A little something called....best movie ever!

1996.........man I wish I could go back in time. I was younger and thinner. The good ole days.. See this movie regardless of anything that prevents you from seeing it. Even if you are not a Billy Bob Thorton fan. - kinda of a weird guy. Hey, aren't we all?

He wrote and directed..................SLING BLADE. The movie is amazing. It really blows my mind. I don't know why, one of my favorite parts is when he orders french fried potatoes at the Frosty Cream after he gets out of the nervous hospital. Poor Karl asks for biscuits first. But the guy taking the order is classic...... who is this actor?- He should have been awarded some kind of Hollywood award.

Anyway, it is a story of a complex man and his bid to survive in the real world.

alright then.

The pressure of Valentimes Day

I am like a pressure cooker about to explode. BOOM! I will tell y'all why. Yesterday at work... I get hounded.... what are you doing for Valentines... etc....... blah blah blah. I kept saying it was private. Sounds sexy. uhhhh no. I was keeping it under wraps. But, anyway. I just told people to leave me alone. So, guys fall under tremendous pressure to be the MAN. So, made a card with some color paper and The unknown poet wrote a poem for my wife. AWWWWW. The chocolate factory is the bomb too. Anyway, I have figured it out. Boys, better make the mrs. happy on this day and all things will be good.

This one is for my homie A.K. It's never too late. HA HA

PS about the title, Valentimes (hillbilly pronounciation)

I lothe the UNC Tarheels

Hate is such a strong word. So, I decided to go w/ lothe. It's fun to say. LOTHE...
My team, the much hated DUKE BLUE DEVILS played the UNC Tarheels.
UNC 79
DUKE 73

CRAP! This game kills me, because it's three losses in a row and it was at home. If you have never watched a game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, which holds a little over 9,000 fans, then you gotta see it.
If not, be a Tarheel fan, like everyone else.

I shall get revenge on all those who make fun of me when DUKE loses.

I wish I was a Cameron Crazy.

Good and Bad Sports

Well, another Super Duper Bowl has come and went and all of Tennessee is happy for Peyton Manning. Colts fan?... Sorry, I can't be one. Congrats to Peyton and all... but I can't wait until all the stuff in our paper about him goes away. So anyway, the point I want to make is, there are good weekends in sports and bad ones. I had a bad one this weekend. ALL WEEKEND LONG. At least one loss was expected.. maybe two... but not all three. No siree BOB. Who is BOB anyway?
UT lost to Florida (who is #1 in the nation)
Duke lost to Florida St (what is it about dang the state of Florida)
Chicago lost to Indianapolis (didn't really care about that one)

So, I have to swallow my pride and stick up for myself. When you pull for certain teams and they get their buttocks handed to them. Welcome to Hades.

Keep it real, even when it goes wrong.

What did I want to blog?

This is truly a sign of getting old. Forgetting what I wanted to say................... Oh well. Oh, I remember. The weather out here is kinda funny. One day 70 degrees, next day snow, ice. TURMOIL. It is so funny to know that milk and bread are our lifeline to survive anything that requires staying home. I actually HAD to go to the store last night (due to getting paid in full) and get... you guessed it BEER! No, really. BEER. Ok for real. Milk and bread... other stuff too. But there were slim pickens on the milk. EVERYBODY NEEDED MILK. The weatherman scared us with some snow and we got a dusting. Not blaming him... just Knoxville's geographic location. So, let it snow, let is snow. Whenever. However much. I just need my milk and bread.
