So it is a sad time of year.  The college football season has ended and I (as most Sooner fans) am glad it is over.  Alabama won the national championship over Texas (thank goodness).  That is the last thing the Sooners needed was another kick in the balls after this season of…of…of…I can’t think of a good adjective to name this season but it was horrendous.  Two All-Americans, including a Heisman Trophy winner, were injured before the season really even started.  Losing Gresham and Bradford was the worst thing for this team.  Of course you could rack up Bradfords’ injury to the sucky ass offensive line.  But injury after injury after injury (I think OU set a record for hurt players in a season), players playing at multiple positions (which has been done in the same season, but in the same game?), numerous losses suffered by 3 points or less, our field goal kickers not hitting the ocean 10 feet away, DeMarco Murray playing his usual sucky self (get the ball, run into blockers, fall down, repeat.), Landry Jones finding himself (didn’t do that bad of a job and still has a lot of work to do, but most fans expect him to live up to Bradford and OU may not see another Bradford for years), a year of a great defense wasted because of the lack of offense, and yet still finding a way to continue the winning streak at home.  One bright note is that the Sooners finally won a bowl game, even though it was the Sun Bowl.  There were some bright spots with some freshman showing what they can do in the bowl game.  I hope 2010 comes soon and is better than 2009.

Also, does anyone remember a certain ESPN analyst predicting a certain Catholic school to win the National Championship?  I do.  I have the video from the beginning of the year where he, Lou Holtz that is, stated that the Fighting Irish could go undefeated and be playing for a National Championship.  Instead they barely became bowl eligible with a 6-6 record, only to turn down the invitation to the bowl game, and to lose their 4th head coach in the past 10 years.  All of them having about the same records. What does Notre Dame want, 5 star players to always be knocking at their door along with the Bob Stoops and Nick Sabans of the world begging to be their coach?  I mean, come on.  Notre Dame is not a great head coaching job anymore.  And besides that, what recruit wants to keep up with their rules and requirements for a strict catholic school when they can go to a smaller (not to mention cheaper) school such as Utah, TCU, etc. and get as much, if not more exposure.  I mean, yeah, when Rudy was made in the 70′s and 80′s Notre Dame was one of the best places to be, but as we all saw, Rudy struggled with his grades to even become eligible to attend the school, much less be a part of the football team.  I am not saying that all athletes are idiots and “don’t need no skoolin so dont ax me,” but the ones that are good at school and football are few and far between.  Gerald McCoy for OU is one of those, graduating in 3 years and is skipping his senior year to enter the NFL.

In other news, I have decided to drop out of school.  I hope I am not hurting myself for the long run, but I think it is the right thing to do at this point.  I’m behind on my Capitol City work at this point in time and this will allow me to catch up.  I’m hoping to focus on Capitol City more.  I hope to be able to attract more clients allowing me to be able to support myself and bring more love to Capitol City Studios.

Anyways, I am going to try and set aside a couple of days a week, at least, to update my site.  Obviously the more I update, the more random the topics (instead of just sports) too.  So, I’m excited to take on this task and hopefully have more people ride my rants and raves.

Up next will be a review of Sherlock Holmes and Avatar.  Peace.

Then there’s the great atmosphere that comes with winter.  People are in more of a giving and thankful mood.   Some are stressed about everything, but they tend to calm down eventually.  One of my favorite traditions were having three Christmases in one day.  We would open up gifts in the morning at home, eat some breakfast and watch TV.  At noon we would go to my Grandma’s house with my dad’s side of the family and for dinner we would go to my Granny and Papa’s house for my mom’s side of the family.  It was a blast as a kid.  How could you not beat three different times of opening up presents?  These days are a bit different due some passing of some grandparents and others living out of state, but it’s still fun.  Another tradition is sitting by the fireplace while watching one of the greatest Christmas movies ever, Christmas Vacation

and even Elf is great too.

How can you beat Clark Griswold and his family’s antics along with Elf and his ginormous toilets?  Fawesome!

My birthday is 4 days before Christmas and that is cool and it makes this time of year even better, even though some people like to give me Christmas/Birthday gifts (which is not cool).  But what is even better is Christs’ birth.  I know some people love Easter, because Christ died that weekend for all our sins.  I totally understand (wow, I’m talking like my 15 yr old sister) why people love Easter, but to me without Christ’s birth none of it would be possible.  All the cool stories leading up to Jesus’ birth makes it an amazing story.  From Joseph taking Mary as his wife even though he could have sent her away to the Shepherds being told of the news by an angel and following the star to the humbleness of being born in a manger.  It is just amazing story.  

I hope that all of you have a great Christmas holiday with your friends and family.  Enjoy.

[Edit] Well, I have figured something out…for now.  A quick fix.  I basically started another wordpress blog and imported my posts and stuff, but the last time I backed up my blog was in March, so I have lost 6 months of posts.  It blows, but it’s better than nothing.  Hopefully, I will be able to update the links and pages soon and maybe even the posts from the last 6 months.  [End Edit]

Anyways, I was eating this past week in the break room at work and I've always noticed a bulletin board that has advertisements, sales, etc from the employees of the casino that they put up. But never paid much attention to it, until I thought I would see if there was anything interesting on it. And something did catch my eye, check this out from a learning center. Well, if you didn't catch anything or everything, let me help you out. So yeah, I'm not sure if I want to send my kids to a place that can't even spell correctly. I mean, Microsoft Word caught all of the mistakes, if it did not already correct it on its own. If you don't know how to make a flyer without using spell check or even proof reading it, then you probably shouldn't be into teaching children. Thought you all might like that.

FYI: If my site looks jacked up to you or if it looks fine, let me know.  I updated to the newest version of WordPress and I'm not completely sure everything is good to go.  Thanks [Edit: Yeah, I know my links to my other pages (ie. about, pics, etc) don't work.  Still trying to fix.]

Do it!!!!!

As we were descending into the Ft. Walton Beach area, all I could see were trees and more trees. I couldn’t see any flatland and started to wonder if we going to crashland in a forest for the hell of it. I did finally see the runway and we landed. Then drove down another connecting runway to the Okaloosa Regional Airport. I was wondering where in the world the terminal was, cause I saw some small hangars, but nothing until we pulled up to it. The link above shows how big this place is. It’s so big, you could fit 20+ of these into the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport. And for the first time ever, I walked off a plane on stairs, not a hallway leading me to the terminal. When I flew back I found out even more. The suggested arriving time before your flight is 30 minutes, it has 6 terminals (A1-3 on the first floor facing east and B1-3 on the second floor facing west. Here are some pics of inside the terminal and I found an aerial pic of the terminal and here’s a pic from the plane of the whole airport that I took.

I got to see a lot of beaches while I was down there, but unfortunately I was only able to get in only once and most people would have questioned me getting in that day. It was about 60 degrees and the wind was blowing about 15mph, so it was quite a brisk experience, but as I told my friends down in Florida; “I’m not coming to the beach and not getting in.” I did and here are some pics of that day. One of the pics shows me about 100 ft in the ocean and I’m standing on a sand bar and the water is about ankle deep there. Also, I told you that I bought and underwater camera and because it was so cold, it took me about 3 minutes to takes 27 pictures. So some pics may not look the best. I stayed in for about an hour and besides becoming a girl and having nipples so hard they could cut glass, I thought I was getting used to the water, but that wasn’t the case. I was actually becoming numb because of the coldness.

Besides from getting to see a lot of beaches, I got to see a lot of cool sunsets. They took me to some state parks and springs too. Their original plan was to let me see Morrison Springs in which the water was clear and there was a large hole in the middle where you could watch divers dive into and they disappear it’s so deep. But it turned out that they were doing construction on it, so we went to Ponce DeLeon Springs close by. Here of some pics of there and also Eden State Park.

Obviously, since it was my first time to Florida we went to random tourist and surf shops to pick up things like shirts and shotglasses. Well, this one place had some cool looking mannequins in the window so I took some pictures in front of them. I am calling them Zach’s Mannequins. (Pay attention to the details.) Yeah, quite hilarious the attention and detail put into the making of mannequins. Anyways, here are the last of my pics. They are random stuff from scenery, beaches, me, my friends and I, and where they meet for church. They meet at Vallarta De Noche, a Mexican bar and grill in Freeport, Fl. They average about 15-20 people every Sunday and they have a lot of good ideas. Check them out at WowChurch. Hope you enjoyed it, I do have lots of video to show you, but I have yet to edit it. So it’s going to be a little longer for that.

So, I was driving home last week and come to a long line of cars wondering what the heck is going on. And being in Oklahoma, I figured it was some redneck farmer driving a tractor on the road when they could drive on the shoulder with no problem, but for some reason they think that they deserve part of the road too. But once I came over a hill, it wasn’t a tractor but a house being moved. That’s right, a house. Not a trailor house that only takes up half of the road, but a full size house that took up the whole road; with two full shoulders and all. I followed this thing into town and while it was dodging electric lines and parked cars, I went down the side streets which totaled about 5 block and 5 stop signs to pass it. Only in Oklahoma.

So, I finally got my refund in from the state and federal and I usually like to buy myself something just cause. Something I have wanted in the past and could never afford or just something I want. In the past it has been full seasons of TV shows or an XBOX, a digital camera or something. And this year, I bought myself an iPhone. Yeah, I know that I originally blasted it, but after a year of improvements, especially in memory I decided to get one. And it is awesome!!! I’ve only had it a week and I’m still learning stuff. It’s easy to forget that most of the stuff you need to do can be done on an iPhone, such as notes to write down, directions, weather, internet. So yeah.

Well, I’m making my first trip of 2008 to Florida. My friend Rocky moved there after he finished seminary to help start a church with his cousin,WowChurch. And he’s been asking me to come down and check it out for a while and I now have some time and money to go. So I leave next week. It should be a great vacation. He’s near the beach and this will be my first time to Florida or even that area. I’m excited.

So anyways, I’m going to leave you with this. It’s off of the deleted scenes from “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”.“Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”. This scene is Cal Noughton Jr. talking to Ricky Bobby while he’s in a coma.

To the tune of Hush Little Baby:

Hush little coma
don’t say a word
Momma’s goin buy you
a mockingbird
And if you can’t shake
that coma now
Papa’s going to give you
a brand new plow
And if your coma
brain freezes up
I’m going to give you
a punch in the nuts
And if that punch in the nuts
don’t stir ya
I’m going to grab you by the hair
and….do something else.
