And that is a Wrap!

With the RSL Season ending in a loss to the Red Bulls at the Western Conference finals, one was to wonder what if. What would have happened if RSL didnt have 4 shots ping off the goal posts? They would be playing Columbus.

All n All it was a good game to watch. The best part was I had the oppurtunity to sit next to Marcelo Balboa and help with stats. It was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.

Another DAMN Bailout!!!

I am interested to see which industry will be next to beg the government for money. Airlines, Transportation, Healhcare....... It seems like its turning out to be Corporate Welfare at its finest. How the hell can the executives of the financial and automaker industries beg for money to keep their businesses aflost when they are receiving millions in compensation and perks??? Its just like the lazy asses that dont need welfare, but want to live the comfortable live so they learn how to play the system. Yet, its the hardworking people that are honset and pay their taxes that have to pay for this stupidity. Maybe if the executives took at paycut and were paid by the perfornace of their companies, they wouldnt need to be begging for the government to bail them out.

Not all Churches are Created Equally!!!

I thought that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir was the best church choir out there until I visited this church. Enjoy!!!

My Dear Sweet Boys

As Christmas is approaching, we got dragged out for our yearly picture taking trip.
We managed to get a few good poses from the boys. We are selling prints, all funds will go towards their trust funds.....kidding.

Time for a Change!!!

I was happy with the outcome of the recent election, not because Barry won, but how he did it. It was not easy to convience the American people that he was capable of taking on the task of President-Elect. Given how blacks have been treated over the years and the misconceptions some people have had. To be trusted as the First Black President of the United States of America, is an enormous feat to have accomplished.

I think it goes to show that we helping Dr. MLK Jr's sppech come true.

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

My Worse Nightmare!!!

Jordan recently had a huge birthday bash to celebrate 5 years on Earth. As family and friends showered him with gifts, one gift hit me hard. As Uncle Paddy presented a gift to Jordan, I watched in horror as Jordan opened his present. I was speechless, I wanted to puke. My wonderful, thoughtful Sister-In-Law bought Jordan a Lebron James #23 jersey. Yes, this is the same number made famous by his Airness-Michael Jordan.

As my son will learn and have to decide from good and evil, the tug-o-war begins. Who will convince Jordan what player's jersey he will want to wear? So far, Kristy has gained an edge....for now

Change is Good

My view on my 6th Floor perch during RSL soccer games has changed. With the recent move to RIO TINTO Stadium the Press Box is a mere 4 floors up, quite the change.
I think the new stadium is much better suited for soccer games. I am not sure the hassle and the hagling over public funds was worth it. Hopefully RSL and the Soccer haters (you know who you are) will be able to kiss and make up. The time will come with Utah will be the soccer Utopia of the West. Some day............

Its been that long???

Its been 6 years, since our sweet mom passed away. As i sat in the hospital that October night I would have never guess things would have played out like they did. I am very grateful for my family and friends who have stood by my side and helped me cope. My siblings have managed to grow and make mom proud.

Today, I took Jordan to the cemetary to give mom flowers. Jordan has never known mom, just through stories has learned what a great woman she is. So I was a bit taken back when he told me he wanted some time alone with Grandma. So he sat quietly by the headstone. then when he was ready to go, bent down and kissed the headstone and quietly waked a way.

Just one more thing to Love

I am not making this point to start a political debate, just pointing out a good fact about the Obama-Biden push to the White House. IMO....our President and VP should be educated people. Regardless of where they received their papers, I want to be comfortable knowing that they are educated and can manage the country. Given that current state of the economy, we need some!!

Obama-Harvard (J.D., Magna Cum Laude) Biden-Syracuse U. (J.D.) McCain-U.S. Naval Academy (Rank 894 out of 899) Palin-U of Idaho(B.A. Journalism.

Now I prefer to have someone who graduated at the top of their class rather than the bottom. Dont you? That right there shows the motivation and dedication they had.

WTH is up with BFF

was getting another reality show. If her singing career and show with that anorexic daughter of Lionel Richie wasn’t enough. Now we have to be bombarded with ads about her new show MY NEW BFF. C'mon.....Does a hotel heiress really need help finding friends or even BFFs. I am sure after the elections Sarah Palin will be in need of a new BFF.

WTF......She needs to focus her time and energy in making a different in the world. Save the trees, whales, Red-Footed Lemur. Someone of her caliber and wealth needs to put her money and time to good use. The last thing the viewing public wants to see is some blonde bimbo prancing around the TV screen. We need more quality TV shows.
