Me and My Big Mouth

I seem to have gotten in trouble with my opinions, This was because I offered this opinion regarding Bands distracting teams during basketball free throw shooting.
  • Chris Walsh Bad Sportsmanship!!! The game should be won or lost on the Court. This is like making noise when someone is putting. I don't know how this sort of thing ever got started, but that should be a technical foul on the Buffs.
  • MS X  Noooo. This is college basketball with tradition. Traditionally, you don't make noise when putting. At a soccer match, should people quiet down when a player has a free kick? I think it's kids having a great time and the players expect this sort of thing. It's no fun for the athletes to play to a crowd who's quietly sitting. It's all in good fun.
  • Chris Walsh I strongly disagree. It is the same *%#! as when bands turn around during introductions. It is disrespectful, and I personally hate to see it. The only reason it is tradition is someone lowered the bar of sportsmanship and good taste and let it slide. I played for and in John Wooden's House. Think and embody class. You are never wrong if you hold yourself and your subordinates to a higher standard.
     
    People actually argued with this. I really don't think I am wrong. I think when people stand too close to a machine for too long, they don't hear it anymore.

I truly regret that my old gf(s) cannot be friends with me. As one of my therapists said once, my mind has a wonderful,"neurotic playground". I recall every unique thing about these two girls bodies. You can't go back, but I sure wish I could. No, going back wouldn't be it. It is a lateral move. I was dumb, but everyone had a lot of life to live. Sitting still wouldn't have worked and would have deprived everyone of victories and defeats. I will try to use one word for each GF.
1. Cherie - discovery
2. Lisa - trouble
3. Blennie - fantastic
4. BREAK
5. Cindy - waste

6. Sheree - ungrateful
7. BREAK
8. Darla- saved

There have been many who could have served well, Laura Riendeau, Amy Strellner & Robin Collins come to mind. All were different, but honorable. Others like Leslie were just wrong. She earns the title of Bitch.
Poor Jan Golden. I liked her but I didn't pass the Mean Girls exam. She got shot and killed by her husband. Guess I might have been a better choice. Janella  deserves a mention here, because even though  we weren't really a thing, she is one of the four girls who are now dead that I made out with. Leslie Adams completes that group.
Strange I find that when I was at my most physical perfection, twice, in HS as Fall Senior, and the Army, I had nothing. A couple of girls at parties. . .  And Tracy Richards, who WAS fun. Actually got through 6 months of Army to see her again.
This entry has been purely for my benefit. I lived through the 70's, 80's 90's  trying to get married. I succeeded in marrying someone who fucked my head up. I got to do that again.
I figure I have been using FB more than I should. Opinions, little things I personally find funny -- Observations on History, that have no place there. Today there is an important football game. I dislike NFL Football much as I dislike the NBA,and MLB. The NHL holds a different place due to a reverence for the skills of those men, but deep contempt for the strikes and ridiculous admission prices they have brought, ($65 for cheapest Kings seat). 4 teams play today: Denver and NE, SF and Seattle.
Who do I like since I don't care? Well I spent one full day in Denver. I have never been to NE, though my family is from there and my ancestors are buried in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Tom Brady has had a ridiculous string of girlfriends. Jealousy raises it's head. Denver was out and out weird. . . the people had that Phoenix gloss, but weighed in at at least 20 lbs more than AZers. I also liked the QB Mannings father, Archie, who played for the "Ain'ts" a long time ago. Since I had a shitty time in Denver, and would like to have been Tom Brady when he got to sleep with Bridget Moynahan, we will go with New England.
SF and Seattle: if you add San Antonio, we would have the 3 cities with the worst traffic I have ever experienced. Considering I have spent more days in San Francisco and have never had a good time in Seattle, SF gets the nod.
