wonder why

Now, i'm not some bible thumpin Christian or anything like that. Frack, I actually pondered at dinner tonight if turning to this new Gospel Channel on Sunday mornings could qualify as going to church. Jessica seemed cool to the idea. But with James Cameron touting that he has new info on Jesus, etc. that debunks the very foundation of the entire shootin match, i kinda wonder what would happen if someone came out with some sorta similar finding that debunks Islam, or Buddhism? think there would be rioting in the streets in Bagdad or Tehran and cries of "Death to the American infidel"? ... yet there hardly evena ripple when this stuff come out. Go figure....

Evidently, its a small world...

Soooo...... Al Sharpton is a descendant of a slave owned by relatives of Strom Thurmond. Hmmmm.... seems Thurmonds great-great something or anothers owned Sharpton's great great something or another. Wow... and of course, i am always amused to ponder about the fact that Thurmond was running around championing segregation, all the while having a concubine in his bed who just so happened to be black.... and fathered a child. tisk, tisk... I just find this sorta stuff amusing and, well... ironic. Where is that Alanis Morrisette MP3 when I need it?

continued random

So... Charlie Parker won an Oscar last night. Wow, i thought he died a few weeks ago when Luka shot him on ER. Scored pretty good with his wife though... out punted his coverage there. Its kinda funny that you can kinda know to not bother watching till about 11pm to see the important stuff....

Hilary and Osama

so..the snipin has begun. Fighting over donors...tthese two are going to pull a Mark Martin/Kyle Bush and be so preoccupied with each other they dont see HArvick (read, Edwards) pulling up fast in the outside line...

oh, yeah...hmmmmm....

So..Tom Brady is going to be a father. Ok... The mother is an actress (Bridget Moynahan) he isnt married too...Ok... oh, wait, they are not even dating anymore.Hmmmm. And all is fine. I wonder how people (read, the sports media and talking heads like Limbaugh and Combs) would react to this news if it was Michael Vick, or Donavan McNabb, or Vince Young? but its Tom Brady, so we dont have to spout the moral indignation line...

Dont get me wrong, I am not judging Tom Brady. Thats not my place. Someone mentioned to me one day a while back about glass houses or something like that so I am going to leave Mr. America be. I am judging the people who would be in an uproar if it was another type of person, and not the "Golden Boy".... And the Wonder boy is now dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who he conveniently starting dating immediately after he broke up with Moynahan...which was in December...which was 3 months ago.... and the report is that Moynahan is, what, no way... 3 months pregnant. Go figure?

FINALLY!!!!!

the #29 wins at Daytona. awesome.... and XM and Sirius are going to merge. of course, not like they suddenly will be all merged tomorrow or anything, but eventually Nascar, Baseball, etc will all be on one unit. Dude...that will be awesome... and i got to see some more of my prediction coming true on MSNBC a couple of nights ago as the pundits started to way in on whether or not Osama Bin Laden is black enough to run for President. I dont normally watch MSNBC, but Oberman is pretty funny and adds much needed humor to some things... I like that.

yipeee!!!!

Ok...Valentines day was cool. The twins got me a pit pass to the All Star race in May. pretty sweet, if you ask me....

watchin the 125's today on TV, listening to the team radios on the internet, watching the car telemetry online too... I might have to subscribe to the online thingy this year. You can actually watch a single car real time as it goes around the track....

a week passes

I swear i am not even realizin how past time is zootin past between posts... got to see Kristen last Thursday. She was nearby and we had an opportunity to do dinner and chat for a couple of hours...

Every once ina while, a song and its lyrics really hit home with me. While I know this is a re-do of a song, the version by Rascal Flatts seems so much better....


Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend and sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood
I'm not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Roads are rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye

There ain't no load that I can't hold
Roads are rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long

Ryles wasnt totaly sure about this snow stuff....

Ryles did make one sled run....

I-Man started to get the hang of things

I-Man showed no fear....

I-man and Ryles went to birthday party the other day....

by the way, I have an XBOX 360 that my mother dropped on me for xmas, and I can access the internet on it and actually connect to my pc at home and play video and music off it, etc. But I was wondering if anyone who reads this has an XBox 360 too... if so, drop me a message on Xbox live...my userid is cubari

Its goin to SNOW!!!

ok...snowed some this morning. Big deal... but Ryles and I-Man did get to go out and slide using their Bass Pro Shops snow slider/discs before it started pretty much raining. And I noticed that the creek run off was a kinda mustard orange color...I guess from the snow. kinda makes you think about what Ryles was eating when I asked her to not eat the snow this morning....
