A kid weekend....

This weekend was a kids weekend for the Billster.
Here they are on my Stoop, My Boy is wearing his Earnest Graham Bucs Jersey all proud like, because the BUCS WON TODAY. WooHooo!!!


Here they are in front of the Cracker Barrel. This is the general drop off point where I meet their mother for the Child Exchange. It is Mile Marker 79 on I/75. It works out well for me because it is only about a 45 minute drive from my apartment. It works out well for the Ex, because Her Boyfriend lives somewhere near this place.




This is a picture of my kids and the "RISK" board. after four games they finally took me down. They colluded to not attack each other and ONLY attack their dad. They did that before, but this time neither of them got very sentimental about owning Madagascar to break their treaty. They wore me out and were so proud in kicking my butt.



Think of the picture below as if I was a deer with some big old ass antlers and they were Deer Hunters that had just shot me. They are posing over their kill, and the Kill was me! (getting beat at Risk by my children) It was both a sad thing and a happy thing for me, at the same time. Pissed because of the negative mark on my "risk" playing abilities, and positive because they worked together and kicked my butt and they are my kids.

World Domination it was and my daughter ended up being the winner, going on to take my son down later...

The bifurcated life

Ultimately, everyone is just trying to live a life that is fulfilling, and interesting and has some meaning.
-
Some people do it better than others.
-

People that think about it, constantly judge themselves.

-

Ultimately I believe it comes down to comparison for everyone. Why did I end up the way I have ended up? Not that I think I am at the end, but at this point in my life, why is it still so hard for me? At this point I expected to have much more, both financially and emotionally.

-

I basically do okay in life, but metaphorically speaking, the deal is that I throw the football way to much.

-

I live my life like the run and shoot. It's an impressive offense and all, but it leaves your defense on the damn field to much, and besides, it is totally susceptible to the interception. Sure I need to run the football more than I do, but I just can't help myself and feel like throwing the ball is the way to go.

-

My life is basically pretty good, but the highs are not as good as the lows are bad. If, and again, metaphorically speaking, I ran the ball more, I may not have the ups of the 75 yard touchdown pass but maybe the lows of getting life run down the gullet would not be as painful either.

-

I hate that I let my life get so bifurcated. I hate that it is such a dichotomy.

-

Still I continue to line up in the shotgun with the no back set and five wide.

Poor fantasy football management

So I have Josh Brown on my Fantasy football team and he did this today:
-
Of course I had him on the bench because, Come on, he plays for the ST LOUIS Rams.
Just poor player management on my part. - Doesn't matter though because I won anyways but still...

A beautiful Saturday for College Freaking Football!

FIRED UP RIGHT NOW !! ---
-
Damn if College Football Saturdays aren't the best 13 or so Saturdays of all the 52 Saturdays you get in a year.
-
This PARTICULAR Saturday is just a little bit different. This is the Saturday that Florida Plays Georgia. Herschel Walker doesn't play there anymore so I feel like the mighty Gators have a chance. Okay, Honestly, I believe this is the week they hold on to the football and execute the way we all know they can and Tebow not only gets his 50th but also his 51st rushing TD of his career, along with throwing a few for good measure.
-
THIS Saturday is running a deep route, breaking wide open down the middle on a perfectly beautiful Fall day.
-
This is such a beautiful Saturday that they are going to give us an EXTRA HOUR. (technically that won't happen till Sunday but its at the point where Saturday night is bleeding into Sunday.)
-
Gonna have some fun today!

A moral victory of sorts

I was a part of what you might consider a "moral" victory tonight. We lost 12 to 11 in softball, but we were ahead during the game at various times. It was back and forth throughout, but in the end we came up short. This was the same team that drilled us in the first game of the season 16 to 2. This was the team that had not been behind in any game they have played all season. This was the undefeated team in our league and unfortunateley they remain undefeated.

-

We were playing to win, unlike Tennessee when they came into Gainesville and just played to stay respectable. We hope to get another shot at those guys in the playoffs at the end, and maybe if we can keep it together we can pull off the upset. Moral victories are still losses but the coulda woulda shoulda's are just much more poignant in something like this.

Biggest loser is HARSH

The biggest loser is harsh -- can't believe they sent Abby home, even though she basically made the case that it should be her that goes this week. The woman went through some real shit in her life. She lost her husband and two kids in an automobile accident. She wasn't with them, when a guy going 100 miles an hour crashed into their van. She lost her infant, and her 5 year old, and her husband.

-

Now she got herself voted off "The Biggest Loser" t.v. show. If she hadn't thrown herself on the sword I am pretty positive it would have been someone else that got run out of there. I Bet the producers were not happy with that development as she came across the T.V. as an excellent person that is just trying to deal with the curve balls that life throws at her, just like everyone else does. Except she did not just get curve balls, life was throwing heat at her ear hole.

Obama and the Percy Harvin Jersey

It says Obama, but it's Percy's old number and now its Janorice Jenkins'
-
Maybe Mr. Obama could fill in for Steve Addazio and mix in a pass play here and there with all those damn running plays. Its like 1970's Nebraska football that we have going on in Gainesville. Thank goodness that defense is STOUT.
-
That jersey is like those pants that those girls have in that one movie, you know the movie I am talking about? the one with the pants?

GO HUMAN BEINGS

Listening to Sports Talk Radio on my way home from work today and I was once again reminded of something I had previously observed.

-

The host of the show is a Hurricane Fan, Hurricane Alumni, and also an asshole. (You can be a Hurricane Fan and also Hurricane Alumni, and NOT be an asshole. I am not implying because you are a part of the first two, that you are automatically an asshole, just that this guy, who I will leave unnamed is one, an asshole that is) also his name is Mark Bednarzik (Okay I did not leave him unnamed afterall.)

-

Mark Bednarzik, Lane Kiffin and that Study that basically says you should ALWAYS go for it on 4th down can kiss my ass.

-

Back to the point though, which was me being reminded of something I had previously observed. which is this: "People that hate Tim Tebow can't help themselves but actually still LIKE Tim Tebow." He is that good of a human being. GO HUMAN BEINGS.

Side note on Mark Bednarzik. There are three Radio Stations that I am aware of that do Sports Talk in the Tampa Market. 620, 1010, and 1040, all of which are on the AM dial. I have listened to all 3 at varying times on my ride home from work. Mark Bednarzik is absolutely the Best in that time slot. I never call in because I disagree with him so much and he owns the controls on the situation, but as much as I disagree with MOST of his opinions on sports and think that he is a negative nelly, I still listen to him instead of those other two stations because although he is an Asshole, he is the good kind of asshole.
