Sneaking up on me

I'm going to play in the BCA tournament in Vegas and it's less than 3 weeks away. I'm usually counting down the days until Vegas but not this time. I need more time to practice and get into my groove. I was playing really well a few weeks ago but not so much now. I've haven't been playing as much as I would like to and when I do play it's league usually and I don't play jam up and really focus. I'm going to start playing tournaments every week as many as I can. I tend to really focus and play my best, like in the couple tournaments I played in Fort Collins and Denver a couple months ago. I've never played as strong as I did in those, I felt like I could play with anyone. And confidence is almost as important as shooting well. When I've got that combo going I feel like I could do some real great things in Vegas. With short races to 5 anything can happen. At the tourney in Denver I played at several weeks ago I broke and ran 7 of 16 racks I broke! So regardless of who I'm playing, if I'm stroking it that well I've got a good chance. I tend to really focus in tournaments, when I played in Vegas 2 years ago I played probably about as good as I ever had. I made the 1st round of the money so I was satisfied with my results that year. My goals this year will be to make it quite a bit further than that but I don't feel I can only be results oriented at this tournament. I could play the best 2 players in the tournament and lose and be out right away. So my main goal is to play the best I can and the rest will take care of itself. If I play great and lose then that's ok because I ran into someone better than me and I know there are many people out there better than me. I'm a much stronger player than I was 2 years ago so I'm very excited to kick ass and take names.

Letter to ESPN

I'm just starting to watch the Masters coverage on ESPN and I can't help but be annoyed by this super flaming faggot Mike Tirico. He's so fucking self-important like everyone wants to hear what he has to say. Well listen to what I have to say to you Tirico "No one cares what you have to say, I want to watch golf not you talking to some other queer in the Masters Cabin. I've got in on this channel to watch golf and not two dumbasses wearing a suit talking about how these players are going to handle this course. If you idiots would shut up and put the camera on the players we could see with our own eyes how these players are handling the course." I don't understand why or how these annoying pricks got this job but it's at the very least- borderline completely fucking useless. Here's how you televise this: show golf and every little while flash the leaderboard on the screen. I don't want to see some self-important schmuck being introspective or retrospective or any goddamn spective. Show me Tiger fucking Woods.

Sincerly Yours

Dog Anal Raping?????

You know how when you're talking to someone and you're pretty sure you know what they're going to say and then...SMACK!!!!!! I'm at the vet having my dog checked out for dragging her ass across the carpet. My wife did some research and found out it was the anal glands or anal sacks as they're sometimes referred to, I just recently found out. So I'm telling the Vet why I'm here and his response to her ass dragging is "oh thats from anal sex." And I'm like right...wait...what! He then explains to me what anal sacks are and his dog had to have them taken out and I really stopped listening once I was sure he wasn't accusing me of anal raping my dog. It's a basic part of conversing that I didn't adhere to. I talk and he listens and then he talks and I LISTEN. I'm not supposed to think about what I'm going to say or assume I know what he's going to say. Listen, and you won't be accused of dog anal raping. Pretty simple folks.

Common or NOT Common

Sense that is. After reading this story I'm not sure if it's common at all. Without getting into a whole thing about if this kid needed to have the shit whipped out of him or not, I'm fairly certain 2 grown men could have restrained this child without slapping him in the face or using a stun gun. I have little doubt that there will be a lawsuit, maybe deservedly, but what happened to the days when whomever was watching you had the right to beat your ass if the situation so called for it. It was a transfer of the iron fist. I guess the problem is that people have no common sense to gauge a situation and act accordingly. I would want my child to be disciplined accordingly to the behavior but I'm not sure I would trust a day care to make the decision to what is "accordingly." So while I miss the way things used to be when I was a kid or at least the way things were for me as a kid, it probably just doesn't make sense in todays world. So the question is...Do adult men with expert training in self-defense need to be told not to use a stun gun on a 94 pound child?
