I can turn my tongue over to the right and to the left.
I hated to read when I was younger
I never drove a car before I had a learners permit
I prefer to wear skirts instead of pants or shorts.
I’m fierce when threatened
I attended thirteen different schools before I graduated High school.
I wish I were a brunette instead of a blonde
Bugs/spiders give me nightmares…screaming nightmares
Famous people don’t impress me
I would rather travel in my trailer, than a 5 star resort
Even though I think snow is romantic, I hate being cold
I learned to swim in the Pacific Ocean
I read only e-books… electronic format rules!

What the hell?
What the Hell?
I am not a huge sports nut or fan for that matter. I watch the Arizona Diamondbacks, and tennis (okay the Olympics too). A few years back when the basketball player…what’s his name…Charles Barkley! Yes. When Charles Barkley decided professional athletes didn’t have a responsibility to be good role models and people backed him, that was the downfall for me. True, sports figures shouldn’t be the ONLY role model, but like it or not, they are one of many that children emulate. (I can’t help but to wonder how CB feels about the commercial he has done where the young lady thinks he is the other guys dad; she has no idea who he is…LOL I love personally, he certainly got what he wanted, although I doubt he sees it that way.) sorry, I got off track..
SO…here is my issue. Why does a man like Curt Shilling have to say sorry for speaking his opinion about Barry Bonds not deserving to break Hank Aarons record? It is HIS OPINION! Next thing you know, he’s going to be apologizing because of what’s her name who has been sentenced to jail for 45 days for drinking and driving. That sentence was called a joke. What the hell is the matter here?
Shilling said he was sorry for making the comment because it didn’t only affect Barry Bonds, but his wife, his kids and his family. WHAT? I have HUGE doubts the words spoken by Curt Shilling had anymore affect on that family than say…BB cheating on his wife, his taxes, his team, the game, his family for that matter! WHY does CS have to say sorry? I really wish he hadn’t and had stood up for his right to have his opinion just as much as Barry thinks his right to break a record. You have a cheater, not only in the game but in life who has admitted to using performance enhancing drugs and is ready to break a record by a man who did it legitimately! If you ask me Barry Bonds shouldn’t even be playing the game let alone the opportunity to surpass an honestly earned record. So what if it’s too hard to determine what home runs were honest and which ones weren’t. Guess what? That isn’t our problem! It’s Barry’s problem. It’s his issue to live with for the rest of his life…hmmm….maybe if I hadn’t cheated, I could have broken that record ON MY OWN…but now I will never know and aint that a shame?! Do you think this thought has ever crossed his mind? I doubt it, and I also doubt I will EVER apologize for saying this!
And as for Paris Hilton trying to ask Governor Swarchenegger for a pardon??? Are you kidding me? She broke the law~ TWICE! She doesn’t deserve a pardon…she deserves to serve her sentence and if she doesn’t like it, well then guess what?! MAYBE SHE WON’T DO IT AGAIN!
When is society going to stand up and put a stop to excuses being made for bad behavior? THAT to me is the joke…and not a very funny one.
OH OH OH and while I am at it, what about the dude in Kentucky who refused to serve OJ Simpson in his restaurant? This guy owns like 3 restaurants. HA GOOD FOR HIM! He didn’t want to be associated with him in anyway shape or form. I am glad he stood up for what he believed! When he told OJ he wouldn’t serve him… OJ told him he would leave. The owner said that was the first time he has seen OJ show any class since the murder case. GUESS WHAT? The damn lawyers got involved and are saying the man refused service because OJ is black. What the hell? Am I to believe that this man has gotten away with kicking out every black person who has tried to eat in one of his three restaurants for years? Pfft…go sell stupid to someone else, I’m all stocked up! What the hell is the matter???
