debit

In control or out of it, doing the right thing should always be done, whether or not anyone will ever find out that you did or didn't do it. Every week, sometimes daily, a certain female keeps telling me what a liar I am. I'm not going to claim that I did the right thing and I'm not going to accept that I am a liar. As diligently as I have attempted to reject the wholesale acceptance of society's inertia, I realize that there are times when I have to simply accept something as being true, even though I can't prove it at the moment. I'm not perfect and I love goofing off, but I don't go through this world trying to deceive people. What is the right thing? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

45-42

It rained all night before "the Game." They asked and we wondered who would benefit the most from the rain. Their game was passing, our's running. They tried to say that we would benefit from the rain. I told that them that it would slow down the speed of our defensive ends, but I did believe that it would benefit our running game. It continued to rain off and on during the morning. Fortunately, it didn't turn cold. The rain began falling harder during the second quarter. Our hopes of winning for the first time in eight games began to fall as well. At halftime, we trailed 28-12. Our defense could not slow down their SEC leading quarterback. It didn't look good for the gold and white. To start the third quarter, their kicker kicked off out of bounds. We lined up at the 40 yard line and ran a toss sweep for 60 yards. That was how it began. We ruled the third quarter scoring 26 points and overcoming a 16-point defecit to enter the fourth quarter with a ten point lead.
We won by three, ended a seven game losing streak to our in-state rivals, and finished the season 9-3. We began the season ranked 80th in a Sports Illustrated preseason poll. Our in-state rival began the season ranked 1st. We entered the last game of the season with 16 of our 22 starters as freshmen or sophomores. We have the best coach in the nation.

"we had joy we had fun"

I'm a year older but not one lick smarter. Whew, what a crazy year it's been. Earlier this evening, I watched a Bio.com video on Henry Ford. It's interesting to think about how a certain mind at a certain point in time can influence civilization to such a huge extent. I guess what made me choose to watch something about Ford was the possible end of Ford Motor Company. Maybe in a few months, we'll drive (or crawl) to a Buddy Motor dealership to purchase a Buddy. "Everybody needs a Buddy." Of course, it's not even going to matter that gas is $.10 a gallon because no one's going to have any money. We're all going to be cooking squirrels in our backyards or growing potatoes.

richer and naked

Time is the mirror into which you stare. That's what Robert Penn Warren called it. Who the heck am I to disagree with such a brilliant human being? My spin on the whole can of oysters is that Time is a paradox. Time takes you to where you want to be while simultaneously taking you away from where you want to be. 2 1 3 will regulate Teens want to be older and twenty's want to be richer and thirty's don't know what they want and forties just want to get naked and fifties want to be younger and if you're extremely fortunate you'll consider yourself extremely fortunate to have someone you can love. How did suck become such a negative verb? It's just odd that the lines aren't longer for honey. Alas, people have things to do. Xboxing, playstationing, spouting off political persiflage, mowing, trimmin', designing tacky clothing and hats, photographing celebs, fudgin' about their age, fudgin' about their weight, and stranding shopping carts no where near the cart alley. Yeah, blogging too.
Count me extremely fortunately.
I love you, Gorgeous.

question

I thought about life and beauty
I thought about you and your eyes
I thought about land and water
I thought about rainbows and dreams
I thought about the sky and eternity
I thought about the question:
Will you marry me?

zing

Peace screams from the abandoned boulevards and desolate avenues, larynx bloody. The power to be human is stolen daily. The poor ignore themselves hourly. The rich kill themselves religiously. It's beyond sad and way past time to walk down another path. The economy is good and the harvest is high. There is no good reason to sink teeth into other than the irrational belief that bigger is better and decisions are best left to the institution. Stronger is better and strength requires a decision and hard work. Waving flags and slinging slogans are merely hand jobs for the fear in our hearts. Peace is strength. Stand up, dadgumit.

She makes my body zing, my mind ring, and my soul sing. By her side is where I want to be forever.
I love you, Gorgeous.
