My Bucket List..

Recently caught some of the movie..The Bucket List..which stars Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.  Two sensational actors.  I got to thinking..what would I like to do or know prior to me 'kickin the bucket'.  In no particular order..here are some things that I would like to do and/or know before that day.  I did this list of 10 at the top of my head..not a lot of pondering.  Share your quick 'bucket list' with me.

1. I want to know whether we are alone..meaning, is there life outside of planet earth.  I want to believe..
2. Bigfoot..fact or fiction?
3. I'd like to travel to Europe
4. Do a cruise with lots of friends and/or family
5. Want to experience a true ghostly encounter
6. I'd like to get sand between my toes while walking the Hawaiian beach
7. Watch all my kids get married and be apart of every grandchild's life..they need to know about my wisdom and humor!
8. Do stand-up comedy
9. Write a movie script or novel
10. Spend every day..from now to then..shedding a tear and having a laugh..that's living every day!

Holler back with your quick top 10..

Peace out my HALEYUNNS!

More Tiger Fallout..

The thirst quencher of champions has parted ways with Tiger.  Guess they didn't want the visual of Tiger coming up for air after one of his THANGS and immediately grabbing some Gatorade.  Even Tiger's robotic plea last week didn't keep Gatorade loyal to him.  To me..this is a huge severance to the Tiger Ties. 

I really think Tiger needs to take the entire year off.  It's the right thing to do so he can focus on his family..these actions would speak so much louder than words. 

Remember last week (or so) when the porn star claimed Tiger impregnated her twice. She says she miscarried one of the babies, aborted the other and never told him about either.  A DVD prostitute..with no proof..is still unimpeachable source on Tiger's sex life.

Maybe the answer is to walk away..retire.  Maybe..

This circus is really just getting started.  I don't expect to change any time soon. Tiger could fire Stevie Williams (caddie)..make Elin his caddie and keep her by his side at all times and the tabloid media will still publish the allegations of every moderately attractive woman looking for her 15 minutes.

Maybe..

50 Cent..down to a quarter's worth?

I came across this news (whatever) article about rapper 50 Cent being hit with a lawsuit from a woman who claims he edited her homemade sex tape and unlawfully distributed it over the Internet.  Are you serious?  Claim is that the woman's boyfriend sold or gave the tape to 50 Cent and he basically did a cut and paste with the boyfriend..incorporating his royal 'quarters' as the male porn star. 

I generally disregard this kind of news as nonsense.  But it never ceases to amaze me how stupidity continues to run wild in our society.  If indeed this is what happened..not only will he take the rap for this crime..he will again remind us how the 'celebrity' think their untouchable.  Supposedly you can find the video on the Internet..on YouTube (no, I haven't looked, nor will I).  This rapper reminds us that they can live a million dollar lifestyle..have a million dollar image..but a 'half-dollar' head.

Haiti?? Don't forget about HOME..

In the spirit of giving and helping others..I have to make a plea for "home".  The Haiti tragedy was just that..a tragedy.  We know the aftermath.  Lives lost.  Families separated.  Haitians in desperate need of help, assistance, adoption, love and care.  I sincerely hate it for them.  Of course..what followed was fund-raising, celebrity interaction, We are the World..version 2010.  Awareness to Haiti was unprecedented.  Now its time to remind you of "home"..

Keep in mind that we, the US, continue to struggle with our own problems.  There's poverty, orphans..all the pain and suffering that goes on throughout the world.  We have kids who need families..who need homes..who need big brother/big sisters..who need mentors..who need good intentions and a helping hand from the rest of us.  Instead of us trying to adopt kids from around the world..keep in mind of the kids at "home" who need us.

North Carolina Tarheels

Just wanted to share my thoughts on the UNC Tarheels men's basketball team.  They are the defending national champs.  However, this year's team absolutely sucks.  Yes, they lost a lot of talent from last year's championship team.  But, for godsake..they still have seven (7) McDonald AAs on this team.  There is no excuse except they are not a cohesive team.  The talent is obviously there..at least by what the experts rated those kids coming out of high school.  This is the worst team ever by Roy Williams.  When was the last time the defending national champs didn't make the following NCAA tourney?  Inquiring minds want to know..

"Adult" education..

I tend to wish everyday better than the previous day.  That includes experiencing an event that one ups the previous day.  This is my one up from the previous day. 

Setting..Churchill High School in Canada.  Scenario..pep rally that turns into exotic education. Generally my mindset is to never deny my kids education..but this one goes over the top.

During the pep rally..two teachers (female sitting in chair / male dancing over her) decide to spice up the rally with their version of 'dirty dancing'.  Hey..I can't deny it..i've been part of a lap dance..or two..or ten..whatever.  But to feel the need to similate the deed in front of high school kids blows me away.  This is one time where I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it.  You actually see the male teacher put his head in her crotch area.  Unbelievable.  However, if there were future strippers on the bleachers..then this would be a form of education/role modeling.  Whatever..

Seriously, these teachers should be suspended the rest of year..without pay...and seriously be subject to termination.  Hey..so they now have to rely on their night jobs..because they've just put their day jobs in jeopardy. 

The teachers are indeed suspended without pay pending the school/school district investigation.  Click on the TITLE and watch for yourself.

Pet Peevie of the Weekie..

If you live in Louisville..and travel on the Watterson Expressway (east or west) between the airport and Shelbyville Road..you will know what I'm about to say.  My latest PEEVE is regarding the idiots who put the white stripes between each lane on the expressway...THEY LANES ARE UNEVEN.  There is one lane that is literally 1.75 cars wide..3.50 smart car wide (yes, a slight exaggeration..but not by much). With that said..there is at least one lane that is slightly wider than a smart car.  I'm sure quality assurance was not part of the project road plan.  We probably ran out of the millions of dollars that got us to the point so the paint could dry.  We definitely need a do over.  If you drive the expressway and you know what I'm talking about..give me a HALEYEAH!

Ah...feel better.

Peace out my HALE'S ANGELS!

When a "SPORT" is truly not a "SPORT"

I have tried to watch the Olympics..really.  Try when I'm channel surfing.  Try when I'm laying in bed.  Even try having it on as a night light for my sleep world.  Just isn't happening.  However, last night I did see either some kind of figure skating highlight or event..and heard the dreaded word..SPORT.  I laughed..laughed again..then figured I had to get online to blog my thoughts.  Figure skating IS NOT a sport.  Gymnastics IS NOT a sport.  Boxing IS NOT a sport..unless someone is knocked out or can't continue.  Have you figured out my reason?  I can't label a competition a sporting event if the out come is determined by subjective JUDGING.  Sport is the ultimate physical competition..generally one on one, team versus team.  Sport usually has a winner and loser(s) based on 'physical success' over your opponent..that is determined by the individual themselves, not a judge.  With that said..the Olympics should be about sport, not exhibition or theatrics.  Hey CURLING stays..SKATING goes!

Love is for the birds / Birds are flyin' south / Seasons will change / No place to hide / I severed a wing / Learning to fly / Clouds are rollin' in / I think I'm gonna die / I severed a wing and I cannot fly / Maybe tomorrow the sun won't shine / What do I do if it starts to rain / What do I do about this pain / Out in the dark and I'm by myself / Winter is planning a big farewell / I dream of a time when I touched the sky / I severed a wing and I cannot fly / Sunday I ruled my life, made my plans / Made my own solutions / Sunday night fate arrived / Life has regarded me as pollution / Hard to find a friend / I need some company / I'm scared of the dark / The dark is scared of me / I'm scared of the dark and I'm by myself / Winter is planning a big farewell / I dream of a time when I touched the sky / I dream of a time in a former life / I severed a wing and I cannot fly / Maybe tomorrow the sun won't shine / What do I do if it starts to rain / What do I do about this pain

The Killer Hotdog..WTF?!?!?

Surfin' the news on the Internet is one way I get ideas for my blogs.  I ran across this headline on foxnews.com..and felt the need to read.  I read the first few paragraphs..and stopped.  I wanted to write my blog based on those few paragraphs..then go back and finish reading the story.  Here is my blog..

A four-year old Chicago kid choked to death on a hotdog.  His mother never thought the "popular" kid food could be so dangerous.  In no way am I downplaying the death of a child.  I have children.  I can't imagine a parent going through that kind of grief.  But we're talking about a hotdog.  I beg to ask the question..when are we going to be more accountable for our actions rather than passing them off onto others?  To me..its simple education..teaching our kids how to eat at a young age..as well as making sure food is prepared accordingly. 

What is a hotdog?  Processed meat..that basically requires little chewing.

When my kids were at a young age..my ex and I were quite aware on their eating habits as well as their eating abilities.  We knew how much to cut up their food prior to serving them.  Were there times that we had choking encounters?  Yes.  But we acted accordingly..and always looked at ourselves first before someone else.  We simply went back to our practice of preparing food accordingly.

Again, I didn't read the entire news story.  But I'm sensing a lawsuit in the near future..maybe. 

If my child puts food in their mouth with the intention to chew and swallow..but forgets to chew..who's issue is that?  That's on me..because I didn't do my part to educate my child on the dangers of not chewing.   Bottomline..there has to be some accountability from a parental perspective. 

Also, our kids attended daycare during the pre-school days.  One of the first things we asked the daycare was how they prepared their meals.  To our satisfaction..they prepared meals according to the child's eating ability. 

Regardless of my ranting..keep in mind your child's eating habits and act accordingly.  Now I'm going to finish reading the story.  If needed, I will post a comment to this blog in the event I'm way off base..

Tiger's Presser Reaction..

The more I watched the video..as replayed by every known station...including over 100 times on the ESPN networks..I have a different take on how he should have handled it.  Then I found this video of Steven A Smith's commentary..which I totally agree with.  Check out the video by clicking the TITLE. 

I think most of the media was playing it "politically correct".  Only a handful of media had the stones to speak their mind.  Steven A Smith did just that.  I think he has some really good points..especially about why he had to READ a prepared/rehearsed statement.  He wasn't speaking from the heart..he was speaking from the paper.  Watch the video..

Tiger's Presser Today..

Yeah, I watched it.  Could not resist.  I wanted to hear it straight from the source..and I stand corrected.  In what was approx 15 minutes of a statement, I really believed what he had to say.  I thought he was contrite and sincere. He apologized.  He acknowledged his shortcomings.  He does sound a like guy who's been in therapy for the last 45 days. 

He mentioned growing up as a buddhist..and how he strayed away from those beliefs.  He made it clear that this was about his behavior, not passing blame on anyone else.  One thing that stood out was he asked for people to believe in him, rather than forgive him.  That tells me he does realize his role model status.  He directed his need forgiveness to his family and close friends.  Thats where it should be.

I do feel he accomplished something today..the start of the healing process.  It was clear what his priorities are right now..family and not golf.  Good for Tiger.  Now for the real truth.  Will his actions be as sincere and contrite as his words?  Time will tell..

Darkness lies outside me, here,
And a bit inside as well...
How absurd is this desert city!
I can't even explain how,
But this is not my dimension,
And my mind gets never comfort,
It is always somewhere else.
But you... where are you? Where's your voice?
What about me if I don't have you,
If I don't get your help?
Everything will look better,
Under the light that will come from the sun!
This night will be gone,
Darkness will fade out!
Hills will be seen,
I will go on looking for you.
Away from this melancholy,
Envy or rage alike.
I don't want these words anymore
To be here in my heart
But you... where are you?
Where's your smile
What about me if I don't have you,
If I don't get your love?
Everything will look better,
Under the light that will come from the sun!
This night will be gone,
Darkness will fade out!
And under the light of that sun
I will go on looking for you.
Everything will look better,
Under the light, under the sun,
Silence will die,
People there will feel confused.
And under the light of that sun
I will go on looking for you.

Tiger Presser..OMG!

For those of you following the Tiger Woods soap opera..I'm sure you're aware of the 11:00a ET press conference scheduled for tomorrow (02/19).  My suggestion to you..IGNORE IT.  Don't watch..don't record it..no Tivo..no DVRing.  It may be five minutes of the most hyped press conference ever.  For starters..it's not a press conference..its going to be a statement from Tiger.  He's hand picked the people attending.  He will not take questions.  Might as well be cardboard cut outs of reporters. So basically its a 5 minute.."I feel so bad for me..coz I got caught.  Coz, the real truth came out about me..and it cost me my family."  You won't get those same words..but if you read between the lines..you'll get them.  I'm betting the same message could be conveyed on his web site.

In no way does this presser allow him to own up and apologize to all involved.  I'm not talking about apologizing to me.  His apologies should be to his family, closest friends, corporate sponsors, die-hard fans who have supported him and the products he endorse.  I could give a rat's ass.  I'm pretty sure I'll miss the presser..if only forgetting about it. 

If anything, Tiger has shown how he has manipulated people along his way to success.  Stabbing his loved ones in the back during the process.  This is malignant narcissism at its finest.

If you have five minutes on your hands tomorrow..call someone who you care about just to say you  care..play with your doggie..load the dishwasher..take out the garbage..fold those clothes that are still in the clothes basket..if you're a male 40 or over, exercise your protaste (refer to previous blog).  Just do something a slight bit productive..

To the Golfing Community regarding your God..

The one you proclaimed as your Golf Messiah..turns out to be a blaspheme liar.  The one who spoke in distorted truths..has made "Doubting Thomas" want some proof.  Tiger Wood's is no God..just a clever man's charade.


Peace out my HALEYUNNS!

Imitation is the best form of flattery..

Just when we think we have all the answers..someone starts changing the questions.  Pot, marijuana, kronik, whatever you want to call has always made its way to the general public. I personally pass on it.  However, I do know of people who sometimes use it..or who swears by it for social fun..or who makes it part of their diet.  My only concern or interest with it..is to make sure its not accessible to my family.  Like most hobbies/habits..its expensive.  Bottomline is that its an illegal drug.  But with every brand names..comes the generic version.  I introduce you to K2.."or 'Spice', 'Genie' and 'Zohai' — that is commonly sold in headshops as incense."  K2 turns out to be a legal mixture of herbs and spices..sprayed with a synthetic compound that is similiar to the "psychoactive" ingredient found in marijuana.  GREAT. 

Parents, friends..I share this with you as information that this stuff is out there.  Although it is perfectly legal, there are some states that are trying to consider new legislation for it.  Click on the title to read the entire story.  As if we didn't already have enough to worry about.  Then again..for now..for the user..it is a loop hole should it indeed work like the brand name.

Congo's Forgotten War

I came across this NY Times article by chance (click title to go to the online link).  To me, it was simply a reminder how the media gravitates to one story..and makes it the entire news story for their 30 minute nightly show...for weeks at a time.  For the last weeks/month, we've had the Haiti disaster shown nightly..and kinda shoved down our throats.  Don't get me wrong..its sad and tragic.  I've helped by texting money to the relief.  The earthquake in Haiti turned out to be a disaster that has killed tens of thousands of people.  Very sad.  To see the kids, everyone suffering, makes me rethink what i bitch and moan about each day.  With that said..the war in the Congo is sadly ignored.  Talking about disaster and tragedy..a study has determined that more than 5 million people have died since April of 2007.  That's unheard of.  The reports of how these militia have run through these villages like hurricanes..leaving everything in its path in pieces.  Literally and figuratively. Very sad.

When I read this story and similiar events like these around the world..it challenges my beliefs and faith.  Its sad to think that it takes a natural disaster or some major celebrity to get one's attention.  This is as real as it gets.  I encourage you to read the story and share with me your thoughts.  I simply ask WHY?  Then I ask..WHAT can we do about it?  No immediate answers here.  This isn't about black, white, red or yellow.  Its about human life.  I read the stories..and simply wish peace for those who continue to suffer.

Winter Olympics..bought and paid for

I've never been a fan of the Winter Olympics.  Not to knock the event..I'm just not a fan of the sports/events involved...bobsledding, hockey, luge, skiing, snowboarding, ice skating..you get the idea.  However, I have tuned in to some of the events..if only because of channel surfing.  Nonetheless..some events did keep me watching for a few minutes.  Then it hit me what the Winter Olympics was primarily about.  Its mostly a gathering of high-class caucasians..who are basically big fish swimming in a very small pond.  Be cool..I'll elaborate.  The Winter Olympics is not really about world talent..its about world wealth.

Lets take skiing.  What they do..coordination, strength, speed, courage is absolutely insane.  I mean that in a good way.  It is a unique kind of competion/sport..whatever you want to call it.  But it is truly flawed in its limitation of  talent.  My point..the olympic skier comes from a very small % of people who have access to this sport.  Fault of theirs?  No.  Back in my school days..I remember a kid who bragged about his skiing talent.  Claiming to be the best skier in school or the city.  I remember thinking SO WHAT.  Truth was..he was probably the ONLY skier in school.  He was probably the only kid who had access to slopes or training or the travels that would allow him to succeed at skiing.  Without a doubt..skiing requires intense training..and money.  Its a rich man's sport.  Period.  Think about it..how many "poor countries/continents" do you see competing for a skiing medal..ZERO.  The people and countries with the money..competes in a sport like skiing.  You can apply this principle to most of the Winter Olympic sports.  It applies to a small group of people.  Unlike the Summer Olympics..where most sports are available to individuals with little to no cost (i.e., basketball, soccer, baseball, etc).

If you look at the highest level of skiing talent in the world...for every one high profile skiier..you probably have the equivalent of 100 NBA players..maybe 1000.  I'm not knocking skiing. I'm saying that its simply the product of the finest country clubs around the world.



I'd like your feedback.  Peace out my HALEYUNNS!

Danica Patrick

The NASCAR world had some company, of sorts, over this past weekend.  The arrival and presence of Danica Patrick almost became more of a focal point than the race itself.  Truth be told..I have no interest in NASCAR or any of the racing circuits.  That's not a knock on the sport..just doesn't do anything for me.  I definitely believe it takes a unique talent to push those cars at those speeds.  The timing, coordination and reflex of those drivers is insane.  Respect for the drivers..absolutely. HOWEVER, I do have a beef with the way Danica gets played in the "good ole boys" club.  I really feel she doesn't get her due respect.

From a market perspective..she's right up there with Dale Jr, Tony Stewart, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon..and whoever else is on the race car pedestal.  I admit..I do a double-take when those GoDaddy.com commercials air.  She's not ugly..at all.  Her name and image only help the sport.  Period. 

Now for the respect part..

I listen to the so called experts that bash her for only winning ONE career race.  Comparing her to other sport figures who have/had the image..but did not succeed in their sport (i.e., Anna Kournikova/tennis - yes, Anna is eye candy..period).  I don't think that's a fair comparison.  Anna's sport, tennis, was about going one-on-one, and the better player won.  That's not the case here.  Danica competes against 20 plus other drivers (depending on the type of race) and competes well.  Yes, she's only won one racing event..but to me its more than that one event.  If you Google Danica..and check her career earnings, her average finish..she's beating lots of men every weekend.  She has lots of top 10 finishes..which means she routinely beats more than half the field each race.  And if I'm not mistaken..they are of the male persuasion.  I'm pretty damn sure there are lots of men who can't even touch her racing earnings and/or average finish.

I don't think of racing as an individual sport.  There's too many players involved with each race team.  I feel she continues to prove herself with each race..each interview..each commercial.  She is a hot commodity for the sport..and will be for a long time.  In my eyes..she proves her worthiness to the sport each week.  Go Danica!!

Tigaaaa Woods (PG17)

The proverbial saying..if you think you have it bad..someone else always has it worse.  Far be it from me to ever throw rocks when I know I tend to live in a glass house.  But what I've done in my past pales in comparison the Tiger Woods.  Catching up on daily news from foxnews.com, I ran across the latest info from the "Tiger Tails" (should I patent that?).  I'll quote straight from the news source..foxnews.com (click the title to read the entire story):

Tiger Woods allegedly impregnated his porn star mistress twice, both times when his wife was also pregnant, according to an interview with the woman set to air Monday.

Joslyn James, the star of such adult classics as Big Breasted Nurses and My Sex Teacher #12, said her lengthy and steamy affair with Tiger Woods always involved unprotected sex. (Using Beavis and Butthead voices and laughter..."they said Big Breasted Nurses."  Not real sure how to spell out their laugh..but you get it.)

Joslyn James goes on to say.."It was never protected."

(does anyone have the Big Breasted Nurses on DVD?)

James, 32, who carried on an affair with Woods from 2006 to 2009, said she miscarried in her first pregnancy at about the same time his wife, Elin Nordegren, gave birth to daughter Sam Alexis on June 18, 2007.

(not too concerned about the My Sex Teacher #12 DVD...once you've seen 1-8..you kinda get the idea.)

OK..we get it.  But I really don't.  The mindset of Tiger..as well as other "celebs" is the thought of being bulletproof..that they are untouchable.  I really don't get it.  If indeed Tiger was consistenty using his "driver"..to shoot his "boys" into someone's "fairway"..tells me that he had no reason to fear any kind of backlash.  There have also been reports of all the hush money that's been paid out.  The most recent was for a threesome that supposedly was caught on camera and/or video.  Amazing.  What I'm waiting on is the chick who elected to save some of Tiger's "teletubbies" (sperm) to really cash in.  How much do you think each of those "MASTERS" are worth???

(Big Breasted Nurses..lol)

Again..I'm not bashing him for his infidelities.  Just questioning the logic.

Peace out my big, little, flat, whatever breasted HALEYUNNS!

The sun's still warm and most days are good / The world still turns like you said it would / But this pain seems to never let me go / And there is really no movin' on / There's only going along / And I will always be / Better for you loving me / Better for the times we shared / That travel with me everywhere / And I will always try / To hold my head up to the sky / If only just to let you know / That straight from my heart / I still miss you so / If I could I would gladly trade / A thousand tomorrows for one yesterday / There are so many things that I would say / You're a part of every memory / That lives on in me / Chorus

Have a great Monday.  Peace out my HALEYUNNS!

Make Tomorrow Better..

This blog will be one of my real world issues/thoughts.  People who know me know how much I love my kiddos.  Although I share custody..I do my best to keep an eye on their daily routines..always thinking about them getting through their day safely.  With that said..nothing gets my attention more than seeing a child suffer in life.  Whether it is some kind of abuse..some kind of natural disaster (i.e., Haiti)..countries at war..poverty..anything.  No child deserves to suffer.  It breaks my heart to hear or see it.  If we as adults..or even children..can do or say anything to make it better for someone..go for it.  I can do more, as well.  I'm not just talking about kids in other countries.  Maybe its the kid(s) next door.  Be cognizant of what surrounds you.  There's too much sh!t on TV to not let us forget.  I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir.  I know I'm blogging to a lot of good people.

Beautiful World..

This is my Valentine's Day dedication to my beautiful kiddos.  Thanks for your constant love, care, humor..and of course pain and suffering.  I love you guys just as you are.  With you..it is a beautiful world.

In the morning / Hope is whispering to me quietly / Some confusion / Seems to reign continuously over me / Though I walk through the valley / No more shadows will cover me / Now you've opened my eyes / CHORUS / It's a beautiful world / When I've got you here to hold / It's a beautiful world / Where all Heaven's light is shone / It's a beautiful world / When I've got you here to hold / It's a beautiful world / When I just let love take control / In the evening / Faith is watching over me, I believe / As I'm lying / In arms of security I can see / All the ways you have given / In my hour of blinding need / Now you've opened my eyes / CHORUS / The only way to hope is through tears / The only way to faith is through fear / The only way to love is when you kneel / Now you've opened my eyes / CHORUS

Hearts Day

Just wanted to give a shout out to my HALEYUNNS on this 14th day of February..Valentine's Day.  Hope everyone had a good day with those that mean the most to you.  I did get to spend time with my kiddos.  I felt the love.  Also, got a surprising call from an aunt that I haven't talked too in years.  This was the same aunt that I would spend my summers with during the school summer breaks.  Basically, my second mother growing up.  She reminded me of the those summers and the love she still has for me.  Very special.  I've had my moments lately..and was determined that there would be no whining or feeling sorry for myself today.  However, that call made me shed a tear after all..for all the right reasons.  Thanks for making my day.

Twenty four and he believes for sure he's got it made / Fame is here for good and looks will never fade / He doesn't know / The game is never over 'till the cards have all been played / Eighty three and still he feels his best is yet to come / He believes that youth is wasted on the young / He's alone / The only dream he ever has is being with someone / Love you when your standing tall / But nobody knows you when your falling / All you have to do is call / But nobody ever hears the silent scream / Christmas came and went again but still nobody came / Staring at her wedding photo in a frame / She's alone / We should hope the loss of memory helps to ease the pain / Chorus / Memories, moments you recall / We should be remembered for the greatest of them all / You can't begin to live someone else's life or your own will pass you by / Oh, who's to know maybe we can learn a thing or two from everyone / Chorus

Great for the Prostate (PG40)

I happened to catch some medical info on TV regarding prostate health for men 40 and over.  I'm 42..so it caught my attention.  Then I was a little blown away by the info that followed.  The source..Dr. Oz from the Oprah show.  They referred Dr. Oz's info as "PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT AND MUCHO MASTURBATION".  I was like..WHAT THE HELL???  However, what went in one ear..and DIDN'T go out the other..was Dr. Oz saying something about men should ejaculate at least 21 times per month.  I was like..WHAT THE HELL?  I went online to find more info about what Doc Ozz was talking about..and I indeed found it on his website.  The video was enlightening about how ejaculation is good to flush the prostate..as well as good for your heart.  Then I got to really thinking..how many guys 40 and over realistically ejaculate (one way or another) 21 times per month?  I did what any good blogger would do..did some research.  I found 10 friends..40 and over..and asked them if they had 21 happy endings per month.  The results..only 20% can say they do...2 out of 10.  And for the icing on the cake..I'm 42 and divorced..and can't come close to 21 either.  So the percentages are even lower.  Research shows losing your prostate can reduce your sex life to little or none.  I personally know someone who hasn't had an erection since removing his prostate over a year ago.  HOLY HELL!!!  Two things came out of my research..us guys are not getting sex as often as we like..and we're not helping our prostate as much as we should.  In no way is this a plea for our wives, girlfriends, significant others, whoever to engage in more frequent sex (although it definitely would help).  This is more for my fellow fellaas to be aware of this info and act accordingly.  I'm in the process of forming the PROSTATE 'BATE KLUB so that all of us 40 and over dinosaurs get the help and ASSistance, as needed.  Below is a link to the Dr. Oz video from his website.  Guys..take care of yourself..one way or another.  Have a good night my HALEYUNNS!!!

***Let me add something.  When I say 21 ejaculations...that could mean sexually or via tool at the end of your arm.

Pet Peeve of the week

Another routine I'm going to share are my pet peeves..on a weekly basis.  I'm doing it on a weekly basis so that you don't think I'm WHINING all the time.  Just WHINING on a weekly basis.  Today's PEEVE..is the "WWW" thing.  For the record..when surfing the Internet..you DO NOT have to put WWW in the address line.  Simply put the domain name...i.e., haleyeah.com.  Therefore, you don't even have to say it..or provide it to anyone who needs a web address.  Besides..why would you want to waste nine (9) syllables that are not needed...DOUBLE YOU DOUBLE YOU DOUBLE YOU..you get it?  Then again..if you have a little "red" in ya..you'd be wasting six (6) syllables...DUBBYA DUBBYA DUBBYA.  You know who you are.  Think about how DUH..DUMB it sounds.  And to add insult to injury..most of you only get two of the "Ws" out.  Yes..this is one of my pet peeves.  The Ws are not needed.  I cringed whenever I see it typed on a TV ad..or spoken.  Kinda like nails on a chalkboard.  I don't know why..so don't ask.

OK HALEYUNNS...this is my rant for the day.  Enjoy your Friday.

I Will Remember..

Going to start a routine where my first blog of the day will be lyrics from a song.  Every song lyrics I post will be one that have a special place in my mind, heart and/or soul.  Just another way of you getting to know me.  Click on the title to listen to the song.  Words/Music by SLukather and RGoodrum.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was born in the land of the sun and the tall green grass / And I don't understand how all this has come to pass / How we've come to surround ourselves in a sea of thieves / In a land without learning only the fools believe / I went driving last night on a dark canyon road / Had the sky to myself but I wasn't alone / Had the pain of my lifetime for my company / How did it end up like this for you and me / When love breaks the promise the heart has to keep / It leaves only truth here to find / When the spirit is crushed and the hurt is so deep / Between you and I / Even when love has come and gone and our hearts have moved along / I will remember / There was a time we had the trust / And that always was enough / I will remember / I will remember you / As I open my eyes to one more day / The wind burns my face as it whispers your name / As it's pulling me forward it tears me free / And the only thing left is the tears for and me / 'Cause when love breaks the promise the heart has to keep / It leaves only truth here to find / When the spirit is crushed and hurt is so deep / Between you and I / Even when love has come and gone and our hearts have moved along / I will remember / There was a time we had the trust / And that always was enough / I will remember / I will remember you

The Carol Experience..

I have to take some time to remember my sister, Carol, who has been gone for 10 years.  We buried her on February 2, 2000.  To this day..I remember the Saturday morning when I got the call from my mother..crying and screaming on the other end of the phone.  Still moves me.  What I also remember is the Friday night prior to Carol passing.  This is "The Carol Experience"..

Mellany (ex-wife) and I went with Kerry (friend) to Bahama Freeze the night before Carol passed.  I had not talked or seen Carol in over a week..which was a normal thing.  No biggee.  Later in the night, Kerry ran into a friend and thee friend.  Mellany and I did a double-take..and both of us agreed..that thee friend was Carol made over.  She looked like Carol..and even smoked like Carol.  Of course, we told her the similarities she had with my sister.  We probably hung out for 30 minutes with some small talk..then she was gone.  Saturday morning came and went.  Some time later in that Saturday..it hit me.  I was able to "see and speak with Carol" one more time before she passed.  The girl that crossed my path the night before..the girl who looked and gestured like Carol..was my last opportunity to "speak" with my sister. I shared this story with my parents and those who attended the funeral.  I truly believed that it was meant to be.  Approximately one month later, I see this girl again at a club.  She recognized me..as I did her.  I shared the "Carol Experience" with her.  We sat down to talk about it..and hugged and cried together for 10 minutes.  It was so surreal.  We both were convinced that our paths were meant to cross..as she was allowed to let me see Carol through her.  Its a crazy story..but a moment in time that I will never forget.  I have not seen this girl since..and don't really need too.  She helped with my emotions at that time..and made me realized that Carol is in a better place..and that she wanted to see her big brother those last two times.

I believe in the gift of faith.  Just reach out your hand..and I'll give you mine.

Louisville vs St John's

Louisville ventured into the world's most famous arena tonight for a game against St John's.  They leave with the heads hung low..after a very bad loss. Did the NBA coaching chatter of Pitino get in the heads of his players?  Don't think so.  Pitino seemed to put those rumors to rest very early today.  UL trailed 40-34 with plenty of time left in the game..only to see their defense abandon them..along with getting the ball effectively into Samuels.  Bottomline..it was a bad loss for UL and one of NY's favorite sons.  The Pitino/UL appeal wasn't there either..as the arena was half-full (being optimistic) tonight.  St John's is a Big East cellar team at best.  It was a must-win road game for the Cards..and they couldn't get it done.  After tonight..they are definitely on the outside looking in regarding the Big Dance.  I do have empathy for my friends who are Cards fans.  This reminds me a lot of my Cats of last year..

Affirmation..

While I'm working on some other blogs..I wanted to post the lyrics of this song by Savage Garden..Affirmation.  This song reflects about 99.9% of my thoughts.  Words and music by Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones.

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument / I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands / I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you / I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do / I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem / I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone / I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned / I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned / I believe the grass is more greener on the other side / I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye / I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality / I believe that trust is more important than monogamy / I believe that your most attractive features are your heart and soul / I believe that family is worth more than money or gold / I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair / I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires / I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned / I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned / I believe the grass is more greener on the other side / I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye / I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness / I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed / I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists / I believe in love surviving death into eternity / I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned / I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned / I believe the grass is more greener on the other side / I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gospel to me.  Hope you're enjoying your day my HALEYUNNS!!!

Man vs Wild (behind the scenes)

I'm a huge fan of Bear Grylls and his show, Man vs Wild.  After watching several shows..I wondered what it was like for the crew/camera guys to follow Bear around the world.  How do they really get to the places that Bear goes..and explores?  Well all of my questions will be answered tonight.  Tonight's show at 9:00p on Discovery Channel will give us a "behind the scenes" look by following the crew.  Granted, most of Bear's adventures are of the most extreme and that I'm pretty damn sure I won't EVER have to do those things to survive..I can watch, appreciate and apply the same mindset to other things..like how to survive my kid's teenage years...I digress.  However, when you think about it..as much "adventure" stuff that they do on the show..shouldn't you have a camera crew filming the camera crew that's filming the camera crew that's filming the camera crew..and so on?  Wouldn't that make for good TV?  Who knows?  Regardless..going to get settled in..and tune in to Discovery at 9:00p.

Have a good night my HALEYUNNS!!!!

College Basketball's Greatest Rivalry..

Tonight resumes what most experts claim is the greatest rival in college basketball..Duke vs North Carolina. For those in these parts (state of Kentucky), we may argue that claim. Round here..it doesn't get any better than the Kentucky - Louisville basketball game. The love/hate that Commonwealth share for the other is absolutely crazy. It also makes for major bragging rights for the next 365 days. I am a UK fan..but I'm a calm/realistic fan. I don't go to players Facebook pages to rip them apart when we lose a game. They're kids. Its still a game. However, that's the passion that most have for their beloved teams in the state. With that said..we (UK/UL fans) still take a backseat to UNC/Duke as the greatest rivalry. Simply using the last decade, Duke and UNC have consistently stayed high in the national rankings..one or two in the ACC and have legitimately competed for a national championship. WE (UK/UL) can't say the same. For the last two years..UK has really been on the outside looking in. The Gillispie era was a setback. With Coach Cal and Slick Rick at the throne of the state's top two teams..we're on our way. With UNC having a bad year..and realistically not getting back to the NCAA tourney to defend their title..OUR GAME is catching up to the CAROLINA game. Today..we're still in second place. However..we're gaining ground fast. If UK crashes the final four..getting back to the national prestige..I'll revisit this blog and see where we stand.

Day One..

..yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. Today begins my travels as a blogger. Who would have thunk it? To be honest..I always had negative things to say about bloggin. Who really wants to hear someone else's opinion? Reality is..bloggin is everywhere and about everything. Got me to rethink..why bash'm..maybe I should join'm. People who know me...know I always have something on my mind. Albeit..something. Positive..negative..reality..fantasy..it's there. With that said..I give you the first edition of the HALEYEAH blog. My blog topics will initially be everywhere and everything. From..love to hate. From movies to music. From shopping to selling. From family to friends. I'll give you straight shooting from the bowels of HALE. One thing I realize is..for every blog there comes a response. Don't hold back. Your honesty can only entice the conversation..or lead me to my next topic. It's all good. Lets have some fun. I'm working on my first topic now. Stay tuned..
