sayin goodbye...

        were movin out...

             i knew this day was coming but i fought it to the bitter end....    the place my dale jr-esque roomate and i have called home for a year and a month is quickly becoming the past...

     just wanted to take a minute and say goodbye to the old girl...   i had alot of fun here in the past 13 months... suffered some heartache and more than once stumbled home through the red light just thinkin 200 yards and were good... just 200 yards...

lane turned out to be alot of fun and i can honestly say im gonna miss the ol boy... we had our trying moments but football season can do that to men on different sides of the line... but i did enjoy the fact that more than once hed laugh when i came home a lil drunk w a bag of krystals and head straight to the couch... course those roles were reversed many a time...

so as we head off in our different directions i wanna say goobye to my beloved 297....   you also were more fun than i thought youd be... and hopefully the next people that live here will enjoy the ol girl the way we did...

         i never thought id find it again but for 13 months i was home....

for tommy

    i was informed that yesterdays effort was weak....   ok.

         so its opening day or week or whatever you wanna call it for baseball...   the yankees again have a payroll that could afford them a small country like...   russia...     the braves made some moves in the off season trying to convince the atl fans that theyre not just out to make a dollar but to win a championship....   the bravo's could stand to make a run this season if youth comes through...
      things shouldnt differ much from what theyve been the last few years...   baseball seems to have just enough parity to make an argument that theyre doing things right while the rich just seem to get richer....
    my winners for the year...
          al red sox rays cleveland la angels...
nl phillies braves cubs dodgers
            alcs      rays over angels
nlcs    dodgers over phillies
   world series rays over dodgers    thats right i said it... the rays are winning it all....

masters...
   tigers back... so what... its augusta... hes always here... look for stewart cink to be hanging around the top ten on the weekend and maybe a late charge by paul casey who has been playing well as of late.... mickelson missed the cut last week in houston which let him get to the 30909 a little early... dont think this time was wasted... and keep your eyes open for fred couples and greg norman, they also will be back in the field.... tuesday should deliver the weeks usual cold snap but things should be a bit warmer by the time the cameras turn torwards wednesdays par 3..... you might wanna bring an extra umbrella if you make the trip on friday as theyre callin for scattered showers but i find really the best place to watch the tournament is behind a big plate of cheese fries in front a flat screen...    no umbrella required....        i have no idea whos gonna win this year but if the wind keeps up i think it might take someone fearless like anthony kim....   course theres always a certain cablanasian....

      college football
    the vols
       the vols have opened spring parctice as many schools have and from the sound of things the offense looks better.... after pushing the vols into a top ten nationally ranked recruiting class highly touted recruits david oku and bryce brown havent seen the field yet but word has it that the offense has gashed what was one of last seasons top ranked defenses....   the orange white game is scheduled for april 18 and will probably end up on css tape delayed schedule...

     the dawgs
    richts boys posted another stellar recruiting season with two elite eleven qb prospects and playmakers on both sides of the ball... the spring game is slated for an espn broadcast this saturday at 1pm... uga has big shoes to fill with the departure of sure to be first rounders stafford and moreno.... senior joe cox is the probable starter under center but look for freshman aaron murray to get some snaps and dont forget last years mr all everywhere blake barnes...

   south carolina
ha... yeah right...

      so thats all for now...
                you happy t-cat??

is this augusta?

     so i was gone again this weekend if you didnt notice....   and judging by the the shortage of phone calls... ya didnt... its okay...
ive been a lil under the radar lately... i understand...

     spent a few days under the covers last week contemplating the slow death that seemed to be creeping into my veins.... but just when all seemed to be lost our fearless joe d. fought his way back to the usual level of semi-decent health... not sure really what was wrong with me...   witnesses are saying it was the flu....

    played the "Golf Club of South Ga" this weekend in tifton... didnt play well... at all...   all day...   and i climbed off a bridge and into a creek because of a titleist that seemed to be mocking me... that also didnt turn out well...    but i got a nickname and a quote of the week...

       so because of the creek debacle i end up playing a few holes barefoot yesterday and was quickly dubbed shoeless joe....   so im fixing to tee off on number 16 staring straight into the sunset when i hear nathan and yale behind me...
         nathan "is this heaven?"
          yale   "no, its tifton."

   oh yeah... sunday before masters...
         no driving for me this year...   back on the party circuit... yall look for me....

ramblings and things that glitter

its weird the things that bother you through the day...
       im somewhere between greensboro and washington ga this afternoon when i heard dan seals died...   now a lot of you wont have a damn clue who dan seals is but he was a singer that was semi popular in the late 80's...   it just made think of some stuff that always comes up with his songs...

      is it like this for everybody...    ive always been near a radio in my life so i associate a lot of memories with music... just always has been my way...

could have just been the lack of cell phone service and the empty rainy road that made me a little sad at the news.

   either way ill always think of highway 44 or i-77 and a snowy january now when somebody mentions dan seals....

so everybody knows my long lost ties to the volunteer state...    and its now goin on 18 months since i walked the hallowed hills of my fore fathers and i sure could use a long ride on the chapman highway and catch the view of the stadium crossing over hainey st bridge...    these ol 65 hour weeks aint as fun as they used to be...   defdinitely feelin the i-40 blues...

         finally got to ride under the lights and sirens tuesday.... very cool...
          im movin again....
             my brackets busted....

             quote of the week
       "there's a light switch under that squirrels ass if you cant see what youre doin"

what the fuck....

     yeah i said it...

   what the fuck?
you struggle and you fight and youre makin headway and then somebody calls with news that kicks you in the balls like bob fuckin sagets doin a highlight reel of your day....

   so what the fuck...

this isnt even about me anymore... this is about somebody close to me fightin for another day... in and out of hospitals with all kinda complications and strugglin and comin out of it and showin the heart we all know theyve got and now this bullshit...

so heres to life and its twists and turns...   how it shows you exactly what you want then shoves you ass out into a hospital gown....    i give you this statement for fate and life and destiny....            fuck you

   fuck you for stealing the strength from those whove come before us...   for the man who looks into the eyes of himself and wonders why women now hold the door open for him and why he has to get up in the morning just to sit down the rest of the day....

      to the rest of you...   fight and scratch for every second youve got because time is the one thing we cant fight... we're all on borrowed time i guess... ive got a watch my dad give me...   it wasnt set for about 6 months...   it just ran like normal never once being the right time...   people used to ask me why that was... id tell em i like the watch... love my dad... have no use for time... i still dont...

     what the fuck...

long long ago on a saturday night far far away.....

     what woulda happened if?       you ever play that game... its probably something better left on the side of the road like an old hat that blew off somebodys head...   but sometimes you just cant keep it out of your mind...   its not as hard to ignore when youre busy but when you find yourself alone on the road over a thousand miles a week your mind starts to wander...

    lifes not too bad right now...   just sometimes you wonder where youd be if youd said yes to this person and no to someone else... if youd taken a different job...   or if you hadnt gotten drunk and slid through a SLOW sign, two ski instructors and one of those orange plastic divider fences... actually that one was entirely worth it...

sometimes the phone rings and its 2001 calling... just kinda shakes your reality...    then the age old question always comes up... would you go back and change anything if you could...

i can honestly say... i have no idea... i couldve been married by now... at least once... but how would life have been for me maried... and honestly how would i have taken being divorced... cuz i honestly think if ida been married it prob wouldnt have worked... which is prob why im single...

i dont regret any of it... nah thats bullshit... there was a 3 year period from like 2001-2003 that i was a dumbass and shouldve cut bait and ran from somebody and shouldve spent more time with others...    screw it i guess...     the only thing i hate is that there was a time back then that i was really tight with a bunch of folks i dont talk to much anymore...   thats really what this whole thing was about...

        to my old crew...   i miss yall...   you probably wouldnt even recognize me now...   im on time to work every day and im not out every weekend like i used to be.... but i can still pull the old me out every now and then... thats when i miss yall most... hope yall are doin well and still remember how much fun we used to have...

thats all i got for now....

    also recieving votes...
      the eagles greatest hits...   overheating chrysler seabrings.. doctored cherry lime aides... 2001 mens ncaa championship game... i kinda like kentucky cuz of their colors... "awwe sad times"... community---..... "im sorry officer...   i swear it'll never happen again"
and of course....

   "i have no recollection of the alleged incidents of which you speak" .....

things i hate

    u heard the good stuff...

             onto the rest....

           long work days....   oppressive heat...    bad news at a worse time...   the way the next two weeks are gonna drag out before i can ditch this hole...   mysteriously losing the ability to hit my driver in the middle of a round....    irish music...   shaving...   when my phone doesnt ring when i really need it to...   the times im hopin my roomates here and hes not....   how i can see the right decision and say it fuck it and go the other direction so easily...   (i kinda like that too though....)    knowing too much...
    you know what....    fuck it...
           im still my fathers son....
            remember this...   no matter what gets at you...   work family love money....   all that really matters is you hold your head up and swing from your heels and make em remeber u never backed down....
     i said a long time ago sometimes i get down and apologetic and i try to tell folks who ive done wrong how im sorry and then i said this...     "everything comes back around to normal and i can tell the whole fuckin world to stick it"     so for once in my life im gonna take my advice....
                  stick it....

another saturday night....

         i didnt set out to be this way....   at least i dont think i did...

liquor is like romance....   at first its really great and then it makes your head hurt and then it makes you sick....   then you forget how bad it was... you start to miss it and then the cycle starts all over....

       golf...   college football... and summer time are all like this as well...

      speaking of college football...   lets throw some bowl games in here...

       uga- mich st....     the dogs have to play better run defense against state than they did against tech...   but if the dawgs realize quickly javon ringer is the only option for mich st they shouldnt have to many persian like problems with the spartans....

       carolina-iowa....    if youre interested in this game....   im sorry...   carolina sucks... they always have... they always will... and if youre an iowa fan.... iowa?? really?   these are the type of people who are fascinated with the designs on blank computer paper and enjoy the taste of stamps....

      lsu-ga tech...   tech wins this one for two reasons...   they can control the game on offense...   and eventually lsu WILL have to use a qb....

      penn st-usc....     usc is great but not as good everybody thinks... on the other hand their defense alone will be too much for the state college alums....    congrats to head corpse joe paterno on getting psu all the way to pasadena and thankfully the plane ride coming back from west to east should catch a jet stream and not take as long...

      texas tech- ole miss....    the rebels are gonna get drilled.... plain and simple...   poor ole miss may lose by 30

      utah-alabama....      bamas too much for em....   regardless of that i say     GO UTES

       texas-ohio st....     not gonna be a good year for the big ten in bowl games...   ohio st could play 8 qtrs to texas's 4 and still not score enough to beat UT-west....   on the other hand todd boeckman will not be the first guy to lose 3 national title games...   so hes got that goin for him.... which is nice...

      oklahoma-florida..... who knows.... this is like a mirror game... both coaches in relentless pusuit of points.... both qbs with a heisman... both schools with unusually obnoxious traditions....    the only problem is florida will occasionally play defense.... i think this wins em a title...
gators by 5....

   so theres that...
also receiving votes...

those werent pennies from heaven...    liquor and guns??   ok im sold...    i dont miss shaving...    calvin and hobbes....    lets take every tradition thats worked for three decades, scrap em all and try somethin else...   the old somewhere...      pointe souths slipping food services...

           best overheard quote was actually two lines...

        "do you think this is a good idea?" guy 1    guy 2 "probably not, but does it really matter?"
