, you deserve a Celebration not just for the Red Sox winning it, but for surviving and being Boston Strong!

The 2016 Presidential Election cycle will launch in 2014 I am sure! When it does, each candidate of each party should be fully examined before the American People make a choice. While your at it Americans, stop and think about giving your next President a House and Senate they can work with and pass bills and laws through that will help the country and  it people and the economy. For no one person as President can run a country if their Congress doesn’t want to work with them, it’s called deadlock folks and we have it and suffer for it now in President Obama’s Second Term. Wake Up!

As the Presidential candidates will line up and show up soon in public and start giving speeches, stop and think Americans which one makes more sense, which one will help more people and which one will improve jobs, the economy and can handle leading us in the world in the right direction and get along with others and play well. At this time, I think we all know who the Democrats will put up as their Nominee  if she will run, but what will the Republicans do to face off against her ? That could be a surprise, but if his name is Cruz you can forget it is all I can say!

World Series/X-Mas Stories/Secrets


     Yes Indeed! Folks here comes the World Series of Baseball, from Fenway Park, Boston, Mass. on Wednesday Night! The ST. Louis Cardinals will come to Boston, to take on the Boston Red Sox  for the Championship of Major League Baseball! Boston will host a crowded venue in Fenway Park once more to see the games, as fans from both sides will yell and scream and eat and drink and stare down opposing teams members and back the teams. The Best of Seven World Series is indeed a Fall Classic worth watching, the pitching duels coming up and the hitting stars are alone worth it all. Watch Folks for The World Series is all red this year and should be a good one. For me Win, Lose or Draw I am a Diehard Boston Red Sox Fan! Go Red Sox Go!

Little Secrets ofMales and Females

There are things in life, men and women have some differences on and different needs in many ways, and there is no way to change it. Would we want to really, I doubt it all. Stop and think of the differences and the reasons for them and it is really an examination of not only physical differences but mental ones too.
As we all grow up there is a stage we all notice the opposite sex, and it happens at different ages for sure. Some of us go thru puberty at different ages and the results come out differently too. If you stop and think of that, well you may have the reasons for some of the people, who are strange or different who walk the planet, right?
As we know each sex, male and female have their own little secrets they don’t let out or they try to hide as long as possible. Everyone is a little different right, I mean, females don’t tell us men everything and vice versa, we tend to hide certain things we do, or act like we don’t know something when we really do to make the opposite sex feel more important to themselves.
Women tend to do this by asking the man around how to fix the door, the bathroom, the window or whatever breaks. Then they stand about and watch you do it, like they never did it themselves before and congratulate you on getting it done, but they just did it themselves the year before. What makes a man think a woman can’t change a tire, put in a new car battery, or fix a toilet for instance, a woman does!. She stands there all helpless looking, bats her eyes, and wiggles and jiggles until the man says ok I got it. Female secret weapons include, and are not limited to body parts, cleavage, curves, rear ends and smiles and big eyes or colorful ones. They get equipped at a young age and learn how to use their charms to get what they want done. Yet us men have found ways to avoid these womanly ways especially if you have been married a while.
Stop and think men and women, am I right or not, don’t you think we are stereo-typed into believing things we shouldn’t believe? For instance let’s discuss the Presidential Election for one. Remember 2008, Hillary vs. Obama, the fight to be President, what fun. It did prove that women have much more skill than they will ever admit and the Hillary Clinton is one hell of a woman and smart as a whip, didn’t it. She didn’t believe for one moment she couldn’t be President or that the Democrats wouldn’t give her the Nomination. She kept at it again and again, until, the numbers got to she and she had to admit defeat. I will tell you one thing, if Hillary Clinton had become the First Female President of the United States, we would have probably been a lot better off, today. Where ever you go, no matter where in the World, Hillary Rodham Clinton is admired, and loved and thought of as the brilliant woman she is, because she is aggressive when needed, she is laid back as needed, and in the end a producer of results. Not many men can say the same, and many tend to fumble along and think with the wrong heads, if you get my drift! Sad isn’t it, that a person so damn smart, logical and who had such fine solutions and ideas, got pushed aside, in a critical race that could have and would have changed the world and America forever!
Now when I talk differences between men and women, male and female, there is also a communication gap we like to believe in. That’s bullshit and actually a myth and story we humans use to hide behind. Do you really think a woman can’t use a tool or fix her own car? Just walk away once and come back, they will do one of two things, 1) learn to fix it on their own, or pay to have it done by a man. If they are broke they use their bodies to attract a man to get things done for them, things they know damn well they can and would do on their own, if they had to.
On the other hand we men are not stupid as women like to think we are either. We too play mind games and pretend to have hearing problems and more. It’s a matter of fact between men and women we have our different ways of handling life and each other.
We, men do the following and women get so pissed at us, it drives them crazy. We tend to act like we didn’t hear them when we did. We tend to not know something when we do, but choose to keep our mouths shut, because we know if we open it, wham, we will get the job and we really don’t want it. There are many little things; men won’t admit to knowing just as women do, the difference is men use our so called lack of knowledge, or abilities and the stupid act to get out of what we don’t want to do.
I will give you a for-instance; do you women really believe us men can’t cook or do laundry, I mean really. What the hell do you think we did before we met you, pay for it all to be done? Or dishes do you really think men don’t know how to clean a dish, glass, cup or pot or pan? If you do, go to your boyfriend’s apartment or home someday unexpectedly, if you think you will find him living in a mess, well, his momma would kill him if he did silly. Unless of course the guy is totally, and I mean totally lazy and useless, then you wouldn’t want us anyway would you ladies?
So when a husband walks around a store, going yes dear, whatever you want dear, yes you can have it dear, yes I know I can’t buy nothing, we don’t do it to look stupid, we do it so we don’t get nagged, beaten up or hear about it for weeks, or end up sexless or on the couch, and no other reason. Men usually have excuses they use before they get something done, one of our favorites is, when I get round to it! I used to use it a lot and it got me out of so many things I could put off and not bother with, like: Dear Paint The Bathroom, when I get round to it!. Then one day my wife got smart, I went to sit down and play video games and I found a piece of round paper on my seat. I picked it up, it said Round to It, get to work, laughing, it’s true she caught on.
Anyway the point is simple, we men aren’t as stupid as we act and you women aren’t as helpless as you make out to be either! It is indeed a world of little secrets for both sexes isn’t it! Hahahahahaha!

 

 

 

Happy Sunday All!/Thanks/Red Sox


       Well, ten days after my surgery for Lung Cancer I did get to Red Sox’s Fenway Park for the first time in my life. I sat on the first base line and watched my favorite team beat it’s hated rivals the Yankees 5 to 1. Was the best day of my life with my Wife, sister and her man Arman!  Arman bought me a Red Sox Shirt which I will treasure forever! I want to Thank my Sister and Arman Rivard for the biggest treat of my adult life and a great day at Fenway Park! I was indeed exhausted when I got home folks, and passed out smiling in my chair!

I want to say Thanks you to the Red Sox Nation and it’s Ambassador who called me on the Friday before the game, I was shocked and honored to hear from them! I love The Red Sox, Fenway Park, Boston and LIfe, Thanks all!

Fenway Park is the Most Authentic  and  Realistic and comfy down home Park in major League Baseball!
